Yesterday we had dinner with Rebecca, John & Ava who is 5 months old. Sophie got a kick out of her and I think Ava was pretty entertained too.
We had our 20 week check-up and anatomy scan on Thursday and found out we’re expecting another girl! Everything looks good and I’m feeling great. We’re excited to have another girl, and Sophie is semi-excited about the little sister. We’ll work on it… Here are a few pictures.
Well, the song is right: No more monkeys jumping on the bed. On Monday night Sophie was jumping on our bed, fell off, and hit her mouth on the bed side table. Her lip was split and her front teeth were missing, so I rushed her to the emergency room. After several x-rays they discovered that her teeth had actually been knocked back up into her gums. She also needed to get 3 stitched in her lip. She was a real trooper through the whole ordeal. She was out of school all this week and is healing well. Her lip is much better, swelling is going down, and it looks like she won’t need any oral surgery – apparently it’s very likely that the teeth will come back down on their own.
Grandma made the big move into my parent’s house the weekend we visited. She’s set up in my old room, and it looks great. It’s been a tough move for everyone, but she’ll be settled in soon. And of course, Jill is back at home again…
Last weekend we all drove up to Newport, RI to see the America’s World Cup World Series. They were racing right off the land, and Dave really wanted to go see it up close. Sophie and I hung out in the town and visited the racing a few times.
We are very excited to announce that we are expecting baby #2 in December! My due date is December 27th (for which I’m sure this child will forever resent us). I’m feeling good and just starting to show. Here are a few pics from our 12 week appointment. The 16 week appointment will be next week, and there’s a chance we’ll find out the sex. We’re all very excited, especially Sophie who has been carrying around her toys calling them her new little baby (we’ll see if she’s so gentle with the real thing).
It’s hard to believe, but the school year has almost come to an end! Next week will be the last week of regular school for Sophie, then she heads to Virginia for a week with Nana and PapPap and then she’ll begin the summer program. Here are a few shots that her teachers took from the last month at Greene Towne School.
The primary school recently hatched some chicks and the toddlers got to go up and visit with them. Here’s Sophie looking in with Rachel.
On Memorial Day Erin and I took Sophie & Vivian to Sesame Place. It was the first time any of us were there. Despite the scorching hot weather, it was a lot of fun.
Our favorite ride was the teacups (which I think was my favorite ride as a kid too). We got spinning really fast and the girls loved it.
Sophie’s love of trampolines was found on this enormous bouncer. She had a blast, but unfortunately wasn’t allowed to stay in there for too long. We’ll have to get a small trampoline for our house sometime soon.
Not realizing that it was also a water park, I didn’t bring a bathing suit, but it didn’t stop Sophie from jumping in in her clothes (yes, she was that kid). Luckily I did bring a change of clothes. Vivan of course was looking quite the bathing beauty in her suit.
And the only character we got to see was Grover – not Sophie’s favorite, but still worth getting together with for a picture.
