The Big News

I have some wonderful news....I'm pregnant! We are expecting our little miracle around the end of May or beginning of June. I'm not feeling so great, but Miguel and Curt have been angels. Miguel has been doing the dishes and any other 'too smelly' jobs. When I told Curt about us having a new baby, he pointed to the picture of him as a baby and I suppose that is as close as we can get to an explanation right now. I think he will be an awesome big brother. He will be really excited to have a little friend to play with (eventually).
Recently Curt has discovered his belly button and mine too. He is so interested in everything right now. He loves to sneak up behind me when I'm cleaning something from the floor and pull up my shirt and give me a raspberry on my side. Then we both laugh hysterically. He is pretty cute.
He loves Miguel's motorcycle. He points to it and says, "Vroom vroom." Then he'll say Dada, go, vroom vroom. It is cute to see how his language is developing. He knows that Miguel will take him to the park and let Curt climb up the slide, the wrong way, and then slide down. When Miguel walks in the door, Curt runs up to him and says, "Go, go!" and leads Miguel over to the park. They play for about 45 minutes every night. Sometimes he will go sit in his little car, which is a stroller and say, "Go, vroom vroom."
Curt heard a rooster last Sunday and since then, he has been trying to make that noise. He sucks in air and that is his closest attempt. We listen to primary music as we drive home and his favorite song is 'If You're Happy and You Know It.' One day we listened to it 5 times in a row because he would cry when it ended. He likes to blink his eyes, although he often just squints, he touches his toes and he tries to snap his fingers, but he always claps when it's over. Yesterday he did the popcorn actions to 'Popcorn Popping On the Apricot Tree." He gets just as excited as we do when he learns something new.
participant. Curt loved the whole show. He was either clapping or dancing, moving his head to the music the entire night. Miguel thinks he is really trying to show his Chilean side. Here are some pictures from that night. Miguel danced with Grace and some other lady We went to the Chilean Independence Day celebration in September and Miguel was a huge danced with Curt. He was happy to go with her though. I guess he is a bit of a showman, just like his dad. The whole night was pretty long and very loud for Tammy, Becky, Lini, Sammy, Grace and me, but Curt was having such a great time. He was not ready to go when we left.
