Helping Daddy!
William loves his daddy and loves helping him out!
Helping daddy work outside...
do his homework...
and push the cart!
22 Months!
On October 6th William was 22 months!
William is such a joy to be around! He's so sweet and happy most of the time. He is starting to talk more and more. A few things he says, "Here you go!", "uh-oh," "pa" (paci), "pop" (Popsicle), "eeese" (please), "cheese," "purple," "car," "ball," "quack-quack," "boo-boo." He also loves pointing out animals and doing their sounds. A few of his favorites are to roar like a dinosaur, and trumpet like an elephant (using his hand as a trunk of course).
Here's a few things he's been up to lately...
playing music!
watching TV
cuddling with mommy
playing at the park
driving cars
looking sharp at church
being silly
being mad
and stealing Daddy's Oreos!
We love you William!
34 Weeks & Fall Family Pictures
We were so excited to meet Sarah and have some family/maternity pictures made at the Rose Garden in Raleigh. She was able to get so many great shots even though William was not cooperating. He fell asleep in the car on the way to Raleigh, and was pretty grouchy for the whole shoot, but Sarah is amazing and managed to catch the few smiles he had. Here are quite a few of my favorites. Make sure to checkout her website! http://sarahelaine.com/?p=652
Thank you Sarah! We can't wait to see you again when Baby Elliott arrives!
Sewing Project
So, when I found out I was having another boy, I decided to put them in the same room and make them matching crib bedding. I know this was an ambitious project - not only do I work a lot, but I hadn't used a sewing machine in since my early teens. Well, I went for it anyway. I borrowed a sewing machine (thank you Cecilia!), and purchased all my fabric. I actually didn't buy any patterns, but used tutorials that I found on the internet (the links are posted at the end of this post). After many weeks, I finally finished! I made crib bumpers, sheets, crib skirts, and blankets...for two cribs! William of course wanted to help me every chance he got - which meant I had to do most of my sewing after he went to bed :)
Here's the finished product!
33 Weeks - 3D ultrasound
At 33 weeks, David, William and I got to see Baby Elliott through 3d ultrasound! It is amazing how clear the pictures are - and it was a lot of fun to try to see who he looks like the most! Elliott was really great during the ultrasound. He was moving a lot! Even the technician said she couldn't believe how much he was moving - she could see my stomach moving out of the corner of her eye. He did have his hands around his face a lot, but not so bad that we couldn't get good pictures. We got to see him smile and yawn! The technician also took his measurements, and turns out he was measuring 2 weeks ahead! She said he is already over 5 1/4 pounds. William was also measuring 2 weeks ahead when we had his 3d ultrasound. So, we're waiting to see if he'll be early like William, or just a big baby :)
