20 Week Pictures

Here are some pictures of me halfway through the pregnancy. I know it may not look like I've gained too much weight, but I've gained 16 pounds in 20 weeks, so I'm on target to gain over 40. Lovely.

Moses just had to get his picture taken since I was getting my picture taken. He is such a ham, just like his father :-)

It's a . . . .

BOY! Aaron and I went to the doctor's on Tuesday and found out that we are having another boy :-) Moses will have a little brother. I don't even want to think about the trouble they will get into through the years! Here are some pictures of our new addition:

The above photo is suppose to show that it is a boy. His head is on the left and I think the legs are open on the right hand side :-)

It is hard to believe that I'm halfway done with this pregnancy. Time flies when you're having fun, right? :-)

Potty Time

Moses began being interested in going to the bathroom about a month ago (thanks to Micah & Eliza!). He tells us in time to make it to the toilet about once every ten times, so we are far from being potty trained, but we are very excited about the thought of it. I took a video to show Moses's excitement, but it's not loading properly. So, here are some pictures instead.

Christmas 2010

Moses really enjoyed Christmas this year. He is such a social kid, that I could tell his favorite part was being around family and getting loads of attention. He wasn't so concerned about the gifts. He does love his all his books, Curious George dvds, piano, and race track, just to name a few.

A New Hat

Moses found a new hat to wear with a message for everyone!

He thinks he's big stuff strutting around in his various hats. Little does he know that people are excited about the message of this hat, and not the fact that he is wearing a hat :-) So for those of you who don't know, I'm due June 9. So far, everything is going well. We'll find out in January what the sex of the baby is and let eveyone know then.

Here is a recent photo of Moses's cousin, Brielle. She received a great report from her doctors yesterday. We are so thankful for her and her parents!

Day Trip to Chicago

Saturday, the Meiss family took a trip to Chicago to visit my brother Zach. We were able to watch his soccer match, eat a delicious meal, and even wander around the Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a very enjoyable day!

The view of the city skyline was awesome from the soccer field.

Uncle Zach prohibited us using strollers on our walk to the restaurant, so he helped out by carrying Moses on the way back to his apartment.

Halloween 2010

Moses was able to enjoy two nights of Trick-or-Treating this Halloween. On Saturday, we enjoyed the day in Ipava with a special visit from Aunt Dianne & Aunt Amy. Moses had his first go at Trick-or-Treating, but didn't really understand what was going on.

Then on Sunday, Moses went Trick-or-Treating with Livey (bumble bee) & Jude (monkey). With Jude leading the way, Moses started to understand the process. . . go to door, say the magic words (which sounded like "tick-o-teet"), grab candy, then say "bye!" and off to the next house. It was pretty amusing!
