Suggestions?

So...Elizabeth is almost a year old and I'm not really looking forward to that milestone. She won't be my little baby anymore and that makes me sad. What I want to know is...Elizabeth used to stand up and now she doesn't do it anymore. I'm not sure what happened, but I think she forgot that she can do that. Anyway, do I try and work with her to get her to stand on her own, or will she just remember and be able to do it again. Does that also work with walking? I heard somewhere that you can't force them and that they will just walk on their own when they're ready.

Oh how I love the kitty

Here is a picture of Elizabeth with Addi. It's really funny how much she likes the cat. The cat actually takes the abuse...sometimes. So, we finally have a new due date for the baby. Our new date is March 17th. It won't be too much longer before we find out what the sex of the baby is. I go in for my next appointment at the beginning of the month and I'm sure it will be scheduled at that point.

A week ahead of schedule

Marty and I went in for our first ultrasound appointment yesterday. It was really exciting seeing our baby. At the doctor we go to, they have the 3D ultrasound equiptment so it's neat to get a look at the baby at all angles. The baby was moving around a lot, so it was hard to get one clear picture. We also found out that the baby is measuring one week ahead of our due date. I found this a bit odd, because when we went in for my first appointment, my doctor did a quick ultrasound right in the exam room and the baby was measuring 4 days later than my prediction. We think that my doctor will change our date when she gets a chance to look at the information, or when I go see her next month.

Spaghetti

We decided to give Elizabeth spaghetti for the first time last night. This is what we ended up with...

We thought that because it would be messy, not to mess with a bib...or clothes. We were really shocked that it ended up everywhere. She went straight into the bathtub after dinner where there were noodles and chuckes of hamburger floating around. Very grose. Plus, her skin had a slight orange tint to it afterward...even after all the scrubbing. Luckily when she woke up this morning that orange glow to her was gone.

Sister's visit

My sister came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. I went with her to her 10 year H.S. reunion up in Portland. It makes me think that mine is just around the corner...next year...and that makes me feel old. Korrie has a 5 1/2 month old boy Carson that came with her. Marty and his family was kind and watched the kids while we traveled to Portland...a 3 hour drive...attended that reunion, and came home. Elizabeth was all about Carson the entire weekend. I think she just liked the fact that there was another little body around.

Carson is in Elizabeth's exersaucer and is playing with the toys too.

Elizabeth is going in for a closer look.

She is trying to snatch his pacifier.

Helping with his bath.

Oh, how we love them.

New Computer

It's been a while since we've posted and that is due to a number of reasons. We got a new computer a couple of weeks ago and are having difficulities installing the Kodak program software. I think it's because of this new vista thing that all computers now have, but that really may not be the problem. So...what I'm saying is that we don't have pictures until we can get this figured out. It doesn't hinder any posting, but everyone likes to see a picture or two on a post.

We're expecting

SO...we are making it official. I went in to see the doctor on Tuesday and I had an ultrasound done. We are having a baby! My due date is March 25th, but the doctor speculated more around the 29th. We are really super excited to have another bundle of joy.
