Updates

Okay so it has been a long time since I updated this, but I've had a really good reason for this:


In case you are unable to view this video, for whatever reason, we were delaying posts because Maria is going to be a big sister in April (on or around the 20th) and we were biding our time before telling everyone. Maria of course has no concept of what is going on or what it means to be a big sister, but appears excited (in the video) none the less.
Maria herself is still growing like a weed. She had another growth spurt at 18 months and is now 33" tall and 22lbs 12oz. The weight gain was not great, but if the height keeps going she'll be 3 ft tall by the time she's 2! She is also talking up a storm, with many single words, a few 2 word phrases and even the odd 3 word phrase. She often speaks in sentences now with the odd "real" word thrown in here or there. I am constantly amazed, and pleased that I won't have to take her to see one of my colleagues :)
Aaron and I are also keeping busy, finishing the basement (there is incentive to get it completed before the spring now), and keeping busy with work. The basement is coming along...the walls are painted and the flooring is on order. Hopefully this weekend we will be able to get the ceiling textured and start laying tile...I'm keeping my fingers crossed.


First trip to the dentist; New fall attire (more fashionable than mom)
