When Life Hands you Lemons...

It is time to get excited...

Yes! That's right I am 14+ weeks pregnant... Made it to 2nd trimester! Wohoo.... but still a long way to go for this little one which we won't be able to officially meet until the end of March 2010.... since I told my employer today... I guess it is time to tell the world! Here is a pic of our newest little one 2 weeks ago during his/her nuchal translucency screening.

Another view at 12weeks 5 days

Check Up at 10weeks 3 days

Nothing better than the first time you see the baby with a strong heart beat... much better than last time... 7 weeks never looked so good! {too bad I was not feeling so good...}

Welcome Home Daddy!

Last Night {very late night} Daddy came home from a month in San Diego!!!!! We are very happy to have him back for a few days before we have to say good-bye again as he heads off to Washington DC for the month of October... {is it November yet??} Frank was very quick to show daddy all of his new favorite things he has learned this past month. We went to the park this morning, had lunch with Frank's godfather Liam and his brother Finn, played in the yard, went for a walk and then got to play with Play Doh before bed time! We are very happy to have daddy home!

Play Doh with daddy!

Rolling the play doh :)

Train Ride

Saturday afternoon Mimi and Pop-pop took Frank to a train ride through the countryside. Like every little boy, Frank loves trains! He had the best time {they told me... I was at a wedding in Canton, OH}... He did not want to get off the train! Here are some pictures they sent me.

Frank ready to ride

Here we go! Choo-Choo!!

Come back Train!

New Park

I has been a while since my last update... but with work and daddy being in San Diego... well... things have been quite BUSY! Today Mimi and I took Frank to a new park is Westerville... it was so much fun!

He has no fear of climbing...

Little Monkey Man

Frank was so excited and entertained by the gears...

future engineer? possibly...

All smiles at the park

Spin Spin Spin

See-Saw... fun times at the park

OU vs. OSU

Our lil Bobcat was excited for the OU vs. OSU game... and thought it was not as exciting as last time... We did have a fun time at our bobcat party!

DORA at the Zoo

Saturday we took Frank to DORA at the zoo! We had breakfast with Dora and got to watch an animal show. Frank was very excited to meet Dora...

Then Dora arrived to the party...

And like any boy... Frank was quickly intimidated by his one true love... he was scared to go and talk to her...

So he passed the time with some face painting

Tattoos make a boy look cool right?

Especially BACKPACK!

He was excited to meet the Frog...

Very unsure and uncomfortable with being up close and alone with Dora... so mommy had to help

After breakfast we got to walk around the zoo... here are some manatees

And we saw DORA's motorcade drive by! Yeah Dora!

Halloween Preview

The Disney store was having a huge costume sale he other day I was shopping at Polaris... When seeing this costume... I knew Frank would be the perfect Woody! (Now we need to find a Buzz to go with us...). I had Frank try on the top to make sure it fit... and of course... so cute! Wait for Halloween to dee the complete costume...

Frank as Woody

Howdy Partner!

He kept putting the hat on and saying Yee-Haw!

Getting Dressed...

Some mornings Frank likes to -dress- himself... This morning he decided his shorts were a hat... maybe he is a fashion forward baby...

Zanesville Trip

Frank went to visit some family in Zanesville. He really liked to feed Aunt Holly and Uncle Denis' animals. He was -NOT- interested in riding the horse... but uncle Denis showed him how to feed the animals... and Frank was very interested in that...

End of Summer Fun

Mimi tried to encourage Frank to take a "bath" in the sprinklers...

At first he needed a little encouragement...

The water was -cold- and the path was long

But with some encouragement

He ran

and ran

through the water

so

much

FUN!!

Sad to see summer end

Hair Cut...Again

Frank's hair (and nails) grow so very fast... so it is time for another hair cut... he is getting MUCH better with hair cuts... maybe this is the sort of thing where practice makes perfect...

Regardless...He is quite the handsome dude...

Curious Frank

Frank is such a curious fellow...

Especially with fish and animals... he loves to feed the fishies every morning

He is our little curious Frank...

Mr. Oakwood

Someone gave me a sweatshirt from my new high school... and I must say Frank5 looks pretty good in Blue and Gold... he is definitely looking like Mr. Oakwood!
