It's official..we are now 12 weeks along with Smith Baby #2..due date 11-11-07!
Head is to the Left and the Legs are to the Right. We had a good look at the "private areas" and it looks like we might be adding some baby dolls to our trucks and trains collection. The ultrasound was high definition so we were even able to see "her" sucking her thumb the entire time. Amazing, at 12 weeks "she" was kicking her legs all over and growing perfectly. We go back in 4 weeks...
Tyler this morning (5-1-07) doing his artwork before school. Does he get any sweeter!!!!
A few weeks ago, I traveled to Dallas for a nursing conference with some of my peers.
You can hardly see this, but this was the research poster presentation myself and Lisa did at the conference...we WON for outstanding educational research presentation!

Tyler, March 2007.
Well, it has been a busy month and now that I remember my password I can update again. I don't know where my head is:) We have had a few big events..the biggest being that Tyler has "no more pacifer!!!" On friday night I was working and Eric could not find the paci when it was time for bed. He told Ty that "paci was all gone" and Tyler just looked at him with a serious look and said "paci all gone..." That was it! Here I thought it was going to be the most tramatic event in my toddlers life thus far. And it turned out.."Paci all gone did the trick." So with each bedtime and naptime he tells us the paci is all gone! It is too cute, other than the withdrawl symptoms of extreme irritability over the last few days we are doing great:)
We are loving the spring time, summer weather and enjoying playing outside during the days. Tyler's 2 year check up was great, he was in the 20% for weight and 50% for height. The doctors say he is very healthy. He is repeating everything these days. He loves to say his ABC's and count his numbers. It is amazing at 2 what he already knows. Well, we are off to start the day! Have a great week!

Carmen gets married!!!! This is Carmen and her "ring boy" as he has said for weeks.
What a beautiful bride, on her trolly to the wedding.
Eric and I celebrating at her Rehersal dinner.


It was an amazing weekend, my dear friend Carmen got married! We spent a great time in Atlanta for the weekend (a trip when you live an hour outside the city). We enjoyed great food at Maggiano's for her rehersal dinner and lots of toasting!
We also got to see our friends Ashley and Jen and my sis to celebrate Ashley's 30th birthday. It was a great weekend and I am going to be catching up on sleep the whole week...

PS> Tyler did not perform his "ring boy" duties, although he did "ham it" up for the camera after the ceremony to appear that he did:) What can you expect from a just 2 year old:) We were proud parents anyway...when it was his turn to walk down the isle with mommy he screamed inside the Catholic cathedral...GO HOME, GO HOME! Nice:) I just smiled and went down the isle as a proud mom and matron of honor.

I can hardly believe 2 years have gone by! We will celebrate today with family in town and enjoy yummy "cake" as Tyler has been talking about it for days....He holds 2 fingers up so he gets it a little bit but really just likes that there is a Bob the Builder Tablecloth on:) It is a beautiful sunny day in Georgia, hope you have a great day! We will for sure....Love, A very proud mommy.

Dear Friends and Family,
It has been a while since we posted not because we were too busy, just too busy to figure out my password, where has my memory gone:) Well, Tyler is amazing us every day. He is talking up a storm and learning new words all the time. He is saying his ABC's all the way to Z, and is counting his numbers. He has even started telling me when it is time for his bath and "night night", I never thought I would see the day:) He has also started his Mother's morning out school on Tuesday and Thursday and it is going really well. I think it is more Children's morning out, he loves his teachers and his new buddies. We will be celebrating his birthday in just over a week:) Love, Colin & Tyler

I worked this Christmas day, here is just a glimpse at the amazing group of nurses I work with.
Happy New Years!
We have had a really great holiday. Eric has not had to travel for the last few weeks and we have loved every minute of it. We celebrated New Years with a great night out to the hot spot in downtown Buford, Aqua Terra Bistro and 37 Main. Thanks to Eric's parents for playing with Tyler while we enjoyed a great night out!
Happy New Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Santa Showed up Early this morning!
Smith family Christmas Eve 2006

Merry Christmas! The Smith family celebrated one day early this year because Colin is working this Christmas day. We had our amazing family come visit and had a great dinner last night as well as breakfast and lots of presents this morning. Tyler had a ball. He woke up about 8am and was very cautious about coming down stairs his face was priceless when he saw the family and of course lots of presents. His favorites so far, are his new table, books, basketball goal and a harmonica and shopping cart. He is definitely going to be busy for a while! We had a great day and are so incredibly blessed this year. We hope you enjoy this season with your family and friends! Love, Colin

Christmas 2005, Tyler was not even 1 yet. Just wanted to share some memories!
We spent tonight driving around looking at lights and went to the Lake Lanier Night of Lights. It was great, 6 miles of "lights" which is also Tyler's favorite word these days. His favorite parts were the candy canes and of course the snowmen. He can't get enough snowmen these days. We went to visit our family in Greenville this weekend and had a blast. Tyler only broke 2 ornaments at Auntie Caryl's house and only removed about a dozen from my granny's tree, so all in all, it was a successful trip:) We look forward to seeing everyone again soon!

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend in Blue Ridge with our family. Tyler absolutely loved the creek in the backyard and must have thrown a hundred rocks, finally he just sat down and got soaked and loved it! We celebrated my father's 60th birthday with all of our mountain friends. I also got to snuggle lots with my nephew adam! We hope your family had a great week too! Love, Colin

This morning he took his clothes from the dryer and put them in the right drawer in his room! I think we have finally made it!!!!! He is such a joy! We celebrate 21 months this friday. Before we know it, he will be 2 years old. Have a great week!
