The Hoffman Family: Keeping Busy

The best news of all...we had our last sonogram and it turned out perfect! The baby is healthy as can be and is weighing in at 14 oz. He or she is the size of a carrot right now :-) The doctor said the due date is right on schedule - 2.21.11! We still are anxiously anticipating the arrival of our son or daughter and can't wait to share the news with everyone. I am slowly gaining weight which is okay with me, but I should be gaining a pound a week from here on out...YIKES!!! The baby has been moving around a lot more lately. Quentin hasn't gotten to feel it yet, but we are hopeful the baby will say "Hi" to Daddy very soon.

Gus has been very expressive lately. He is trying to talk and doing a great job. We communicate very well for the few words that he uses. Mama, Dada, Bye-Bye, Hi, Thank You, Belly Button, Bubbles, Ball, Nite Nite, Shakes his head yes or no and he signs milk, more, all done, all gone and he points at everything he thinks is cool.

Speaking of things cool...Gus is so excited by cars, trucks, trains, tractors anything mechanical and loves Daddy's tools!

We have recently been busy as usual. The MS Bike ride where Grandma, Grandpa, Mark and Sarah all rode the MS 150 in support of MS research. It was a really neat experience to meet them in Sedalia, MO at the half way point and then back at Raymore Peculiar H.S for the finish line. We also had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch with Grandma and Ryan. Gus saw his first train and absolutely loved it at his cousin John's 2nd Birthday party.

Things seem to be going very well for Quentin and I. We are just loving the last few months we have with Gus before the baby is born. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary in St. Charles, MO. We had a wonderful time even though we talked about Gus, how much we missed him and got so excited when we were on our way home to pick him up.
