13 months

Blogging hasn't been my strong suit this year.

The move, a backed-up computer (with thousands of pictures slowing it down), and life in general has kept me away, but I'm ready to be back, and what better way than with a 13 month George post  ;)



So here we are, Sir George!

It's been a month since my last post (which just so happened to be about you!) and a month into your second year.

You are an adventurous little boy; never shying away from climbing, exploring, or the chance to try new things. You love going down the slide at the park, climbing into Sissy's chair at the dinner table, and crawling across said table.

You love to be awake, and while I know you enjoy a good nap, you've been fighting them.  Right now you are banging on your wall, but soon you'll be dreaming away and will wake refreshed and happy in a few hours.

Yes, two naps are still essential.

For both of us :)

Here are your Fun Facts this month:

  • You've started saying "ba" when waving goodbye
  • When going to get Sissy after nap (she usually calls for me instead of coming out of her room), you squeal with anticipated delight as we walk down the hall to her room.
  • You love riding in the stroller and will climb into your seat when you're ready to go
  • You're wearing 18 month clothes
  • Shoe size still the same (5 1/2), for now  :)
  • You love your Curious George book.  Books keep you busy in the car
  • Still waking to nurse around 4am, but otherwise sleeping from 6:30p-7a
  • 12 month stats: 30.5" (74%), 20lbs, 13oz (40%)
  • Every morning you eat a banana with a sippy of milk.  It's your breakfast appetizer, and if I wait too long to bring it to you, you point desperately at the counter (where the bananas are kept)
  • You're always standing up in the bath.  Maybe you're more of a shower guy  :)
  • You LOVE babies and it's so fun to see what a big boy you are around them; cooing and making them laugh.  You and Sissy are both enamored with babies right now (little ones get mauled with affection when the two of you are around!)

I love our days together.  With Abigail at school M/W/F mornings, you and I get a lot of time together.  Having that special time alone with you (as I did with Abigail for two years), is something I cherish.

I love you, boyfriend.





(And just for fun, Abigail at 13 months!)

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Cocina Esperanza

Just had to give a shout out to our new restaurant find!  Kevin and I were driving around the Sunset Hill / Blue Ridge neighborhoods last weekend and came upon this little Mexican restaurant.  A very unassuming place...small brick building near the corner of NW 85th & 30th Ave (right next to the north entrance of Golden Garden's and Shilshole Bay Marina).  We finally got around to checking it out late last week, and oh boy, have we been missing out!! Now, any of you who know me, know I'm a self proclaimed Mexican food connoisseur...and by connoisseur, I mean boarder line obsessive.  I love all things Mexican cuisine...especially melted cheese.  So I should admit; their whole "authentic" label had me a bit apprehensive ...."will there be enough melted cheese on my food??"   was sadly my first thought  (hey, I'm pregnant...give a girl a break!)  So, late last week, we wandered in, found a nice table by the window, ordered t...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...
