A year has passed!

Well, now we're pregnant again!  We're expecting baby #2 in late February, so I was reminded that this blog is a nice way to keep track of the pregnancy.  I came back, and man, it's been a long time.

Q: Can you realistically cover an entire year in one blog post?
 A: No But we can post some photos that show how things have changed!

First bites of solid food (ew! rice cereal!)








Hang on a second. I just realized that TWO years have passed!! That definitely means we won't cover it all. Get ready for the fast-forward version...

Developed obsession with first (of many, many) singing toys from Mammaw & Pappaw.  This one sings some version of the Witch Doctor song and is a dog dressed like a pumpkin.  Ostensibly in the spirit of Halloween.

Got an adorable red satin and velvet fur-trimmed dress for holiday time.

Grew in teeth just in time to chew hands during holiday photos.

 Dressed up as Teen Wolf for Halloween.  Yes, we were in costume too -- as the dad and Stiles.

















Went to Thanksgiving parade here in Philly because we couldn't get it together to go to New York.

Saw the holiday lights at Wanamakers.

Left cookies for Santa!!

Opened xmas presents in pj's.

Turned two, and opened presents again!  A remote control truck! Thanks Pappaw!

Continued love of water fountains.

So that's that. I guess we're all up to date!  More to come soon!

Happy Halloween!

Cree and I picked up a bunch of good candy when we went the grocery store a few weeks back in preparation for some trick-or-treaters. It's been sitting on the buffet in the dining room since then, and I think we've done a pretty good job staying out of it. I hope that some kids come by -- at our last house we bought all this candy and then no one came. I was surprised at how let down I felt.

With Halloween comes costumes, and I've been thinking about what I'll wear. I sort of have this built-in costume, depending on how you look at it. I could be a pregnant anything: a pregnant nun, a pregnant priest, a pregnant ballerina, a pregnant lady in a fancy dress, etc. Cree had this good idea (which I won't tell you in case I'm able to pull it together) but when I looked in our costumes last night I discovered that I must have gotten rid of the key costuming element, so I need to find a replacement, or go with a backup plan.

There aren't a lot of costumes that will diminish the pregnant part, so hopefully I'll be able to put together something acceptable. I welcome ideas.
