Sweetness

A couple weeks ago, Maximus and I went to see Grandma LaLa, Veronica & her baby, (M's 2nd cousin). Veronica captured some really sweet photos of the two cousins - here's a few.





I love the look on both of their faces. So precious.

By the way, Maximus got a haircut! I'll share some photos in my next post. It's still longish, but doesn't look quite as unruly. ha!


Happy day!

23 Months

 
First off, I wanted to thank all of you for the congrats and sweet comments on my last post. I hope to keep a good record of this next little one, as much as I have with M. Let's hope I have the time and energy. haha...
 
Maximus turned 23 months on the 7th of this month. Needless to say, I'm a little late in getting this posted. I can't believe that in less than two weeks he'll be 2 years old!
 
His language is exploding - he's learning so many new words. Some of the things he says really surprise us. It's a really fun age. Here's some of the stuff he's been saying:
 
people, heart, all done, all gone

cap = cap (he loves containers and things with lids/caps and wants to hold them).
 
buba = bubble

duty = dirty

ee-moe = oatmeal
 
hoat = hold (he's always asking to hold things and also says this when he wants to be held).
 
rock you or rocky you = he wants you to rock him. (He says this a lot before bed. Sometimes we hear him saying/crying it when he wakes up. If he hears a baby somewhere crying. He'll say, "nigh nigh...rock you").
 
taw = straw
 
ope = open
 
een or een-ah = in
 
dean or dean-ah = jeans
 
dammie = jammies
 
bread or bread-ah = bread
 
tiny = he started saying this one day when he was eating blueberries.
 
bean or bean-ah = bean (this is a word that Rob was trying to get him to say for over a year now...haha)
 
low-goak = yogurt (this is probably his favorite food these days).
 
tee tee = TV
 
moo-gick = music (still loves it)!
 
new one = he's been getting in his dresser drawer to get "one" of his blankies and now he calls them "new one" most of the time.
 
logo = he'll recognize logos on objects and will say logo.
 
tappy = strawberry
 
pete = peach
 
come you or comey you = he wants you to come with him. I adore this phrase.
 
key boar = keyboard
 
bud-ah = butter (reminds me of someone from Boston).
 
be-you = teddy bear. Sometimes he'll say teddy.
 
cal-ca-lu = calculator (sometimes referred to as cal-key-lu).
 
cop-oh = couple
 
hokey = okay
 
pee-tee = pretty
 
hap you = help you (if he wants your help or wants to help you, he says this).

keem = cream

This guy keeps us busy and makes us laugh. He's such a blessing.

Another...

He's right!
 
 
I am pregnant!
 
 
Not sure it has completely set in yet, except for the fact that I have been exhausted and nauseous for the past several weeks. This is a major reason that I haven't been doing much blogging lately.
 
---------------------------
 
I'm a little over 9 weeks
Due date is Aug. 19th, my mom's birthday!!!
Had first ultrasound yesterday and all looks good
Thank goodness for naps - I usually take one when M does.
We get to find out the sex of the baby in the next 2 1/2 months.
Rob and I both think it's going to be a boy.
 
---------------------------
 
I hope to be getting some energy back soon. The first trimester can be quite exhausting. We feel so blessed and fortunate to be having another child. God is good!
 
As a side note, I found a work around for the problem that I was having uploading photos to blogger:
I googled the problem and this link popped up: Photo Upload Problem - Known Issue
For now, I'm able to upload photos in the HTML tab. It's a known issue that Blogger is having and they are working on. I wanted to share this in case any of you were having similar issues.
 
 
Happy day!

I wanted to wish my Dad a very Happy Birthday today!

For some reason, blogger is not letting me upload pictures...grrr...I'm so not used to doing posts without photos.

Anyway...have a good day Dad. I couldn't ask for a better father!


Love you very much!
Heidi, Rob & Maximus

p.s. Hoping to post something soon once I can upload again.
