I know. I know. I haven't updated this site in forever. Most of you probably don't care because you can follow every step of our lives on facebook. Some of you still aren't using facebook and are all "Why don't you ever update anymore?"

So I thought it was time to check in. Mr. Brind'Amour is fabulous. He's almost 8 months old and is just as adorable and squeezable as ever. He's crawling now, which is a new development that occurred a week or two ago. He just *got it* one day. It was really awesome to watch. And now he pulls himself up on you a little bit and you can see him making the movements to try to push himself into a standing position from a crawl...so I don't think it will be long before he toddling all over the place. I am loving this age...he's so interactive, and still so sweet. He loves to get a good snuggle in the morning and when he's sad or frustrated. When he's winding down at night he likes to just sit on a lap and veg. Sometimes he can be a whiny pain, but it's rare and usually short-lived. Overall, he's an absolute joy and Ted and I still sit and stare at him in amazement.

In other news, as most of you know, we are expecting baby #2 in September and have recently found out that it's a GIRL, which we are thrilled about. We are quickly becoming a "unit," as Ted says, and we are very excited. Sure, we look at the bank account and wonder if it's all going to work out okay, but we're glad to be having them close together because I think they'll grow up to be great friends. I have an ultrasound today, so perhaps I will post some pictures of our little girl soon.
