The Alphabet according to Ronan...

I finally got Ronan singing the alphabet on video! I did miss the initial "A" though, he started before the camera kicked on. He also sings "Twinkle, Twinkle", "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and the "Five Little Monkeys Song" all the time.

The Newest Ultrasound Picture

Yesterday I had my follow up ultrasound so the doctor could get a clearer picture of Baby Deuce's heart - last time the spine was casting a shadow on it. The doc says everything looks great. We are relieved!

This picture is a profile shot; the baby is looking up and the eyes, mouth and little button nose are visible at the top.

Second attempt...

This picture will give you a better indication of the bump...the last one didn't show that much!

Here I am at 24 weeks. Only 16 more to go until Ronan's little brother or sister arrives on the scene! The baby is finally making his/her presence known...I am now feeling him/her everyday wriggling around in there.

A Big Boy Bed!

Since Ronan has been able to climb in and out of his crib for a few months now, and since Baby Deuce will need the crib in November, we decided to get Ronan a big boy bed. We set it up yesterday and he loves it! Nap time went off without a hitch, and when he was ready for bed he came up to me and excitedly asked, "Big boy bed?!"

All smiles!

When Collin and I left the room so that he could sleep, he got a little whiny. Daddy stayed a little while longer to get him used to the bed. Since there was no crying fit and since he didn't fall off the bed, I think the first night was a success!

Stanley Park water park!

Today Ronan and I took my sister, Lara, out for lunch to celebrate her upcoming birthday. Afterwards we met up with some friends at Stanley Park's water park. Ronan and his friend, Lola, had a great time splashing in the water.

Mommy forgot his swim trunks (and they matched his hat too!) so Ronan had to wear just a swim diaper - it kinda looks like a Speedo! Mommy sure is suffering from placenta brain these days!

Getting used to the cold water.

Luckily, Lola matched Ronan in the fashion department.

Thanks, Danny for the ice cream cones!

Ice cream buddies!

The Booga-Booga Dance

Ronan thought that a box of his diapers made a great stage to dance on. He was dancing up a storm when Daddy came home, so Daddy joined in. They had a great time doing the Booga-Booga dance. Ronan said "cheese" when he noticed that I had the camera out.
