Rosebud

As most of you have probably already seen on Facebook, baby Rosebud made her grand entrance into the world this morning, February 6, at 6:27am. She weighed 9lb. 2oz. and was 20.5 inches long.

Y'all, this was probably the coolest thing I've ever done (and yes, I've done it before, but the two experiences absolutely couldn't have been more different, and I prefer this one).

Belly shot from my due date (Feb 1) (can't figure out how to turn it, sorry):

With my sister-in-law. I was 40+3, she was 39+3.

My token appearance at the Superbowl festivities:

BABY!

My handsome boy in his new church clothes. Sorry it's blurry -- he wouldn't stand still!

Helping with Dishes

Imagination, Part 2

More examples of Jeric's developing imagination -- and these are just some of the ones I've taken pictures of.

Using a dustpan and mop bucket as "paint and a paintbrush" -- He kept saying "I painting like Papa!" while wiping the dustpan on the floor.


He drew half of this picture, then came and told me it was Mommy and Jeric. I asked where Daddy and Baby Sister were, and he added them to the picture.


"Ice cream" (I have no idea).


"Cake" -- this is a game he plays frequently, often with random blocks, but this time he used little battery-operated lights.

Imagination, Part 1

This boy of mine has quite the imagination!

Here are some pictures of Jeric and his friend Jane "fixing" her shopping cart with tools. Jeric noticed that there was a broken spot on it and took off running into the other room shouting "I NEED TOOLS!!"


Using screwdrivers:


Using a C-clamp as a saw (see, he's making sound effects) and Jane copied him by using a wrench as a saw:


More work with the screwdriver:


Got his foot stuck:


This toy is actually used to launch little motorcycles across a flat surface, but he is using it as an electric screwdriver:
