fourteen months

Well hello there, little man.  It's been forever since I've blogged about you (life was so busy last month that I gave myself a break and skipped your 13 month post), but I'm back to share everything new about our Benny Boy!

You're walking everywhere these days, and getting into everything.  And, while your sister reigns supreme as the family antagonist, you're quickly securing the spot of family bully (I swear you know EXACTLY how to make George mad and delight in these antics daily).

A smart, aggressive little cookie, you are.

Here's what's new since you turned one:

  • We're slowly transitioning to one nap, which leaves you tired in the afternoon and usually down for the night by 5:45-6pm
  • You weaned last month, which makes you the youngest one to do so, but I'm embracing the autonomy and freedom this allows (I've been pregnant, nursing, or both for almost 6 years, so I was ready too!)
  • You're walking everywhere and trying to run.  You took your first steps a week before Halloween, and now you're off to the races.
  • You get into everything if I don't keep an eye on you.  This includes toilet bowls, the dishwasher, the dryer...it's exhausting
  • You're still wearing 12 month clothes, but any day now I'll be folding those away for 18 month gear.
  • You wave bye, love the cat, say "uh-oh!", love playing the head tilt game while sitting at the table with everyone, and are still eagerly awaiting you chance to join in play with A and G (soon enough, little man)

Today we're leaving for Thanksgiving weekend to spend time with family in Leavenworth.  Gma, Gpa, Mamie, Papa, Uncle Victor, Catherine, Archie, and Uncle Bob will be there to celebrate with us.  It should be a great time!

Happy 14 months, baby boy.  You are loved beyond measure.

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...
