Guess it has been awhile huh? I'm pleading exhaustion from being pregnant and chasing around a toddler. I know, low blow, but I'll use whatever I can to get out of the dog house! The link below is of Gumba playing outside with dogs. The fat black lab is not ours, we're dog sitting, and yes, she has been put on a diet while in our care. Our hope is the actual owners will realize we just decreased their dog food bill by half and keep it up.

He's pretty adorable, and he's really getting the running thing down. Sometimes he pumps his arms. Gumba loves, loves, loves the outdoors. We spend most of the time in between nap and dinner outside. Luckily he's pretty good at staying away from stuff we've identified as "no" and only sneaks rocks in his mouth occasionally. We've been lucky though because he doesn't swallow them. Gumba has been learning some sign language. I finally decided to try that since getting him to use his vocal cords to make actual words is still failing. The only words you can kind of make out are yucky and cookie. He will say mom if I'm making dinner and ignoring him, and lets be honest, that doesn't happen to often. We'll see how freaked out his pediatrician is at his 18 month check up. I'm pretty much done worrying about it.
Baby no name is still going strong. Am now officially full-term (37.5 weeks) so I'll be able to be at the birth center this time, barring any unforeseen complications of course. Getting excited to find out if it's a boy or girl. Who knows how long we'll have to wait. Knowing our luck I'll go until 42 weeks and then have to induce with castrol oil or something equally disgusting.
Take care all, and will try my best to stay in touch. The video is for all of you (Uncle Mike) who keep requesting pictures while I'm being lazy.

Think of it this way. With husband, children, and work, your mother didn't even get photos in a family album, so you are actually doing quite nicely with your blog!
Looks as if our little big man will be moving at the speed of sound soon! Dad and I can't get over how much he's changed in... what's it been...three weeks?
Thank goodness for long weekends. Dad is heading south to Seward. He's been invited to go halibut fishing with a co-worker who's father-in-law just happens to own a boat! And, as you know, I'm heading north to visit all of you. See you in a couple of days!

Whatever you do, do not drink Castor oil or ingest it in any form. I can hardly type the word without throwing up into my mouth from a failed induction attempt the day before my due date. No one that I know has been successful in Castor Oil induction.
Excuse me while I go gag some more now.
