Merry After Christmas and Happy Before New Year!

Well this post is LONG overdue! I hope everyone had a very nice Christmas & is excited for the New Year that's just around the corner. Kerri did really well ripping the wrapping paper off once she got the hang of it, especially for a 9 month old :) Patrick and I snuck Kerri over to the Glendale galleria and took some awesome pictures of her on Santa's set while he was on break. Take a peek:

She absolutely loved crawling all over Santa's set and even drew quite a little crowd. Since Santa was on a 2 hour break, we didn't feel that bad ~ little Kerri would be fast asleep with her afternoon nap before he put down his McDonald's cheesburger and fries :).

Her big present from Patrick and I was Elmo Live! and while she was super excited to rip off the wrapping paper and play with him a little bit, she's moved onto other toys such as mail, toilet paper rolls, Cheerios and Christmas cards that play songs. So Patrick and I think we just might wrap that up again for her second Christmas? See ~ here she is with the mail today at lunch:

And Kerri is expected to have a very big upcoming year where she'll soon become a big sister near the end of February to Jacob James Davis. I've always loved the name Jake so that will be his nickname & also professional football name. Here's the little man at 20 weeks:By now we're 29 weeks and counting. Both Patrick and I are soo excited to meet Jake. At this point, the doctor estimates him at about 4 to 4 & 1/2lbs and I seriously believe it; he's running a little larger than Kerri did at the same time. I feel just about as big as I was when I delivered Kerri last year. I have 3rd trimester pants from Kerri that I can't get into now. Nope, not even if I jumped from a 2 story building into them, they're soo not going to fit. Patrick's been running early in the morning so while he's getting inshape, I'm getting super far from out of shape! I'm more and more excited to get my two little ones in the jogger and get working as soon as I get the all clear from the doctor. And since we're lucky enough not to be in the middle of 3 feet of snow, Patrick and I took Kerri out for a 3 mile walk around Burbank this morning. It was about 50 degrees or so but can't complain. Jakey seemed to be very happy with our pace so we kept going :)

Well, its time to get Kerri down for a nap... hope all is well and we'll post again soon!
