15 Month Well Check

Torin is still growing right on track for his age. His stats at his appointment on Monday were: Height - 30.5 inches - 45%ile
Weight - 25lbs 2 oz - 75%ile
Head Circumference - 19 1/2 inches - 95%ile

His newest things are signing 'please' whenever he wants anything, blowing kisses to everyone, and saying 'ha' for hot and blowing on all of his food before he eats it. He's also busy climbing on everything, tossing things in the toilet and flushing it, and hiding the tv remotes in random places. He's a busy boy all right!

Torin Announces...

That he is going to be the big brother to TWINS! Below are the babies together in the picture.

I apologize for how small the pictures are. I couldn't get them scanned in any better. Top photo below is Baby A and bottom photo below is Baby B.

Both babies look great and have heartbeats in the 160's. They are measuring right on track at this point. I am 8 weeks 4 days along today and feeling absolutely terrible unfortunately. I have nausea ALL DAY LONG, but thankfully the doctor has prescribed some meds to help with that. I'm hoping I start to feel better as this first trimester winds down. We have another ultrasound and appointment at 12 weeks.

Meeting Up With Blog Friends

As many already know, I joined a fertility blog a few years back when we were trying to conceive Torin. This past weekend we were able to meet up in Elkhart, IN. for Maria's baby shower. She is having twins this coming winter.
From Left to Right: Me (from Denver), Kim (from Albuquerque), Maria (guest of honor, Elkhart), Cindy (Chicago), and Wendy (Baltimore). There are many more of us, but some couldn't make the trip. It was wonderful to finally meet up and have our little ones play together.

Kaitlyn (Cindy's daughter, 18 months) and Torin playing with Bella the dog. Torin tormented Bella just as he does Cooper. Thankfully Bella is just as tame as Cooper is.

The Park...After the Snow Storm

The week after our big snow storm we were back to gorgeous Colorado weather. We hit the park for some fun.
Brrrooom, Brooommmm.

The swings are still a favorite for T.

Where does that curly hair come from? How about those pinch-able cheeks? Here is a picture of Torin at 14 months (top pic) and his Grandpa Bartmann (bottom pic)at 18 months. Do you see the resemblance?
Besides Torin having the dark brown eye color like his Daddy does (which comes from the Knox side), we think he is definitely looking like a Bartmann.

Trick-or-Treat

We had a great time last night going out and about for Halloween. We also had multiple trick-or-treaters stop by our house for candy.
This little puppy is the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

Tracey took a family picture for us.

Torin and his Daddy.

He even got on all fours to show how a doggy walks :)

Where are we going now, Mom?

Well, Chipotle was having their annual wrap yourself in tin foil like a burrito and get a free burrito night, so Sean, Tracey, Paul, Torin and I all decided to check it out. Yes, everyone wrapped up in tin foil.

And, yes, we all got free burritos. 9 of them in fact! Halloween 2009 was awesome! We can't wait until next year when Torin fully understands what it means.
