So much to do, so little time as they say. Currently 17 1/2 weeks pregnant, and often using the hour when both kids are (supposed to be) napping to rest myself. We've been spending a lot of time and energy too trying to keep up with S's recent autism diagnosis and all that comes with that...more later. Although I don't have any pictures to go with it, R's favorite word right now is "Bubble"--Buh-buhl. The kids love (us blowing) bubbles outside, and they both constantly request it.
Here are pictures going back a month ago when my friend Aimee (from SoCal) was visiting her Mom in nearby Roseville, so we drove over for a few hours of reunion.
Can you find Aden in this picture? The little turkey ducked down just as I snapped the pic. How do kids have such perfect timing? Notice the spoon in R's mouth--eating is definately a theme with him.
R and JonJon loved playing in the fountain!
R says, "Don't you like the shirt Aunt Jenny appliqued for me?"
Here's the latest in the bedhead saga:
"Look Mom, I ate a leprechaun!"
"Look Mom, I caught the gingerbread man!" (That's actually mud by the way...doesn't anybody feed this child?!)

As much as S & R love pickles, we had to let them try a Giant Pickle.

Daddy did an AMAZING job building me this tire swing-and I love it!
She can sit and hold on to gain muscle strength and balance, and we can put a large pillow cushion on it for her to lay on for "tummy time" strengthening.
S just turned 3, and on her birthday the therapy services through Early Start program ends, and your local school district takes over. So after an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting last week, the school district's psychologist, speech therapist, special education teacher, and our "service coordinator" recommended S start special ed pre-school on her birthday--5 days a week for 3 1/2 hours a day. Yikes. There are only about 6 more weeks of pre-school left, so we'll see how it goes...Here's her "First Day of School" picture
At lunch we celebrated her birthday
Yummy!
This was her second cupcake of the day, since she was allowed to bring some in as birthday treats for her new classmates: 4 little boys--Juan, Pancho, Cezar and Miles. I think she likes Pancho best.
So now you're all caught up--we go in for an ultrasound in 3 weeks, hoping to find out if we'll be getting a baby brother or baby sister!
