Ah the wonder of Christmas lights.







Also, Gigi enjoying some activity and just waking up.

Christmas is in how many days ??







Wow. How time flies when you have two kids.

Noah learned to dress himself today. Of course, it was with one of my shirts (maybe that was easier)

I was also cleaning out my pantry the other day and Noah just had to help. Here he is moving all canned goods.

I'll have some pictures of Gigi up tomorrow.

Future Psychopath?


I don't know how well you can see this picture. Last night as Noah was playing with his "Little People" He deliberately set them all face down on his blanket. If I turned them over, he returned them to the face down position. I thought it was a little disturbing...

New Star makes her Debut

Gloria Kathleen Denmark was born on 11/9/05 at 11:03 am. She weighed in at 10 lbs 1 oz and 21.5 inches long. I had a very easy labor and she came quickly. We've been doing very well at home. Noah is adjusting better than I thought. He points to her and says "baby" all the time. He likes to sit down next to her and poke her nose and rub her head. He pulls us to her when she cries. The only jealousy we're seeing is that he wants to be held when we're holding her.
Here are a bunch of pictures.

For whom the bell tolls

Just a quick update. Spoke to the dr. yesterday afternoon. We're going in at 11:45 pm Tuesday night next week. She'll be born on the 9th, but it may be early in the morning. He said he couldn't get me in at any other time. Hopefully, it'll be nice to be done by the afternoon. Next update will probably be the baby update!

Now that's what I call progress

Good news from the doctor today. I did progress naturally. I am currently at 3-4 cm. Doc called the hospital to schedule my induction for next Wednesday, the 9th. I'm VERY happy with that date. It's superstitious, I know, but everyone in our little family has a birthday on a multiple of 9. Mine is Jan. 9, Noah's is Feb. 18 and Wally's is Jan. 27. So, if I get to choose which day my daughter is born, I'm going to go for the 9th. Now, she could still decide she wants to come out on her own earlier, and that's fine too. But holy cow! That's next week!! I feel like I have so much to do, but I'm not sure what I need to get done. I guess a clean house would be on the top of that list.
In other news, we had a great Halloween night last night. We put Noah in his costume and he helped pass out treats. Or rather, he ran up and down the sidewalks and one of us chased him. We just went to a couple of neighbors to get candy for him. He had got a boatload from daycare earlier that day. Here's some pics of the little dalmation having fun.

We can barely contain our excitement

He was running like this the whole night!

Noah, enjoying some candy before the wrapper is even off!

Progress naturally

I hate those words. I really wanted to have a schedule today. It would have made my life, well, scheduled. Which, when you have a toddler and sister who lives 45 minutes away that will take care of him, it would be easier to be scheduled. But, grumbling aside, she is still perfect. She's measuring more like she's 37 1/2 weeks. (I'm actually 36) and we're guessing around 7.2 pounds right now. He said that could vary either way, so she could be anywhere from 6.5 to 8 pounds. I'm only dilated about 1 cm. So, he wants to take a wait and see approach for right now and let me "progress naturally." I'm not sure what I expected. I guess I was really hoping that we'd say, ok on this day, we'll go to the hospital. But, I'm still under the impression from the doc that we will not go full term, or even to 39 weeks. Might be 38 or 38 1/2. I guess the overall word is "Stay Tuned for Coming Attractions..."

In other news, Noah has learned the word No and how to use it properly. But it's more like "Noo-oooo" whenever we do something he doesn't like. And he's proudly reaching his terrible twos tantrum phase. He cries and throws himself on the floor when he doesn't get his way. Too bad it doesn't bother us and he still doesn't get his way. Good thing is, this only happens at home right now. Oh boy is he in for it when Gloria arrives!

And just a few more that wouldn't fit

We're just outside our garage blowing bubbles and digging in the sand. The unfortunate end result of all this was a foray into a fire ant bed. This was about 2 weeks ago and his feet are just about cleared up.




More pics than I can handle


Here's Wally and I on one of our rare nights out alone at a friends wedding in September.











My little cuddle bug REALLY loves his blanket. He'll cuddle up with it anywhere, even if it's the kitchen.





Some Pics from my and Noah's trip to the Animal Kingdom in September.




Noah also loves the dishwasher and tries to "help" whenever he can.
