week 34 and the bump keeps growing

x-mas is over but someone is still playing.......
the other day sadie made aaron a sunny side up egg and brought it to him at the table
she is becoming a very good "imagine" cook
her favorite is still broccoli which is wonderful
aside from that we are adjusting to a little quiet now and getting ready for phase two
phase two of course is omen #2
and really we don't need to do much to prep
except perhaps sleep...... and sleep a lot
i am starting to slow down waddling from point a to point b as best i can but doing it a little slower
sadie has lost most of her lap space but still tries to find room
which means she pushes on #2 till he moves to one side
than #2 starts pushing back
i feel like i am in constant inner turmoil
the weekend was great
saturday cleveland got a typical winter december day of 65! which of course meant we took our new LL Bean Canteen out for a walk (thanks dad)
sadie had fun picking up all the rocks and leaves so we would walk about three feet stop and she would say "whats that?" than hand us a bunch of stuff move a few more feet "whats that?" so a 1/4 mile walk took about 2 hours
no problem it was wonderful out and fun to watch her splash in the puddles when she did move a little faster
afterwards we went to CandyLand at the metro parks
thanks michele for the suggestion it was wonderful and sadie was awed at just about everything
we also went to the children's museum to play in the sand room
which is really an understatement
the sand room is about 900 square feet, 4 feet deep of cat poo free sand!
sadie had a blast
you get a little hard hat and a shovel and just dig and play
not sure though who had more fun sadie or aaron.....
sorry no pictures from that but there will be many more occasions
lets see...sadie's latest and greatest statements:
"let's see....."
"sadie where are you?"
"mimi where are you?"
"row row row your boat"
"no, no, no, no....(sung to the elmo theme song)"
"elmo's world la la la la elmo's world"
"tickle"
sadie does know the alphabet, can identify most of the letters and is learning how to spell elmo and sadie
she can count easily to ten and likes to wake up counting like this morning at 4 am "1, 2, 3, 4 (insert the count's laugh)"
she knows all the primary and secondary colors we are working on the tertiary colors figure we will know those than start looking for a job as a CEO
so if you get bored i have uploaded yet another 200 some pictures.....so enjoy
keeps my days entertaining
enjoy the days
chat more come new years!

x-mas

merry x-mas!
it was a success thank you everyone for making this the best x-mas ever!

proud mommy moment

there was one point in my life not to long ago......
about three years ago i would be going to bed at 5:00 am
my weekends would consist of finding the best art opening or cheese cube opening in cleveland, going to see some good ole rock and roll, and painting.....
now as a proud mom i was witness to sadie saying words that were like magic to my ears
never ever thought i would become one of those parents that spend much of a year talking poop...but it happens....
just like aaron and i swore we would never allow our house to become one big play room
(i think having sadie though was an excuse to make the house one big playroom....more often than not aaron and i are playing with the toys, sadie is picking up after us.....)
so you must be wondering "what did sadie say?"
she looked me straight in the face and said "poop" lifted her shirt up, walked to the stairs, climbed up the stairs, walked into her room and waited for me to lift her up onto the changing table to change her diaper....
out little girl is growing up
she said "POOP!!!!"
what does this mean.....its time to talk poop and its time to talk potty.....
this also means we might have to only deal with one in diapers while the other is growing out of diapers.....
but i will not count my poops till they hatch (that is a very disturbing thought) and we will not push anything but i am so proud of her
lets see.....
good thing we got the the big ole SUV sooner than later
we have hit -2 degrees here and there....things are falling on our house from 60 mph winds and really its just been gross out but it is winter in cleveland so no surprise there
yet tomorrow it is suppose to be 50 so just when you think your sinuses have adjusted...
#2 is doing great he does a lot of flipping and flopping in there
got to see him and he has some big cheeks just like his sister did....
we are all very very ready to say hello and welcome him into the family...especially me since i think it will be my first day off in almost 2 years
that is sad isn't it?
i want sounds of sympathy
this is all fine and dandy but in a few days we celebrate x-mas
sadie's 2 x-mas and she is aware of all
aaron and bumpa will stay up late putting together her retro red kitchen set
not going to tell you what else she got...you will just have to wait for the update later this week
#2 even got some presents......babylegs
keep those chubbies warm this winter
well that is all for now check back later this week for all the holiday cheer
and we do apologize
no cards from this year....we are slow at getting things together ......but we do send our love and thoughts
ps. we have not been to candyland yet but we do hope to we did go to stan hywet to see the lights
and sadie loved it she just ran and ran saying WOW! it was funny.....
enjoy the pictures
