2 videos!

His Dance move- he does this all the time. We named it the one-step-shuffle and now if you ask him for it by name, he will bust a move!





Watching basketball. Pay attention to how the trombones go up and down then side to side and watch his arm as he watches.

OOPS! Skipped a week so this is LONG & picture heavy

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!


I just realized I missed posting last week- oops! Not that we have a lot going on right now or anything ;)

Biggest News- ERIC MADE PARTNER!!!!!!! Congrats to him- I know we are so proud of him and happy all his hard work paid off.
He found out on Valentine's Day- they asked him to hang around and he knew they were meeting. We didn't have any big plans anyway, just a nice homemade dinner (lambchops!) so it worked out well.
We did however have a babysitter last night so that a group of 10 of our friends could go out and toast Eric's accomplishment. It was so much fun- so nice to get out in a group, and who knows how long it will be until we get to do so again with 2 rugrats to worry about.

A few more pictures of my little valentine :) Would you believe I bought this shirt for him for last year and it was ummm, just a little big. European sizing... sheesh.



Mid Dance!



Squeaks updates. 5 days until the due date!!! All is looking well- I have been going in 3 times a week for dr's appts. 1 time is just the normal OB appt- this usually consists of weight, pee in a cup, blood pressure, listen to the heartbeat, any questions- and a swift goodbye. Now that we are so close they also check progress. Unfortunately Tuesday's news was not much progress- baby is still high, but I am already 2cm dilated (which sounds exciting but means nothing as far as when things will get rolling- especially since this is my 2nd kiddo).
The other 2 appts are a Non-Stress-Test to make sure the kiddo is thriving. These are usually accompanied by ultrasounds to check my fluid. Fluid has been fine.
We had a growth ultrasound Friday 2/11. Squeaks was measuring in at 7lbs even- 45%ile. So we shall see.
How am I? I feel antsy and kind of like garbage. In the past day and a half I vomited 4 times and just am exhausted. I must say though, the weather has been gorgeous and getting out and walking has been great for Brooks and I. I feel like split personality- half of me is miserable and antsy, yet the other part is in shock and disbelief that all this is happening like now.
Here is the belly as of today- 39 weeks 2 days, 5 days to go






Brooks updates-
He is doing great. He is adding more words to his vocab and trying harder to stay stuff. He is hysterically funny. He runs hands in his hair to show us hair washing, he runs laps upstairs as we fill his bath, he fake laughs with us if he hears us laughing, he will kiss, hug, and rock his baby doll when asked, he hugs us and squeals eeeee when doing so b/c that is what I do to him. This age is just so much fun.

Pictures from the past 2 weeks!

B loves playing with fruit- not necessarily eating it, but carrying it around. When he is ready he will bring it to us to cut (not lemons- apples, avacados, oranges, etc).



Waking happy!



Brushing teeth is sooooo much fun!




Bathing beauty!


He LOVES helping Daddy make his outs in the morning (although he refuses to eat them!)




Today we went to a place called The Little Tree House- it is an all natural indoor play area. All wooden toys, kids run around- tons of fun. Brooks had a BLAST! He was a crazy man running and playing. I am so happy we took him and had a nice family day on what may be our last weekend as a family of 3.




Someone thought it was HYSTERICAL to show us his food at lunch



All Done!



The degree to which these boys love each other and laugh is obscene- I love it!





Our little construction guy

The Countdown is on!!!

Baby #2 is officially baked to full term- Due in just 17 days!!!

37 week picture

It has been pretty eventful- this kiddo is grounded in utero. S/he keeps flipping around in there, breech and back, since there is so much fluid making a swimming pool. S/he's een headown for a week now- so hopefully s/he is staying put! I am going to the dr 3x a week now for monitoring the fluid and such, plus the chiropractor to try to help keep baby in the right direction. I can't believe this is happening so soon!

Brooks is doing well- he is a bit sick this weekend. It came on hard and fast, but he already seems to be on the mend.



Little trouble maker now climbs and stands on the coffee table

Loves his Xmas gift from his Poppop Jim & Grandma Sue- he likes to ride it and loves the songs



We had a rough patch of sleeping- maybe this sickness caused it. I finally got him to sleep on his big boy bed :)







We went to the auto show last weekend to shop for a new ride- here are my boys driving an escalade. Far cry from the minivan we are probably going to end up with.





After the auto show we had lunch at Reading Terminal- B loved how Daddy fed him with chopsticks



My serious boy climbed up to send an email and read some books





Lounging on Ming


Lounging on Squeaks




His favorite game- peekaboo. He hides, and then peeks out to watch you look for him all over. He thinks it is hysterical to watch us look under the bed, in the trash, under a blanket, etc





A very very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRIFFIN! i cannot believe Uncle G is 18!!! We went up to NJ to celebrate with lunch at Benihana. B LOVED it- he ate so much and he was enthralled by the hibachi antics, especially the egg throwing






And he loved the brownie he had for dessert


This was the day he started not feeling well- and by the time we were leaving and I tried to get a picture of him with the birthday boy he wasn't having it


And bedtime antics- how cute are my men reading together?
