Toooootoooooo

I have a feeling today's attire will repeat itself for the next week. (Thanks for the tutu and ballet shoes and tights, Yoyo!) I can say Avery's taken to her second dance class more than the first, and we'll find out on Friday how the third goes! Hey, she throws dance "parties" (performances) for her stuffed animals multiple times a day now - worth any investment in a few dance classes for sure!

And just to throw in a preggo pic, although there's not yet that much to show, here's a 22 week shot! Heart rate = 164...girl?? Old wives' tale, right? BUT WE SHALL SEE and are choosing the surprise route this time!

Valentines is a good excuse for...

Cooking and crafting around a holiday? I'll take it. Tim's mom sent a hand warmer bean bag idea our way with good wishes to stay warm, and I made them. Hand and heart warmers, that is. At least my man can have the option of warm hands in his gloves when I force him to ride his bike to work at 4am in the cold.

Baking, now that comes and goes with success. Take the cookies. Mexican hot chocolate hearts, yum. Weelicious heart BEET cookies, cool looking, but a little too beety to me. Avery loves them though! They were fun and pretty to make together at least.

We were driving in the car today and I had stuck one in her snack pack with apple slices, and she said "mama, you make these cookies? They are delicious!!" Then, "mama, you make these apples? Nooooo, that's silly!" Happy Valentine's Day!

 

Hello, Baby!

Pretty cool, 20 week appointment this morning. They even give you a CD these days with mini movies of the baby moving around! Or in ours' case, swallowing amniotic fluid. yum. And who knew there are chunks of umbilical cord floating around in there? That would be annoying. These were rare, still moments in what was mostly a kicking and wiggling experience. Excited about those healthy, growing wiggles and the face and personality behing it all!

Enjoy the first shots and video of Little Eye.

We think we see lots of Avery's profile in there (duh)! In love already.
