full steam ahead
I just read through my last update which I wrote in December. The last line was “I hope to be in touch more often now that the worst (first trimester) is past.” Quite funny as I have rarely written so infrequently
We are all doing well. I am 8 months pregnant, a balloon already and getting bigger by the day. Katya just turned 2 on Saturday. She is doing really great - learning and growing all the time. She is just beginning to speak in sentences. She says things like
- “No eat grass
- “No myamya baba. New toys. Mama by.” (I don’t want to go downstairs for breakfast. I want to play with my new toys with Mama sitting next to me.)
- “KaKa poop. Need new diaper
- “No dirt. Play on grass
- “No Papa push” (when Peter tries to get her to walk a little faster)
She can walk about 1/2 mile or so without getting tired. She loves to play in the playground now - swinging, playing in the sandbox climbing and sliding. She loves to play with her little village people, her babies, play dough, water, and almost anything else she can get her hands on. She still loves to swim and take baths.
Peter is doing well. He has been sorting out and posting all his photos on-line in preparation for the rush of new baby photos.
