evening the teams



yes, it's true. we are having another baby.
and it's a girl!

so as graham says, the teams are even.
two parents
two kids
two dogs
two boys (or three counting nigel)
two girls (or three counting kylie)
one family

baby girl weddick is due in april.
we are still getting used to the idea
that we are having a girl.
of course, aunt ashley and aunt nic
are both so extremely excited.
not to mention the grandmas!

ryker is going to love having a sibling.
a teacher brought one of the infants
to ryker's class the other day.
ryker grabbed a toy car and sat down to
play in front of the baby,
letting the baby touch the toy.
he loves playing with other kids and
seems fascinated with babies
(even if it is short-lived).

as far as the pregnancy goes,
it has gone very well.
i've been more tired this time
(and maybe slightly more grumpy)
but i think that has more to do with
chasing a one-year old around while being pregnant.

i waited a while to say anything
because i needed to tell my new boss.
i dreaded the "thanks for hiring me,
i'll be out for three months next year"
conversation but as i should expect at this company,
my boss was very excited and supportive.

so now graham and i are increasing our focus
on selling our house and finding the next one.
we want to move before the baby comes
but ideally want to move before christmas
(that's only six weeks away!).

anyway, we are extremely happy and
excited to start telling everyone the good news!

boxing

my mom has taught her dogs to box.
she'll say "katie, let's box"
and katie will sit on her back legs
and lift up her front paws and
move them like she's boxing with my mom.

it's very funny to watch and
last night was the first time
ryker saw the boxing and
he was amazed!

ryks immediately ran to katie,
bent over so he was at eye level,
and started swinging his fists at her,
apparently trying to
get her to box with him.

katie looked terrified
(she is already cautious around ryker)
and we were all dying from laughter.

ryks is definitely starting to steal the show.
graham and i spend every evening
watching him play and figure things out.
and we can’t think of a better way to spend our time.
