36 Weeks

In +/- 4 weeks we will be meeting our second baby boy. I am starting to get really excited about what he will look like, how it will feel to have my heart (love) expand again, how his brother will treat him, and just the whole idea of being a family of 4. Lately I have found the best time to think about all of this is at 3am; B2 starts kicking and we lay there together thinking about all the excitement that is about to happen.
Until he arrives here is what my body is looking like these days:

Loving the Tub

Sorry for the blurriness, but you can still see the super happy smile on PJs face.  We have a tub at our new house; we didn't have one in our temporary house.  PJ is so happy about this fact he got in and started playing with his toys before we even added water or undressed him.  Yeah new house!

Chillin' at Home Depot

We have been in our new house for less than 24 hours and already at Home Depot.  PJ and G-Ma entertained themselves while we tried to get everything on our list.

Best Neighbors

We move into the new house today!  This lovely package was sitting on our front porch when we arrived and turned our keys for the first time.  What a lovely surprise!  Thank you new neighbors ;)

Train Day

Today we went to the Pacific Science Center at Seattle Center to check out their special Train Expo.  There were train exhibits mixed in trhough out hte science museum, which spaced out the big crowds of people.  PJ got to see little tiny model trains to larger trains, some moving on the track, others on display, all of it totally fascinating.  He  had to wear a bib, due to his slack jaw of awe, which created quite a bit of drool.  The favorite part of the day was building train cars with legos.  PJ and Daddy had so much fun, we will definitely be getting Legos for PJ's 2nd birthday.

He was in such awe he couldn't even hold the button down to make it move.

Long Johns

We went snowshoeing today with Rizwan and Amanda, which means we had to break out all sorts of layers for PJ to stay warm in the backpack.  One of his layers are these adorable long johns that a german friend gave to us.

Seattle Aquarium

We had Auntie Amanda and Uncle Riz visit us from San Francisco this weekend.  Auntie and Uncle don't have much time with toddlers so we thought it would be fun to show them a tourist attraction through a toddlers' eyes.  PJ loved seeing the octopus, lots of "WOW!" and slack jaw amazement at everything we saw.  We spent a lot of time touching the sea urchins, starfish and sea cucumbers.  PJ was fascinated by all of it, but didn't touch that much.  He preferred telling Daddy what to touch. 

Train Book

PJ has been obsessed with trains since Christmas.  We have been reading the same train book at bedtime for over 10 days, so I ordered a few more train books.  PJ was so excited by the new arrivals, he climbed into the box and started reading them.  Along with making "Choo-Choo" sounds, which you can see from the puckered face in the picture.

Reading A Magazine

Today we watched the Seahawks attempt a playoff win at Uncle Jake and Aunt Tashi's house.  PJ did a great job letting Daddy watch the entire game.  He chased nerf gun ammo for a good hour, and then he explored Uncle Jake's magazine collection.  The Popular Mechanics was so interesting with all the cool vehicles in it that PJ actually sat down and seriously inspected all the pages. 

SOLD!

We are so close to signing the papers and moving into our new house.  Our new neighbors sent this picture, which made us even more excited for this big life change!
