twenty one months

This month has been ALL about words - you are talking up a storm!

Last month you really enjoyed repeating what Sis or G would ask you to say, but this month you've taken off and new words are sprouting up almost daily.

Here are some of the fun things you're saying:

  • Ah-La-La = Banana (and you stick your tongue out with each L)
  • Allah = buba / pacifier 
  • Beh-ewh = bless you (after anyone sneezes or coughs)
  • You ask where people are;  I get "where Dada?" about 13 times a weekday
  • Mamie got you to say "Mamie" last weekend, and now you ask for her most every morning "where Mamie?" (you started saying Papa this month too)
  • Ah-wa = water
  • Ew-til! = you're silly!  (that's my fav)
  • E-ew-ah-er = see you later
  • Go! Go! GO! (you shout when I'm at red lights. ha!)

This month I've also noticed you really starting to think of yourself as one of the big kids.  Tonight I was putting on a movie for Abigail and George while I put you down and instead of saying your usual "bye Tis, bye DD" you pulled away from me, ran over to the couch, plopped yourself between them, pulled up a blankie, and settled in to watch the flick, all with a HUGE smile on your face.

Babies get away with everything!

This coming month should be full of fun.  Summer is in full swing (we're currently up in Leavenworth for a week), we've got friends coming this weekend, camp starts for Sis next week, the 4th of July is coming up, then Dad and I are going to Croatia for the latter part of July - there is a lot to look forward to for all of us!

I love you, Benny Boy.  xox

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

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...

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...
