Lord help us

It's a girl!

I had another ultrasound yesterday because the doctor didn't see everything she wanted to see in the first ultrasound, and also the baby is a bit on the small side, so she wanted to check her growth. The big news is, the technician says it's a girl! And the good news is, though small, she is growing and appears to be developing normally.

Only 3 months to go! And so much to get done...sewing projects...finding a spot for the baby in Brett's room...Christmas shopping... After last year, I'm determined to be ready for Christmas before the baby arrives!

Brett has been such an easy going happy baby. But I have a feeling we will have our work cut out for us in the years to come. I've started to have to use my firm voice. With the sternest "no" I can muster up, he looks at me and laughs. And check out his social skills...

We are excited to see him making progress toward crawling!

Still no teeth!

Still working on learning to crawl, but manages to go everywhere. Can go from sitting to crawling position.

Can pick up a cherrio with his thumb and pointer, but rarely makes it into his mouth.

Always moving and babbling!
