Peace Baby

Though there is no audible proof as of yet, we're pretty sure the first words that our little girl has said are "Peace Baby." She did not disappoint when her parents went for a 4D ultrasound last week and she promptly gave us this Hippie-like gesture. I don't remember us watching Forrest Gump or listening to any anti-Vietnam War music lately...apparently she's prepping for a career in international relations. That sure would be a great way for Mommy and Daddy to travel after they retire. She has been around Daddy watching an awful lot of his favorite team, the Lakers, who have been on quite a roll. Maybe this is the victory sign...though the Lakers did lose later that night. Did she jinx Daddy's team? Was she predicting the end of their winning streak? Was she telling Daddy not to worry since all streaks end eventually? Something tells me her little brain hasn't thought through all of those things yet and Daddy needs to get a grip on reality.

So crazy to think that we can get such a good glimpse of our little sweetheart at only 23 1/2 weeks along...technology has come a long way hasn'it it? We were so amazed to watch her moving her whole body - legs and arms and her little fingers and toes - all that and she only weighs about a pound! She is already smiling, punching, kicking, and an acrobat - having at one point both hands and a foot by her face and kicking mommy with the other one. She also is displaying some traits of each parent...quite amazing. The first half of the sonogram, she was shy and didn't want to wake up and show off (Gumby reserved nature) After some "coaching" on how this was her "time to shine," she took to the spotlight immediately - first shot was the peace sign (displaying the "Timmons" side of family with that little performance). It is quite an amazing experience to witness this early some personality traits of our little one, it is getting so hard to wait to meet her. Although we both know that she is exactly where she is supposed to be, we simply cannot wait to see if she is going to have brown hair, will she have Eric's eyes? One thing we already know - she is awesome already!

Wave bye-bye!
