Baby and blog birthday!

I've sort of let this little blog get away from me. 

I think this how Jack feels about his lack of internet attention lately:

I have been a little low on energy over the last couple of months since I've started to grow a person! Rob and I found out on Christmas morning that Jack is going to be a big brother!...My due date is September 2nd and we couldn't be more thrilled to be adding another little life to our family.

Here is a very hard to decipher 12 week ultrasound picture...

 I am hoping that I will get back in the swing of things now that I am starting my second trimester and have most of my energy back.  I was very lucky (again!) to not have any morning sickness (except for a tiny bit of queasiness in the first few weeks) and now I really feel great and I can't wait to see what the next few months bring us!

Oh, and also, it was one year ago today that I started this blog! It's been a fun little hobby that I look forward to continuing (and I promise to post more regularly)!   

27 Months

This month has been all about pretend play for Jack and it's been so fun to watch and listen to. Rob and I sometimes overhear Jack talking to his toys in the other room and we just melt from Jack's cuteness. Jack had a conversation with his Elmo doll at his little play table the other day. It went like this:

Hi Elmo!

Are you hungry?

Want to eat?

Is it hot?

I peaked around the corner to see Jack putting a cheerio into Elmo's mouth. He held it there for a second and then he ate it himself. Jack also has one of my old cabbage patch kid dolls. I asked him what the doll's name was and without skipping a beat, he said, "Robert." Ha! The first thing Jack did once he got his hands on the doll, was to drag my giant diaper bag into the living room and pull out the changing pad. I helped him undress the doll and he put him down on the mat and very gently cleaned his bottom with wipes from the bag. It was hysterical. Yesterday he pulled out an empty bottle of his baby wash from the recycling in the kitchen and decided that Robert needed a bath. So he was off to the bathroom where he  threw him into the tub and pretended to pour soap all over him.
