Now that we know he's a he

Here is the super boyish car seat I bought and paid for several months ago that's been hanging out in my closet. And the kiddopotomus thingy I really wanted that I got at Other Mother for a couple bucks!!! Yes, I was excited. Along with all the other really super cute like new clothes I scored on. Someone stop me.

Here I've been getting all things baby ready for my little guy. Ethan helpfully got his doggy out from his bedroom and put it in here for his little brother(that he is so super excited for!).
Also in baby preparation, Lily has been stepping forward and making some huge milestones lately! My big girl!
First, she got her very first puffy braid! Oh so cute.
Next, she has officially weaned from nursing, at all. And we've been holding strong for over a month now to the point that she doesn't even do her "put, put" noise thing asking to nurse. I'll miss it, but I think we are both ready and prepared for this.
And this is just a picture of her with her gorgeous/scruffy daddy.
In case you were wondering, yes she does love the "Meows" and will be upset when they are big enough to go back to the shelter for adoption.
And then there is the thing I'm most excited about. Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not against a co-sleeping arrangement. I let my little babies nurse to sleep while I'm laying on my side sleeping myself. They get more sleep, I get more sleep, it works for us. Then whenever I wake up, I just move them into the bassinet next to my bed, or playpen as they get older, until they are around a year old. Lily's room is on a different floor than us so this time I was very hesitant to move her all the way down there to her new room. However, we got a queen sized bed and I started laying down with her at night and she has been sleeping in her own room now for a few months! As a matter of fact last night I told her to go to bed, she wasn't happy about it(cried the whole way there), but she went in and got into her own bed and went to sleep. What a big girl!

If you want an explanation, I had just gotten back from Costco and was putting stuff away while the kids were watching Scooby Doo. I guess Charmin is as comfy as they say because this is how I found Lily a little bit later.
