Proud parents:

Crazy Fun

Do they have fun together or what?!

First Sono

There's my next little bean!!!! The minature little heart was fluttering and everything today! We are 7 weeks and 3 days preggo. Still due on October 31st!

I have another U/S (a more official one) on the 31st to make sure the timing and age of the baby is correct, since my menses are so wacky. All I heard in my head was "you get to see your little miracle again!"

Baby #2

Yippee! It's happened!!
I am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant with Baby #2!

We decided to go off preventative measures late last year with very little hope, considering Leighton was a product of fertility medicine. Much to our surprise and overwhelming delight, just 3 months later this showed up:

(kinda hard to tell, but I promise you that's 2 lines)

Don't worry, I took another one the next day to confirm because I was just in pure disbelief!

It was positive too!

We are due on October 31st (trick or treat? treat, please!)

I feel great (tired, but no morning sickness so far)!

Our first prenatal appointment is March 17th (next week!) and I'm going to beg for an early ultrasound just to reassure me that there really is something in there!

Bring on the neurotic pregnant woman!

Mad Skillz

It's a little crazy, but Leighton can "name that artist" within a few beats of a song that's on the radio. I finally realized that if I pulled up ITunes and played little tidbits off their "top singles" list, I could potentially record what we've been seeing for months now. She is obsessed with music...and not the baby stuff...pop music all the way!

Party at the Park

Leighton's friend Emily turned 4 last weekend and she celebrated at the park.

It was a gorgeous 80 degree day and the kids loved it.

The birthday girl is on the right opening presents (happy birthday, emily!)
My daughter is on the far left (by the swings) wanting nothing to do with watching someone else open the "hello kitty" backpack she thought was for her....

Riding the scooter...

Posing...

Playing with Baby Noah....

Are all my cold-weather friends jealous or what?!

Cookie Monster

The girl loves Oreos: regular or golden....and especially the cream filling!

Daddy was in the shower.

Mommy was laying on the couch with Daddy's cereal box hiding my view.

Leighton went to town...(she usually is limited to 2 cookies)...

What a character! Love her!

And no...we can't keep clothes on her.

Fire Day

All girls love a man in uniform, right?!
Not little Leigh-bug...although at 10x her size, I can't blame her!



Too scared to go into the firetruck...even with daddy!


Thanks City of Chandler for a fun day!

First play

Nope, they were'nt in it, although you might be fooled with the picture...

They wanted to stand on stage after the show....and both mommies obliged!

Auntie Summer treated all of us to a local high school rendition of "Seussical, The Musical"

Pretty stinking cute to see a "real life movie"...their faces when it first started were priceless.

Soon after, Leighton decided it was better to twirl around and dance her own groove in the space between the seats and the stage. She would have gone all the way to join in the dancing if she could have.

Good times.
