The kids

Max sure loves his daddy. Mike gets quite the greeting every time he walks in the door. Although, I can't say I mind him favoring daddy...he usually insists that daddy put him back to bed in the middle of the night. And lately, he seems to wait and do his #2 business until daddy is home and then he insists that daddy changes him! I have him well trained.

A couple of days ago, Mike was laying down on the floor and Max asked, "Want to go night-night daddy?" Then he went and got him a pillow and cuddled up right next to him. He is definitely our little cuddle-bug. He would sleep in the middle of us every night if we would allow it, but so far, that's against the rules in our home. But if we ever lay by him for a few minutes, he puts his head right next to ours, sometimes holds your hand, or sometimes puts his arm around you. It's pretty cute. He discovered something new on his body this week...he refers to them as his "buttons" on his chest...he's quite fascinated with them.





Here is our "eskimo Caleb". We did a "warming up" theme in Primary so when we got home he dressed himself in this gear. He is now prepared to live in Chicago! It actually hasn't been quite as cold lately, thankfully.



We passed yet one more ultrasound with flying colors. The baby's head is measuring in 3 weeks ahead of schedule...oh dear. I wouldn't mind if that slowed down a bit. :) They want to induce labor around 39 weeks, so that means only 5 weeks to go! I was actually hoping to start on my own for once, so it would be great if something happened around the 38 week mark. We'll see. We're pretty excited to see our little girl. And the docs have given the a-ok for Mike to deliver her!

Max is such a cutie! And I cracked up at the picture of Caleb. It almost doesn't look like his body or something. It's so cute!

Amazing that Mike will be delivering your baby...Go Mike! Glad to hear another successful week passed!

My kids are always average size, except for the head... 90th percentile. I blame Daniel:) I'm glad that all is going well with the pregnancy and I'm excited to see that new little one! P.S. Mike and Max are so cute!
