The big brother-to-be has been enjoying lots of fun times with both Mom and Dad while we anticipate the impending arrival of Zoe. He has attended two baby showers, and he seems to know there is a difference between the bath shower and a baby shower. (One means playing in water, the other means cake.)
I haven't often gotten off topic here, but I learned about a new website this week and wanted to share about it. Prezi is really a very interesting new program, and if you haven't heard of it, you should definitely check it out. It isn't flying cars or anything, but when they talk about how technology is changing, I think they are taking a step. I played with it and made the following presentation to share. It is only three "slides" and you can click through them by selecting the play button on the bottom of the viewer and you can make it full screen by selecting more on the bottom right.
Hope you enjoy.

Getting ready for Zoe
Q went with Katharine and I to the most recent doctor (midwife) appointment. He was great, helping to find Zoe's heartbeat and helping to measure his Mom's stomach. He talks about "Z" a lot and talks about how he will be the big brother.
After we uploaded the video, he wanted to watch the "heartbeat" several times. He kept coming back to the computer to say, "heartbeat." When we asked him whose heartbeat it was, he would tell us "Zoe".

Birthday Bliss
Quinlan turned 2 years old a few weekends ago. Our little man keeps growing. It was a joy watching him go through the day and finally understand that the singing was for him.
Like a normal Sunday, he was up early, so he got his first present from Mom and Dad
right after waking up.
Checking it out - he knows he can do that too!
Swish!
Mossil and Fossil were given doctors' clearance to travel and were there to help celebrate. Fossil made his own special wrapping paper for Q, with a bunch of photos that he wanted to check out. I don't think he knew he was supposed to open this one up.
Reading his card from Grandma MJ and Grandpa Roy. The hungry caterpillar......POP!
(In case you're not sure what that means, Quinlan refers to the character "the very hungry caterpillar" as Pop because in the book he "pop"s out of his egg.)
Thomas DVDs, which are great because they are all 5 minute stories, so he can occasionally watch one story, and I don't get all alarmed about him watching too much TV.
Q picked out his cake flavors at the HEB with me, and then came home and helped his Mom mix it: vanilla pudding, white cake, and strawberry frosting. Katharine fancied it up by slicing fresh strawberries and putting them in between the two layers. It was yummy, and worth waiting for, as Q demonstrates here.
Blowing out some candles.

Q was a great birthday celebrant, and I believe he is ready to help celebrate his sister's birthday, which is quickly approaching. Katharine saw one of the midwives this week, and she and Zoe are both doing great. Only a few more weeks to go! On the next visit (the 36-week over Spring Break), we're planning to bring Quinlan along to find the heartbeat and share in the excitement.
