Aunt Ottie and Baby #2

Aunt Ottie (Sue) came home to visit over the Wisconsin/Iowa game...Iowa Won!! Here are a few pictures of Slade and ottie (That is what he calls her). They had a good time together and I think Slade was unhappy to see her go. He kept telling Tom and I "Aunt Ottie nigh nigh".

On another note...I figured that I better start giving everyone updates on Baby #2. I had my 34 week appt (2 weeks ago) and Ultra Sound and baby number two weighed in at 6lbs 2oz and 19 inches long. I am assuming that I am going to have another large baby. The C-Section has been scheduled for 11/23 at 7:30am.

Santa Mickey

So Tom took Slade to Lowe's this morning to give me a little time to do somethings around the house. I was hoping that I would have about 45 minutes to do laundry, pick up and clean. Well about 10 minutes after they left, I started receiving text messages from Tom saying that Slade found a Mickey toy and that he was carrying it around the store. 5 minutes later, I received another text asking me how to get Slade out of the store without Mickey....5 minutes later I received another text saying that Tom had given up and that he was going to purchase the Mickey. When they got home, I could see why Tom gave up. Slade has yet to put the giant plush Santa Mickey down. Mickey has now become our 4th member of our family. Mickey had to do everything Slade did including diaper changes, playing toys, lunch (Yes, I literally had to feed this giant plush Mickey a sandwich and Apple Sauce), Snack and Dinner (apparently Mickey thinks that Maidrites are yummy). Mickey even slept with Tader but only for about 30 minutes b/c what I forgot to mention is that this Mickey sings Christmas Carols....Well he sings 1 Carol, over and over and over again. While Slade was sleeping we kept hearing "deck the halls" until Tom finally went in there and snatched the giant annoying singing plush toy of death from Slade's crib.

Here are some pictures of Slade and his new best friend....Sorry Grandpa!

Mickey even had to each Lunch, Snack and Dinner with us. BTW, this is my chair...I got bounced for a plush toy!

Favorites

I know that I haven't written much in awhile but it has been hard to find the time. Slade has grown so much from my last blog....He has been talking up a storm and now rules the house. A few new things in the last few months.

His favorite words are:
Baby Burrito (when we wrap him up after his bath)
Boat (which he says like a Canadian)
Mickey Done (when his cartoon ends)
Daddy No (for about everything tom does, even if Slade asked him to do it)
My Daddy (anytime he wants tom to do something)...This is followed by the previous sentence.
sit, sit (which he says when we are not next to him at all times)
Football (whenever football is on, which is all the time)
MOMMY (which he screams at the top of his lungs 24 hours a day)
Grandpa (every time he sees a phone b/c he wants to call grandpa)
I running - while he is running around the basement in a circle
it broke - when he thinks that something is broken

Favorite Animals:
Ducky's
Turtle (Sounds so cute when he says this)
Doggie or puppy

Favorite thing to do:
Play the night night game, where he pretends to be asleep and we beat or tickle him.
Play with trucks or his train set
Run around the house and hit a balloon with the golf clubs aunt Marla got him last year.
Throw a football around
Give kisses, he is a charmer.
Read his ducky book (over and over and over and over again)
Anything to do with bubbles. We started giving him bubble baths and now he refuses to get out of the tub.

Here are a few video's that we have taken over the last few weeks

Slade learned how to jump (sort of)
