I can't believe it's my birthday!

Happy Birthday to Baby Tartlett!

Twinsies

Nothing else like this kind of love...

Ok enough.  I will start this blog up again!  Sorry for the looooooooooooooong absence but as you can see by the new header and subsequent posts, the Pies have been busy becoming parents!  I think we have a handle on it but Baby Tartelett doesn't talk yet so we shall see!

What a hunk (or a chunk)!

At 10 months old, he is doing the following:
- Crawling at a very fast rate
- Pulling himself up to standing position and letting go of 1 arm
- Can stand without holding on to something for 2-3 seconds (laughs when he does!)
- Sleeps from 9 pm - 6 (or if we are lucky, 7) pm

He eats like no other - this kid can power through!  Although he is also very good at knowing when he is full, clamping his mouth and shaking his head.  He also has 2 full bottom teeth and 4 top half teeth where they broke through.  Handles his teething like a champ and drools only from time to time.

Here are his 9 month stats because we don't get another doctor visit (or shots!) until his 1 year check up.
20 lbs, 3 oz
29 inches long (who's the Mom??)

Who is this dream kid?  We are so blessed and lucky.  I can't wait to fill his big head with it when he's older. 

What are you having? I’ll have the shrimp cocktail… (Original post date 6/25/12)

34 weeks today! I’m feeling good except the back is starting to hurt and I feel like I’m going to tip over at any moment. Also, stairs? Not my dearest friends. The baby shower is this coming Sunday and I can’t be even more excited for that! Baby boy is loved loved loved already (as apparent in his closet full of clothes already!).

The nursery is done! We just need a crib mattress, some bedding and we’re good to go! The baby will be sleeping his bassinet for the first 3 months so no rush there. We only have 42 more days! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…

We’re 30 weeks now people! Here’s a look at my bumpity bump.

Cute? Big? Still surreal and odd to me. We’re making good progress here though – baby boy has been kickin’ it. Oh and what’s that you say? The nursery looks like it’s made progress too! I’m in my nesting mode now. Must.have.it.done.soon. My baby will not be sleeping in a drawer! Also, this week, the dogs care immensely.
In other news, we have narrowed the names down to 6 with a very big gap between the top 2 and the rest of the pack. Stay tuned!

Hon, what do you think? Beehive or Chicken Coop? (Original post date 5/17/12)

Have I mentioned how funny my baby daddy is? Because he is. He’s hilarious.

Here we are at 27 weeks! We are now in 3rd trimester people. Try not to fall over with too much excitement. Baby boy is growing and growing. 2nd tri came and went quickly so I hope the same for 3rd. Or not. I love my sleep!

24 weeks - 6 months!! (Original post date 4/16/12)

We have officially crossed the 6 month mark! I wish I could tell you that time is flying but August does still seem forever away. I can’t wait to meet our little son and hold him safely in my arms. Here’s a pic for you – you can see the bump is a bumpin’ and the nursery is almost getting there. We just have to take a “few” storage boxes out to the garage and rearrange some of the existing furniture. Also, add a crib, glider and a baby and make an instant family. I thought the pic was pretty funny considering all 3 dogs are in there. By the way, they were just chasing each other a minute before the pic and this is their time out/rest before the chase ensued again. You can see Peanut in the doorway, waiting to chase again!
