Oh Scout...

I swear by the time my kids are done with baths and have moved onto showers I will have taken a million pictures of them at bath time. Not sure why I always grab my camera when the kids are naked...oh well. Anyways last night was "gay night" for the boys (which is when Aren and David head over to Alex's house with some other guys to make dinner together, drink wine, and play board games) so the littles and I went to my mom and dad's for dinner and baths. Every picture I took of Scout is hilarious (or at least it is to me).

Here's the first one...

 

And the second...

 

Here he is trying to attach my camera. Note his chipped tooth.

His hands remind me of a puppy dog's paws, a little too big in comparison to the rest of his body :)
 

"Like whatever..." or "OMG mom!" is what I imagine him saying here...

 

 

My personal favorite...

 

There's my sweet boy :)

 

And one awesome picture of Mila....

It has been quite the week!

1. Got my hair trimmed on Thursday and while Megan was waxing my eyebrows I passed out! (Sorry Megan!) Not sure why it happened, I'm thinking the little man was laying on something inside of me that was cutting of blood/oxygen to my head :) I survived and my brows look great!

2. On Friday I cleaned my house. I was waiting to clean it until after the bathroom was finished, it felt so good to mop the floor! I can't believe how disgusting the water was from mopping. I used two Mr. Clean Magic Erasers in Mila's room, it's amazing the places she decides to create "art" in that room!

3. Still haven't moved on the nursery. The bedding is here and I got a cute light at Ikea this weekend but it is still full of the furniture I had when I was in high school.

4. Sarah, Mary, and I finally went to Seattle for our belly photo/eating/shopping extravaganza! So so so so much fun! We left Wenatchee at 7 am Saturday morning, made it to the U Village around 10am for some shopping at CrewCuts, baby gap, and some other neat-o mommy/baby stores. Then we headed downtown where Mary snapped this fine piece of photography as a joke. It's my fave for sure!

After changing clothes and pumping (for Murry), we went and did a little more shopping and eating and then down to pike place for some belly photos.

 

 Followed by more eating and a dip in the not so hot hot tub. The next morning we were up at six for round to of photos at GasWorks but not before we had some amazing pancakes and crappy service at breakfast.

 
 

 After standing barefoot in goose poop (and Mary laying in it), changing in front of various families, runners, and homeless people, and freezing our asses off it was finally time to head home :( But not before we stopped at Ikea and Southcenter :) Such a fun weekend and I am so lucky to have such a talented friend, such a gift to have these pictures of my pregnant self for the last time! Thank you thank you thank you Mary! And Sarah for being such a wonderful assistant :)

5. While we were in Seattle David was home with the kiddos. I'm very proud of him for keeping them all weekend without any help, unlike some other husbands I know...ahem Aren and Justin :) He even went grocery shopping and took them to Target, way to go Davey cakes!

6. I have my 36 week appointment tomorrow! Soooo excited to see if I'm dilated, well not excited for the exam part of it because let's face it, that is just not fun. Hopefully this little guy makes his debut sometime after next week. Hoping to be further than 37 weeks but not all the way to 40.

7. Is it bad that I want to wear nothing but black leggings every single day? The thought of putting jeans on makes me cringe :( I wish I could wear my pj's to work.

8. It is snowing right now. Looks like a snow globe out there.

9. I think it's time I get organized. After I do the new babe's nursery I think I will get our bags packed for the hospital, you know, start the "nesting" process.

10. Time for a Diet Coke. I need to wake up.

1. Our little Scout is a walker! About a month ago he took his first steps and he hadn't progressed much until this last weekend. Crawling is still his main form of transportation but he can walk until something trips him. He can also stand up by himself (without pulling up on something). Big feat for our little guy!

2. Our bathroom is almost done. Finally. Mila took a bath in the tub last night, still no toilet but the sink and shower work. All that's left to do is decorate, install the toilet, and seal the grout and tile. I am loving the way it turned out, especially the vanity/sink/mirror area. My dad spray painted the original light fixture and a cool mirror they weren't using which happened to fit perfectly between the walls. We kept the original cabinet and just tiled over the top of it and put a new sink in, sanded, painted, and put on new pulls. It looks brand new! Very impressed with papa's reno. skills :)

3. I just check on the UPS website and it looks like Baby's bedding is in Wenatchee and out for delivery! So excited to start on the nursery! This is the set I ordered

I was trying to stay away from brown because I wanted to do mostly gray in the room (walls). But this has brown and gray and a bunch of other colors to use for accents.

4. 35 weeks tomorrow. When I walk it feels like I'm doing the splits. I've never actually done the splits so that might be a bad comparison, let's just say I want this little guy out of me :)

5. Scout can give kisses. Grandma taught him. He is so sweet, definitely my favorite child. Just kidding :)

6. Three more days until our little Seattle girls weekend! Hopefully the passes aren't too bad. We may be bringing some sort of baby delivery safety kit with us in case I go into labor ;)

7. Mila went to a birthday party this last weekend. She pretty much whined the entire time.

8. Scout is done with baby food and on to the good stuff (what the rest of the family is eating). He usually eats more than Mila but that's not surprising since their weight difference is getting smaller and smaller. And in 24 days he's getting cut off from bottles! I can't wait...just in time to start the new baby on them :)

9. Here is a picture of the bathroom.

10. Nothing else to report. Other than Hank got a new dog bed. He's pretty excited about it :) woof!
