Baby Grover

Here's our little guy.  He was moving around so much that the technician was having trouble getting shots of everything she needed. It was pretty trippy to feel him moving around and to see what he was doing on screen. We were happy that Baby Boy Grover's organs are all developing properly. And, for the third time, he was measuring one week ahead of schedule. 


 
He's not doing too much in the video, of course. But it is a good look at his sweet little profile.


The other night we could see my belly moving as Baby Grover rolled around inside.  Lane felt him kick on Saturday night.  Exactly at 20 weeks.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Mina, Skyler (Andrew's BFF), Andrew, and Gabriela

Auntie Theresa, Uncle Matthew, Banu and I took these cuties to the Monterey Bay Aquarium when Uncle Matthew & Banu were visiting in June.  As soon as we arrived, it was snack time. For them, and then for the otters.


The kids loved playing in the water and comparing all their fish!
Who doesn't love a game of Ring Around the Rosie in the middle of the aquarium???
Love for Auntie Theresa

The touching pool was a huge hit. Gabriela held a decorator crab and bravely touched everything she could, asking tons of questions to the volunteers.

 
We were lucky it was such a beautiful day in Monterey!

The kids loved seeing Uncle Matthew and Banu.
While we were walking around Cannery Row, Gabriela jumped out of her stroller and requested her picture be taken with this fearsome pirate.
When they got home, the kids picked strawberries in Nana's garden. Oh, and Harry Potter made an appearance. They picked tons, but came in with nearly empty baskets and mysteriously red faces and fingers.
More love for Auntie Theresa

Enjoying her Gabriela sized mug of tea the next morning.

Gabriela Says... The baby Brother edition

That's right, it's a boy!

Gabriela has been saying the sweetest things lately, and totally unprompted.

"Goodnight, Baby Brother! I'll see you when you come out of Mommy's tummy!"

"I love my baby brother"

"My baby brother is a honey"

Gabriela: Mama!
Me: When your baby brother starts talking he'll probably say that.
Gabriela: and he might call me 'Gabwiehla'
Me: well, he probably won't say that right away. 
Gabriela (matter of factly): Yeah, he'll probably call me Chewy.
