21 months

Hi George!

I missed writing your 20 month post (we were in Hawaii), but I'm back and have so much to tell you about these past 2 months.

You are becoming such a strong willed, determined little guy.  To a fault at times, but as a strong personality myself, I (mostly) find it endearing and adorable.  When you get set in your ways, there's no chance of re-directing you; what you want is what you're going to get!

Grandpa believes our strong will / stubbornness is a Serbian gene.  I think he's probably right!  Your Great Grandpa Nickinovich and his brothers and sisters (5 in total) were all this way.  At least, at this point, there are only 2 of us  ;)

Here are some fun things that have developed these past two months:

  • You are pointing and naming everything.  If you don't know the name, you usually just say "dat!"
  • You weaned last month (20 months).  One day you just decided you were too big for that now :)
  • You love PJ's.  I have to pry them off you most days, and even then, you come running to me with them in hand, so eager to put them back on.  
  • You prefer being naked over diapers any day.  We keep a close eye on you!  (and our furniture, bed, carpet...)
  • You are climbing out of your pack and play now.  Hopefully climbing out of your crib is still a ways off
  • Riding on Dad's head during walks is one of your favorite things to do.  It's also a favorite of Abigail's as well, so 9 times out of 10, I'm put to work :/
  • Ever still the Curious George fanatic, you now prefer the movies over episodes.  Unfortunately there are only about 5 movies... they're the soundtrack to our life!
  • When you have a dirty diaper you pull on it and say "puh-puh"  :)
  • You also say "dia-puh" for diaper.  (both are pretty adorable!)
  • Even in the warm weather we've been having, you insist on wearing a coat everywhere 
  • The backpack in the picture below is quickly becoming a requirement as well  :)
  • Ice cream hurts yours teeth, so while you love the flavor, it's not a go-to treat for you
  • Your cuddles have become so much more endearing and meaningful.  They aren't given cheaply, but they're the best!

This summer already seems to be flying by, and in a mere 3 months, you'll be TWO!  Ahhh.  Seriously, where does the time go.

I love you, GG Boy.

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...
