Ultrasound pictures of Charlie

Our scanner crapped out on us, so I had to take a picture of the pictures. So, needless to say, they're not the best quality. But you get the idea!

Profile



Foot



3D pictures...he had his arms crossed like this the whole time.



The tech tried to adjust the picture so we could see "through" his arms in front of his face, and it worked, kind of. Looks a little bit skewed, but there is his face!

A Typical Day In Pictures

Here is a pretty typical day in the life of Ella and Mom. I just so happened to have the camera with me all day yesterday.

Helping make breakfast






Reading some books




Some time-outs and crying




Playing with Cooper outside






Painting



Making our own desserts after dinner






Bedtime!

Splash pad fun!

There is this amazing park about 10 minutes from our house, and the best part about it is the splash pad! Ella loves this place, and I love it because I don't have to chase her all around the park. We took our neighbors, Mandy and Michael, there with their son, Cooper, yesterday afternoon. Cooper and Ella are best friends and play together every day, and they had so much fun yesterday in the water!


They ran around like maniacs from the moment we got there!



Ella telling Cooper what to do. Poor guy!



She loves the water.



Some really cool glasses that she found there. Hello, Elton John!



Ella and Cooper at the Mexican restaraunt afterwards. They stole ALL of the cheese dip bowls from us, haha!

IT'S A BOY!

Our ultrasound last week confirmed that we are, in fact, welcoming a new baby boy into our family! Everything on the ultrasound looked great, and the tech said that he looked "really, super healthy". We are so excited, and can't wait to meet him! Ella is understanding more and more each day, and talks about how when Charlie gets here she will give him a hug and he will give her a hug, too. If there's much hugging involved remains to be seen, but she seems excited for now.

We've also picked a name: Charles Henry Harris, nn. Charlie. Coming December 2008!

The Harris Family Blog

Well, I figured I would join my peers in the twenty first century and put together a blog. What better time to do it than on the eve of our BIG ultrasound? Tomorrow morning at 8 am we are all heading to the doctor to make sure the babe is healthy and strong, and we will find out if we will be adding another girl or a boy!

Anyway, welcome to the Harris Family Blog!

Love,

Mikan, Abby, Ella, and To Be Announced
