As in Surprise I’m still here…since it’s been so long since you’ve been given and update on me…or my personal favorite Surprise…It’s a girl!
So here I am, minding my own business-growing hair, working on my listening ears, practicing my kung-fu kicks, and all of a sudden I feel this really hard, really annoying pressing –everywhere! Turns out it was Mom at Dad at the Dr.’s getting another look at me. This look, besides confirming what I already know,- positively perfect in every way- was very special because it was the day Mom and Dad found out I am a girl!
This news, it seems, came as quite a shock (apparently the camera lady told them at 12 weeks that I looked like a boy…pointed out “his” little parts and everything) so it was a BIG surprise for them! Naturally they are much happier that I am a girl and not a stinky ole boy but I can understand the confusion. So now that we are all acquainted they can get to the really important work of picking out my name…and judging by some of the “suggestions” I’m hearing, they’ve got some work to do…and designing my nursery (apparently this will be my new home once I leave this joint) so it’s very important that it be just as cozy. So that’s my big news for now. I’ll do my best to get Mom back on track with her updates, my kicks are finally get a reaction so now I have some leverage!
Love to all,

Ahhh 12 weeks and time for another photo shoot. I decided to put on a little show for everyone today seeing as they had to go a whole month without seeing me and all the hard work Ive been doing in here. I bounced and popped around even put my whole new hand up to say "hi". I tried to be a good baby for the camera lady since she was apparently trying to do important Dr stuff but I knew mom and dad were just more excited to see me than worry about the rest of it, still I did my best to cooperate and give her the looks at me she needed...Im a crowd pleaser, what can I say.
The good news is that everything looks good and I'm told to keep up my good growing work!
Its been busy and on the go around here but I've gotten to do some fun new stuff like going to the beach! Now that brother is out of his cast we can go and I love it! It gets all warm and bright in here, it's really nice. We get to go on a big family beach trip in a few weeks, I can't wait!
Well it's been a LONG day, I'm gonna go take a nap.
Love to all

Inspired by another bloggers piece I came across today I decided to take the opportunity to document some of the constant dic-toddler commands that are frequently uttered In my home these days…while they are still cute…and only mildly annoying…
1. Hand, Hand! This normally results in being lead to any variety of places or to any variety of things he might find desirable at that time (which of late includes the new container of candy corn in the kitchen…OY) Or just as often this commandment is promptly followed by ;
2. Shoes, Shoes! That inevitably leads to …
3. SIDE, SIDE! This is the one that is repeated over and over and over ALL DAY LONG. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful that my kid likes to be outdoors-really- but at 5:30 in the morning…when it’s raining…it’s not nearly as charming, or as easy to explain why it’s not happening.
4. More! A term normally reserved for food items, especially of the small orange fish shaped variety (or his new obsession…)
5. Chips! I SWEAR we do not ply this kid with junk food, but I’ll be dammed if he didn’t look over the baby gate last week at the new bag of pop chips I bought at BJ’s and begin emphatically chanting Chip Chip Chip…Not only did I not realize he knew the word…I sure as heck didn’t expect him to ID the bag in a dark corner of the dining room!
6. Pop-Pop: This phrase can actually encompass either or both sets of grandparents or his Auntie but it is directed at the computer, as he believes its only purpose is to see and talk to people who aren’t here… Yea for Skype! (Although he is starting to call in “pudee” which makes the request a tad easier to understand)
7. Dia-poo (Diaper): As in this one is old and full…new one please!
8. Poddy (potty): In keeping with the previous demand, he makes this request often…but always after the deed is done…baby steps
It’s really pretty cool to watch these connections form rapid fire and I know this is the point when it’s supposed to happen but it’s still pretty awe inspiring. Let’s just hope I can keep that perspective as the demands get louder and the vocabulary gets wider!
