There is a good chance I am posting too many pictures from our weekend in the mountains, there will need to be a second post because these pictures are just saturday. We had a great time and Helen Jeanette LOVED the mountain house. Anytime she was inside she was standing out the door asking for “side side”.

We made a fire pit and roasted s’mores, and I hope that will be a something we repeat often and becomes a special memory for the kids. We also had a very successful egg hunt and spent a beautiful weekend outside.

Warning: photo overload! Here are our family pictures from right after Killian was born.

Killian has many facial expressions, but he keeps a hold on Chris through the whole conversation.



Helen Jeanette is interested in climbing on or in everything in sight. She is also really into her belly button right now.

It was warm enough in the house for this outfit but not quite enough for outside so we weren’t out for long. She was saying ‘cheese’ through this entire series of pictures. You can just make out Killian on the porch.















Helen Jeanette (or Chunky McChunkerson) as I have started calling her, had her 18 month appointment today and everything is going great. She’s ahead developmentally on pretty much everything, even speech which I thought might be a little delayed. She has way more words then they look for but very few two word phrases, but evidently they only look for kids to have a couple at this point. I’ve definitely known more developed talkers at her age, but it’s good to know she’s still average/slightly above average. She still has fewer spanish words then english but there doesn’t appear to be any difference in her comprehension in the 2 languages, which is great!

She’s growing like a weed (hence her new nickname) and seems to be putting most of it in her round little tummy.

Height: 32.28″ (67 percentile)

Weight: 25 lb 2.1 oz (81 percentile)

Head Circumference: 19.29″ (98 percentile)

It’s worth noting that Helen Jeanette had her 1 month appointment early because we were traveling to California. Her appointment was Sept 26th and she wasn’t 1 month until October 8th. Killian had his 1 month 2 days late. Also, the percentiles are from their own sex, so that’s why Helen Jeanette might be smaller but in a higher percentile.

Killian 1 month: Height: 20.87″ (15 percentile) Weight: 10 lb 3.7 oz (56 percentile) Head Circumference:15.35″ (91 percentile)

Helen Jeanette 1 month: Height: 20.47″ (54 percentile) Weight: 9 lb 4.3 oz (77 percentile)

This is the Easter dress Oma made, we’re wearing it early to get the most use out of it. Helen Jeanette is also 18 months old today! We go to the doctor tomorrow so we will find out her stats then.

Helen Jeanette was not a fan of the snow this year, and we got a lot of it! We still got some cute pictures though!
