I'm finally getting my prince!

We found out on Feb 21st that we are expecting our first little boy! We couldn't be more excited. Layla told us all along that she was having a "baby brudder." I asked her what about a sister and she said "NO, it's a brudder!" Well she was right.

Mason Keith Waadevig is a happy healthy little guy that we can tell from the ultrasound. Everything looked perfect! He should be making his appearance sometime around 7/10/11. His ultrasound shows he's a little more than a week ahead! Already trying to be a big boy!

He'll get to carry on Grandpa Waadevig's last name and Grandpa Gappmayer's first name. We haven't told my dad yet but I'm sure he'll be estatic. I'm just as positive that Grandpa Waadevig would have been so proud if he was still here today.

Happy Birthday Preslyn aka Peanut!

Preslyn Rose Waadevig was born on Jan 27th, 2010 and is such a blessing to our lives. She is still our little peanut even a year later. She is finally starting to grow and catch up but is still so petite. She is one of the happiest babies I have ever met! She has a smile that just melts your heart!

While she looks like she is amused to be opening presents she really only cared about three things. Her cake, the tissue paper and her cousin Elliot that she would have preferred to go play with rather than being stuck with me! She got a lot of great gifts and is enjoying them all. We love watching her play even if it's with the noisy toy Uncle Jake got her! Those things really need volume control!

Preslyn was not shy about her cake. She loved it! She was a little messy but not too bad. She was making sure she could get every bit into her mouth. She messed around with trying to eat the frosting until I cut a piece that she could actually pick up. She ate that entire piece you see! Even though she is our peanut she sure doesn't eat like one!

Elliot's First Birthday Fun!

Elliot Jacob Lanphere was born on Jan 21st! It's amazing how much they grow and change in just one short year. It's been amazing to be an aunt. I'll admit though at times I forgot I was just the aunt. I'm so used to being the only one with kids!

Elliot had a ton of fun at his birthday party! He loved playing with the balloons that covered the floor. Unfortunately his cousins were having just as much fun and most of the balloons were popped very shortly.

Elliot wasn't too thrilled about the idea of his cake. He seemed annoyed by the frosting being messy. He did eat a few bites and then was washed off so that he could get back to playing with his cousins! He seemed to enjoy his party!
