We've made it to over four months now and the baby is still alive! Hurray!

I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday. The ultra sound could not have been any more obvious. We've got a nice little picture with legs spread wide and a little something popping way out there. It's a boy!

A whole lot has happened in our lives. Here's the Reader's Digest version:

Wow! It's been nearly two months since I've updated. Here's what's new:

On Tuesday, I took Jonathan to a playgroup. He tottered about playing with toys more or less ignoring me. The lady next to me was holding a little baby, and she let me hold him.

Jonathan is learning to talk! He's been able to say Momma and Daddy for some time as well as sign for food, drink, please and cheese.

Jonathan has discovered he is strong enough to open the fridge door. (Scary, I know!) He'll get in and explore the contents, move things around, take bottles out and walk around with them. However, whenever he is hungry and is able to get into the kitchen, he will pull out the cheese. He will toddle around the room shaking the bag of cheese in glee until he sees me. Then he eagerly hands me the bag and excitedly gives the sign for 'please.'

Poor David. I'm afraid I've been a little hard to live with lately; I've been extra moody. One night I was apologizing to David telling him how sorry I was and how I really am trying when he popped out with, "I think you're pregnant."

That was two weeks ago. As of last week, on Thursday the 26th of February, I found that I am indeed pregnant. We will be expecting a little someone to join our family near the end of October or beginning of November. How exciting! Jonathan will have a brother or sister to play with! And David and I will have a baby to snuggle once again.

That phrase totally doesn't apply here. Since I'm talking about flying, and rain and snow, sleet, as well as dark of night (for now) means that I can't fly.

Our little boy is getting so big! He's crawling all over and walking with assistance. He plays peek-a-boo (actually putting his head down and popping back up) and just recently he's started a new game. He'll give you something he's playing with then you give it back to him. He takes it and then he'll give it back to you and it goes back and forth until he takes it and discards it for something else.

David has just informed me that too much time has passed since I last blogged. So here is my update:

On Tuesday, I went to my first rehearsal with the kids at St. John's School at the Episkopi garrison. I am volunteering there taking over the dancing in their musical 'Annie.' It's fun! I've got another routine and a half ready for them to learn next week and I have a lot of questions for the teachers before I can do any more.
