week 30....month 18

so what does one do after a wonderful feast of eating (thanks to aaron and his magic ways with a turkey)?
well you exhaust the toddler right?
how does one exhaust a toddler who normally puts me to bed by 7:30 or 8:00?
you keep the fun and games coming..........
the past weekend was sadie appreciation activities:
playing in a big leaf pile
eating a big plate of hummus and fries from tommy's
sleeping in till 7:40! (okay this is more mommy, daddy appreciation)
having her friend amelie come over
dancing with grover and bun bun

visiting the children's museum and playing in the splish splash room
taking walks to the beach and swinging on the swing set
x-mas shopping for herself
learning to count to ten
singing the alphabet to her doll lola
falling asleep in the car

so now what? is it possible to top last weekends fun filled hours of playing?

well yes it is possible.......
we will be heading to the natural history museum to view a planetarium exhibition that is for kids under the age of 2
my curiosity is.....how will they keep the attention of a room full of kids under 2?

elmo constellation?
after staring at the starry skies we are getting our tree
than the fun starts...
how to make a tree child proof? tinker toys
lets say there may be sewing...........
#2 is doing well he is getting bigger every day the good thing and bad thing is he stretches all day long and is quiet at night so as i sit in meetings i watch my belly go up and down and move from one side to the other its actually rather bizarre but hey sometimes it is better than the meeting
enjoy the pictures and the days

PS: this morning sadie pulled out her binky or her pacifier lifted my shirt up and stuck it in my belly button and said "baby bink"
i think she is ready for her brother

thanksgiving.......

need i say more....................................

turkey day.......

turkey day is just around the corner
and i know you are all wondering
will we dress sadie up as a big turkey?
who said having children was not entirely for your own personal amusement?
you will just have to wait and see right?
so what are we doing for turkey day
well bec and sadie will sleep in till 6:30!!!!
aaron will be getting up with his 21 lb turkey probably around 6:30 .......so far this day is no different than any other day except for the 21 lb turkey and aaron is doing ALL the cooking
which is great b/c i have completely lost the ability to bend at the waist
the amazing thing is this:
everyone told me every pregnancy was different but did i really believe any of you....?
what can i saw i am a librarian by heart which means i do not believe everything i hear i need to experience it
so far though you are all RIGHT!
lets see
sadie:
no ankles : growing out of maternity clothes : people asked if i was having twins : i could not get out of aaron's car with out help : sadie kicked every vital organ keeping ALL of us up : headaches : backaches ....you get the picture everything ached
omen #2
hardly realize i am pregnant : still have ankles : i can actually sort of still fit in my non maternity sweaters : i am getting in and out of aaron's car with ease : no aches : getting kicked in the bladder and the ribs : sleepy
so is this any indication of how omen #2 will be
will he be quiet and mellow?
the great mystery is only 2 1/2 months left....
the great adventure of sadie continues though
she can sing the alphabet all by herself, count on her fingers to 5 and laugh like the count on sesame street, she loves to sing row row row your boat, fed elmo her bunny, and lola her doll, she loves to pretend cook, and she continues to tell us what to do most of the time
it is hard to see in the pictures but she does have one or two curls that pop out every once in awhile and a nice wave going...so she did get the curly hair
and like her mom and dad she is not a big fan of cold wind though she does like crunching leaves and snow......
still have not had enough snow though for snowballs or angels
well that is it for today....stay tuned for after turkey day delights
ps: we introduced the potty so far it has been great fun but not functional
