Happy Halloween!

Jessa had a good Halloween again this year. Spent the day at home watching the Chiefs game with Daddy (yeah! they won!), Grandma and Grandpa Switzer came up for dinner, and of course we went trick or treating! Before that, she had fun picking out her own pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and other fun things they had at the farm.

She is so much fun. And what a sponge!! She will repeat anything right now and always wants more information: why? what? who? where? It never stops. Her verbal skills are very good and so is her memory. If you promise her something, you better follow through or she'll let you know about it! We have officially gotten rid of the pacifier (yeah!!!) and are working on potty training (uuggghhh..). Sometimes she'll sit on and use the big girl potty and other times she wants nothing to do with it. We're making progress though and she's come to us and the sitter several times saying she needs to go and does use it when we take her.

Next up: Thanksgiving and Christmas! We're very excited to take her to Branson over Thanksgiving. She will be lots of fun at Silver Dollar City this year. We've been talking a lot about Santa lately and she already knows what she's going to ask him for: a baby doll set. She wants her own doll with diaper bag, play pin, etc. Such a little girl! Well, mostly...check out the new boots she's wearing in some of the pictures. They were the un-girliest ones they had and she LOVES them! Gotta admit, they're super cute on her!!

Goooo Chiefs!!

Jessa watched today's Chiefs game with Daddy. She got almost as excited at he did (almost). During overtime she stood by him and copied his reactions to the plays. This is a video of the last play of the game when the Chiefs won. They didn't know I was recording them. Thankfully it was a good field goal kick and the Chiefs won, so I got their reaction and "celebration" on video.

Jessa's Summer Fun!

Jessa got to play in the rain one day when we were at
Grandma and Grandpa Switzer's house. She REALLY enjoyed it!


Showing off her freshly painted fingernails!



Relaxing and preparing for her "after bubble bath massage"
(aka: lotion and jammies)!


She found a new hat!


Someone's been playing in the mud!


We built Jessa a swing set at our house so she's really in heaven now!


Like all kids, Jessa loves ice cream.
This particular day she was VERY into it!

Yes, I'm FINALLY updating this!!

I've been really bad at keeping this updated and have some catching up to do! Jessa's doing great and continues to be a lot of fun. We're starting to see some of those "terrible two" moments, but thankfully they don't last long...yet. She's talking non-stop and learning new words and phrases every day. She's up to 28 pounds and the doctor says she's ahead on verbal skills. Bottom line: our girl is happy and healthy!

Jessa had a great 2nd birthday


Jessa's first Easter egg hunt was fun too.


In May Jessa graduated from her crib to a toddler bed.
She has done great with the switch!


We've been having fun in the sun this summer!
Jessa loves playing in the water.

Jessa Can Sing the ABC's...Mostly...

Jessa has started singing her ABC's. She gets most of the letters or is at least close enough you can tell what she's saying. In the video she kinda forgets the last part, backtracks, then finishes the song. Sorry about the impromptu coughing episode, but you'll see it's a rather funny addition!

Jessa is Getting So Big!

We are amazed each day with Jessa and the things she's learning, doing, and saying. She's recognizing letters and numbers, using three and four word sentences, and singing. Yes, singing! It's so cute, but I haven't been able to get it on video yet. Pictures are a little harder to get now too because she's curious about the camera, but we still got some great ones!

Being goofy for the camera!


Anyone who's seen my baby pictures or heard stories knows I used to lay, and sleep, on my toy box. Here's Jessa doing the same thing on the same toy box in her room.


We turned our computer room into a playroom for Jessa (complete with a TV and fun wall stickers). I know: we've REALLY spoiled her now, but it's nice to have the toys out of our living room! It's a shame this poor kid doesn't have any toys though...
