This week at the Scharlau's





Our little water bug! Addy loves the pool- she is totally fearless, which is a little scary for us! But we are happy she likes the water!



Alivia's first bath in the kitchen sink! Big sister Addison was there to help.


Babies make the greatest faces :)

Still waiting...

Unfortunately, I don't have much to report. Baby still hasn't decided to join the outside world! I will be going to the OB tomorrow afternoon and I am hoping she will induce me. Until then, I am trying to keep myself busy around the house...

Happy 2nd Birthday Addison!

Addy and Milo playing with the new sand & water table.

Playing with the new tea set out on the patio. She sits like such a little lady doesn't she?

The morning of Addison's birthday party, we let her get a little practice in on her new tricycle. She'll need a little more practice! She just doesn't quite get the pedaling thing yet. Good thing there is a handle that goes on the back to let Mom and Dad push and steer!


Addy digging in momma's soon to be vegetable garden. She's my little garden buddy!


Addison's new big girl bed. She has been in her new room for about 3 weeks now and has done very well with the new bed. We have a little decorating to do still, but she loves her room! She had no problem giving up the crib in the baby room! Lets hope she still feels the same way when the baby moves in!

Addison's birthday party was lots of fun! We had a great day, sunny but not too warm. She got lots of new stuff to play with outdoors, which will hopefully keep her entertained in the backyard this summer! Addison had chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream for her birthday this year. She did a good job keeping herself clean this year! I probably didn't even need to take her dress off! It was a fun,yet exhausting day for everyone- mom and dad especially! We were thankful to have Monday off to clean up and rest!
Now that Addy's birthday has past, we can focus on getting Baby #2 out! We had an ultrasound two weeks ago to estimate the size of the baby, and it's definitely another 8 pounder. I guess I am destined to have big babies! The ultrasound tech said that this one has a lot of hair too. I'm excited about that! It took Addy 18 months to grow any hair that I could do anything with! So I went to the doctor today, she said things are moving along (not fast enough for me though). I'm at 3 cm. If I haven't gone into labor by next week Tuesday, we'll try inducing. I am trying to keep busy with cleaning and laundry, etc around the house (not to mention working 12 hr days still) to get things going!! I would love for things to get started tonight! Waiting is so hard this time around. I don't remember being this anxious to be done with Addison.
Well, the next time I post it will be to introduce Baby Scharlau #2!
