More photos..

Since I just started another work week, here's some pictures to keep the blog updated.
Ashlyn was so precious with Judah - she took every chance she could to help. She loved helping me give him a bath, and always had very helpful suggestions as to what I should do with him. She most often wanted me to put him into his swing, but the bouncy seat was maybe her next favorite suggestion. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of her in the baby swing - she just crawled right into it one afternoon. She also enjoyed sitting in the bumbo, another feat I somehow didn't capture on film.












She did look exceedingly cute in her life jacket, something I did manage to catch on film.

















Judah HATED his. I put it on him and he immediately started crying and screaming. So I took it off and held him and tried (unsuccessfully) to avoid thinking about him drowning if there was a boating accident.


















He and I stayed home on the second day of boating, both so that he could get a better nap and so that his momma wouldn't have a panic attack. But he did like just hanging out in the boat when we were stopped - isn't he so cute in his little cloth swim diaper?


















Jack seemed to enjoy the boating (and the lifejacket) a lot more than Judah. He's going to be a great swimmer.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
