Talia's Echo

***Warning - MOM - there are lake pictures on here, although we are walking, not riding the 4-wheeler.***

Talia is 2 months old now (I can't believe it!), so she had a repeat echo to check on her heart murmur and defective pulmonary valve (pulmonary stenosis).  She still has the defective valve, but it's not as bad as it was before, and the hole between the atria isn't as bad either.  We had a long appointment with the pediatric cardiologist afterwards who said he didn't need to see her again until she's 1 since everything looked so good.  That's a relief!
Her new favorite trick is sitting up.  Not by herself, but if you help her pull up from laying down, or if she's leaning back on the couch (like in the below picture), she'll try to sit up (and fall over).  :)


Kendall thought it would be nice to feed her baby while I was feeding Talia so I wasn't alone.


Sunday we decided to check out the progress at the new house and play in the snow a bit.  Here's Kendall trying to pull Brett in the sled in the middle of our super-muddy backyard.  Fun!


Heading down to the ice!


New favorite thing to do: eat snow.  Yes, we try to check the color beforehand...



Talia was nice and snuggly warm in the carrier.


Ice skating with Daddy!



Snow angels!



Her gloves got a bit wet after playing a while, so she borrowed Daddy's.


Here's the house from the lake.  The red arrow is pointing at the truck in the driveway, and the blue arrow is pointing at the stairs down to the lake (there are only about 7!!!).  The door in the pink area goes into the spancrete storage (under the garage).  From this view it looks like we won't have a backyard, but there really is quite a bit of room between the house and the lake.  It just happens to be a big mud pit right now.  Hopefully things will move along quickly now and we'll actually make the June completion!

  1. Great pics! Is Sue paranoid about the kids being on the ice?

  2. Haha, yep! She said these aren't so bad, but the 4-wheeler ones almost made her throw up.
    It took me awhile to get used to it too.
