Happy Birthday!

Today is my mom's (CiCi to the kids) birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! This is a picture the kids actually cooperated for this morning to send her on her special day:

This is Griffin's favorite new face to make. I call it his "duck" face. 

He's also figured out how to climb onto the fireplace. But, not quite how to get off of it, yet! I've also noticed that he now sings along with some songs. Brendan loves listening to Fresh Beat Band in the car and on one of the songs, Griffin sings along "la la la" with them. Also, this morning, Brendan was watching Mickey Mouse Club (which, of course, means Griffin watches some, too) and, at the Hot Dog Dance at the end, Griffin was singing "diggity dog." Haha! Brendan has taken to calling Griffin "Little Daddy" for some reason and says that's his new name. I'm not sure if he might have heard Griffin referred to as that by someone because he looks JUST like Tim. I can't imagine that he just came up with that on his own but who knows! Here's a picture of Brendan, for good measure :)

I will be 21 weeks pregnant on Sunday. Over halfway there (19 weeks left)! If Elly is like her brothers, she will come in more like 17 weeks, but we'll see if she follows suit. Here's a 20 week belly picture. She's still hanging out low, like Brendan and Griffin. I feel her kicks and movements very low. Tim can finally feel her as well and, on Monday, she was kicking so hard that my belly was moving. Usually, I wear the same pink shirt and maroon shorts for all pictures but I had to wear a purple shirt this week because our dryer was broken and the pink one was dirty. 

Hope everyone has had a good week and has a great weekend!
