Gareth giving the baby kisses. It took some convincing for him to not lift up my shirt and kiss my bare skin, which is how he does it at home :)
A picture of Gareth, me and the little one (who's hiding)
Gareth and his new tool belt and tools. It was a Christmas/birthday present that has been in the closet. He got too many toys and we didn't have a place to put them all, so we've been saving some to hand out for the next few months.
We have lost Gareth's last "baby" word. Ga-ga. It means guitar. He now says "got-tar." Much clearer and grown-up. But it made me sad. No more baby Gareth.
On the fun side of growing up, he really enjoys helping do things. He was very eager to help Eric carry in the groceries today, helping carry the box of diapers into his room and such. These are a picture and video clip of him helping Eric build the new shelves for Gareth's (now "the kids'") room.
We got a new, much bigger, shelving unit for one wall and a toddler bed. So now we're all set, furniture wise for the new baby's arrival. We're in pretty good shape for 8 weeks out. Basically we could survive 4-7 days with what we've got (clothes, diapers, car seat, etc.), which makes me feel a lot better. Now I just have to get everything washed, organized and put away. Does nesting hit earlier the second time around? I've been making these mental lists of things I need to clean and organize (like the toaster oven and our DVD collection) because I know once the baby arrives it won't get done for a year.

Fun! What a great big brother he will be. You look beautiful, Bethany.
Ira has that exact same tool set! He loves helping daddy fix all kinds of things and they're so nice because they don't mark up the things that he wants to "fix" (like the walls and the chairs and such). Beautiful pictures!
