Christopher's Well Check

Christopher had his 18 month well check today. (I know, can you really believe that he is 18 months old already?!, Where did that time go?)
His doctor is quite pleased with his development. He weighed in at 22 lbs, 5 1/2 ounces and he is 32 3/4 inches tall. His weight is only in the 10th percentile, but his height is in the 75th. I voiced my concerns about him not talking a lot, but she told me that they are looking for them to say at least three words, and he says more than that, she also told me as long as he is babbling too, there is not a cause for concern. He does do these things...
His list of words is growing. In addition to mama, dada, all done, hi,& bye-bye, he is now saying car, ball, Blue (as in Blue's Clues), and CHEESE (anytime he takes a picture). He is pretty stubborn about saying words, but we know he does say them.

Fall fun with the Mallers!

This past weekend we spent a lot of time outside in the beautiful fall weather and so I thought that I would post a few photos from our weekend...

All is well here with us. Sydney is having lots of fun in school, this week they are talking about Halloween and pretending. They are also studying the color black. Tomorrow is wear black day!
Christopher is learning more and more words every day, though getting him to say them consistently can be quite a challenge! He likes to challenge us and keep us busy, that is for sure.
Brad and I had a fun date night last night. Our good friend Brittany stayed with the kids so we could go to the New Kids on the Block concert. For those of you who don't know, the NKOTB are my favorite band of all time, and my husband thought I deserved to see them again, since it has been about 18 years since I last saw them perform. He got me seats in the 11th row, closer than I have ever been, and my sister was going to go with me until she had somethings come up with work, so then Brad stepped in. We had a lot of fun, although it was a loud and late night!!
As for the new addition coming to our family, all is going well so far. I am seven weeks along. I have my first official appointment on November 5, though I have seen my family practice doctor already to do some of the tests. I have also had a thyroid hormone test done, and that came back normal. I will have to get tested for that quite often throughout the pregnancy. Overall I am feeling well, I am usually wiped out after work, and sleep really hard once I fall to sleep. In addition to working, and caring for the kids and our household, I am in school full time, but I am managing...I sleep as much as I can. Brad and the kids have been great!!
Hope you are all well. Happy Fall!

I can hardly contain my excitement....

Brad, Sydney, Christopher, and I are very pleased to announce that there will be a new member coming into our family sometime in June 2009. My due date is actually June 10. My first "official" doctors appointment is on November 5. I am currently 5 weeks along. It was a little bit of a shock, but a good one. We are all really excited. Sydney has insisted that she is getting a sister, and we have been trying to explain that it may not happen that way....

We will keep you all posted! Keep us in your prayers!

Love,
Brad, Stacey, Sydney, Christopher, and Baby
