Here is some older footage we dug out of the archives. In the first clip Mariah is dancing to the music from the hilarious TV show Flight of the Conchords. In the second clip she is arguing with her daddy about which movie to go see--Coraline OR Confessions of a Shopaholic aka Speak Prada. Enjoy!

Mariah is loving going to the pool almost everyday. She has become quite independent in it as well.

Hey guys. We are still doing well.
Cody picked up a part time job while we're waiting for the other stuff to come through. He's been submitted for hire at a credit union--we just have to wait to find out which branch he will go to. That job will be great for us. He has a second interview with another place on Monday and we're still waiting to hear on a third job where, at this point, no news is good news. So, i think we're in good shape.

I went to the hospital on Wednesday to get a shot to stop some early contractions. I'm fine now. I went to the doctor today and i'm measuring small so they did an ultrasound to check the baby's size. He's 5lbs 4 oz so we want him to do a little more growing before he makes his debut.

Mariah is so old now. It's like she turned 3 and now she knows she has to be responsible and follow directions. She goes down for naps and to bed without a fuss and stays in her bed all night. She's eating more, she cleans up after herself (most of the time) and she is just so helpful. I think she is ready to be a big sister. She doesn't think so though. Cody was telling her that she had to share mommy and daddy with the baby. She looked at him and said, "No, not YOU!" I guess she's fine sharing mommy. That's probably a good thing.
