4th of July Fun

We had a very nice uneventful 4th this year, which was a nice rest. We stayed home relaxed and had some sparkler fun.

At first we didn't think Silas liked his swing very much. He was kind of crabby in it. But a minute later once he filled his pants we figured that was the why.

Norah liked the play mat even more than Silas.

Introducing.....

Silas Michael Jaeger!

He was born Friday July 2, 2010 at 9:37am. He hit the scales at 6 pounds 13 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. We were so blessed to have a good labor and delivery and we were so excited that we finally got to meet our little man. Seth went and got Norah and brought her down to meet Silas. She was in awe at first, but really excited. Whenever he had to leave the room Norah would ask, "Where Silas go?" She had fun visiting at the hospital especially when she got to watch a Dora the Explorer video (best thing I packed in the hospital bag). Because everything went smoothly and we were both healthy we were able to go home the next day. We love having Silas home and having our entire family together. Some family is coming up to meet Silas next weekend and to help us celebrate his baptism Sunday July 11.

Seeing Silas for the first time.

Telling us to "shhh" because Silas was sleeping.

Kisses!

The beautiful flowers Seth and Norah got me.

One of the fun things they did in the hospital.

Getting ready to go home.

Cash loves Silas already. He has been wonderful with him and understands already that Silas is top dog over him.

Norah Loves Cash, Johnny Cash that is.

Since her birthday, Norah has enjoyed looking at greeting cards especially the ones that play music. So she loves the Father's day card we got for Seth that plays music and has a message from her inside. This morning she was having fun playing the music from the card and was singing along nice and loud. I got to catch part of it. Hope you all enjoy a little Johnny Cash.

No News Here

Things have been pretty mellow around here lately. We've been staying closer to home hoping that our little baby boy will come soon. We'll let you all know when stuff happens and we'll put up a bunch of pictures.

Our neighbor Sophie came over to play yesterday. Norah loved it. These two played so well together and I have a feeling they're going to keep us on our toes in the future.

Hopefully this will be the last belly picture. Here I am 37 1/2 weeks almost 38 weeks.

Norah wanted her picutre taken too after mommy got hers taken.

"I'm Sprinklin'!"

"I'm sprinklin'!" are Norah's words. She was so excited to help mom put the sprinkles on the cookies that she made today. Surprisingly she didn't make that big of a mess. But I must say this little girl gets her sweet tooth from mom. At first all the sprinkles made it to the cookies and the frosting wasn't touched, but that didn't last too long.

Some of my favorites. The one with all the finger prints, loads of sprinkles, and the one on the top right that you can't even tell it was a white ice cream cone. We will all enjoy eating them.

Afternoon at the Park

Yesterday was a beautiful day so we decided to take Norah to Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls. We usually take her at least one time during the summer. It's fun to see her reactions each time, they keep getting better and better as she gets older.

Feeding the baby goats.

We got to play at the playground for a little while after seeing all the animals.

Playing with Cash

Norah has always loved watching Cash play, but lately she's been into playing with him. Almost every morning when we go downstairs for breakfast she needs to find him to say, "Good morning, Cash! How you doing?" She also has been trying to play fetch with him. I say trying because Cash doesn't know what to think about it. He's a little confused about the whole thing. Below is a video of her playing with him. It's not the best video, but you'll get the idea.
