Monday we took our kids to this museum. We’d heard good things about it but had never been. It was a fantastic place to spend the day.

Blanton Family Christmas

Janna — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 18:28:00 +0000

Every year we try to gather as many from Nathan’s mom’s family as possible together for a Christmas celebration. We had a great turn-out this year, a lot of food, and a lot of fun. They set up tables in the unfinished portion of their basement for the feast and then we relaxed and opened presents in the family room.

3 Months

Janna — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:02:27 +0000

I’m a bit behind but last week Claire turned 3 months old. She is a very happy baby and very easy going for the most part. She is still sleeping 9-10 hours per night and taking great naps during the day but she also has good awake-time where she smiles, looks around, and sucks on her hands (a new discovery). Our visits to Children’s continue as they monitor the progress of her hip development and last week we were surprised and excited to learn that her hip had moved into the ‘normal’ range and so we could begin weaning her out of the harness that she’s worn 24/7 for more than 7 weeks. She is allowed to have it off for 6 hours a day and we will continue to take her for check-ups and hip ultrasounds. The freedom of her leg movement without the harness will take some getting used to for her but she seems excited that it allows us to give her a normal bath. She kicks and smiles anytime we put her in the water. If she gets fussy she can usually be easily calmed by being held while you stand and bounce her a bit. And she likes to coo and ‘talk’ a bit now too.

Levi’s Preschool Christmas Program

So cute! At first Levi really wanted nothing to do with singing or doing motions for his program. With much encouragement that included showing him the videos of Chloe and Luke’s programs from previous years he decided to give it a go. He did a great job!
