A family of four

A lot of people have been asking if we're done having kids, I keep telling them number three is still on the table for bargaining.

Sophia has been such a different baby compared to Ethan.

Ethan was just interested in basic baby stuff, eating, sleeping, pooping, and repeat until he was about two months old. He also grew two inches and gained almost two pounds in his first month. He is now matched height for weight at 40lbs and 40.5 inches. As wonderful as it is, it has made a heck out of buying carseats, since he is at the weight limit for most harness boosters. Money Money Money..........

Sophia has already passed her birth weight and is probably going to be 8lbs by one month. I'm hoping. She is so quiet compared to Ethan. She hardly cries, but she grunts a lot and is a very noisy sleeper. She has already started the quiet alert periods, where she likes to look around and just take it all in. I can only imagine what she is thinking. 
I've already put a bow headband on her for a outing to a friends bridal shower and I recently purchased AIO pocket cloth diapers for her, all in girl colors and patterns.  It is so much harder than I thought it was going to be. I always told myself I wouldn't give in to all the frills and bows if I had a daughter. She has an outfit that has ruffle butt. I'm so ashamed, my past self would slap her forehead and sigh. There are some things I won't go so far as to do, but I'll cave in for ruffle butt.

January fun

Sorry I haven't updated the family one in a while, I hate to say it but we really haven't been doing too much. Between all the snow and me being huge with baby, there hasn't been much going on. So I thought I'd just post a couple pictures.


Ethan being a zombie and prepared to attack daddy.

We went to Treepaad in Ballston Lake and Ethan had so much fun. 

 They had ballshooters that shoot 'apple' balls up into the air.

 They also had ball guns that you could put the balls in and shoot into the air.

One of the many snowstorms we've had.

 At carousal at the State Museum.

 Learning about time with Daddy.

Ethan and his Zhu Zhu Pet

We got Ethan a Zhu Zhu pet for his stocking. Anyone who doesn't know what they are, it's a little toy hamster that drives around and makes little noises. We didn't get him the house or anything, just the little hamster. He likes it, his favorite games to play with it is to either try following it around (which he is doing in this one) or throwing a ball at it and knocking it over.  He keeps it on one of the shelves in his toy kitchen. I have to say that it really isn't as irritating a toy as I thought it would be for being a Christmas Craze toy last year (2009). (Sorry for the quality of the vid, it was one of the last I took with my old digital camera before it kicked the bucket. )

 Ethan and his Bee pillowpet.  They chase each other around the house going "Buzz Buzz".

 Playing with his toy kitchen. He specializes in making drinks right now.

Baby #2 almost ready to come out. I'm a lot bigger than I feel, most days anyway.
