We took these a couple weeks ago when Lindsey was 29 weeks pregnant. It was a weeknight after work and we went to the field near our house where we did bump pictures with Avery. We were hoping to get some more cute photos with Avery in them, but he was tuckered out and uncooperative. We'll have to try again earlier in the day.
Kisses for Mommy.
Kisses for baby brother.
With March quickly approaching we'd better get our first blog entry for 2010 out of the way. I guess we've been busy, though not sure with what. I do remember painting the baby's nursery - oh by the way did we mention "it's a boy?" The last time around we posted the sex the day of the ultrasound. Our bad.
Lindsey continues to have a good pregnancy, although Avery doesn't let her take afternoon naps. All the aches and pains have been a bit more noticeable than what Lindsey recalls from last time, but it's going by much faster the second time around.
Avery is changing all the time. His vocabulary exploded at some point, and we now have full blown conversations with him. He also has a great memory and frequently changes the subject to discuss events that happened in the past. He's fun to talk to.
Here are some pictures from the past few months:
Hugs for my little brother.
Deep in thought.
Avery was supposed to be sleeping, but we caught him reading a book about being a big brother.
At his winter preschool performance. His class represented Japan.
At the boat show/heaven.

We had a great Christmas in Texas this year. It was the first time the three cousins got to spend the holiday together, and having all the kids under one roof made the season especially fun. We enjoyed a lot of good meals and way too much dessert together. Here are some pictures of the mayhem.
This red nose turned out to be a hot item - Avery and Nicole had to take turns.

We took Avery back to the Cougar Mountain Zoo to see Santa and the reindeer again. This year we didn't have snow so it wasn't quite as winter wonderlandy. Though we did spend more time exploring the zoo and seeing some of the other animals.
This year Avery thought Santa was alright, but still wouldn't sit on his lap.
Avery enjoyed feeding apples to the reindeer.
Kissing all the animal statues.
Lindsey and I bought theatre tickets as our xmas present. We saw White Christmas at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle.
We're back from our annual trip to Maui. This year it was just us and my sister (nanny). We had great weather this year and spent the vast majority of our time at the pirate ship pool or at the beach. I'd like to point out some highlights from our trip, but really, we didn't do much besides lay around in the sun and eat the occasional meal. We did really enjoy having Auntie Ashleigh along and getting to spend lots of quality time with her.
Aaaaargggg!
