Finding the perfect pumpkin...

This past weekend we got to spend some much needed time with the McNeely grandparents. They had met Leighton earlier in the week but decided they didn't get enough time together with the kiddos. We don't get to see them nearly enough, so when we do it's a real treat. On Saturday we took Leighton and Landon to a local church who had a pumpkin patch. This was quite exciting for Landon and he proceeded to help select the perfect pumpkin. He even picked out a pumpkin just his size. We can't wait to dress up the kids and take them around the neighborhood for the first time. Landon will be Tigger and Leighton will be in a Halloween themed onesie.

Today I took Landon for a haircut and he did awesome. The past few times he has cried nearly the entire time. Today he sat on my lap like a big boy and just watched all the action and actually seemed to be enjoying it. I sat there thinking how big he is getting and wishing time would slow down a little. Just like all of DFW and Texas, Ranger fever has hit the Tetzlaff household. Over the weekend we went and bought some new Ranger gear and Landon even has some Ranger pajamas. Nobody wants to talk about the Cowboys(which is a nice change)and the city is abuzz about Game 1 tomorrow evening. The normal tickets we buy during the season are now selling for between $650-950 per ticket. Enjoy all the new pictures and we are very excited for Halloween. That reminds me, I have to carve our pumpkin tomorrow!

Happy Halloween & Go Rangers!!!

Leighton Update...

It's hard to believe that Leighton is already 11 days old. She is doing wonderful and continues to eat and sleep well. She goes back to the pediatrician on Thursday for a weight check. We are having a photography session tomorrow at the house for Leighton and cannot wait to see how cute she looks. She is so small that most of the clothes we have were 0-3 months and were way to big for her. So we had to go shopping and get all newborn clothing and they are still a little big. Be parents of two kiddos is really enjoyable and Leighton has been a great baby. Mom is having more success breastfeeding this time and Brooke is already wanting to start working out. P90X here we come! Attached are a few pictures of Leighton and a few of Brooke's fellow coworkers (Autumn, Araceli, Jay).

Love,
The Tetzlaff's

It's a girl...

On Friday October 15th, 2010 at 8:57am we welcomed to the world a healthy baby girl. She weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. and measured in at 19.25 inches. When we found out how much she weighed, we proceeded to ask where was the rest of her. Both of us expected a much bigger baby similar to Landon. We had decided on the name a long time ago Leighton Elaine. Brooke had a great delivery and had to push less than 15 minutes. Leighton was born with significant baby acne but it managed to clear itself up shortly after heading home. Our biggest concern about baby #2 was actually Landon's reaction to her. He is a great big brother and is all about his baby sister. He has been so gentle and careful with the baby and has shown her so much attention. He is always waving at her to say hello, petting her like a dog, and when she sleeps in the boppy he lays his head right next to hers. Every morning when he gets downstairs he goes right to the baby to see her. When we are holding her he brings us her blanket, thinking we need to cover her up more. Brooke and I already are getting cabin fever and hope to get outside shortly. Brooke's milk came in two days ago and Leighton has been feeding well. Brooke and I again feel like we hit the "baby jackpot" and have been blessed with two wonderful gifts! Keep checking back at the blog frequently for new pictures in the coming days/weeks.

GO RANGERS!!
