New Crib!

Well,  this has been a busy weekend!

We went to the doctor for our 28-week checkup and glucose test. That is one stiff drink! 

Otherwise everything was A-OK and we are due back in two weeks. 

We got our new crib and dresser/changing table. We have not built the table yet, but when we do we'll add that photo too. Here is our crib! 

We got it from IKEA and we really like it. What we like most is that it does not stand too tall. Which is good because we don't either. And I don't have as far to lean over the crib-rail so my back will thank me too. It also becomes a toddler bed, with the top half and sides taken off. So that's handy.

If you think you may be confused because  the pictures of the nursery were green and blue you are not crazy. We have the crib in our room for now. Not only because the nursery is where Mom C. will be sleeping when baby comes, but also because the crib is doubling as our bassinet. And with it here, it is only a step or two from my side of the bed. 

And, yes, that is foil on the mattress. We are trying various methods to dissuade the cats from sleeping IN the crib. So far so good. Seamus likes to be under the crib, but no one has been caught sleeping in the crib.

    I love that your baby will be able to see your picture hanging there!

    Great idea to keep baby in your room for a while. It just makes everything easier.

    Amd I'm glad that Pat will be there to help you guys out and to give that extra-special Gramma kind of love to your little one. I'm excited for all of you!

    We are glad Grandma Pat will be here too. Especially since my mom has to try to work out time off for two grandchildren! (At least my brother and I both live in Littleton)

    We are all excited! Thanks for keeping in touch!

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...
