blush and bashful

looks like we will be painting the walls pink...

baby dalton is a GIRL!

i am so excited! i've always wanted a mini version of myself.

so...

since the dog thing has been working out pretty well, we decided to take the leap... we are expecting, a hopefully less-furry, little sibling for rumbi. due january 8th!

apparently, right now {at 16 weeks} baby is the size of an avocado. yum.

here i was at 14 weeks

then 15
and now 16. wowzas! i feel like that happened over night.

rumbi is taking a very strong interest in this new development. as you can see, he tries to sneak in every picture. and has started to follow me around everywhere...he must know something bad is coming...soon he will become the red-headed stepchild*

just kidding. he is my first born and i will always love him.
and give him lots of attention.
especially if he keeps worshipping me like he has been lately.
you know how i can't get enough of that.

*sidenote: no offense to my red-headed friends. this is just an expression. you are all beautiful. seriously. and not stepchildren.

watch this and be amazed.

this girl wore the same little black dress for an entire year...adding accessories and layers to make a different look everyday AND did it all to raise money to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for children living in Indian slums.

what a creative and inspiring story!

read more details here and an interview with the talented Sheena Matheiken here.

little dog learns new tricks

he already knew everything except the rolling-over. i started teaching him that one only 3 days ago and he's so dang smart he picked it right up!

i keep trying to convince my dad that his "furry little grandchild" deserves his love and attention {not much of a dog person, richie}. but NOW, how could he resist!

next up, i'll teach him to say grampa. :D
