Large and in Charge

You probably thought I was talking about myself with that title but I was actually referring to Deegan's personality. We are approaching his second birthday and we are very curious to see how the 2's go and if they are going to be "terrible." Of course we are hoping for the best as #2 is right around the corner and I think we are going to have our hands full.
Funny thing with #2 is that we just realized about 2 weeks ago that we were having a baby (mentally). We have both been so busy traveling out of state for work, chasing after Deegan and living our current lives that we forgot to talk about #2 ... like a name maybe, how we are going to afford daycare for 2 and what the sleeping arrangements look like for the boys. Funny how you have all the time in the world to plan for the first baby and the poor second child is forgotten (in a sense). With that said, no we do not have a name yet but hope to when we leave the hospital at this rate ;) Overall this pregnancy is going well besides that first trimester where I thought I might die from being sick. I would define this pregnancy as follows: strawberry milkshakes, grapefruit, cheese, graham crackers, exhausted and on the airplane.
Our camera has been on the fritz so some of these pictures are old as they are from our phone ... sorry!
And the motor sports begin

Yep, he is definitely a Heim. God help me ... how does being a dare devil just come naturally to this family? We sure as heck did not tell him or show him to put his feet up as he drives down the street.

So peaceful when he sleeps ... he is also getting huge. We are going to be making the transition to the big boy bed soon!

He loves snow!

Just flops anywhere he can

Little boys and tractors. I am pretty sure it is built into their brains to be attracted to these huge machines.

We have to now buy shirts that have cool things on them otherwise we have no chance of getting him changed in the morning ... hence, airplane shirt. More importantly to note are his big boy/dada shoes. I am pretty sure he has a shoe fetish. That is all Schillinger.

After bath and "the run of naked Deegan."

Boys and their cars. He is smart enough to always make sure they are facing the correct direction.

Blowing bubbles

Sad day when I ask for a stroller for my birthday present. When did my life turn in such a different direction? With that said, I love it and cannot wait to use it!!! Thank you to my dada and bug.

Now my question is when did things go wrong for Eric. For his birthday he asked for a Roomba Vacuum. I am pretty sure if you asked him 3 years ago if he would ever ask for a vacuum for his birthday he would laugh but look at him now. It was pretty cool considering we would schedule it to run at night and wake up to a clean house. Just funny to see how our priorities have changed and what practical lives we now lead.

Never a Dull Moment

Daredevil in the making. At least daddy put a helmet on ...not sure how the rest of your bones are going to hold up!

Tents double as a great sliding toy upside down ... thanks grandpa for showing Deegan who as a memory like an elephant. The ride never ends!

Reading time ... actually this book reads to you and he gets so excited when he hears his name.

Beauty School learnings: Posture is very important.

Not so happy after Eric dumped him into a huge snow pile.

Destiny

I have always know I was destined to be surrounded by men my whole life. First, with my brother, then with all boy cousins on both sides of the family and then 2 new step-brothers. I have since been blessed with a beautiful boy who consumes my whole world only to find out this next baby is another BOY! I forever see trucks, tools, sports, motorcycles, bugs and hospital bills in my feature. Eric swore up and done that is was a girl because my pregnancy was exactly opposite ... so much so he did not even go with me to the ultra-sound! Life's little surprises!

I'll post pictures later once I download them from the camera but needed to get an update out there! Heim boy #2 ... we cannot wait to meet you!

Happy Holidays!

Thank goodness the holiday bonanza is over! I am thinking next year we just tell our family to come to us because this year was hectic, our naps suffered and Eric and I are spent. How do people do it with 2?!!! With all that said, Deegan did rake in big time when it came to presents and he could not be more blessed. Now the question is, where do I fit all these presents because most are large and I HATE clutter in my house. Ugh!

I did get in trouble this year because I asked Santa to bring Deegan a vacuum, ironing board, shopping cart and kitchen. Yep, I am trying to domesticate him at an early age! JK! He obviously has a lot of little girl friends and these seem to be his favorite toys when we go to their houses so I thought he would like it at home too. All of Bug's grandpa's and uncle's were concerned so they took it upon them selves to buy "manly" items that were not on his list. Too Funny!
Its as manly of a shopping cart as one can buy ... AND he loves to push it.

Tool Bench ... definitely manly.

Daddy loving on his yogurt faced baby! Bug is fueling up for the next round of presents.

His uncles bought him his first BMW ... potentially his last. But this too is "manly"

His FAVORITE gift is a vacuum. HILARIOUS!!!! Eric and I are hoping that now he would like to help us vacuum vs needing to be held or put into the backpack because it is killing us. We need a maid.

6:00am and Deegan decides he must have some cheese balls before he can eat his waffles. He knows he is bad.

Bug's new favorite hiding place

Love this picture!

Handsome boys!

Life as we know it

I really wanted to see the movie "Life as we knew it" and almost made it out on a date night before we made last minute changes. Either way I thought it was funny to think of how far we have come ... so I am documenting it.
Life as we Knew it
Life as we Know it

Life as we EXPECT it

Yep, its true ... we are expecting baby Heim #2 on June 20th 2011! Now the question is ... boy or girl. Due to the Schillinger curse I am placing all my eggs in the boy basket but Eric is set that it is a girl. Now my pregnancy has been a lot different but I take that with a grain of salt. Obviously we each have a 50/50 shot at being right ... at the end of the day we just want a happy and healthy baby so we will be thrilled with either sex.
With all this said, Eric and I better plan that date night to see the movie because I have a feeling life is about to get crazy!
