Coming Soon: Baby K #2!

Surprise!  It's been a while since we've posted (again), but we couldn't help sharing the good news.  Baby K #2 is due January 1 (although Erin plans to start walking December 26 so the baby can be born before the New Year).  We went to the ultrasound a few weeks ago, and although we didn't find out the gender - we're going to be surprised again - we did come back with some pictures.  Here they are.

First, a good healthy heartbeat

This baby was much less shy than Rose, who wouldn't let us see her face

Baby also had a message for his/her older sister

We were also able to get some 4D pictures of this baby, which was pretty cool


As for the big sister, Rose has been doing well and has been going through a flurry of development.  She's loving the summer, running around, going to playgrounds, and swimming in Grandma and Grandpa's pool.  Her vocabulary has exploded, even using words we haven't specifically tried to teach her.  Her memory is great as well, and she can now tell you things she did earlier in the day, fill in the blanks with her stories, and even associates people with certain places or other people.  Now this isn't "our baby is so smart" bragging, it's just amazement at how far she's come in such a short time.  And now we get to do it all over again!
