Football Season is Here

Jayden went to his first Tornadoes game over the weekend and they won! He also got new jammies so that means a photo shoot with Mom!

Funny little man!

Illinois State Fair 2009

On August 23, Jayden and I headed to Springfield to the Illinois State Fair. Uncle Mike was in a weight lifting competition and I had never been so I thought it would be interesting to see. Well, in fact, it was! Uncle Mike won his group. He benched 575 lbs. So I guess when we need something big moved, we know who to call! Congrats, Uncle Mike!! After that, we headed to the rides to watch Reagan, Adan, and Livia show off their braveness.

Jayden did not really watch too much of the weight lifting or the kids riding the rides. He pretty much spend the day sleeping. I guess that is what you do when you are one month old!

Jayden's Little Friends

Jayden has had some visitors in the past few weeks. Below is a picture of Jayden and Lauren. Lauren is a little bit older than Jayden, she was born in May. She is such a doll!

Here is a picture of Jayden and Kenlee. Kenlee is only 3 days younger than Jayden. They were really close in size when they were born. It is going to be fun to watch them grow! We can't wait to see them again. Kenlee is so cute!

4 weeks old!

Baby Jayden went to the doctor for his 1 month checkup. He weighs 10 lbs. 1 oz. and is 21 3/4 inches long. Our little baby is getting big fast! Almost all of his newborn clothes are packed up and he is on to 3 month jammies and clothes! He is looking more like a little man each day!

Our Trip to Mt. Carmel

On August 15 we headed down to Mt. Carmel to visit Aaron's family. Everyone loved Jayden and he was a really good baby. He got spoiled with a lot of kisses and gifts! Jayden slept the three hours down and only cried a few times on the way home. Here is a picture of the four generations of Acree's.

Daddy and Jayden at home--4 weeks old!

Baby Jayden is 3 weeks old!

Baby Jayden is 3 weeks old! The past three weeks have flown by so fast and I am sure it will continue. Jayden got new jammies from his Papa and they were too cute so I had to have a photo shoot with him! Poor kid is doomed for the rest of his life when I have a camera in my hand! Jayden just chillin in his bouncy seat from Aunt Kim, Uncle John and the boys!

He is already a Cubs fan...he doesn't know it yet, but he doesn't have a choice!

Newborn Pictures

Last week, Jayden had his newborn pictures taken. My cousin Amy bought us a newborn package with a local photographer, Kim Jones. Kim came to our house and caught a few good pictures of Jayden. You can see them at: www.photographybykimjones.com and then click on Photo Galleries, Your Proofs, Jayden.

After she left he was sleeping so I placed him on the laundry basket in our bathroom and caught this snapshot of him. I did a little editing to it afterwards. Wal-Mart made me sign a copywrite release and show them the picture on my camera because they thought I copied it!

My Sweet Baby Boy

Jayden loves to be held, snuggle, and loves to sleep! Here are just a few pictures of his daily life!

Isn't this the truth!

Jayden's First Dr. Appt

When Jayden was a week old he went to his first doctor appointment in Springfield. He weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and Dr. Murray said he is perfect! We go back when he is 4 weeks old for a well baby check. After the doctor we headed to Babies R Us and the mall. Jayden did so great on his first outing!

This is us before we left for our first trip to Springfield! He was a good car rider--thank gosh!
