Sixteen Months Old

Waiting On Super N

Look at this little munch!
He's so photogenic it just cracks me up.
I realize it's been a long time since i've blogged about life and bebe's. Let's see, i am now 37 weeks pregnant (today actually). The little boy above is now 16 months. He's walking along furniture now and by holding our hands. He also got a walking toy for Christmas from his Aunt Leah, Uncle Bill and cousins Emma, Jadon, Kara, and Ava. He loves his walking toy and can often be found motoring through the house with it. I hope he can somehow pick up the walking thing in the next two weeks since my baby is coming out then.

Oh yes new baby. Super N will arrive at/around Aug 9th/10th that is if she doesn't appear earlier. Which i hope she does choose to appear earlier b/c i'm really uncomfortable and ready to move on to the infant stage and leave pregnancy behind!

At any rate, I'm excited to have a new baby on her way and excited and scared to see how our current 1 year old will adjust.

Until next time...hopefully i will have a new baby to talk about!

Helping Daddy

Helping Daddy install the hardware on the new cabinets! and just generally looking older these days. I sure hope he is walking come August when Super N is born!

Cutey Pie II

Another drowsy stare!
He's looking a lot more like daddy. I wonder if Super N will look like the both of them or will she look more like me?

Cutey Pie

Here's our goofy little boy at 1 year and 3 weeks. He was fighting a cold here so he's looking a bit drowsy and snotty. However, his smile is pretty darn cute!

Spring

Happy Spring!
I love all the beautiful flowers in spring. This is a perennial basket i made yesterday. W of course helped me in the front yard. We were both covered in soil when we were done.

A Crawling W

Two weeks before W turned 1 he started to crawl. This new found freedom has been wonderful for W but a bit stressful for me. I believe at this point W has consumed dog food almost every other day b/c I'm just not quick enough for Quick Crawl Macgraw!

Fortunately, the baby gates we installed recently are now controlling the dog food consumption a bit more! Although when the gates are open and W is on the run you can probably guess he's at the dog bowls playing in the water bowl or picking up handfuls of food.

First Birthday Party

Here is W enjoying his birthday cake at his 1st Birthday Party!

He had a lot of fun and received many wonderful gifts and love from friends and family.

We're having a Baby Girl!

Today we found out that I am carrying Super N. She will arrive at/around Aug 16th of this year.
This pregnancy has gone quite a bit different than my pregnancy with W. To explain, I've had gallbladder problems throughout this pregnancy which has caused me to have to go on a lowfat diet. That honestly has been tough for me! And I have pretty constant pain and indigestion. I was told that I probably will end up in the ER many times over the course of my pregnancy, which is a bit frightening. At this time we have only ended up in there once and hopefully that will be the only time.
Also, I first felt Super N kick at 13 weeks and since then she's not stopped kicking. I didn't feel W kick for the first time until the 24th week of pregnancy. Also, this pregnancy is a bit more exhausting b/c i have a 1 year old to take care of during the day while taking care of the house and running errands.
But overall i'm thankful for my soon-to-be new daughter and my little boy.

The Hub will have a little daughter to stress him out over the next 20 or so years. So this should be fun! :)

Our family Photo

What fun we had taking this back in December! I took about 2 hours and we laughed so much. If we got W looking at the camera, Salvadore would have his eyes closed. If we got Salvadore and W looking at the camera, the Hub would look deranged! If they all three were looking at the camera my eyes would be closed! It was fun! And we got a great picture out of it.

Baby Girl or Baby Boy?

This is the first ultrasound of our soon-to-be new baby. We are due on August 17, 2006. We are excited to find out the sex of the baby and we hopefully will in about 4-6 weeks! Will W have a little sister or a little brother?
I think it will be a girl and the Hub thinks it will be a boy!
We can't wait to know.

Being smiley and cute Jan 2006

On the way to Seattle on the plane...

He was so good on the planes! We are on our way from Dallas to Seattle. What a good kid he was on the plane! Someone was gracious and moved so that he could have his very own big boy seat to which he enjoyed!

This little boy has a cold but you wouldn't know by how good he was!

What an eventful trip! It did rain the whole time while in Seattle, actually a record was set because it rained so many days in a row. We just think that's hilarious that we were there when a record like that was set! Fortunately, we love it when it rains. And although we didn't see any mountains because of the weather, we still really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to going back, maybe to enjoy another season the next time!

Tales of the smiley baby.

I think i have a smiley baby. You know the kind of baby who smiles all the time and loves to crack up. My baby lights up my day, especially when i can get him to crack up at the most basic things. But to him they are the funniest things he's literally ever seen with his 8 month old eyes.

This baby is truly a ham and i swear he'll have you rollin in your seat if you meet him. Just ask his grandma and grandpa or his daddy. I love this little boy and the funny sense of humor that God has given him. I can't wait to have conversations with him to see what kind of things he thinks about. Thanks God for my silly kid!
