Getting ready for bed

Felix was exploding with new words tonight - magnet, oink, butter. He's getting so verbal and changing practically every day. Here he is saying the number 2 after I said 1. He also says poo poo anytime someone farts which cracks me up.

Over half of our readers that participated in the gender poll thought the second one would be a girl; well, the picture says it all!

Gender

The ultrasound went well and all the standard parts are working fine. The variable parts will be revealed at the "Sex Party," tomorrow. For now they are sealed away in this envelope! Cast your vote on what you think it will be in the right hand column.

And some heart beats...

Baby, baby, baby, hey!

Felix, like anyone with ears, can't stop his hips from shaking when James Brown is playing. Today he gave props to the hardest working man by falling down several times while making it funky! It all happened so fast, and crippled me with laughter, that I couldn't get a video. Maybe next time.

Daddy daycare

Felix and I had the pleasure of hosting a playdate with Lincoln and Zoë this morning. Fortunately Zoë's dad, JJ was there to at least cover zone. Here is a picture of the dog pile move he used to distract them while I ran a play. Thanks JJ, for taking one for the team!

Family stroll in the gorge

This last weekend we our friends Kristin and Zakk got married in Hood River. We were able to sneak away from all of the action and take a walk up Historic Highway 30, this portion of the road is closed to cars. Some great views with the four of us.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

There is definitely something moving around in my belly! Little baby has been very active lately - bringing a smile to my face with every kick. Big brother Fe is learning to be careful when plopping into my lap - and he is starting to say baby and to pat my belly when I hold him.

Growing

Dani had me snap a few pictures of her and the fleeting glimpses of Felix's babyhood. He is such a big kid and everyday reminds us that he is growing up and things like laying in our lap and sipping on a bottle will soon be a thing of the past. We are so happy to have a healthy big brother to the next little and hopefully healthy Gillet.
