Just About Ready

As I mentioned yesterday we are under the eight week mark now and I've been prepping for baby. The pictures didn't work out yesterday so I tried again today and find that Google Chrome web browser works better and faster than Internet Explorer....Aaron has been trying to convince me, but I don't like change....now I guess I'll listen!

 Started on my stash of newborn cloth diapers and I'm loving how tiny they are compared to Levi's Fuzzi Bunz and liners for daytime (blue) and his Blueberry and nighttime liners (dinosaurs).

 If we are greeted by a little girl (who at this rate may never get a name!) she'll be coming home in this sweet pink thing and the butterfly goes on the behind, but I just had to show it in the picture.

 One of the cutest little girls blankets I've ever seen! I may be tempted to even wrap a son in this one. LOL

 If we get another little man (who will most likely be named Isaiah), he'll be coming home in this little monkey suit.

 Its not finished yet, but I'm working on this blanket for a boy and if I get time I've got some pink/white/green  yarn to make a girl's blanket.... but for now we could always use the teacup blanket.

 I love tiny things hanging in the closet!!!

 A closer shot of the new diapers and the cute gender neutral pattern I found.

More either/or baby stuff. Kind of liking the yellow this time around! The funny looking thing with the Monkey is a swaddle blanket with velcro patches to insure a tight wrap. Enough of my mom friends swear by these that I have to give it a try this time. My Moby wraps are also ready to go and this time I've got two....love MOBY! I can't wait to wear my new little bundle out and about this Spring!

Let it Snow!!!

 First minute in the snow....I think he likes it!

 Big sister know all about this and was down in the snow making snow angels in a flash.

 Oh its cold without your mittens!

 Glad we bought these sled this year.

 Oh what fun it is to ride!

 Daddy taking them up and down the street, no worries about traffic today. I tried pulling them down the road, but slipped and pulled a muscle in my stomach, guess mama will be moving slow today.

 I love our snug and warm little house!

Well our blizzard is here! It wasn't as bad as predicted, in that we don't have the terrible wind and whiteout conditions. We did get about 6 inches of snow with more coming down all day. Rebecca was thrilled and since it was Levi's first snow we had to get out and play! Aaron is home for now, but I'm afraid he may get called in later if people start losing power. So far, its the perfect way to wrap up Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I believe this is the first of many early Christmas mornings for Aaron and I. The kids were up at 6:30 and ready to tear down the hall to see all their presents. We had to help Levi wake a little, but it didn't take long to get him as ready to go as Rebecca. Here are lots of pictures from this morning, now its on to breakfast and full day of playing with out kiddos.

 We opened stockings yesterday, and this was the only not blurry picture of Rebecca.

 Levi confiscated Rebecca's bubble bath, but looks a bit guilty, doesn't he?

 The baby doll I found for Rebecca, and the one all the clothes I made fit....or should fit?!

 Aaron setting up the kids tent, they are gonna love this!

 A really nice size tent for the kids.

 Aaron building a "sea snail" out of city blocks. Rebecca has wanted to build this since we got her first set of blocks on her birthday.

 Now we own three sets (300) blocks and although the snake looks great, we still don't own enough city blocks to complete him. Looks like we'll be buying more....valentine's maybe?

 Rebecca wanted to do an experiment to see if Santa is real or a 'fake game' so she set out cookies and milk last night. Spoiler: The cookies weren't touched so she has deteremined he is fake. ;-)

 Levi's puppet theater.....I'm sure they will both enjoy playing with this.

 Silly boy.

 Its a four man tent if you are the size of our little man!

 Rebecca got a Bitty Baby from Grandma.....I remember well the year I got my bitty baby and she is still around and looking well loved.

 Loved his expression when he opened his puppets.

 Teaching the finer points of puppetry.

 Still a bit groggy.

 Daddy's present from the children.

 Found the escape door. Someday we'll add a tunnel attachment to this thing.

 Loving her baby.

 For new Baby Alldredge. Less than ten weeks and then we'll know if we've been blessed with a boy or girl!

  More baby to love!

 Her onery glance right before they knocked him down.

 Levi's first train set!

 Farm magnets from Papa and Mare.

 Light Brites are very compact these days, nothing like the big box with a bulb in the back that had to plug into the wall. LOL

 Mr. Conductor.

 When sister asked for a turn...no way!

 He lost his sleeper when he opened up his fancy socks from Papa and Grandma, but didn't actually get around to putting the socks on.

 This is keeping him really busy!

The doll clothes fit! Doesn't this baby look almost real?!
