This morning:
Goo: Ohhhhseeebe!
Me: Ummm …..
Goo: Ohhhhn seeve!
Me: I don’t know what you’re saying buddy, sorry!
Goo: Ohhnnn TV!
Me: Oh, you want me to turn on the TV?
Goo: Good job, Mama! (Actually it was more like “guh jaw, mama!” – but I got that one the first time) J
Happy to see he’s hearing that positive reinforcement. Ha!

Bell Pepper Babe
With all of the excitement surrounding Goo’s second birthday, I’ve been slacking in Goo #2 updates. Goo #2 is doing really well – he or she is about the length of a bell pepper these days ….

I am starting to feel the baby move now, which is really fun, and thankfully, the 24/7 nausea seems to have lightened up quite a bit. I’m down to one 4mg pill in the morning, down from 8mg every 6 hours (and still getting sick in between). All of our checkups have been perfect (*knocking very loudly on wood*), and we see the Dr again on Friday for another. Unfortunately, since we do want to know the gender, the Dr. has decided it’s best to wait to do our “big” ultrasound until 22 weeks, darn him. I guess it’s easier for the techs to see when the baby is that much bigger …. So – 5 more weeks, and we’ll be able to start buying pink or (more) blue! At this point, we still don’t really have a gut feeling or a preference about what we’re having. Another boy would be fun for Goo, but a girl would be fun, too – since this is most definitely (sorry, grandmas) our last bio baby. We’re not ruling out the idea of adoption in the future, though – so either way, we’re really just hoping for a healthy babe. :)

This year, we tried a new photographer here in Fargo – Hadley Photography. Did we try her because had Goo been a girl, his Mama really, really, really wanted to name him Hadley? Perhaps. Was it a good move? Absolutely! We LOVED LOVED LOVED his pics, and had a super fun shoot.
As you’ve probably imagined, Hadley Photography is named after the photographers little girl, Hadley. Hadley is 2.5 and the exact same size as Goo. When we arrived to the photoshoot, we were surprised and delighted to see that Hadley came with. Hadley’s mama apologized profusely, citing last minute babysitter issues, which we completely understood. When Hadley’s mom got her out of the car and set her down, Goo walked right up to her with outstretched arms, going in for a hug. Hadley gave Goo a funny look, but they ran off to play together anyway. They had such a fun time during the shoot, we credit lots of the giggling, happy pics to Goo’s new friend.
Goo and Hadley got along so well, we even got a shot of the two of them holding hands.
Say it with me, people … Awwwwwwwww …..
When we went to leave, Goo surprised all of us by walking right up to Hadley and planting a big wet one right on her lips. Apparently, Goo has moves. T and I laughed all the way home, and then got a little nervous, thinking about a teenaged Goo having that much confidence … yikes. Wish us luck – looks like we may need it!

Overboard? Naaah …
To celebrate Goo turning 2, we had two parties, one at home, and one in Devils Lake over the 4th. As expected, Mr. Magoo was spoiled silly with new toys and gadgets, and many wonderful memories. Unfortunately, Goo’s mama was having a lost-camera-charger-issue during this time, so I wasn’t able to get many snaps at the first party. I did swipe a few from “amma,” though – enjoy!
By the time party #2 rolled around, the lost-camera-charger-issue still hadn’t resolved itself, so I made a point to ask my awesome neighbor to be our official party photographer. She got some great shots!
Side Note/Parting Thoughts: Yes, that’s a 20 foot bouncy house. Yes, great-grandma J made every little person who attended the party their very own Batman cape. Yes, we were accused of going overboard, and no, we don’t care. Really, how many times do you turn 2? And why do we have this big backyard if we can’t invite 50 people over?

| During gift opening, Mr. C couldn't see, and thought any old lap would do. Those are my grandparents he's hanging with. :) |

| Goo and Mama, and the beginning of a baby bump :) |

| Go ahead and admit that you're jealous of my crafty grandma (and my super cute son and little sis)! |

| My *favorite* pic of the day - "Amma" D trying to cool Goo off by dumping water on his head, which he obviously LOVED. haha ... poor Goo. |
