Jetta, Pilot and Mommy

I am so happy have this picture of us. It really captures the love and joy we have for one another. Thanks to Aunt Jessica for the beautiful photos. Jetta is just so in love with her Aunt Jessica and talks about wanting her to come over and take pictures of us again. I think she is a natural in front of the camera. She made me feel more comfortable too.

We all have babies!!!

Well, Pilot will be born soon and we are all so excited. Jetta is so thrilled already. She plays with him all the time. Singing to him, telling him stories, cuddling with my belly, wanting to feel him kick Mommy, and just always wanting to touch my belly and give him lots of hugs and kisses. She just loves her little brother and talks about him being born in March all the time. She says "I am going to be too excited to see my little brother!!!" Now she has decided that she too has a little baby in her belly, and her name is Puma. And Puma is going to be born in March too. She and Pilot will hold hands and play together. She makes us feel Puma kicking her belly and shows us where the head is and foot. Sometimes Jetta eats too much ice cream and Puma gets sick. She says, "I think Puma's sick" The most recent addition to the family is the baby that is in Daddy's belly. And that baby's name is Pinap. "We all have babies!" Jetta yells with glee.

The Best Mommy

Most days I lay down with Jetta for her nap and she takes my face in her hands and pointing her little finger in my face says, "look at me, look in my eyes. You da best Mommy. You da best Mommy. You da best Mommy. You da best Mommy. You da best Mommy! We love each other. " and gives me a big squeeze around the neck. What a compliment coming from my little girl. Wow!

Aunt Ali

Aunt Ali was a hit! The human swing, and the best was the new addition to our home, Mouse. Jetta loves to read books to mouse and play with him all the time. She teaches him dance moves and pretends she the dance teacher. She tells jokes that Mouse thinks are funny. Jetta is so blessed to have a Godmother like Ali. We are just looking forward to her next visit.
As Jetta would say, "I want Ali real much, right now!"

At the park

My Mom (Grandma Boppy) spent the summer with us.

I love you real much!

Jetta has the best way of greeting you. Every time I walk in the door (even if I have only been gone an hour) she greets me with "HI! MOM! I love you real much. I told my Daddy, I love my mom real much!" and gives me the biggest hug and kiss.
She also loves to play pretend and is constantly talking about her baby mouse, llama or lion in her hand. It's crying. And we always find ourselves running from the lion or bear. Her eyes wide open and her breath heavy and she says, "RUN! LION"

We Have a New Home

It has been a long time since my last post. So many things have happened. We have moved to Annapolis and have a new home that I just love! It is just perfect for us and walking distance to down town. We are enjoying the slower, less trendy pace here in our boating town. I do miss my friends a lot and miss going out for our favorite Indian lunch in Hoboken. Some things can be replaced with a new favorite Thai restaurant, but other things will never be replaced and will never leave my heart. Just thinking of some of the people we left brings tears to my eyes. Hopefully we can make such wonderful friends here too. Jetta is loving Aunt Jessica and Uncle Mario and their community pool. She has made many pool friends and is going under water all by herself. She is just on the verge of swimming on her own. My Mom has been here the whole summer and Jetta goes back and forth from snuggling up with her on the couch with a good book, just loving her Boppy, to yelling her head off, "No Boppy, It's mine" for now apparent reason. We still can figure out the workings of Jettas brain. Ha! . It is wonderful being near all of our family and we are still just getting ourselves adjusted. Some big news.....I'm pregnant! I wonder if it will be a boy. I hope we will come up with a good name. It's a hard job to name a human being I think. I am feeling very tiered and somewhat nauseous all the time. Fun Fun Fun! We are very excited though, but of course nervous too. Jetta has her own bed in our room now and sleeps there about have the night. I am still nursing her and have no plans to stop before the baby is born. I guess we will play it by ear, heart and nipples. So, we are sort of caught up now....talk later.
