11 months with our little love.

so in one month we will be celebrating cece's birthday. i have a hard time believing it's that time already, but here we are, at 11 months yesterday.

cece is our little doll. she's crawling all over, non-stop. she walks around furniture, and stands alone without holding on for as long as 10 seconds. she loves to walk with our fingers to hold onto. she will be on her own in no time at all. 

she loves yogurt, scrambled eggs, tofu, long walks at the mall and daddy's arrival home from work. 

cece and her sister are in love, and she's happiest when haddy is with us. school mornings are kind of sad. we try to keep busy and get out for all our errands so she can make new friends at target, kroger, etc. 

she still usually sleeps through the night. just a couple binkie replacements towards morning. but we've had a crummy night here and there, waking every hour. 

cece loves to read "that's not my snowman" and her sister's highlights magazine. she also enjoys just about any music she hears. perhaps she will be a little dancer. she sure knows how to shake it. 

next month we look forward to sharing her first birthday with you all!

xoxo, al

Bumpdate? ok!

we made it to 28 weeks! baby g3 is doing so well. thanks for asking.

baby is measuring right on. so she's about 2.5lbs, and 16 inches.

her favorite foods are ice cream, cucumbers with ranch and peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

her favorite activities are quiet time on mommy's left side, doing the dishes and bath time.

as you can tell from the photo, i am oober tired. like two oobers, i think. i have never been more thankful for a weekend, and am ever so happy joseph is actually off tomorrow. i could use the company and help.

my heartburn is awesome. zantac is delish. the back pain is terrible, so much worse than either previous pregnancy. i can't wait to see what it's like over the next 12 weeks!

the snow is finally almost gone here, and it's warming up. i am enjoying no more winter boots, i've worn a skirt once, and i've been outside without a coat on. things are looking good here. 

i am looking forward to my glucose test on monday and our 29 week appointment on thursday. hoping they will schedule another ultrasound, given that our gender ultrasound at 20 weeks was fairly inconclusive. (though we've been referring to baby g3 as a her.)

and now, i am going to fall asleep to the dodger game on tv as we snuggle under the electric blanket, for perhaps one of it's last nights on our bed. come on, spring!

xoxo, al
