Yesterday we all went to my OB appointment and got to hear the little heartbeat growing inside! Thump, thump...thump, thump. Music to our ears. Even Vanessa was curious about the funny sound coming from mommy's belly, either that or wondering why this strange woman was putting a machine over it. I'm 13 weeks at the end of this week, the countdown to April 2010 has begun.
The new blanco isn't the only one growing, Vanessa had her 15 month check up this week and is getting taller by the day. She weighed in at just 21lbs (our little peanut still), but is now 31 1/2 inches tall. She may only be in the 10% percentile for weight but she's now in the 60th percentile for height....grow girl, grow. Nothing wrong with being tall and thin! The better to hit the golf ball according to daddy.
We headed back to the apple orchard this weekend to pick up some pumpkins...of course while there we had to get a few more apples and grab some yummy cider donuts too. The place was packed with people, the line for donuts unreal but so worth the wait. You can't go apple picking without getting cider donuts...just like you can't have an apple orchard in Upstate NY without a great live Reggae band. Right??? Take a peek at the video of Vanessa gettin' her groove on to the steel drums. She was a real show stealer ;-) It's truly Fall everywhere here! We took some pictures of Juan getting his taste of the joy's of home ownership in the fall (or maybe it's the woes of owning a mulching mower and not a bagged one?)
