Dagan speaks!

Short little video of Dagan talking!

He's super cute, if I do say so myself!

Some new Dagan Dancing videos!

Sorry I'm MIA lately, there's a lot going on! Here are a couple of videos of Dagan being super cute and being excited about his favorite show, Zoboomafoo!

Dagan and ultrasound videos

Hey all,
I know I have beem MIA for a while, sorry. I have a couple of videos to make up for it! Yay!
The first is a 3 second video from the ultrasound I had last week. It's the new baby's heatbeat!

This other one is Dagan pointing out his various body parts. We have been working on this with him for a while now, and he thinks it's great fun. Moments before he had been playing with the cat, and she swatted at him. She has no front claws so it didn't hurt, just made him mad. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to distract him with his favorite game and get it on video! Please excuse my red snowman jammies toward the end... I was cold and they are warm.

I've created a monster!

Today I gave in and succumbed to my cravings for chips and salsa. I like to grate cheese and melt it into the salsa for melty cheesy goodness for the chips. I thought I was free and clear to eat in peace as Dagan was playing with his cars in his room. I was wrong. With the first crunch he came running out. He likes to "help" me eat sometimes. He does this by trying to grab my food and stuff it in my mouth. Now, as a general rule he doesn't get junk food. No chips, fries, or anything like that. I thought, I'll just give him a chip it should keep him happy for a few minutes. He wanted to dip it in salsa. Ok, he won't like it and run away. Kind of like he does when I try to feed him green beans. He used to love those. Now he runs, the stinker. Boy, was I wrong! He loved the salsa and cheese. He kept dipping his chip in my salsa over and over, using it as a spoon. Did I mention I eat "medium" salsa, so it's a bit spicy. Then he'd eat the chip, and ask for another one. The lesson here is, unless I want to share my special pregnancy indulged treat, I'd best eat it when he's napping!

Baby number 2!

Hey all!

For those of you who don't know yet, Mike and I are expecting our 2nd baby!! This one is due around the same time Dagan was... so apparently I'm only fertile in December!! The "official" due date is September 15, 2009. Dagan was born September 9, 2007. He was 2 weeks early, so you never know, maybe this one will come at the end of August. Anyway, here is the "proof".

Tada!! positive pregnancy test!! I took the picture and emailed it to Mike. I was going to throw it away right after the picture, but I had to hold onto it for the rest of the day, because I didnt' quite believe it. I kept thinking that maybe I should take another one, but realized that would be a complete waste of $12.00.

So anyway, there it is!!

Merry Christmas!!

It is 9:00 on Christmas night, and ALL the boys are in bed! What does that mean? It means I have a chance to sit down and do this!

Erik got in from Denver on Saturday, his flight was delayed 2 hours by the Continental jet the went off the runway... so he got here at midnight-ish. Dagan got a bad cold on Saturday, so he was still awake when Erik got here. He was super excited to see his big brother again.

We didn't have anyone else here for the holiday. Erik was disappointed, he really enjoyed having Dad and Cathy here over Thanksgiving.

Without further ado, here are some pictures.

Friday Dagan and I set up the christmas tree. He was a BIG help. He kept getting into the ornaments and playing with the lights. He saw me put a string of lights on the tree and tried to put on the string he had. He also liked to point at the tree and talk to it. It was pretty cute.

Santa and family was pretty good to all of us, especially the kids. They made out like bandits, as usual. This is what the tree looked like before the boys got to it.

Dagan must have known it was Christmas, because he woke up at 5:45am, and he ran out to the living room. Normally if he wakes up that early I can nurse him right back to sleep, but he didn't hang around long enough! He paused to point at the full stockings, and then spotted the tree. I had taken down the gate for easy present placement, and didn't think I would need to put it back up. Boy, was I wrong. Dagan ran to the tree. I tried to put the gate back before he could get into the presents. I didn't make it. He was all excited, pointed to all the presents and promptly spotted some of his unwrapped presents. What do you mean I have to wait??

Finally, at 7am everyone else got up. After about half an hour of coffee drinking and general messing around we got down to business.

Erik got a scooter, operation, a game called Hyper-Dash, some books, crafty-things, clothes, cars, a video game, and other random things. Dagan got a singing and counting chair thing, a piano with blocks, some giant baby blocks, one of the wooden toys with the swirly metal and shapes that move, some Colorado Avalanche stuff, clothes, and other random stuff. Like I said, they made out like bandits. Here are some pics of them playing with their toys. Mostly of Dagan, cus Erik played his video game for 2 hours, and those would be boring pictures.And one extremely unflattering pic of me in my pajamas playing with Dagan. .

Paint Shop is fun!

Mike had fun today editing some pics of Dagan. They are super cutte, and just thought I'd share!
