Randoms

Here are some random pictures of Jake and Olivia from this year. It's been a rough start to the new year as Jake had Bronchiolitis in January and then both Olivia and Jake were hospitalized this past week with pneumonia. It's been pretty horrible. The week before that I had emergency surgery to remove my galbladder. So we've been a mess. Hopefully all we can do is go up! (wish us luck!).

Arrrr!!

So it's December and I'm just putting up pictures from Halloween...I have a newborn and a 1 1/2 year old, sue me! This year Olivia was a pirate. If you asked her, what does a pirate say, she'd respond ARRRR!! That's what she's saying in this picture. Ever since the Pirate Treasure episode from the Backyardigans, Olivia has been in love with pirates. One time we were at Babies R Us and she just kept saying, I'm a pirate! The lady at the register loved it! So of course, she had to be a pirate for Halloween. She was SO adorable!!

Since Jake had just been born 4 days before his first Halloween, I figured there was no costume tiny enough. So instead of a costume, he wore a babies first Halloween beenie with matching pumpkin socks and an orange onesie that said: This IS my costume. It was too cute! We all went trick or treating with Ava in her neighborhood and Olivia got lots of candy, and instead of saying trick or treat or even thank you, she just said ARRRR!

Jake Robert Tanner

He is finally here. Jake was born Tuesday October 27th, 2009 at 12:48pm

He weighed 8 lbs 8 oz and was 20.5 in long. He is absolutely perfect!

We are so excited to have him and Olivia could not love her brother any more. It's so cute!

Jake is doing great and already back up to his birth weight. We just had his first doctor's appointment this morning. He is perfect! Thank you to everyone that was at the hospital when he was born and for everyone that came out to see him at our open house. We really appreciate everyone's love and support. Thanks!

Our big girl

I took Olivia to get new pictures taken because she hasn't had pictures since she turned one and she clearly has lots more hair and even has more teeth, finally! This time around was A LOT more difficult to get a good picture than it ever has been. Not only because I am 9 months pregnant but because she just loves to run around. Sitting still and looking at the camera is not her top priority. Some how we got some beautiful and great shots of her and even one with mama. That one was by pure luck. Trust me, I don't know how the photographer got that one, I literally grabbed her sat her down and smiled for the camera and had no idea what she was doing. As you can tell, she was luckily flashing that million dollar Livie smile. She's even showing off new teeth!! The tooth count is now up to 8 but it has stopped (at least for now). She has her top and bottom 2 front teeth and top and bottom 2 molars, but that's it. No mouth full of teeth just yet. I guess we'll have to wait until her second birthday for more teeth to appear. Not sure.

Olivia will be 18 months on Friday and so begins the real countdown for when her new little brother comes. My due date is October 27th, but I have a strong feeling he will be making his grand entrance just a bit early. I'm not sure why, I just have this feeling he's ready to go and he's ready to go now. A month early may be a bit too early, but I'm ready at any time. This time around has been a lot more trying than it was with Olivia. I'm going to chalk that up to carrying a boy. He's just showing me what boys are all about and giving me fair warning. Olivia is very excited about becoming a big sister. I don't think she really understands what is about to happen, but if you ask her where Jake or her brother is, she'll point to her own tummy and say brudder. It's so cute. Then you can correct her and point to my tummy and she will hug or kiss it and some times say Jay, which means Jake.

Olivia talks a lot, but you might not always understand what she's saying. She says full sentences but not full words. You have to just know what she's talking about. Or she just babbles and says the last word clearly. She's a blast. She's getting so big, time is going by so fast. We'll keep the blog updated on Jake's arrival.

Baby Jake in 3D!

Here is a 3D picture of our little Jake. We got some really good ones this time around. We think he's a cutie already! We have just about 2 months left until we get to meet him and we couldn't be more excited. Hope everyone enjoys this little sneak peek at Jake!

Drum roll please...

This is it.. We've finally decided on a full name for our new little boy. Jake Robert Tanner. Jacob is Ty's middle name so we shortened it to Jake and Robert is my dad's middle name and Ty's grandfather's first name. So we have officially named him and named him after very important people. Our little Jake is expected to arrive around October 27th, so about 95 days to go!!

Little Brother!!

It's official, IT'S A BOY!! Snips, snails and puppy dogs tails this time!! Olivia is very excited to have a little brother. And daddy can't wait for his little boy. I am very excited as well. I can't wait to have blue stuff, shop for boy clothes and all that. It's going to be such a difference. I'm so excited. The only unfortunate part is, I have no idea what we're going to name him. I'm so stuck with naming this kid. I don't seem to love anything, and I have to love my baby's name. Ty is stuck on Jake and just loves it. We'll have to see if it grows on me or not. I don't dislike it. We may come up with a couple names and put a poll out to see what everyone thinks. For now, it's baby boy Tanner... Although Ty is telling everyone it's Jake!!
Hopefully this obvious picture isn't too innapropriate for some viewers eyes!
