Baby pics, inside and out!

This is my "big huge belly" as Miriam calls it, at 6 months. And below is yet another ultrasound we had last week. Not a great picture but you can see the baby's profile a little bit. The baby was 28 weeks old at this ultrasound.

Baby's Picture

These pictures were taken at 20 weeks along. 

It was December 20th, sorry I'm just getting them on here.

Miriam's 3rd Birthday

 My baby's 3! I can hardly admit it. Where did the last 3 years go? For her birthday this year we decided not to have a party, just us. We went to see Tangled in the theater (the popcorn was the highlight for her), and we went to McDonalds for a happy meal and the PlayPlace. Then we came home and had cake and gifts. I think it was a pretty fun day. But this big news is... on her birthday she threw away her pacifiers! We decided that 3-year-olds are too big for binkies, so we warned her for a month or so that they would be thrown away on her birthday. And the deal was that when she threw them away she would finally be old enough to have gum! So we bought some fun kids gums and made a big deal out of that. It went well... until bedtime. LOL. But she's pretty much over it now. But now I find gum in frustrating places.

Christmas in Jan with the Bades

Grandma, cousin Olivia and Miriam

The Bade Family

 It's "climb-on-grandpa-o'clock"

Grace and Miriam had a little birthday party while we were there

Christmas in MN and MT

 We had 3 Christmases this year! It was wonderful! For the very first time we were able to do our own family Christmas and also see Jason's family AND my family! It was so refreshing to see everyone and get caught up on everyone's lives.

 This was the first year that Miriam knew what she wanted for Christmas and asked for it. She wanted a pillow pet more than words could say. And she flipped out when she opened it on Christmas. 

 Miriam and cousin Addison. Silly girls.

 We found out we are having a baby GIRL!
