Week 25: Moving Right Along

Happy Week 25!

We are getting ready for Christmas - Scott's folks are coming out from Omaha this weekend and we are super excited to see them again!

According to What to Expect, this week baby weighs about a pound and a half. (That's six hamburgers!!!) And he's about 9 inches tall. How does it all fit in there???

His lungs are still maturing (the last to go), but he's not ready to breathe on his own yet. That said, his nose is unplugged and he is "practicing". I wish my nose was unplugged! I hate this stuffy nose! They say he will hiccup sometimes too, but I'm not sure I've felt that yet. Or what it would feel like for that matter...

Cravings: Today I pre-made sausage balls for Christmas morning. So I tasted them to see if they were OK to feed the in-laws! :)

Funny Moments: Well, the funny thing is I can't remember...so none this week! Usually I just forget the word I am trying to use. I guess I told Scott I needed matches for the basement when I went to Target. "What is she burning down there," he must have thought. Well, actually I needed matches for the dining room table - not for the table - for the candle on the table...

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
