Happy Birthday Alina!!!

Alina is 2 now!!! She had so much fun on her birthday and at her birthday party this weekend!!

Some of Alina's best friends!

Her new sled, she wanted to go sledding right now!

And a new play tent! She has spent a lot of time in there(with her new computer too!) and we have lost what was left of our living room!

Pulling her new wagon (in the outfit she picked out all by herself!) 

This was from a while ago and I just found it

And one of me and my huge belly, which makes a nice shelf :) 34 weeks!

Two Peas in a Pod

Reading medical journals together!

"You (she says 'you' instead of 'I') want to see another picture of a PET scan."

Happy Halloween!!

We celebrated Halloween a little early at a special event for kids this weekend!  Alina loves Elmo and was excited to be dressed like him, but didn't want to wear the Elmo hood

Checking out her "candies and trick or treats!"  (that Mama and Dada will eat!)  We totally forgot to get a special pumpkin to put them in so we grabbed this cloth grocery bag out of our car at the last minute.

Trick or treating

She loves hanging on the bar at the park and going down the super big and fast slides that Dada introduced her to!

A couple of cute ones I forgot to post from our hike

Sean got to fly to Virginia to be in SeanO's wedding this week...it sounded like an amazing time!! Congratulations Uncle SeanO!!!!!!!

Alina decided not to nap one day this week and ended up falling asleep in the stroller later...so precious

32 weeks and a name!

Baby Colin was weighing in at an estimated 4 lbs 12 oz this week at my ultrasound....2 oz less than Alina when she was born!!

I think my maternity shirts are getting too small....is that possible?? 

Hiking

Alina loved hiking and for most of the time was running, running, and running!!  We think she ran the toddler equivalent of a marathon

Our friends gave us this bike helmet for Alina and she didn't want to take it off!

Leaves!

Alina had so much fun playing in the leaves with Dada!

Then they found some milkweed to play with and Alina decided to carry a bunch home!

She got into the sticky notes and put them all over herself and Dada!

A couple random shots

These pictures are from a little while back when Alina was "driving" Uncle Jared's big truck!

Alina got a new John Deere hat from the construction workers who were paving our driveway and wanted to wear it backwards like Dada!
