Ultrasound Update

This morning was the 20 week ultrasound. Everything is looking good. 2 arm, 2 legs, 2 kidneys, 4 chambered heart. Head size 3.5cm X 5.0 cm. Measuring around 17 weeks. So we think that she will be late again.

Oh yea, it's a girl.

Correction on Bryan's post: this was not the 20 week ultrasound; rather, this is the 2nd trimester ultrasound, which our doctor scheduled us for at 18 weeks, 6 days. And the baby is measuring 17 weeks, which isn't that far behind!

We are excited about the little girl! Now we can dress Katie and Deuce alike and enroll them in dance class together...take them shopping together...have them share clothes... They're going to be two cute little girls!

Katie's Busy Sunday

Grandma came over today for dinner. Katie got to play outside on the slides, and then inside with the dog. She ended her day reading some books with grandma. She had so much fun that she went to bed 40 minutes earlier then she usually does.

Gianna's 2nd B-day party

Saturday, we attended Gianna's 2nd birthday party. We brought along two kids and one in the womb. We got to babysit Peyton all day. He was a stud, the only boy at the party. Odds 1:6. Doesn't get much better then that Peyton.

Friday Night Pizza

It's rainy and cold outside! Instead of going out for a typical Friday night ice cream sundae, we catered in pizza.

Yesterday's lunch

Tyler: one whole sweet potato, one piece of whole wheat bread, once slice of cheese, one banana and cheerios.
Katie: 4 grapes, 1/4 grilled cheese & ham sandwich, milk

Ebert's Farm Part 2: Conquering the Slide

Katie couldn't get enough of the slide! We had to drag her away to see the animals and buy hot apple cider. As we walked through the parking lot on our way out, Katie saw the slide again...and through a mini-tantrum because she wanted to go back!

Ebert's Farm Part 1: The Monster and the Lion

We met the Puccis at Ebert's Farm over the weekend. Katie and Gianna enjoyed spending the afternoon in the wagon. We went to story time, petted the animals, and played on the slide.

Cold Snap

We woke up to a frosty 28 degrees this morning! Yesterday, I wondered how much longer our impatiens would last. This is no longer a question! Oh, and as I was putting Katie down for a nap yesterday, I looked out the window and saw...snowflakes.

Refining our cupcake skills

Tonight we made cupcakes for an event after tomorrow's service. Ashley baked, Bryan frosted, and Katie got all messy!

A Great Week--So Far!

We've had a great week so far! Now that I (Ashley) have a new co-worker to take over the FT responsibilities at work, this week has been so relaxing! Monday we watched the Packer loss at the Curt and Becky's. Yesterday, I worked in the morning and Katie enjoyed some time with Tyler. Yesterday night, I made Bryan chocolate chip cookies, and today, Katie and I gave our shot at coloring. Her colors spent more time on the floor, unfortunately.

Katie Can! 15 Month Update

Katie turned 15 months old on Oct 1st--and she is soooooo big!

Katie can say these words: hi, bye-bye, Da-da, duh (duck), Mama (sometimes).

Katie can understand and respond to these phrases:
"What does a monkey say?"
"It's time to eat. Go get into your chair."
"Let's go up the stairs."
"Put your shoes/socks on."
"Come here, please."
"Where's your carebear/duck/dog?"
"Sit on your bottom."
"It's time for a bath."
"Do you want some juice? Go to the refriderator."
