Number 2

The number 2 seems to be a common theme in our house right now. To start, we found out in October that we will be welcoming our second child in July, and this past Thursday we learned that it will be a baby girl! Eric and I had both convinced ourselves that Mac would be getting a little brother so we were very surprised when we saw a little girl on the screen. Then again, we were also confident that Mac was going to be a girl. And of course, she has already manged to aquire 3 cute litte outfits since then. We've already agreed on 2 name choices so now it's just a matter of picking one, which means we are way ahead of where we were in terms of naming her big brother. Now it's on to decorating and organizing. I can't wait!

The "2" theme continues as our little boy has somehow turned into a big boy, having just celebrated his 2nd birthday yesterday. I have no idea where the last 2 years have gone. He has definently started to assert his independence. He likes to push his own stroller, climb into his own chair, and I'm pretty sure he bosses the dog around even though I have no idea what he's saying half the time. Elmo is the man of the hour in our house, and after his party yesterday, I'm pretty sure he has every Elmo related item ever made! We actually had 2 parties; one for the kids in the morning, and one for the family at night. It was a very long and tiring day, but worth every minute of it to see such a happy little boy.

So the plan is to give this whole blogging thing another try...hopefully weekly posts? We'll see how it goes!

Here are a few pictures of our sweet baby girl and Mac's birthday party:
