We're having another Baby!!!

For those of you who haven't already heard, the Vick Household is growing! Baby Vick #2 is due May 13, 2009!!! We thought it was about time for the new family member to make "its" first photo debut on the blog.





The photos are from our 13 week ultrasound on Nov 4th. Baby Vick is doing great. Mommy's a little worried though b/c even at this early date he/she is significantly larger than big brother Jake was at the same point in time. Everyone says not to worry but Mommy's hoping the baby doesn't wind up that much bigger than his/her big brother was at delivery!!! Though Steve was promised that this time around we would find out the sex, HE has since decided HE'd rather be surprised again! So it doesn't look like we're going to find out this time around either....we'll all have to wait til May to discover this baby's true identity!

More Halloween

Jake Loved his Lollipop and sat nice with Aunt Chickie to eat it.

Jake and Grandma Joyce!

Jake and Grandpa Kevin!


All this Halloween fun sure makes a lion thirsty!!!


Happy Halloween from the Vicks!

Happy Halloween!

Jake didn't initially embrace the idea of Halloween! He fought Mommy putting on the costume and cried until she took it off!!!


After his nap however Mommy bribed Jake with a kit kat and wound up with a very happy little lion! How Adorable is he????

And of course there was time for a photo shoot with his Halloween buddy Dracula! Although he didn't waste any time eating that kit kat!


Then it was off to Aunt Chickie's to hand out candy with Mommy, Aunt Chick and Gi Gi!


And he was allowed to eat one of the lollipops he was handing out!!! This Halloween thing just gets better and better!
Jake didn't so much like the kids wearing masks with their costumes so he didn't give them any candy but he did enjoy putting it into the bags from time to time! He's quite the little helper!

Jake's Halloween Friends

Jake LOVES Mommy's Halloween people Halloween Decorations!

"Hello? Sorry, Frankie and Drac are sleeping, call back later!"

He wrestles with them!

He holds the phone while Frankie talks on the phone!

And he hugs them!!! Such a sweetie!

Little Man Jake

Jake is talking a little now and then...pretty much if he feels like it. He says Mama, Ma, Mom, Dadda, Da, Manma (grandma), eihi (gi gi), Banana, and occasionally repeats other things we say but tends not to repeat them again for quite some time. haha He is also becoming fluent in baby sign language. He can sign eat, more, drink, & done. It is adorable and really helps him communicate during this time where words escape him.
Jake is big into his cars and trains now! One time Mommy drove one on his head and he must like the way it feels because on occassion he does it to himself!!!
He was also dressed just like his Daddy that day! A mini me...too cute!
Jake looks cool wearing his Daddy's shades! "Mom, no pictures please!"

Jake loves going out with Mommy! They take walks, go to the park, go to gymboree to hang out with his friends....etc....

Jake Loves Tiki!! He pats his hand on the floor so that Tiki will come sit near him! Tiki doesn't always oblige but Daddy was near by to help out.

Jake loves reading his Thomas the Tank Engine Books! He is having so much fun before bed time with Daddy!
