We love our Auntie Suzi!

We had a very... long night last night and didn't get much sleep. So today Aunt Suzi came over and brought a yummy lunch and to relieve me for a few moments. She also brought us the coolest advent calendar ever! I've been dreading December 1st because it's my first day back to work, now at least I have something fun to open. There is a special treat for each day! We are so lucky to have her, we are always saying the world would be a much better place if everyone had an Auntie Suzi. We're sure glad we have one.

 The cutest smile

 Jacob was dieing to hold Zander, as soon as Zander was set on his lap he was
complaining he was "too heavy". We did manage to get a few "cheeses" out of him though.

 Laughing at Aunt Suzi, she is pretty silly

A glimpse into my future

For those of you who are unaware of the love and dedication the Stover's have for wrestling, allow me to inform you that even before Zander was born it was decided that he would be a great wrestler. This weekend I was witness to what only can be viewed as a glimpse into my future.... spending a Saturday watching my husband and son near a wrestling mat. Yes you may laugh and think how cute (which is certainly true since I do live with very good looking men) but those of you who love and adore Zander.. ie. Suzi, Baylee and Katie... will be required to be at these future matches too, not so funny now eh?

Who am I kidding, I can't wait!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Zander's first Thanksgiving was definitely the best yet... and the rest of the family agreed. We went over to my parents for dinner since Brandon's parents were in Oregon quading. Everyone brought something and it was delicious. We had oven baked turkey, deep fried turkey, ham, yams, stuffing, green beans, jello, rolls, pumpkin cheese cake, and pumpkin pie.

Here are some photos from our evening. Hope your holiday was just as wonderful.

While I made the yams and Brandon prepped the turkey, Zander slept

Here he is rubbing on all the spices. This was his first year deep
frying a turkey on his own. I was a little nervous to say the least.

 Great Grandma took such good care of Zander before dinner that it wore her out!

All in all it was a wonderful Thanksgiving and
reminds me how much I have to be thankful for this year!

More of our Handsome Boy

I just can't get enough of him. He's sleeping right now and I am half tempted to go wake him up.... I won't of course .... I'll get plenty of him at 3am.

Floor time fun with a very handsome boy

Even Zander agrees he is the most handsome boy he's ever seen.

He spent an amazing 35 minutes playing on the floor and staring at himeself!

Thanks Megan!

Two Months Old!

Zander is two months old today and is more amazing than ever. He is much more playful than last month, probably because he doesn't sleep 20 hours a day anymore. At two months he is now smiling when he sees familiar faces and when people talk to him, kicking and swatting at toys, tracking things, entertaining himself, drinking 4oz at a time, sleeping 7-8 hours during the night, coos and ahhs a lot, doesn't mind getting his diaper or his clothes changed, sneezes only about 10 times a day, and has put himself to sleep (a few times).

Weighing in at 11lbs 9oz

Height 23 1/4 inches

      

Sunday with Aunt Baylee

Since Auntie dropped her iPhone in the toilet ( no this is not the first or

even second time she has done this) Zander got her full undivided attention.

TGIF!

Here's to...

an early bed time for Zander, a month left of
maternity leave, and hopes for a full night sleep.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Rump.... I mean Hump Day!
