We need help with a name...

So Little Man is here. He was born on June 20th (I know I give a fantastic Father's day present) at 12:03 pm weighing in at 7lb 13oz and 20 1/2 inches long. We just need to decide on a name and want your vote. The hospital says I need to give him a name by 11am on Wednesday. The choices are... 

Charlton We'd call him Charlie- This is cute and tugs at our heart strings because Xadi has been calling him this from the beginning.

Cohen- We like this for the uniqueness. After all we are nothing if not unique! 

Lincoln- This is Davi's pick, can't say I'm a fan but it's tested well. 

My sort-of post/ update

Okay so I really don"t have a post or much time- between trying to nest and get over this STUPID COLD! (I know who gets a cold in June? Well my little family- Xadi is just irresistible to the boys at church they give her kisses on the lips- Mother's curse for those of you who remember my day's before Davi.) Anyway "Little Man" is "prepping" for his arrival, just as Xadi did so no reason to get excited she hung out in "position" for 3 weeks! (I hope that was all tactful enough).

 I thought I would put up a link to My sister-in-law Caroline's blog so you can check out Xadi's trip to the Aquarium! She loved it! I asked her if Davi and I could take her again she said no only Emily and Aunt Caroline!

Painting

I can't believe it  been a month since I posted! What a slacker, oh well what can I say I've been lavishing attention on my girl since she's going to get the shaft soon and mommy just won't be fun for a little bit. I gave Truman the same attention before Xadi was born. then after I just gave him lots of love and kind words while I sat around holding Xadi. I'm hoping my plan will work as well with my non furry child. Be sure to checkout my other posts (Easter and Zoo Days) I finally got up! And Kathee's Blog for some super cute Xadi picts- I think the photographers may have had a little crush on her! Well she does charm the pants off everyone she meets! (you can also check out my AWESOME flowers)

Here are some cute picts of Xadi's first experience with water colors- I really hope she'll be the next Monet but it seems a career in the art of tattoos may be more up her ally, lets hope never to see permanent "sleeves" or face masks on our favorite bug! 

Look at those designs and that concentration! What a budding Artist!

Hmmm, What color to use next?

And here is where we start to go south!

Well at least she is pleased with her results and it is washable after all!

Easter

Our House easter egg hunt!

Party with friends!

Saturday morning in the park with Daddy!

Dancing Queen

I thought I'd share some of Xadi's sweet dance moves, from Kathee's wedding (Davi's sister).

She concentrates so hard on her moves it's hilarious I wish I had my video camera with me.

Elbows up!

Don't forget to Jump! Jump! Jump Around!

Make sure you strut your stuff! After all it's your Daddy mixing it!

zoo days

Xadi loves the Zoo! So in light of that and the impending arrival we've been trying to go to the zoo at least every other week. Here are some of the highlights.

She loves the carousel but will only ride on the peacock.

Note the red jacket and the picture on the tiger- she has to sit on it every time and have her picture taken. We almost always wear the red jacket so she can have her red slushy- it's my bribe to have her ride in her stroller then I can get a bit of a workout.

She loves Celeste!

And Daddy too!

This is one of my favorites! Look at the total euphoria on Xadi's face contrasted by Davi's shall we say disappointment in the carousel.

Enjoying the elephants with her cousins Abby and Jack.

Yep on the peacock again!

That's my girl! Love her!

What I love about two year olds!

They love to dress themselves! She had a really cute skirt on over her leggings but she said, "No I don't like it." So I told her it's so cute. She told me,  "It's not cute, I don't like it!"

Then notice the jacket! She didn't want me to help her fix it!   

Then there is the sweet hair! Just love it! She cracks me up!
