Ultrasound


This morning was my 2nd ultrasound for baby #2....very exciting! The ultrasound tech let us know that everything looked good... always great news to hear :) We got to see the baby's heartbeating at 130 beats/min, and the baby yawning in the 3D ultrasound. 3D is a little weird to see...the baby looks a little alien like as the doctor warned... Crazy to think I am almost half way through the pregnancy! Erin really enjoyed seeing the baby on the monitor moving around... not quite sure if she fully understands yet but all in time :) Will post a pic once Brian has our scanner up and running again....

27 months old!



Wow, time has gone by too fast... I know Erin is 2 but she just learns so much everyday and amazes us with everything she does and says. She is like a little adult....wanting to be so independant.."no, no, mommy...me do it" is a very common phrase these days! lol! I spent an afternoon with Erin trying to get her to ask for things nicely...this is the outcome.."May..(pause), I...(pause), have (pause)...grapes (pause) please? Too cute! I can't believe how fast Erin caught on! So that is how she asks for everything... even if it doesn't make any sense...

Erin is also doing amazing with her potty training!!! I would have to say she is pretty much fully trained during the day...still a diaper at night but that will come with time. She really likes going to the potty by herself by pushing us outside the bathroom door...saying "me do it" as she proceeds to go to the bathroom. We are very proud of her!

As my tummy is growing larger, Erin likes to feel my tummy and press her ear against my belly to see if she can hear the baby. The baby has been moving more and more over the past few weeks, so Erin and Daddy enjoy feeling and seeing the baby move....Too cute! I think this baby might be an acrobat!

I don't recall anyone telling me how difficult it is to keep clothes on a 2 year old!!! haha! Erin is always telling us "warm, mommy...warm..." or "hot...hot..." then proceeds to stripping off every item of clothing... I try most days to keep panties on but it is a struggle... kids are hilarious... once Erin is naked... she tells us she has a "naked bum" and then dances around.... hopefully she grows out of this by the time she is 16!!!

Bee Movie


Well, we had our first family movie date on November 11th. We took Erin to see the "Bee Movie".... Erin was really good... enjoying all the popcorn and all the other families watching too. Then Erin wanted to sit on Daddy's lap, and soon enough... Erin was fast asleep! Erin slept through the last half of the movie... but not because it was a bad movie.. :) It was really good, Brian and I really enjoyed it.

Happy Halloween!

Well, this year was definitely more fun than last year... we think Erin understands the whole candy thing a bit more :) Erin was quite excited to see all the kids dressed up and amazed every time she got a piece of candy in her pumpkin bucket! She would grab a candy out and turn to Brian and I and say "look, look" in a very excited voice...too funny!! We are pretty amazed at how much candy she got from only going to 6 houses! I guess Daddy will have to help her eat some of it :) Erin was dressed up as a cute little chicken and would flap her arms and say "bock, bock" Very adorable, just wanted to squeeze her all night. I will post some pics as soon as I can.
