Two Cool!

WAY back in January, when we found out we were pregnant (and realized our due date!), I started planning George's birthday party.

True story!

Little did I think I'd end up with boys a day apart, but alas, The Universe wanted to keep me on my toes  ;)

So back in the wee months of the year, I decided I would plan George's party a few weeks after the actual date; to factor in going over my due date (which I always have) and a few days to rest and recover before jumping into party mode (which worked out perfectly).

We invited The Bubbleman to the party and George was over the moon!  He was front and center from the very beginning to the bitter end - requesting an encore even as The Bubbleman tried to pack up  :)

And his cake!  Apparently George's love of sheet cake (and keeping it to himself!) run deeps.  Per Auntie's suggestion, we'll be doing cupcakes next year.  George was NOT interested in sharing "his" 1/4 sheet cake.  Not. One. Bit.

;)

Thanks to everyone who stayed late to clean up (while I relaxed in the family room, nursing a newborn and visiting with good friends- maybe babies are the key to getting loads of party help!) and those who brought side dishes and treats.

The day was great and I know George had an amazing time!

Here are pictures from the day:

G woke up from nap to a party already started, but his warm up was quick and after an outfit change and some hair gel, he was ready to par-tay  :)

Abigail offering her guest Danielle a choice of water or juice.  That evening, while putting Abigail to bed, I asked her what her favorite part of the day was "Getting juice for my friend"  :)  What a great hostess in the making!  Ha!

With two Great Uncles and a "great" Gpa  :)

Abigail showed Danielle all around the house, even swinging her by for an introduction to "my baby"

Gathering for The Bubbleman

George didn't hesitate to get right up in the action!

Abigail thought The Bubbleman was hilarious!
Apparently Papa did, too  ;)

The umbrella act (and the part where he hits himself on the head) is both George and Abigail's favorite part of the whole act!

Bubble time!


Abigail gets in on the action!

That DIMPLE!  I die.

Buds!

Mamie and the Birthday Boy!

George's choo-choo cake

Adorably excited  :)

George decided the cake was all his.  It was hard to cut the cake without him yelling at us, so once we were done dishing everyone, we let him have the rest  :)  Even so, he was NOT going to share with Sissy!





Kevin's second time this year as gift opening referee ;)

We had such a fun day celebrating our little man and getting the chance to visit with many close family and friends!

Happy 2nd birthday, George.

We love you more than you love choo-choos....if you can believe it!

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...

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...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
