18 months old...

and already driving:)

David turned 18 months last Sunday. He had his check-up this week and weighs 29 lbs 0.5 oz. He is 34 3/4 inches long and his head circumference is 19 3/4 inches. He says over 20 words and is talking more and more each day. He is still in the 97th percentile for height and 85th for weight. The doctor is so excited to see just how tall he is going to be and so are we! He is growing so fast and is so curious and into everything! He has even learned to tease Kimmie, which is his new favorite thing to do. But those two love each other so much, it is adorable!!!

August 4, 2011

We will become a family of 5!!

We found out on Seth's birthday (Nov. 24th) that we are expecting baby #3:) This ultrasound was taken yesterday and they said I am 6 weeks along, making my due date August 4, 2011! We were even able to see the heartbeat, a strong 120 BPM. I am feeling great and we are all so excited. Kimmie keeps telling everyone she has a baby sister in her belly and that mommy has a baby brother in her belly. It's so cute!

And just so we are all aware, there is only one baby in there. That other spec you see is the yolk sac.

I am thankful for...

These two smiling faces are the BEST!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have so much to be thankful for (mostly that no one got sick from my cooking!) I made all of the Thanksgiving dinner this year and tried a new recipe for the turkey from my friend Shanan's blog. I also used her recipe for cranberry sauce and pumpkin cheesecake. It was all delicious!! You should definitely check out her recipes, they are super easy and always yummy!!

The day before Thanksgiving was Seth's birthday. I made him German pancakes for breakfast (my first time ever and I am pretty proud of how they turned out!) Seth had to go to work for a bit, but after that we went to dinner with the kids and just spent the night hanging out as a family. It was so much fun! Happy Birthday babe, we love you SO MUCH!!!!!

Snow day...

School was canceled because of snow...

Can you believe that??? Well, actually they canceled school because of snow/ice on the roads. But still, isn't Oregon crazy, they can't handle even the littlest amount of snow. I sure hope everyone else is enjoying their "snow day!"

Dancing fools...

The kids love dancing and David has learned some new moves that keep us entertained. Here is a video from last night while they were watching Sleeping Beauty. Sorry about the quality, it was taken on our phone. (be sure to check out the post before this one too!)

our newest addition...

We got new couches! I have never had new couches before. Our old ones were hand-me-downs from my cousin years ago and they got lots of good use, but it was time to retire them. I have been eyeing a leather couch set for almost a year now and when they went on sale I had to get them! I even had an additional 10% off coupon, what a deal! Here are some pictures (Please ignore the mess in the background!)
