Thelma and Louise

Auntie Geri and Auntie Nicki did a tour of Wisconsin yesterday and stopped to visit us too. I was joking around with them about being like Thelma and Louise.....I wonder if they did pick up Brad Pitt on the way to Chicago?

Happy 2nd birthday Orion

Orion was excited to see a present as big as him!

We kept telling him to dig in the bag

He went in to the bag for the goodies

WOW! I am the mother of a 2 year old! Yikes....how did this happen? We have been celebrating his birthday since the weekend of the 20th, that is what happens when you have a baby around Christmas time. We had his 2 year check up today and he weighed in at 27.3 lbs and was 34 1/4 inches long. Of course the weight is in the 40th percentile...he is super skinny. The height was in the 75th percentile so we know he is going to be tall. It was sad because our wonderful pediatrician is retiring after this week so it was the last time we had to see him but he made sure to tell me that Orion looked perfect before he left the room!

Christmas Day

Santa brought Orion a Mack tent.....he loves talking to it but won't go in it unless one of us goes with him! We are too big for this!
