Some Updates...

After repeated dismounts from his crib at odd hours of the night, Mark and I have finally turned Mel's crib into a toddler bed. I wasn't ready... I liked the power of locking him in his crib for naps and the like... but he just wouldn't be restrained any longer... and instead of risking him breaking his neck at three in the morning climbing out of a crib... we just removed EVERYTHING from his room to toddler proof it, except the toddler bed which of course he can EASILY get out of, and a rocking chair. :) THis is how we found him after a nap on that first day of his toddler bed freedom. Conked on the chair with his snuggle blankets. Very sweet. A little look at the kitchen...

I can't get over how big Mel is!!!!!!! Two years in May people!

Still a master of the "scrunchy face."

At long last!!!!!! We have family in OHIO!!!!!!! Oh the joys of family!!!! We are all completely beside ourselves with joy having Mark's brother's family here, (Mark's brother,sister in law, and their fabulous childrens. ) They have introduced us to Thomas the Train, and I know life will never be the same. :) Here is Mel with his cousin Henry... Wendy is sprinting in the background. :)

Geni should be here in 5 weeks. Her little rump is always pushing in and over my ribs... I have constant raging heartburn, and as unprepared and scared as I feel.... I CAN'T WAIT FOR HER TO COME!!!!!!!!! Come on out baby Geni! (as soon as you're ready of course...).Let me hold you on the outside. :) Belly pictures are coming.
