it's a girl...still!

 we had another ultrasound yesterday with our wonderful Dr Sterling (20 weeks) and it's still a girl! i guess Josh has a tiny bit of doubt, but now there can be no mistake. it's hard to believe i am half way through already, and she is due June 14th. we are excited to have a summer baby, we were so paranoid about the flu and other sickness when Noah was born in December. now it's time to start the huge project that will soon be their shared, gender neutral bedroom! that will be in the next post...so here is the final highlight of the last year, just a few of my favorite pictures of Noah's first year, then i will start on everything that is happening right now!

 we stopped by Aja's house one day and Willy Wonka happened to be on, he was completely entranced by all the colors. he laid like this for maybe 20 minutes, it was so cute!

Noah's first pedicure! and according to daddy...his last.
he was six weeks in this picture, and we were leaving the next morning to go visit relatives in Arkansas. it was his first time meeting them, and he needed to make a good impression...

 one of our snowed in days! you can barely tell, but Noah is wearing his batman onesie, which was a gift from Amara. he wore it as much as he could until he grew out of it, it was so cool!

 i love this picture because you can see poor Noah being neglected in the background and sliding off his pillow! of course, he's so easy going he never made a peep!

always happy and smiling!
during these months when i had two little babies during the day,
we had really good days and really bad days! of course the pictures all look happy...so I'm thankful to have those!

we had gone shopping all day long, it was one of my first big outings with both of them! i bought a double stroller and just made it happen, i just couldn't stay home all day! getting them to be still enough at the same time to fall asleep was a challenge, but worth it for the pictures!

 this is at a 'cute baby contest'. Noah is maybe 12 weeks old here, he was the only boy and didn't win...a girl in a fluffy dress won of course. they just didn't appreciate Noah's style and swag...

 look how bald he is! he's already fighting kisses :(

 he just started using his bumbo seat here, i think the flash caught him by surprise

 enjoying one of the first warm days we had! he looks like Josh to me in this picture. he's funny how they change back and forth

 my cousin Kristin was holding him here and he fell asleep while we were talking, it was so funny!
