seventeen months

Well little man, you're now a month shy of one and a half and the busiest little guy I known.



In keeping with tradition at 17 months, here are 17 reasons why you are awesome:


1) you know how to SLEEP - from 5:30pm-7/7:30am every night!

2) You have an amazing sense of humor and love to laugh

3) Brooms and vacuums are your favorite things to play with

4) You can carry a tune and love singing Ba Ba Black Sheep, and Happy Birthday (baby singing, no real words)

5) Dad's your favorite dude.  You've made his world complete with this revelation

6) You also seem keen to golf.  If this stick, you may end up as Dad's favorite dude (just kidding, G!!)

7) Pretending like you're leaving is so funny to you "bye bye, guys!"

8) You're my only kid who actually puts on their shoes and coat when I ask

9) You are seemingly fearless - you love slides!

10) You always want to be held and will often refuse to put your feet on the floor if we try putting you down

11) You are fascinated by how things work: the coffee maker, light switches, the blender, assembling bottles, flushing toilets, turning on faucets, and opening / closing doors are among your favorite mechanics. (have I mentioned how busy you are??)

12) You cuddle Hattie and Abigail every chance you get

13) Even though you never succeed, you continually try walking down steps

14) You have boundless energy and love the chasing games Dad plays with you and the big kids

15) You know how to smile for a camera, which is pretty hilarious

16) You usually insist on brushing your own teeth

and finally, the last and most important reason you're so awesome....

17) I get to call you mine, all mine!!





I love you more than words, Bey.

Happy 17 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...
