Mommy and I went to the doctor today and everything looked good. I am 36.5 weeks now. The doctor told mommy that she would be okay with setting an induction date because she thiinks I will be a big baby. So, the date is 9/20. Mommy and daddy are very excited to have a set date that I will be here by. Adam is not quite as excited, but he'll learn to love me. So, get ready everyone. Just a few more weeks.

I have been feeling pretty crummy this past week. I just got another molar on top and there's another one breaking it's way through. But, i think I've made it through my rough patch and I am feeling better. I was nice to mama tonight and we played all night after she came home from work. I brought mama the bag of lucky charms and she pulled out a handful for me and I picked out all of the marshmallows and then let her have the rest. Yup, I'm only one but I'm already picky for just the marshmallows. I'm walking more and more now. I really don't take more than a couple of steps between furniture but I'll get there eventually.

My favorite show is Choo Choo Soul. I like to stand by the TV and dance when it comes on. We sing about veggies and beatboxing and animals. It's great.

Okay, it's past my bedtime. Nigh Nigh!

Yeah! I'm 34 weeks old now. I'm about 4.5 lbs and 18 inches long. My heart rate has consistently been in the 150s and mama is doing well also. I move around a lot although there isn't a lot of room to do so. Mama thinks I'm all curled up in a ball right in the middle of her belly.

Adam and I were busy tormenting mama last weekend when dada was away in St. Louis. I was laying on mama's spine in just a way that made it hard for her to walk. Adam was extremely cranky because he was sick and teething and wanted mama to carry him everywhere. Poor mama was trying to carry two babies at the same time and we were both beating her up. We were all very happy to see dada come home on Sunday.

Well, I'll keep you all posted on my progress. Mama will be having weekly doctor's appointments now. The time is a coming!!!

Mama is going to be SO OLD tomorrow. I find it funny that my only two uncles share birthdays with my mama and dada. I hope mama and dada don't get any ideas about my future siblings. June 28th is my day and I'm not sharing!

Anyway, I've been a pretty busy boy lately. I talk a lot. I don't really say anything that makes sense, but it works for me. I love to go around the house pushing my cars and saying "lalalala." I also love making the sound of a snake "Tssssss..." Mama was playing air drums in the car today and I just laughed and laughed and then I would make the noise too. Then we were listening to Old MacDonald and I would go "Mmmmmmm" every time the cow said "Moooo." These are great noises.

This morning Mama and I made Dada blueberry scones. We have all of these nummy blueberries from the grandparents and mama is trying to think of fun ways to eat them. She gave me some of the scones and I spit them back out. Yuck. I'll stick with blueberry pancakes. Mama gave me blueberry pancakes this morning and I started throwing them all on the floor. Then she wiped me up and put me on the floor so she could clean my highchair. While she was doing this I crawled over to my collection of blueberry pancakes on the floor and started eating them smooshing the blueberries all over my face. Mama caught me and said, "Oh Adam!" I guess I looked pretty guilty with blueberry all over my face. I'm a boy..blueberry pancakes taste much better after they've been on the floor for awhile. My motto..."What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Dada and I have a new game. We like to have tea parties. But, these aren't those girly tea parties. It's a "Freshly Brewed Iced Tea, No Lemon Party." Dada gives me a big tea glass and I take an imaginary sip and go "Ahhhh." Then I let dada take a sip and he says "Yummy." Then I continue to drink. These parties are delightful.

Okay, well more to come later. I have to get some sleep so I'm not cranky on Mama's birthday.

Love,

Adam

*Stretch* *Yawn* It's getting awfully cramped in here, so I like to tuck my feet in right under mommy's ribs and then stretch so my head pushes on her bladder. That bladder sure is soft and cushy. Mommy and I went to the doctor last week and we both were cleared with a clean bill of health. I have a strong heartbeat, my head is down and I'm about 4 lbs now. Mommy's been doing a lot of walking lately because she keeps taking me on a train with her into the City. Mommy is working really hard these days and I'm making sure to exhaust her so she's asleep as soon as she hits her pillow.

I can't wait to meet everyone in a few weeks. Especially that brother of mine. I have a few tricks up my sleeve for him...
