Christiansen Family: September 2012

Whats up?

Well 3 posts in one day sorry!! Just getting all updated while I still have time this morning and while I remember!

What is up with the Christiansen Family lately. We have been staying busy and living life. Tyler is still working a boeing on the Apache line building the Apache helicopter. He loves he job and the experiences he is learning. He has new stories and experences to tell me almost everyweek about something he has learned while at work. He has also applied to BYU for Industral design for the Winter semester which starts in January. We are doing the waiting game to find out. The deadline to let us know is the end of Oct! So we may or may not be moving to Utah depending on BYU! We will keep everyone updated when we find out!

I am still at stay at home mom full time and loving every little bit of it. I love to be home with the kids all day and to see the kids grow and learn. I returned to work when Ashley was 6 weeks old and worked until about a year ago. I realized that it like starting over with Jameson because I was not home with Ashley sometimes I feel like a first time mom in some ways. Tyler works afternoons and loves that he can be home with us during the day and enjoy the day with us. Sometimes I miss him being home for diner and spending time with him after the kids go to bed but it works out him being home during the day. I am also going to school full time all online which I do when I can. I don't have a ton of work due everyweek which is nice. I have nap times, after kids go to bed and weekends when Tyler is home more to do my homework! I enjoy going to school and get closer and closer to being done.

Ashley who is 3 now is going to a preschool group now. We started a pre-school group with 4 other kids that are in our ward and live in our neighborhood. We trade houses everyweek and have all 5 kids at our house everythursday for 2 1/2 hours. She loves it and looks forward to it every week. She loves her friends and loves to be able to spend time with them outside of church.

Jameson still has lots of doctors and nurses visits to keep checking to make sure he is growing as he is supposed to. He will have another phyical Theapy check up in a couple of weeks to make sure his musacles are doing good. Then in Nov the nurse comes to visit again at our house to check his development then he will see his neuro doctor again to follow-up again on his brain, and of course his 6 month check up will also be in nov. So far he has proven the doctors wrong and shown them that everything they said would happen and he would have problems with has not happened yet. The doctors visits are so we can keep up on everything to make sure to catch it early.

All in all we are crazy as ever and enjoying life together! Can't wait for Tyler sister Lisa to have her baby and my sister in law Krystal to also have her baby! Both due in the next couple of weeks!

2 other post from today - Ashley 3 yrs old and Jameson 4 months old stroll down

4 months old

Jameson was 4 months old on the 10th of Sept! I know I am a little late on this months posts. Jameson is such a fun happy little boy and i love to spend my day seeing his smiling face. When I say a good boy I really do mean it. He hardly ever crys and loves to play on his mat on the floor or with his sister. He will smile and talk to you and is almost always in a happy mood. The only time he crys is when he is tried and wants to take a nap other in that he is always smiling. He is growing and continuing to show the doctors that everything he went through at birth. He is continuing to amazing all of us. He has been roling over both ways for about a month now and he loves to roll to get to a new area. He will never be in the same place on the floor after a few mins. He loves his sister and laughs at her often.

4months apt was on the 12th of Sept

Jameson weights 12lbs 14oz --15%
Height 26in---85%
As the doctor put it Jameson is long and skinny! But he is growing good! So thankful for my little miracle baby.

He loves his sister! Watching cartoons!

3 yrs old

Ashley turned 3 years old on Sept 5!! Can't believe my little girl is 3!! She is so fun and crazy all at the same time and I don' t know what we will do without her!

Since her b-day was on a wed and we were doing a b-day party over the weekend we decided to fill her room with ballons the night before while she was sleep so when she woke up for her b-day she would see them. Tyler and I blew up something like 20-30 ballons and filled her room. When she woke up she walked right past them even kicking them and went to open her door. I was standing at her door to see her reaction. She then stopped looked back and turned looked at me and again turned around and got excited yelling mommy there are ballons in my room! It was so cute!
