Well, the verdict is in - we're having another boy! You can see his profile here, looking up. Oh boy, oh boy - he's cute already!
As for our other cute ones:
We've been having lots of fun at Gramma and Grandpa's house!
Gramma is always making some kind of treat and loves to have little helpers.
Hailey and Tanner love having all the space in the basement to play.
We all have fun playing air-hockey; we've found it is most fun playing with two pucks on the table at the same time.
We've made a couple trips over to the Dinosaur museum which has been a lot of fun!
Hailey had a lot of fun making "The Great Valley" in the sand and water play area.
Tanner, on the other hand, preferred to just look -- he doesn't like to get his hands dirty.
The museum has lots of hands-on displays and activities that makes it really fun for the kids. Hailey and Tanner did their best to climb up the legs of the supersaurus.
We came across a funny quote from Hailey that I jotted down last November. One afternoon, deep in thought Hailey said to me, "I want to stay alive forever because I like sucking on my fingers . . . and I like drinking . . . and I like snacking . . . that's why."
Though Hailey has been a dedicated finger-sucker since back when it was still cute . . .
about a month and a half ago, she decided she was ready to be a big girl and quit. She spotted a doll at the grocery store that she decided would be worth giving up finger-sucking for. (I'd been suggesting the idea to her everytime she saw a doll that she wanted, if she could stop sucking on her fingers than she could get it. But it didn't work until it was her idea and she was ready.) After filling out her sticker chart for a week she could have her doll. We continued putting the yucky fingernail polish on at night for the next few weeks, but she didn't need it. She's a determined little spit-fire and she broke her habit! We are so proud of her! Way to go Hailey!!
