It's a....

We're having a baby GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is due around May 20th, and we are so excited! All is going well - she is very active, and in the ultrasound she looked healthy and strong. :) Happiness!

visit to Grammy's

Going hiking at Grammy's house, you never know what fun you will find. What could be better than a huge pile of gravel and some tall grass to run through?!?! Seriously, Silas played on that pile of rocks forEVER, climbing up and sliding back down again. He loves going up there and going for hikes, feeding the birds, and spending time with is Grammy and Reginald.

Christmas pictures

Here are some pictures that Julie took for us this Christmas. Silas is getting to be such a big boy! He had fun this Christmas, and it was fun for us to watch him too. He got lots and lots of cars and trucks, a vacuum cleaner, some puzzles and books, and musical instruments for the bathtub, among other things. We didn't get to go see Santa Claus because he was under the weather from when we got out of school until Christmas Eve, but I kind of think he would have been scared to go up there anyway. It's hard to believe that next year, we will have another baby around for the holidays! Wow.

Bye bye Paci!

A day or so after we got out of school for Christmas Break, it was time for Silas to give up his pacifier. He only used it at night, but it was time for it to go...I was actually pretty sad when they "went", which I didn't expect. I guess it was one of the last things to give up before Silas gets to be a big boy. He does so many things now that are so "big boy".

Here is the day that he gave up his paci(s).

We gathered them together and addressed the Special Delivery package to be sent to Santa Claus at the North Pole. Silas put all of them in the envelope and helped me to seal it shut.

Then we were off to the Post Office. Silas put them in the "out of town" mail box and waved "Bye Bye Paci's!!" (This was the part where I actually got a little sad! ha.)

Then we went out to eat at the Krimson Kafe to celebrate! Silas asked about the pacifiers only a few times after this, and has done a great job sleeping at night without them. Hooray!

Happy News!

We are thrilled to let everyone know that Silas will soon be a BIG BROTHER! We are expecting our second little baby at the end of May. Jason and I couldn't be more excited about all of the new things that are coming our way, and we know that Silas will be a great big brother.
Happy Holidays!
Love,
Jason, Stacey and Silas
