Bunny Visit and Shots

The Bunny visited the Barreto house after a nice brunch at Anthony's restaurant overlooking the Pudget Sound, while it was chilly and overcast it was really pretty. The Bunny had to hide the eggs in our house because it was too wet outside. Daniel got a lot of candy, dinosaurs and cars. He was very excited to make sure that the Easter Bunny also visited every person we met. Clara also enjoyed her basket but she was a little less vocal about it.

Matt's Dad, step-mother and little sister Reni were out visiting. We had a great time visiting Pike's Market and UW's blossoming cherry trees.

Clara had her 6th week doctor appointment on April 13th. She now weights 10.1 pounds (50% percentile), and she is in the 25th percentile for height (21 inches, Daniel was 21 1/2 inches when he was born!) and head circumference. The doctor said she looked great!!! She had to get 3 shots, and she DID NOT like it.

Breakfast with Santa

Daniel and I went down to Portland last weekend since Matt was out of town. On Saturday morning we took the kids to a breakfast with Santa. Daniel love it. We were at the table right next to where Santa was sitting. Daniel was super excited to sit on Santa's lap and telling him what he wanted for Christmas. Afterwards, he continued wanting to go up to Santa and talk to him and show him the balloon hat. It was really cute to see how much fun and how excited he was. I can't wait for Christmas!!!!!

Halloween Fun

We had a fun Halloween week. Daniel dressed up as Spiderman. He loved his costume! He wouldn't let us call him "Spidey" until he had his mask on. The weekend before Halloween we went to the Woodland Park Zoo for their Pumpkin Prowl. There were hundreds of carved pumpkins and kids could go and get candy. The next morning we went down to the waterfront for some trick or treating.

Halloween morning we flew to Austin to spend the weekend with Taschi, Tony, Soli and Juliana. Daniel and Soli were so excited to see one another. Guille, Maria Martha and Reni also came up to spend the weekend with us. Soli decided that she wanted to match Daniel, so she was Spiderman also. They looked so cute together. Friday evening we went over to a friend of Soli's for a Halloween party. Then we did some trick or treating around Taschi's neighborhood. Saturday morning we went to Longhorn Caverns and did a really cool tour of some caves. The caves were created from underground rivers, which is very unique way for a cave to be made. Sunday we went to a great little taqueria. A bluegrass band was playing there and Daniel and Soli loved to dance to their music. I left Sunday evening, but the group all had fun on Monday going to place called Going Bananas where Daniel and Soli were able to run around a be crazy. Juliana also got into some of the fun!

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

We had our 20 week appointment and ultrasound. Daniel came with us so he could see his new brother/sister during the ultrasound. The baby is great, although scrunched up for most of the visit. Daniel got to hear the heartbeat which he really liked. After about 20 min. of checking out all the organs we found out the baby is a GIRL!!!! Daniel asked how we could change it to a baby boy and we told him we couldn't. He then asked "Why?," which was a bit harder to answer. We are all super excited and can't wait for the last 20+ weeks to pass.

M-I-Z-Z-O-U TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

Daniel got to watch his counsin Chase play in the Mizzou vs. Nevada football game today. Chase did a great job and Daniel was really excited when he scored a touchdown.

It's a......BABY!!!!!!!!!!

We are happy to announce that we are pregnant! I am currently about 11 weeks along, and the baby is roughly the size of a fig. Everything is looking good and the baby should come around March 18th.

Daniel is excited but doesn't want to be a big brother, he just wants to be a "3 year old boy!" He thinks the baby will be ready to learn how to ride his scooter as soon as he/she comes.
