It's a...

BOY!!!!!

I am so excited to be having another boy.  For some reason I feel more confident knowing it's a boy.  I have already gotten through a year and a half with sweet Ira and I know I can do it again. 

  This little boy is going to be a great big brother.

psst....

Due March 13th.  Couldn't be more excited!!

I'm Baaack

After my three month break I am back!  What's happened in the last three months?  A lot.  But the main thing is this not-so-little baby started walking.  I swear one day it just clicked.  He lost his fear and gained some self-confidence and now we have a true toddler.

Birthday, Easter Bunny, and House

Seriously, how has it already been a year since we had Ira?!?!  How time flies.  To celebrate Ira's first year we had some of our friends over for cake.  We miss our families so much but are so lucky to have such great friends. 

Since I still haven't posted pictures of our new house you can catch a glimpse of it in these photos.

This morning we took Ira to an Easter Egg hunt where Ira learned he hates the Easter Bunny but loves hot dogs.

Snippity Crickits

As you can see from the last post Ira's hair was getting out of control.  As hard as it was for me to admit it, it was time for a haircut.  We decided on a place in the city called Snippity Crickits.  The name was cute, the neighborhood was cuter, but the inside was scary.  We sat Ira down on the baby chair and after a few snips the 'stylist' declared she was done.  Ira's hair looked the same; still long.  After we somehow communicated that Ira was in fact a boy she plopped Ira on my lap, put a cape on both of us and finished the cut.  Ira forgot all the trauma thanks to his first dum dum sucker.

Bed Head

You never know what king of post-nap hairstyle Ira will sport. 

Disgusting or Cute?

I have always told Colin, the second we find a rodent in our house we will either move immediately or call an exterminator to "take care of" the problem. I can not physically handle the thought of sharing my home with vermin. This past week as I sat down to finally catch up on the biggest loser I saw something hopping on our wood floors. Paralyzed by fear I called to Colin to find out what sort of creature had welcomed itself into our house. Colin grabbed a pot scooped up the amphibian and flung him out the front door. This has since happened two other times this week.   Definitely disgusting.

Just Because I'm Obsessed

Small Update

I know, it has been forever since I have blogged.  I need/want to be better at updating more regularly.  We have been so busy, and the thought of catching up on the last few months is a little overwhelming.  Our little house remodel is almost done (and I will post pictures soon), my sweet baby Ira is not so much a baby anymore, and everything else is going so well for us.  We truly are so lucky. 

Ira is both mine and Colin's pride and joy.  He is everything to us.  He is a part of us, and makes our little family feel like a family.  He is army crawling all over the place and is learning all the big boy things, like how to throw amazing tantrums and how to fake laugh.  That little boy will fake laugh for hours.  His smile has turned into the hammyiest thing you have ever seen, showing off his 4 teeth.  He will wave to anyone and everyone, it looks more like a hand flopping, but is the cutest thing. 

Today is also Colin's birthday.  I appreciate him so much.  He is such a wonderful husband and dad.  Ira just reaches for him everytime he sees him, practically jumping out of my arms.  I am amazed at how he can come home from a sometimes 12 hour workday and still have energy to play with Ira, talk with me, and hang curtain rods.
