Dyllan- You are growing up so fast! Look at you- a whopping 27.2 lbs. and a big ball of energy!
You now know the Alphabet and how to use your "big girl potty" and even how to change your own pull up ( although going potty every 2 min is becoming a new thing- I think you just want a treat..) you love to sing- bah bah black sheep ( sometime sung aggressively!) is your favorite song and the Abcs are a close second.
You love hanging out with Frankie and Belle- and will be sad when they return to the UK in less than a month.
You have figured out how to get taller- by lugging your chair or stool around the house. You love helping out in the kitchen- cakes, muffins, unpacking the dishwasher.. You have figured out how to help yourself to things from the fridge. You enjoy lighting fires in the fireplace with dad- and at night your favorite prebed routine includes "cooking" in the shower ( muffin tins, banana bread tin, a spoon and plastic food and a "wiggles party in your mouth" ( brushing your teeth with your wiggles toothpaste).
You're still sleeping in your crib- but only cause your mom and dad haven't gotten around to converting your crib to a bed. Might have to soon though- because moms tummy is getting too big to bend over and scoop you out of your crib.
You love eating- and are still a great eater. Your favorite foods are strawberries, pickles, kiwis, chicken, salad and sushi! Of course you love your sweets too- m and ms ( and picking out a color from your candy jar for going potty) , cookies with dad on Saturdays after your swim, and muffins and cakes that you make with Yunny on Tuesday's.
You love stickers! Especially the ones off fruits. You got an apple sticker stuck up your nose the other day- which took several hours and a bloody nose to finally get out! Hah.
You repeat everything! You made us laugh so hard when you grabbed my chin- and said in a stern voice "look at me...( then pointed your pointer finger at me) NO!" for doing something you thought was naughty.
You still love to dance- you are into all music. When music stops you are genuinely concerned.
Your favorite animal is still a horse- you light up when you see one on tv- and are constantly saying giddiup to your toy horses. You also love dogs.
You seem excited to be having a baby sister- although I don't think you fully understand what is around the corner. Your teachers at daycare say that you are always looking after the baby dolls- tucking them into their beds, feeding them. You love seeing baby's- and look forward to visits at Bushy and Stacy's- cause you get to see "bubba Finn".
You are into everything. You especially love mom and dads night stand drawers, CDs, books, and anything in the kitchen.
Your hair is starting to finally grow- although it looks more like your growing 1 lonely dreadlock in the back..
You are the best- you keep you mom and dad on their toes and you're non stop entertainment. Keep laughing and dancing little bug!

24 weeks- its a GIRL!!
Well, we just couldn't wait any longer. Last week we decided to find out the sex of this little baby... and it's a GIRL! We were both convinced that it was a boy because this pregnancy has been so different from the last.. but that just goes to show.. it doesn't mean a different sex.
Dyllan is very excited to have a sister- and we are so excited to have another girl!!
| I know this looks creepy, but thought I would post the 3-D photo from our last visit anyway. Although it looks like an alien- its cool how you can see the little features- little nose, lips, chin.. |

Dyllan's First Pet: Sticker
Yesterday we went to the pet shop to get Dyllan a fish. She was so excited! She looked at all the fish- then picked out this goggly eyed orange one. She couldn't wait to hold him... so we let her carry him as we did the grocery shopping. I am surprised the little guy made it home in one piece with all the banking around he got.
When we got to the car we asked Dyllan what she wanted to name her fish. Without hesitation she squealed "Sticker!". That may have had something to do with the fact that she had a sticker on her hand..? So Sticker it is..

Celebrating mom in Newcastle
Sunday marked the 2 year anniversary of moms passing away.
Dan was so thoughtful and decided to surprise me after work on Saturday with the car all packed up ready to get away- something spontaneous and to soak up the sun- just what mom would have loved!
We drove up the coast 2 hours to Newcastle beach. Somewhere that mom and I spent time together. She had come to visit me while I was studying abroad in 2004.
What a great way to celebrate mom and her life. I miss her every day- but it's times like these that make me so thankful for having her in my life- she taught me how to live life to its fullest- and enjoy every moment.

21.5 weeks
Feeling good this week- well except for my allergies which I can't really do anything about but lay down cause I cant take my allergy medicine.
My energy is probably half back- I go to the gym a few days a week but my effort is pretty pathetic. Oh well.. At least I'm going, right?
Been craving taco bell ( weirdly- cause I never ate it much apart from 2 am drive thru runs in college?!)- and carbs carbs carbs.. Trying to not give in as easily- since I don't have "nauseous" as an excuse for doughnuts and pizza anymore..
I've still been super tired- starting to wonder if I should get my iron level or thyroid tested?! Doesn't seem normal to be this tired all the time! I can't remember being so tired with Dyllan.. Then again I didn't have a 2 1/2 yr old to chase around then either..
That's all to update for now.. Still don't know if it's a boy or girl- although I REALLY wanna find out now that we've decided not to ( go figure)!
