It's a girl!!!

Stella has arrived! 8lbs, 21inches! We are so blessed and love her to pieces!

Baking!

I felt like my mom this morning:) This is something she would do! Let James get totally messy and have a great time! Cause really who cares...that's what life is about. He had a ball for hours;)

New kicks:)

He is almost walking! He likes to take 3-4 steps off the couch and fall into our arms. It's mostly a game but I think he's still practicing:) 

37 weeks!

This was a ultra sound at 32 wks. Our tech snuck us a few 3d pics. Not too sure how I feel about them. Kinda scary looking:) These cheeks are HUGE! We are getting anxious and excited to meet this little acrobat taking over my entire belly!

Navy Pier/Children's Museum

Warning: He was SO busy and would NOT look at the camera. I tried!

 Indoor snowball fight:)

 Dress up a snowman or just dump all the scarves, hats and mittens out!

 Fishing!

 That sure is a whole turkey he's pushing.

Mmmm light switches...fun!

Zoo lights

 This is a sad pic b/c James is looking at me (what's new) Such a mama's boy! It's really to prove that I still exist:) 

 We asked someone to take our pic and this is what we got! Too funny! Black silhouettes and mainly Frosty in the background! Hilarious;)

Romaine Hearts

When we go back home to visit Indy. My mom is notorious for finding "non-toys" for James to play with. Some are well received and others are mainly me saying uhh please don't give him that!! Anyway, the Costco box was a hit and turned into a ride around the couch:) about 100 times!!

Gymboree!

In effort for James to meet other babies his age and burn some energy off (cause really how many times can he climb on and off the couch!) We joined Gymboree;) He has only been a handful of times but seems to enjoy himself!

Walkin' Down The Line

Park pics

For the last couple of days the weather has been great. We decided to take full advantage before it turns cold! However I fully intend to be outside if it's 30 degrees and above this winter. We'll see how that pans out with the new babe and all;)

Pumpkin Fest

He wouldn't smile or look at the camera!! (only on the slide) Seriously!! I wonder if this next baby will be totally opposite

;) We shall see....

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!

Last week we had a small family and friends get together for the big first birthday! It was a ton of fun and great to be with old friends that we don't see that often living in Chicago:) The party was a barnyard blowout!
