Getting Ready for Baby Brother

Mommy is 34 weeks pregnant today with baby brother! That means that he will be here in 5 weeks (or less)! We can't believe it!! We are slowly starting to get our house ready. Before you ask, yes baby brother does have a first name - William, but we have yet to settle on a middle name. Maybe mommy will make a post/poll about that soon (suggestions welcome).

Baby brother and I will be sharing a room so Mom and Dad rearranged the room and added his crib to my room. He will actually be sleeping in Mom and Dad's room for the first few months.



Baby brother also has a drawer full of clothes (these are just the newborn and 0-3 months sized)- some bought by Mommy, bought by grandmothers, given and gifts and donated by friends (thanks Alisa!). There are even more clothes on the way! Mommy says he still doesn't have as many as I did!



Here is his new carseat for when he gets a bit older. For the first few months he will use my old baby carseat but this one is ready for him when he gets too heavy!



Daddy's work gave them a little shower so they got several boxes of diapers and wipes!



Mommy also has her secret stash of "hippie" cloth diapers! She is slowly getting these (don't tell Daddy - haha) to use instead of regular diapers! I know you think she's crazy (and she is a little) but they are way cuter and better for the environment! This is just the start, there are more on the way.

Don't you like my flower headband?

I love the library

One of my favorite activities is to go to the library. I like books of course, but the best parts are getting to go in the cave and walking up and down the stairs! Luckily for me, Daddy takes me to the library almost every time Mommy has a doctor's appointment to check on baby brother! Mommy keeps saying she is going to start taking me to story time - but hasn't yet! Hopefully we will start going next week.

Valentine's Cookies

Tonight Mommy and I baked and decorated Valentine's Cookies! I had a blast decorating and of course eating the icing and sprinkles!




Didn't I do a great job decorating?

Cute Video

Here is a cute video of me playing with my playdough:

Getting Bigger

I went to the doctor on Tuesday for my 2 year check up. They said I was looking good. I'm a little on the small side with regard to my weight but I'm in the 75% in height (how did that happen?) The doctor said I needed to start drinking from a regular cup now and not just a sippy cup (Mom was a little worried about this). Mom started giving me a regular cup at the table for lunch and dinner and so far I have done excellent! I can drink out of it just fine and not spill it! Now if only I could get the potty training down...

Playing in the Grass

Yes, there is grass in the desert - not a lot of it - but there is some! Mommy took these pictures of me at the park the other day:





And my new favorite thing to play with is playdough! I love it!
