April's Update

   I am almost half way through this pregnancy!!! The thought that there will be two little munchkins to take care of scares me A LOT! I feel that there's not enough time in a day to take care of one, so to add another helpless human being is going to mean many changes to my (our) lifestyle: less/no sleep, mess(ier) house, only occasional showers, and the list goes on...I keep telling myself it is all worth it, right?

   At 19 weeks along I am finally starting to feel better - this is much later than with Bailey. I say it is because of Boo, and that she drains all my energy - in a good way, of course. I tell you what, a parent cannot ask for a better child! Bay is just awesome! She's loving, funny, caring, outgoing, easygoing, easy to please, and the list goes on and on. We have been telling her there's a baby in mommy's belly, I don't know if she understands what it means for her, but I've noticed she plays with her big animals and dolls differently. She feeds them, brushes their teeth, and tries to put diapers on them.

   Since the last update walking became Bailey's primary way of getting around, and I should say not only walking but running also. Favorite toys are still books and Bo. The new thing Bay likes to do is to built forts. Our dining room chairs are bar-height, so she climbs under them with pillows and blankets and hides in her "house". She  likes to take her doggy or bear with her in there, and then she's telling them things in her own language - very entertaining to watch! Balls are another new amusement. Boo likes to throw and/or kick them. The kicks are good - we say it's because she watches Dora, but the throws usually go in an opposite direction of her intent.

Latest stats/updates:
Sleep: 11 hours and night, 2-3 hours split in 2 naps during the day
Favorite Food: cheese, beans, sweet peas
Favorite Cartoon: Dora the Explorer (Thanks grandma Judy for our new favorite Dora pillow)
Favorite Words: No, Dog/Doggy, Daddy, Uh-Oh, Oooohhh, Tigger, Tickle, and Shhhhh  
Bay knows how to show: eyes, nose, teeth, cheeks, ears, forehead, belly button, and feet - all that in Russian only. Daddy is behind on teaching the English version

Jeremy had Good Friday off, so Bailey got to do some fun things with him

Shopping for a bike
How's this one, daddy?
Oh, I found THE one!

Learning to eat with chopsticks
Like a big girl
With full belly we can be silly now
