...And then there were 3

...boys that is. Today we had our 20 week sonogram and discovered we are having another boy. Hurrah!!! I guess I will truly be outnumbered, and as the technician noted... I will NEVER get the remote control again. It's time to get out that baby name book. Hopefully someday we'll be able to use the girl's name we picked a while back. However, now we have 19 weeks to figure out what we'll call our new little one. Feel free to post your suggestions. All is well with our newest little guy.

Speaking of little guys, Ben is walking everywhere now. He's still cruising and crawling, but he LOVES to walk. Thankfully the weather is warming up, and we'll soon be able to take him out for a real walk, but for now the length of the room and the house keeps him satisfied.

Saturday Ben and I begin our first mommy & me swim class at our local Y. It runs for about 7 weeks, and I am really looking forward to it. Ben loves to be in the water, whether it's for a bath, a shower, or a swim. I'm hoping this will boost his confidence so he's ready for the pool this summer.

Dave continues to make coffee and write papers. I swear it's only one REALLY BIG paper that just never gets finished. He keeps telling me I'm wrong, but I think it's just a convenient way to get out of the house for a while.

Here's a photo of "Toad in the Hole," which I made one evening for Travis, Dave, and Ben, as we were craving a British meal. Thank you Naked Chef.

Benjamin's Makeover (Before & After)

What a difference!!!!

Birthday Boys

This past weekend we gathered our family for a celebration in honor of both my boys. It was quite the event as Ben experienced cake, on his own, and opened his presents. He's such a clean, tidy little boy that he never did dig right into his cake, but rather he ate the coconut trim for a while and then very carefully picked at the cake with just two fingers. At one point he even made sure he ate the crumbs out of his bib pocket before moving on to his next piece of cake. The messiest point came when he decided to squish all the crumbs and icing around on his tray with both hands. He seemed to enjoy himself, which was why the cake was made.

Now that he is a year old we were finally "allowed" to cut his hair. This was quite an event as Dave and I tried to be careful not to butcher our son's do. We did learn that giving him Cheerios, while cutting, makes the process go soooo much smoother, but Ben seems to roll with the punches and was very patient with us, thankfully.

Hope you enjoy the photos!!!
