Creepy.

Oh wait, it's just the babe...

just want to put this out there

I (Joe) had nothing to do with this whole "cutest blog on the block" business. There, I feel better.

Baby number two is half way cooked.... it's a boy!

I'm thrilled because I was concerned that we were only going to have girls, and that I would have to have lots of kids to keep on trying to have a son.

snow day!

I've been complaining way too much about the cold weather recently, and so of course today it is dumping snow. So much so, that they shut down work early and so I got to come home.

To my surprise (and happiness), when I got home, Nat was shoveling the driveway! After quickly changing, I went out to help. Chelsea was loving the snow and helping out the best she could.

Kids make everything more fun, and suddenly I'm not hating this weather so much... Bring on the snow season!

Inside to warm up!

...and a video for good measure.

This was all done on my iPhone... Doesn't it take good pictures?

Where she belongs

In the kitchen! Haha


Oh, and the only thing missing here is that she isn't barefoot.

I like Chelsea's pose better... but see the resemblance?

date night with the babe

Last night Natalie had a girls night out, so I decided to take Chelsea out. Sitting at home is no fun.

We went to go see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and to my surprise, she was free! I had no idea that kids under two were free at the movies. For the longest time I didn't want to take her because I thought maybe she would squirm and be really annoying, but as it turns out she did great. We went to a 7:00 showing, so she was a little on the tired side, which I think worked to my favor. She just sat on my lap the entire time and played with her hair, ate some of my pretzel, and held on tight during the scary parts.

We got back pretty late, so that wasn't so great putting her to bed. But it was definitely worth it.

One quick side story: While I was putting her down, she didn't want to do anything (get dressed, have her diaper changed, sit on the chair and be rocked, etc...). So she laid on the floor and got a book, stroked the book as if it were someone's back and fell right asleep. That little girl just loves books so much.
