A Viking and a Princess

These pictures explain our girls' differences perfectly. Jayden recently found a Viking hat that we purchased years ago for Jaycee (back when she acted like a Viking). She LOVES this hat and walks around the house wearing it often. She had to eat her pizza with her hat, and once she saw that pictures were being taken, she put on quite the faces to compliment the Viking hat. Here's what she thought was the appropriate face while wearing the Viking hat. . .






And while Jayden was a Viking, Jaycee took it upon herself to dress as Princess Jaycee. Her newest fashion statement is throwing the shoulders off every dress to look more and more like the characters from her movies and computer games. She even found a very small pair of sparkle shoes to accent her yellow Belle dress. This kid is quite the fashion statement maker. Watch out Versace and Dior, Jaycee Lynn will soon have a clothing line of her own. My guess is BLING, BLING, and more BLING in her collection. Watch for it in the coming spring. And no, she doesn't give discounts to family or friends!

Updates

Jayden finally had her 12 month check-up (at 21 months, but who's counting). Her are her latest stats on growth:
Height: 32.2 inches (34%)
Weight: 23.4 (21%)
Head circumference: 18.75 (67%)

She did NOT like her shots one bit. They gave her two shots in each arm and she was mortified. She had a slight fever for a few days and slept a lot. We're very glad that is over! Jayden's terrible twos tantrums have officially kicked in. Here's an example of the problems in Jayden's world right now:
She wants a drink of her sister's water, which is in a plastic cup with a straw. I offer to help her get a drink. When she realizes she can't hold the cup, she runs away and throws herself down on the ground, slamming her fists into the floor and screaming/crying the entire time. Oh, the issues of an almost two year old!

Jaycee Lynn has been enjoying her school days. This is a school photo from a few months ago. We can't believe how big she is getting. Her feet are HUGE! We also got an opportunity to take her to a Beauty and the Beast play in August. She (and her sister) loved it. They sat through the entire play and thought it was magical, even though the actors were kiddos and the theater was just a small one.

We went in for our last ultrasound Friday to measure Baby Boy. The doctor thought he was measuring a bit big, but everything came in right on target. He is currently 5lbs. 10oz. and the tech is guessing he'll be somewhere in the 8lb. range like Jayden was. We only have five short weeks to go before he arrives! Time is really starting to fly by now. I have one more week of work, then I'll be out until the new year. I can't wait! :)

Baby Boy Becerra

We went to have a 3D ultrasound done last week. We've had the 3D ultrasound done before with each baby, so we kept the tradition going. It's so much easier to see in person with the live feed, but these pics give the gist. . . He looks very much so like our other kiddos, especially Jayden!



I like this pic because you can see him with his fingers and hand in front of his face.

And this one because he's already smiling. . .

And this one gives you a pretty good indication on at least one side of his face. Between him moving so much and laying on top of the placenta like a pillow, most of the pics have some blurriness to them. We're on a fast countdown now though. . . He'll be here in six short weeks!
