We went to the doctor today and got "The" Ultra- sound. I had a healthy dose of mother's intuition the whole pregnancy that this little one is a girl. So I was pleased to see a certain body part missing. She looks healthy and growing well. Dave will soon come to grips that his football team of strapping boys will be delayed.
I need to start preparing myself for the color pink and girly moodiness which (most of the time) is foreign to our household.
We just got back from a great spontaneous trip to Illinois. Jensen did pretty good on the 22 hour drive. And It was very worth it to see a lot of Dave's family and Celeste, and of course "Wicked".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENSEN!

Jensen turned one yesterday and we had a little party for him. A bunch of people from the block came over and gave Jensen some cool toys and a swimming suit! I have been very guarded in giving Jensen sugar but the gloves came off on his birthday.

He was confused about what everyone was singing about and the fire on his highchair tray.
But he soon found the spirit of the occasion and found he liked his cupcake so much two handing it wasn't enough he had to go in with his face too.

He loved the cupcake and we loved the sugar buzz he was on for the rest of the day.Oh, and I let him have some cupcake batter too. I think he likes chocolate.

Jensen and I have been having fun. Im staying busy babysitting our next door neighbor's boy Ivan. Then boys play well together and Ivan is really easy to entertain. Here are some cute pictures of them.
