Hello folks!
This update is long overdue! What can I say? Facebook ate my blog? I have been posting lots of updates there so the blog has been neglected for the past few months. Also, things have been busy busy around the Nemec house, so I will do my best to catch you up.
First things first...
Leo's going to be a big brother! To a little brother!
I am 21 weeks pregnant baby boy #2 due April 9, 2012. We are super excited and think Leo is going to be a great big brother!
 |
| Lil bro, I will teach you how to be cool. |
So far, my pregnancy is going great. I was super tired in the first trimester, but now in the second trimester, I am energized and feeling good. Now that we know we are cooking a little boy, it is time to get down to business -- picking a name and painting the nursery (will be the second upstairs room, formerly known as the comic room, which has moved to the basement). I think we may also paint Leo's room too, we'll see!

Leo is growing up so fast!
He is such a joy.
At 16 months, we are off the bottle (hooray!)
and will be working on loosing the pacifier
over Christmas break.
He is saying lots of words --
aside from the normal ones,
some of our favorites are:
Cookie (as in Monster), Elmo, Zoe, Big Bird,
turtle, yak, shoes, socks, hat, coat
AND
poo poos and pee pees!
We are not pushing potty training
but Leo is starting to tell us when
he goes, so that is a start!
He's still doing great at daycare and
surprises us daily with new things
that he learns.
He loves:
Elmo, books, flash cards, trucks, Elmo, puzzles,
Elmo and baths! (I can hear him splashing
Elmo and baths! (I can hear him splashing
around with Dad now!)
He is going to be a great big brother!
He kisses Mom's tummy and we are starting
to talk about his little brother each day.
In other news ...
We are really enjoying our new basement and
have finally unpacked most of the items that were
stored in our garage. Daddy has moved
all his comics down in to his new room and
is loving it. We have a little more decorating
to do and hope to share some pictures soon.
That's all for now!
Love,
C, A, L and baby boy
