Baby #2 on the way!

If you noticed our blog has a new title! Yes, we are having another baby for those of you who don't know. Was it planned?... No. Were we shocked?...Yes. Are we happy and excited?...very much! We're due at the beginning of June so Clae and the new baby will be 16 months apart. We had an ultrasound and saw the baby yesterday, everything looked good. I'm feeling much better now a few days from my 2nd trimester, so I'm hoping this pregnancy will go smoothly.

Trick or Treat

We took Clae "trick or treating" for the first time. We went to two houses if you consider that trick or treating. It was a really nice evening so he was a little warm in his bear costume, but he seemed to enjoy it. We didn't actually let him have any candy but he had fun playing in the bowl.

Yummy Apple

At 9 mos Clae still doesn't have any teeth, so he's kind of limited on the foods he gets to eat. It's not stopping him from enjoying this apple though, at least he can suck the juice out of it!

More Pics

These are just some random pictures since I haven't put any on for so long.

Jumparoo

It's been forever since I've updated our blog. We don't have a whole lot new going on. Clae is almost 8 mos and is sitting up and acting like he wants to start crawling soon. He's also trying to get teeth, but we haven't seen one pop through yet.

We've been going to MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) every other Friday. So far Clae does not like the nursery at all and I end up taking him into the meeting with me. I'm hoping he gets used to it soon so he can play with the other kids.

Kohen let Clae borrow his jumparoo. He LOVES it! It makes jungle sounds which seems appropriate because he acts like a wild animal when he's jumping.

Ribbit

(Kiles, this post is for you!) I had to post this picture, first of all because I think it's so darn cute, but also because it has a FROG in it. I have an irrational fear and dislike of frogs, I'm not exactly sure why but I always have. So everytime I see one of Clae's frog toys or one of his outfits with a frog on it I think, "eeew, frogs." I'm just waiting for the day he comes to me and says "mommy, look what I found," and he shows me a big, ugly, disgusting frog. That will not be a good day.

More Please...

At almost 6 months Clae is EVERYWHERE! He's not crawling but he rolls everywhere and he "worms" his way around. What I mean by that is he lays on his back, arches himself up so only the top of his head and the bottom of his feet are touching the floor and uses his head to pull himself around. I've never seen anything like it, it's actually pretty impressive. We have hardwood floors so I lay a blanket on the floor for him to play on but it's impossible to keep him on the blanket, he always ends up on the wood but he doesn't seem to mind much.

He is getting much better at eating cereal from a spoon and we've now started to incorpororate a few vegetables which he seems to like fairly well. Kirby is much better at feeding him food from a spoon, he's much more patient than I am. We're at grandma's in this picture, this was her first time to see him eating from a spoon.
