The Belly

This belly picture is long overdue (got a little Sesame Street in there too). Maggie's belly has gotten pretty big with the little one. The baby has been super active and dad has been able to feel her kick. Maggie says that she is more active than Anabelle which is a little scary.

There haven't been any crazy cravings lately. Maggie has been very relieved to now be able to have a little more variety in her breakfasts other then eggs or peanut butter toast. I guess her body has accepted not having mass amounts of protien first thing in the morning. I guess that is it for now, bye.

Cleveland tourists!

So, we've lived here for how long and have never been to one of the landmark attractions of Cleveland. Finally, we went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! It was pretty cool and Anabelle loved all the music! They had some cool stuff: Janis Joplin's porsche, Michael Jackson's sparkly glove, drawings Jimi Hendrix did as a kid and lots of cool stage costumes. Too bad you can't take pictures inside! This is Anabelle and dad outside the museum! And here's mom and Anabelle with the cool big ships and a frozen Lake Erie in the background.

Play Time with Aunt Kel

Bad Influence

Well, after the almost two days I am starting to think that Aunt Kelly may be a bad influence and have to be sent home early. When we were at lunch today I was trying to feed Anabelle some grapes when she pushed them away and rolled her eyes at me. And Kelly has also been teaching her to move her head from side to side while saying, "yeah, yeah, yeah."

I expected Grandma to spoil our little one but I didn't expect Aunt Kelly to be so bad!!!!!

Aunt Kelly is HERE

Aunt Kelly is here in Cleveland for a long weekend of playing with her niece. The first night she went to a 1st Birthday party of one of Anabelle's friends. It was at the local Rec Center so Anabelle got to go swimming with Dad. This morning we all went to a farmers market and then out to lunch. And tonight Aunt Kelly will babysit Anabelle while mom and dad go out for Valentines day.

Kelly also tested out her ability to make it through the tent tunnel. She did pretty good but Anabelle thought she was a little slow.

Training Camp

Anabelle is suited up and ready for Indians training camp. She is hoping to be the teams starting short stop. In an ESPN interview yesterday she was quoted as saying, "Who else is this cute and shorter then me? I'm a shoe in for 'short' stop." Her mother and father are in full support, they want to get their hands on some of that cash.



Things have been good here in Cleveland. The winter has actually been fairly mild. And now that I've said that we will have 3 feet of snow tomorrow. Mom is busy teaching at the nature center, dad has been traveling to Colorado for work and Anabelle is enjoying a new library class.

Maggie has now made it to 22 weeks, past the half way point. She has been feeling pretty good so far. No really strange cravings other then wanting cheese covered cheese at the beginning. There were some Little Debbie Zebra cakes purchased yesterday but thost just count as good food.
