Here's Addie & Cole in the double stroller, for the first time together. Addie only tried to poke Cole a few times :) Unlike Addie, Cole liked being outside.

Christmas Baking

Addie's Christmas Tree

When my brother and I were kids our Grandma bought us a little Christmas tree. We decorated it however we wanted and we allowed to move the ornaments around. My Mom says that my brother and I used to fight over whether Snoppy or the Angel went on top. And we would change it everytime we walked by. So my Mom bought Addie her very own Christmas tree. She has Sesame Street ornaments and everything. She had been really good wiht it and hasn't knocked it down once.. Yet :)

If you can see the LARGE amount of dusting sugar pouring out of the shaker.... She loves to help bake cookies :)

Cole's first bath

Here he is all snug after his bath.

Addie meeting Cole and Day 1 of life

Cole Robert Smith FINALLY arrives!!!

Here are some pictures from the BIG day! After almost 40 hours of on and off again labor, Cole finally arrived at 9:15 on Tuesday the 18th of November. He weighted 8 lbs 12 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. As many of you know he was born at home. We labored in the tub for hours and got out of the tub for the delivery. Cole did great during the labor and no problems with the ever changing positions. He are some pictures:

Baby Update

Well, there really isn't one... I go to the midwife/Nathropath on Monday for my almost 40 week visit. I'm feeling fine and have no complaints. I know this is the last time I will be pregnant, so I'm just enjoying feeling him move. I also know that these last few weeks/days are really the calm before the storm.. So I'm trying to relax and enjoy them.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and the good thoughts. We will keep you posted on when he arrives.

Dora sheets video

Commercialism has set in...

Here is Addie with her Dora sheets. We happened to be at Ross yesterday and saw these sheets, they were only $9.99 for the set. Addie was so excited when I put them on her bed this morning....I guess Dora is better than Barney??

Oh yeah and don't mind her Christmas PJ, those were the only ones that were clean :)
