The Fall weather is finally here!

Declan is quickly becoming a big, little man. He is now turning over from back to belly with no problem. Holding his head up steady. Cooing and giggling like a crazy guy. Also, getting quite upset if he's not held all day long. He is such a little snuggler. Gwen is finally realizing her role as big sister and okay with it now that she know she can do things that ("Deckie" as she calls him) can't do. We take him outside and put him in his walker after nap is over where he walks a few steps backwards. And as for mommy, I am finally getting some sort of schedule down & becoming a bit more comfortable with 2. But it's not easy!

"Daddy, i think my chain is out of alignment!" My bikin' jammas. Time for my evening ride with daddy!
Getting bigger & bigger. This time the belly feels like it's riding lower. Gwennie talks to my belly button and tells the baby to come out so she can play with him.

Someone is always kicking me around in there. So, we are having a little boy on June 18th, 2010 and his name will be Declan James.

The Rio Grande Zoo & My 1st stitches!!!

Stop, in the name of love! This is my now 2 1/2 year old with the hand in the face gesture! She doesn't need help doing anything. She's a big girl. Grandma Bonnie & Gwennie looking at the giraffes!

Grandpa Jim holding me cause I was scared of the monkey's butt!

My favorite Krispie Kreme Sprinkle Doughnut. This is a special treat, when I'm a good girl.

So, on April 9th I split my lip trying to climb on the counter. I ended up needing 3 stitches. I'm all better now. Mommy had to take them out while I was sleeping to avoid another $600 hospital bill....
