At 15 weeks we went to a German OB for an ultrasound. He was 99% certain that it was a boy, but I wasn't convinced since it was so early. Well, 5+ weeks later, it is still a BOY!! I never thought I'd be a boy mom! I just assumed since we already had two lovely girls, that maybe we'd only have girls. What a surprise! Chris is ecstatic. I am too, just shocked! He is measuring a bit ahead right now--15 ounces, heart rate was 158 bpm. Other than that, he looks perfect. His hands stayed pretty close to his face the entire hour of our appointment, so we only saw glimpses of his little eyes, nose and mouth. He looks beautiful and we couldn't be happier. Let the shopping begin.
Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
