Yes, it's finally official and out for the world to know... we are ecstatic to announce that Colby will be a Big Brother!! I am 3 months pregnant and am due on September 30th! We are very excited about the addition to our family! Colby has been pretty cute with it... he doesn't really understand, but on occasion, he will point to my tummy when he's asked, "Where's the baby?" So cute! We will need to get him a pretend little baby to practice being gentle around. I don't think little boys at the age of 15 months have the word or meaning of "gentle" in their vocabulary quite yet! We'll see... I've been feeling fine, actually too fine. Already putting on the weight because I'm eating so much! Such is life being pregnant, I suppose!! :) Only more to come! I had my first prenatal appointment this afternoon and the baby's heartbeat was 170... very fast! Colby's also started out very high (in the 160's, I think). We'll see if the wives tales have anything to do with dictating the sex of the baby this time!
Colby is one crazy little boy... he is such a chatterbox, I love it! I just wonder what he is talking about all the time!! LOL! He surprises us with new things he can do all of the time! At my parents' house today, he was standing on the floor, and the next second, sitting up on a kitchen chair. He pulled himself up and got on the chair!! So quick, this one!!
We are trying to get somewhat organized for our San Diego Spring Break trip, but it's not going so well. The list is still very long... and we leave next Saturday morning. While I'm excited, there are other things that are quite draining right now, like report cards and Parent-Teacher Interviews next week. Can't wait for a wonderful holiday with just the three of us!
Anyway, we are going to a wedding this weekend and Colby is going for a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's. He absolutely loves playing there, so it will be a nice change for him. He'll have fun there... I'm just crossing my fingers he sleeps well, too!! Have a great rest of the week, everyone!

'lil reader
As you can see from the new picture on the sidebar, Colby is loving books these days! It is so cute how he "reads" his books to us!! I love it... especially with my profession and all!! Good model for my students to do their home reading too, I'd say! Start young, right?!
So... you can tell it's report card time again in my world because I'm sick... again! Ugh... to be honest, I don't think my sinus thing fully went away from last time! Hopefully soon now that the stress of writing report cards are now done! Yippee!! We haven't been up to much lately with the cold snap and my busy schedule with report cards. I can't believe how quickly the year is going by... we are already half way through March! Things upcoming that we are looking forward to are a visit from Gerry's sisters and their kids this weekend for Emerson's baby shower, a wedding next weekend of a colleague from Entwistle, and our upcoming trip to San Diego on the 28th!!!
Colby is growing like crazy and developing his attitude just as quickly, I think! He is a stubborn little boy, but I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree on that one! His mommy can be a little stubborn too (sometimes!!) Anyway, we had to find a new dayhome... (yes, AGAIN!!) because Becky got a job outside of the home. We are very sad because she is absolutely amazing and Colby loves it there with Connor and all of the other kids. Luckily, I think we've figured out something with my cousin watching him from April until June. Just poor timing... wish we could've finished off the year.
Anyway, short little post today! I'm off to bed... it's WAY past my 9:00 bedtime!! Have a great weekend everyone. It looks like the weather is turning around for us! Yay!
Hugs,
Lesley

10 Things...
So, nowadays on Facebook, it seems that everyone is writing "Random things about me", so I thought it'd be fun to do a few about Colby!
1. Colby has the most beautiful blue eyes ever. I love them! Everywhere we go, it's the first thing anyone comments on, even complete strangers, but especially little old ladies!
2. Colby is a climber. This is why we call him our "little monkey". He will try to climb onto anywhere he sets his mind to. This includes from his table stool, onto the table, then onto the couch, or even standing on the windowsill!
3. Colby is a big boy... he has always been in the 75th to 90th percentile for his height and weight (even off the charts for height a few times in the past year!) Maybe he'll be over 6 feet tall one day...
4. Colby is a soother junkie. We are trying to break him of this habit and he now gets it only at naptime and bedtime, but it is very difficult!! He would have it all day everyday if we would let him.
5. Colby's idea of dancing is SO adorable! It consists of bouncing up and down or spinning in circles when he hears music, especially Farmer Tad's fridge farm magnet songs!!
6. Colby is going to be a techie of some sort one day, I think. He is interested in anything electronic... Wii remotes, TV remotes, computer keyboard, turning on and off the satellite and TV... and the list goes on!
7. Colby LOVES fruits much more than vegetables. But most of all, he LOVES meat! He would eat all meat for supper if we let him, I'm sure.
8. Colby is starting to "talk" a bit more now... he has surprised us with a small phrase "Daddy go dere" one day! He loves saying "Daddy", "dis" and "dat" as he points to things we describe to him. I love having our daily conversations!
9. Colby likes to take towers apart more than he likes to build them. One day maybe he'll want to actually build instead of tear down!!
10. Colby is loved SO much by his Mommy, Daddy, rest of the family and friends!! He is beginning to "play" with others much better lately, especially Landon (cousin) and Connor (cousin at the dayhome). It's great to see him interacting with other kids so often!!
Just a few things you might have already known or now you do know! Colby is a wonderful little boy and we are so lucky and proud to be his parents!
Hope your March is off to a good start, everyone! Things are very busy right now with report cards and IPP reviews at school, but thankfully, Gerry is helping out around the house a ton and spending lots of time with Colby so I can get work done at home. Thank goodness for a wonderful husband like him!! Take care!
