Jammin'

Alex found Bill's headphones and decided to wear them around to listen to music.  He was jammin'...even though the headphones weren't plugged in.

Fun Pictures

A couple weeks ago Alex and I took a trip to see my parents, Grammy & Paw Paw for the weekend. He had a great time playing with play dough, climbing the stairs and spending time with Grammy & Paw Paw.  Of course, we made it back home without getting any pictures of Alex with them but we did manage to get one of him in his pj's with Elmo... 



 

Shopping for Big Boy Bedding

With Baby Girl on the way, we decided to transition Alex in to a Big Boy Bed.  Basically, we took the front of the crib off so it looks like a daybed.  He will eventually move to Tyler's room and his full size bed and Tyler will move to the guest room.  Alex has been pretty good about going to sleep at night in his bed but nap times are horrendous at home.  He will not lay down or stay in his room for naps during the weekend.  Naps at school are not a problem.  SO, I decided to take Alex to Target to shop for Big Boy bedding.  It was clear that he was interested in all the sheets but he liked the train sheets (Thomas the Train, although he doesn't know who Thomas is) but they didn't have full size sheets in Thomas.  Alex didn't seem to really care about picking out sheets because his focus quickly shifted to "hiding" in the shelves.  He moved sleeping bags out of the way so he could "hide".  The other moms in the aisle loved this!  I thought it was pretty cute so I took a picture.  Needless to say, we didn't end up with any Big Boy bedding...that will have to be conquered another day.

Baby Girl Pictures

Pink or Blue?

Ten little fingers, ten little toes
Two little eyes, one little nose
One little mouth, two little ears
We hope this poem will bring lots of cheers.

So is it pink or is it blue
We think its time that you all knew.

The ultrasound technician searched while the baby turned
With her next three words here’s what we learned.
She told us then we should start to think
About filling the nursery with lots of pink.

We are expecting Baby GIRL King to arrive the end of January 2013!
I will post a few some of the latest ultrasound pictures later. 

First Professional Haircut

Alex had his first professional haircut on Saturday.  I was really nervous because he never sits still when I trim his hair...but he did a wonderful job!  He immediately ran to the train table when we got there and after a few minutes it was his turn.  He followed the stylist and climbed right in to the seat.  The seat was a red fire truck with a spinning steering wheel.   He drove the fire truck, watched "Finding Nemo" and charmed the pants off all the ladies.  He had such a good time that I had to pull him from the seat.  He is becoming such a big boy!

Madame Zaritska Preditction

Madame Zaritska (whoever she is) predicts how your birth experience will be along with gender, weight and baby's features. Here's my results after answering a few questions:


The day you deliver, outside will be hazy. Your baby will arrive in the late evening. After a labor lasting approximately 5 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 5 pounds, 5 ounces, and will be 20 inches long. This child will have light gray eyes and some black hair


This prediction doesn't sound too bad to me!  We will see if she's right.  We may get to find out if Madame Zaritska prediction on the baby's sex is right on the 23rd.
