Where did my BABY go?

Another good thing about being pregnant is I miss having a baby so I'll have another one soon. Sophie is growing up so fast and I look at her sometimes with astonishment that she's not a little baby anymore. Last week, she graduated to her big girl car seat and she had a ball playing on it while I was reading the instructions. She's beginning to try to climb on everything, though she usually can't get her legs to cooperate. She's not quite tall enough to get over the bath edge, or the toy box, or anything else that interests her. She's also started mimicking me on the phone, which is adorable. She'll hold my cell phone to her ear and chat away. If I'm on the phone, she'll pretend with her hand and she's just so serious about it. I love it! I think she'll be a chatterbox when she starts talking because she's so animated and babbles ALL the time. Can't wait to see what she has to say! Here are a few pics of our darling.

Did somebody call a plumber?

"Not now mommy, I'm on the phone!"

And everything nice! Benoit and I are excited to announce a baby girl is on her way into our family. We were not sure what to think at first - I think we had both expected a boy. But after an afternoon to sink in, we are thrilled to have a family full of little precious girls. I know Sophie will love having a little sister and I hope they will be close friends as they grow up together. We may have to get another boy dog to even things out for Benoit!

So now begins the planning - what to name the baby, what furniture to buy, how will we decorate her room, etc, etc. I've been looking forward to this part for a few months and am super excited about it! I'll be posting lots of cute pics as we prepare our sweetie's room. This time around, I know ALL about etsy.com. If you haven't discovered it, get ready for a new obsession!
