Baby report coming this weekend after my doctor's appointment!

Easy as 1-2-3

Connor never ceases to amaze us!  Last week he was in the den playing alone with one of his toys.  I was walking down the hall and I hear his sweet little voice start counting, 1, 2, 3, 4... he got to six and I ran into the den and asked Josh "are you hearing this?"  He continued all the way up to 13!!  We had no idea he could count higher than 2!!  I have no idea where he learned this, but his little brain just absorbs everything.  I'm not really sure at what age kids should be counting this high, but I like to think 18 months qualifies as a smarty! ;) 

I h ave been trying for days to upload a video of him counting but seem to have problems.  So I think if you go to this Web site you should be able to see him.  You'll notice though he gets distracted by the bubbles.  As I mentioned, if left alone he counts until 13, then after that we can only understand teen.  I just love to listen!

Also, his newest thing is throwing things in the "chosh" aka trash.  He will find anything that needs to be thrown away, open the pantry door and toss it.  He closes the door and is so proud of himself!

Growing, Growing, Growing

At 28 Weeks Pregnancy:

In this corner, the average size baby, weighing in at 2.4 lbs

And in this corner, baby Settlemeyer, weighing in at a whopping 3.2 lbs

Yes Baby S is about a pound bigger than the average baby at 28 weeks pregnancy. The baby's head and length are measuring 2 weeks ahead, while the belly is measuring one week ahead. But for now the due date is staying March 23.  The nurse commented on the baby's long legs and said they'd probably do a couple more sonograms just to measure and watch his/her growth.  Even the baby's eye sockets looked large and it appeared he/she was wearing sunglasses.  I think it's safe to say that if I make it to March 23, I'm going to have another 8lb or 9 lb baby (and we dont even want to think about going over 9 lbs!)  I've put up a poll on the right to guess if Connor will have a brother or sister, so be sure to cast your vote!

Speaking of growing, I really think Connor has had a sudden growth spurt.  He has been eating non-stop and lately many of his 18-24 month shirts are too short on him.  He got to spend a few days without Mommy and Daddy in Livingston at Mimi and Papa Jud's and had a blast!! He is very attached to his Mimi and never even asked about his parents.  Here are just a few random pics of the past few weeks:

His new hiding place

Loves talking on the phone

As soon as I pull out the camera, he starts saying "cheese."

I thought this was too cute.  We were on our way back from San Antonio and both boys crashed.
