1…2…3…

Josiah seems to be such a little sponge these days.  He just soaks EVERYTHING in.  This is definately the time if you have some habits that you don’t want your kids to pick up to STOP!!!  Josiah has been counting to 3 now.  He’s not only just saying something he’s memorized but he’ll line up animals and count them.  He’s also shown alot more love for Katarina lately.  He has stopped biting her pretty much.  He is so concerened with her and if we are going to walk the dog he gets mad if I don’t take her with us.  He’s still depraved and selfish sometimes but I’m so glad he’s starting to care about her more.  Last night he had several of his animals and a truck in this toy he calls there “howf” (house) I looked over and he had laid all the toys over including the truck and he said they were going “night night”  It was cool to see that he realized that animals need to lay down to go to sleep. 

Katarina is 6 weeks yesterday and growing so big.  I don’t know how much longer she’ll be in her 3 month clothes.  I think she’s bigger than Josiah was at this point.  Which shouldn’t be a suprise because she was a bit bigger than he was at birth.  She is now so attentive and will just stare at me.  She has started having true smiles as opposed to gas smiles.  She has the most biggest and most beautiful smiles ever.  I love it!  Katarina has also started moving her arms around touching her face and coos.  It’s so much fun to see her develope.

Much needed date!

Richard and I haven’t had a real date since our last anniverary in September.  When his parents came we asked them to watch the kids so we could go out.  We went to dinner at Mustard Seed which is an eclcletic reastaraunt here in Charleston.  Richard had fettucini carbonera and I had shrimp and lemon linguini.  We shared thai lettuce wraps for appetizer.  Afterward we grabbed some Starbucks and headed to the beach and laid under the stars.  This date was so special for us.  We just talked and talked uninterrupted and enjoyed each others company.  Very nice.

Parental Unit Visit 8/08

On August 21st Josiah, Katarina and I went to the Charleston airport to pick up Grannie and Grandpapa (rich’s parents).  They arrived bearing candy which is a tradition for them whenever we meet at the airports. 

 

Rich was able to get off for 3 days of their 5 day visit.  These are a couple pics from their visit.

Grannie picking out Katarina’s outfit.  She has 3 sons and 3 grandsons and finally after 27 years gets a girlie! 

On one of their many walks around the condos.

It rained practically their whole visit this is the market downtown flooded.  But, it didn’t keep tourists or vendors out. 

Lunch at Andolinis.  The boys trying to be patient!  Not a trait partial to Coronado men!

We have other ways of keeping ourselves entertained

Don’t Drink the WATER!!!

So, pretty much I’ve started a fad.  Besides the mass amounts of girls that I know that were pregnant with me.  It turns out that of our 8 married women of childbearing age in our church 5 of us were pregnant at the same time.  Mind you 2 conceived just 2-3 week before I had my baby.  But, we were still all pregnant together!  First pic is of us girls.  Then the “it was all your fault” men minus jeremy who is in iraq.

 

   

Please!  BEWARE!!! If you have no desire to become pregnant do not come near my vicinity!
