Our Baby Girl!

Well, you have it right.  It's a GIRL!  I know we have all heard that one before, but this time I really feel it is true.  That is what I have thought all along and the gal that did the ultrasound said she would write it in stone.  She was really knowledgeable and I trust that she is right.  I am THRILLED!  I really didn't care whether it was a boy or girl, I just wanted a healthy baby.  But what great fun to have a baby girl and get to raise both boys and girls.  Everything in the ultrasound looks great and she is measuring perfect.  Now I just need to keep her nice and warm until April.  I feel great and am enjoying being pregnant.  I love having a big pregnant belly.  I am really feeling her move a lot now, she still is a roller instead of a kicker, which is very different from my boys.  We have a list of names we like but just haven't decided on the perfect one yet.  

We just call her baby sissy now.  Now for some bow shopping!

Happy 2nd Birthday

Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet Baby Lane!  I really don't understand how my baby turned 2 already.  I know I say that a lot, but seriously, time is flying right by.  Some days I wish I could freeze time to soak them up, but other days I love to soak in the growth.  Lane is talking so much more and says the cutest things.  Although sometimes you can barely understand him, he usually finds a way to get his point across.  If not he takes you to what he wants.  I really can't get enough.  I love that he wants us to show him everything, especially in the kitchen.  He will always find a chair to stand on to see what is going on... or just climb on the counter.  He loves riding his scooter, and is dang good at it, any thing outdoors, pretend food, and bombing things off our loft balcony.  

We love you Lane!  Happy Birthday!

Here is our attempt at getting a family birthday picture after blowing out the candles.  This is not an easy task.

Glue

Let me tell you about Lane's new favorite thing to do. Glue! He loves it. Today we spent some one on one time gluing things (feathers, beads, paper, foam) to construction paper, well, and the table, chair, PJ's, and his hands also. Thank goodness it is washable. Just look at he grin on his face. Ya we wasted a lot of glue and there are puddles of it that still haven't dried 12 hours later. But man did he have a good time and it is worth it just to see that little smile.

This is almost the final masterpiece. Check out those puddles!
