Ok, I took bump pics before anyone else was here to walk in on me! And thanks for the questions for this week . I'm ~34.5 weeks along.

We're staying home and doing a big cookout just for ourselves on July 4th. Ribs, corn on the cob, asparagus, watermelon, cherries, and possibly a few other things. Can't wait! No fireworks though...as much as I love them, my toddler loves her 8pm bedtime more and we would be seriously deluded thinking she'd be happy to be up at 10:30pm to watch.

The final pic is from G's first Mariners game. We went on Sunday and had a lot of fun. Her favorite part was meeting the moose. Lately, she's wanted to know about anything and everything all around her and has started to try to explain things back to you to make sure she gets it. Usually that involves asking "what this?" 3-5 times for each individual object, person, or situation. But then she busts out crazy complicated sentences with all the information she picked up.

shevacc you look great!

H has started to get better about staying awake to eat so he can eat in 30 to 40 minutes now instead of over an hour.  Except he cluster feeds from 6-10pm or 9-1am. Guess which one I prefer....
He is also more awake now and has started looking my direction when I talk and someone else is holding him. He also locked eyes with me the other day and I told B "he's looking directly into my soul! Omg!" B was like yeah whatever....men...



This picture was taken five seconds after the one above...He makes a lot of faces...


And even though I know many of you saw this on Facebook I'm awing it anyways because CUTENESS! Jenny GG is fabulous.

Thanks mrslefty! I'm having a "cute bump" day

I love the smiley pics, especially the last Jenny GG pic -- he's so adorable!

Uhhh, excuse me, mrslefty, but that was only four pictures. You owe us another one

I'm 35 weeks, 4 days today. These pictures were taken this morning with Leela's help (if you want to call it that).

Plans for the 4th involve cleaning out our garage and / or being pinned to the couch with a terrified 70 lb. dog in my lap, depending on how bad fireworks are this year.

I have another midwifery appointment next Thursday, and after that, I start weekly appointments. I can't believe I'm only a month away from my due date

Aww bumps and babies!! Everyone's so cute! I love it!

Our 4th Poland fell through so we are going to go to NW Trek instead then come home to BBQ, make fancy s'mores and watch fireworks that others spent money on.

No new milestones for either girl. We are working on getting J to sit for longer but she gets to distracted and M we are just working on her listening skills. She understands so much more when she takes the time to actually pay attention.

I'll add a pic later when I get on a real computer. It's saying all my files are too big for me to add it from my iPad

mrslefty, I love his hands behind his head!

any plans for the 4th?
Not officially, but I assume we're going on my dad's boat b/c we do every year.  We normally stay up late and watch and/or set off fireworks, but I don't think that will work w/ a baby.  So, maybe we'll just go on the boat during the day and go home and put E to bed and hope he can sleep through all the fireworks.  We'll see. 


any new milestones lately?
 He is 11 months as of yesterday!  It's so crazy.  He's getting really good at walking w/ the walker that you push.  He was almost running laps at daycare, but he still is far from walking on his own.  He has stood in place for a second or two, but that's about it.  He's getting much better eating solids.  


last/next dr appt?
 Last appt was at 10 months.  He was 30% weight, 50% height, and 70% for head.  Next appt is his 12 month.  I also need to schedule a dentist appt for him.

here is bjl pinching/pulling her brother's ear when we told her to kiss him. daddy is kissing baby brother. she's such a bully!

4th of july our neighbor is hosting a neighborhood bbq (we did it last year, so they decided to do it this year)... at night, we are thinking of going to downtown edmonds, being ready to leave after the first boom if the kids don't like it!

nothing new i haven't already talked about. my inlaws are out of town so my mom and h are alternating taking care of the kids this week...my mom is not a very good baby sitter...it's frustrating. the boy ate 3oz of milk while i was gone (9 hours) yesterday. today it's been 6oz so far, so that's better..but still. !@#@##@@#. both my mom and h can't get bjl to nap, so as soon as i get home, it's explosive tantrums, and i put both kids to sleep....oh well..IL's get back this weekend, and we can resume normal. at least now i get to go straight home and don't need to pick up kids! yay!

[ilovebed]

Love all the kids and bumps!! So cute. I saw Shevacc at daycare pick up yesterday and she looks even cuter in person!!
Here is a picture of Blb not wanting to wake up this morning.

And the other is a picture of her eating "picey" salsa and chips last night.

any plans for the 4th?
Local parade, then hide out at home where were will medicate or dog and heart as free fireworks as possible.

any new milestones lately?
J has learned to wave. He knows several words (when we say them), including up, gentle, digs name, kitty. He is finally willing to eat (some days). Swimming class is going great. He paddles with his hands and holds his legs straight.

last/next dr appt?
9 mo appt coming up on Monday.
