The Meeces: October 2009

October Fun

I really wish I could get out there and get those pumpkins.

This is what we get for not snapping in the crib sheet perfectly. I thought it was so cute that she fell asleep with her face on the tag.

Happy girl!

Cute Halloween outfit from Tyler's Aunt Jill.

Last week we had some really pretty weather and we tried to go to the park as much as possible. She is getting a little better about being in the stoller as long as I bring some fun toys and don't keep her in it more than 20-30 minutes. That is the perfect amount of time though to make it around the beautiful loop trail that goes by the resevoir.

Tyler met us at the park one day when he got off work. She was having a great time and squealing on this seesaw and was moving so fast most of my pictures were blurry.

Going down the slide....thought it was pretty fun until I went to pick her up and we both got shocked and then she was scared.

Ultrasound Pics

We got to have a 3D ultrasound while we were in Knoxville a few weekends ago. Minde has a friend at her OBGYN's office who was gracious enough to get us in for a really fun ultrasound. We only got to see Skylar at 17 weeks, so it was amazing to see how different they look. She was really active and moving all around during the ultrasound.

Baby leg and foot

These two pictures are face shots and she is looking directly at us with her left eye. The one below shows her eye wide open- crazy! They said her nose was all smooshed up against the uterine wall and where it looks dark above her head is from not much fluid being right there and it is hard to get a good shot.

Baby hand and foot

Thanks so much Minde and Denise for this fun experience!

Baby Shower

Minde and James hosted a baby shower for new baby Meece over the weekend. They did a fabulous job and had the most amazing food and decorations! I got sidetracked the second I got there and never got any pictures of the spread, but here is a description to make your mouth water: stuffed mushrooms, chicken fingers, chips and spinach dip, shrimp and pineapple skewers, fruit skewers with creamy dip, bite sized iced strawberry cakes, cookies with cute baby words on them, apple cider....and if that wasn't enough there were white chocolate covered oreo sticks to take home. Yum! They were so generous to have everyone over and it was great to see lots of family we hadn't seen in a while. There were lots of babies and toddlers to keep everyone entertained.
Baby Meece got some wonderful gifts and of course has a ton of cute outfits to wear already. Skylar did pretty well for having such a crazy weekend and traveling and being off her routine and is back to normal now. We are praying new baby is a car sleeper to make our trips to Knoxville a little easier:)
