DOROTHY: TAKE 2

So here is "Dorothy 2" I've already apologized to her and told her now that she is in our hands, her time is probably short. That's what she gets for being the prettiest fish at Meijers!

SNOW FUN

This is my favorite tree in our yard. I'm so nervous it's going to snap. I don't want to lose this one!

After our snow fun, we made some Snow Ice Cream. It actually was really good!

Preston & Daddy adding the vanilla.

Once Preston spotted the airplane, I couldn't get his attention.

Yes, the purple mittens are back this year. I bought him brown gloves, but he screamed when I put them on, so back to the girlie mittens.

Messy, but beautiful! Preston got a chance to enjoy his birthday present, a sled.

BABY KIST CHECK UP

Last week, Baby Kist had a check up. He/She is doing well! I've seen so many specialists lately, it was nice to be surrounded by "normal" pregnant ladies. It certainly eases my anxiety a little. We heard a beautiful little heartbeat. It still brings tears to my eyes that this has finally happened for us. We finally mentioned something to Preston about their being a baby in mommy's belly. He just looked at us like we were crazy and moved on :) What can we expect from a 2 year old!

DON'T TELL PRESTON...

I already killed off Dorothy :( I was warned to clean out her bowl every week, but it just didn't look dirty, so I waited and then she croaked on me. I told Preston she was sleeping. That's the great thing about 2 year olds, they'll believe anything you tell them. We are on a mission to replace "Dorothy" before he questions where she is!

KEVUM!

Preston continues to make us laugh about something new everyday! He has figured out that when "Dada' doesn't work, he can yell "Kevum" to get his Daddy's attention. It's so funny, it works!

2 YEAR CHECK UP

Yesterday Preston had his 2 year check up. He did a great job for the doctor until he gets to his least favorite part, the part where he has to lie down, he knows nothing good happens when he has to lie back! Poor guy, but only 1 shot. He was a trooper. As expected, he continues to be our "little giant!" He was 90% in height and 70% in weight for his age percentile. He's a busy little guy!

3+ 1 = 4

Kevin, Preston & I are thrilled to announce that we will be growing to a family of four in August. We are so excited to meet the special little guy/girl that God has so carefully chosen for us. Thank you so much to our family & friends who have been praying for us. We will keep you posted on Baby Kist. I think Preston will make an excellent big brother!
