nine months

Bey Bey!  You're getting so big!



I'm absolutely loving everything about you right now, and it seems like the past couple weeks have brought so much growth.  You are such a social, curious baby.  You love watching people, mimicking their actions (you just started waving this week), and boy can you eat!

Here are some fun things you're up to:

  • You're teething on everything and have cut both top and bottom teeth, as well as both K9's (yes, K9s- ha!)
  • 9 month baby stats: 28.75" (65%) and 17lbs, 1.5oz (9%)
  • You're crawling (off your tummy) everywhere and pulling up on EVERYTHING!
  • You love laughing and being tickled
  • You can't stay put during a diaper change to save your life
  • You love eating any food you feed yourself.  Favs: cheerios, pizza crust (or any bread), yogurt dots, avocado, ground beef, and watermelon
  • You're finally sleeping un-swaddled (I thought the day would never come), but lovin' on your paci now more than ever (I think it's the teeth)
  • You started waving this past weekend.  It's ridiculously cute.
  • If we're spoon feeding you and ignore you for just a moment, you scream to remind us you're still there and hungry

You are such a happy, engaged baby.  I think a lot of your personality is built into your birth order: yelling to get attention, engaging with everyone, and super social.    You're so much fun.

You make me smile every single day, Bey, and I love being your Mommy.

Happy 9 months, baby 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...

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...
