Update



It's been a busy few weeks! CJ is just amazing. This picutre is of CJ and Daddy at the top of the ferris wheel at the Delaware State Fair. We thought CJ would never want to go up, but Case said he ran right too it. He even went on several rides by himself. It's amazing to watch him branch out and be so brave.

This week he had his 3-year-old check-up and a visit with Dr. Correy his allergist. He did great at both. This was the first time he got to go on the big boy scale and get his height measured standing up. He even got his blood pressure checked, which he was pretty comfortable with since he's been watching Mama get it done at the baby check-ups. Everything looks good. Dr. Hill was impressed with his speech. He waighed in at 32 lbs and was 37 1/2" tall. She said he was perfect. LOL! Dr. Correy checked CJ again to see if we could possible allow him to try a peanut in the office to see the reaction. His test turned up that he was still too allergic to risk the try so we'll just keep avoiding nuts. He gave us a plan to give to CJ's new school.

CJ is very excited about school and can't wait to get started. He tells everyone that he is going in September. We'll be sure to take a few pictures on his first day. He is also getting really excited about going into Miss Karen's music class again.

Everything with the baby is going well. I'm almost 25 weeks! It's, of course, getting harder to sleep and due to the heat I've had some problems with swelling. Overall though, I am feeling good. We are getting really excited and just can't wait to find out the sex of the baby. We are scheduled for an ultrasound on Sept. 23so hopefully the baby will cooperate.

Hello from Philly

Hello and Happy Holidays from the City of Brotherly Love! Its almost New Year's resolution time and one of mine is to maintain a blog for all our of friends and family who don't get to see our little guy on a daily basis (and for those of you that do too). CJ is ready for Christmas- although Santa is not his favorite as you can see. I'm not sure who is worse at peeking at packages though, CJ or Casey. We were too excited to wait so we've had a Christmas tree up since the weekend after Thanksgiving. We kept the unbreakable ornaments on the lower part of the tree, which has been good since he likes to take them off and throw them to his daddy. He's so smart and observant. I'm just amazed by him. He loves to learn and seems (to me) to be very mechanically minded since he can unscrew or take apart anything you put in front of him. He has an infectious grin and a laugh that reminds you what living is about. He likes to talk all time and he LOVES to dance. He's ju...

Home Again

Well, we made it back to Philly! Its been a crazy few weeks though. CJ came back with an ear infection and brocholitis. Then he and Mama ended up with the flu on top of that. Poor Casey had to take care of both of us. I started classes the Monday we got back and so we're back into the swing of a semester. Thank goodness I'm almost done- only one more semester after this one. We had a great time in Kansas City visiting with all of our friends aned family. CJ misses everyone and loves to look through the photo album and point out his family. He also misses his friends Ian and Eli who he absolutely loved to tag after when we visited The Menzies- Spangie, Drew, Sierra, Ian, and Eli. He had a great Christmas full of suprises and travels. He is definitely one spoiled little boy, but we don't mind. Thank you all so much. His favorite thing seems to be his quad bike that his Aunt Dawn and Uncle Eric gave him. He loves zipping around our living room with it. We are still waiting to ...

Update

No major news to update. We're all on pins and needles waiting for the baby to arrive. At this point, it looks like we will definitely have a little one sometime next week if not earlier. Today is my last day of work. I'm definitely ready as I am starting to need more rest and am feeling some major shifting in the baby. Last night Pop Pop arrived though so it definitely brought some excitement to the house. CJ was showered with gifts from Aunt Cherie and Aunt CeCe, which he has been certain to remind us are the gifts for big brothers! He is getting excited at the thought that the baby is coming home soon. Of course, he's even more excited that Pop Pop is here for a long time and that his Nana and Grandma will be out soon too. We will try to keep you all updated when things start progressing. Just wish us luck!
