And she's off!
DOS finally started walking on July 14th, just days before our vacation. I knew in my gut that I would see her toddling around on the cruise but when it actually happened I was so happy! She could have started much earlier but I think fear took over. Its not as easy as it sounds to start walking when you have a big brother either "trying" to help you to walk by yanking you around, helping you up or even picking you up. But the other thing he does that scares the crap out of her is go up to her and yell and make weird noises. She plops right back down and starts to cry. She's actually a pretty tough cookie but when it comes to someone (mainly UNO) scaring her, touching her when she doesn't want to be touched or looking at her the wrong way, she becomes very sensitive and shows her girly side. Anyway, now she's walking all over the house and seems to be having a great time doing it. Not only are we proud of her but she's proud of herself and its so fun to watch.

A little update on the kiddos...
UNO turned 2.5 last month and I can't believe how fast time has flown by. I can't help but get all weepy thinking about how fast he's growing up and what a great little "man" he's become. He has such an amazing heart and the best manners I've ever heard out of a child. He loves putting things together, figuring out how they work and never ceases to amaze me by the things he can do or thing of at this young of an age. At his check up he was a hair shy of 36 inches and weighed 27 pounds. He's still a skinny little thing but has abs to show that he's very strong.
DOS turned 15 months old on the 4th of July. And I feel like in the blink of an eye she went from infant to little girl. She is very opinionated, a cuddle bug, and ALL GIRL. She loves to put clips in her hair, kiss herself in the mirror and gives the sweetest smile to all that look at her. She has started yelling/screeching at UNO when she wants what he has, when he annoys her or just to get him to play with her. They have such a great relationship and I'm so glad we had them so close together. A lot of people said it would be hard to have them close in age, and it is trying at times, but it is so amazing. I love watching them play, give hugs and kisses to each other and just be really great friends. At her appointment today, she was 16.12 pounds and 30 inches. She is a little peanut but is slowly growing. Compared to UNO at that age, he was 6 pounds heavier but only 1 inch taller.
And the baby...this is the first pregnancy that I feel like is going the right speed. I don't feel like it's going too fast or too slow. With both UNO and DOS, I felt like the entire 40 weeks just flew by and I got jipped on feeling pregnant. This has been a great pregnancy and I look forward to the rest of the year carrying my little munchkin. So far I haven't gained any weight, I've lost about 10 pounds. I am trying to eat healthy and get all of the nutrition that the baby needs but I just have NO interest in eating this time. I go on Friday for my check up and ultrasound with the perinatologist and they will confirm the sex of the baby. I've been a little hesitant about going by what they said at my last ultrasound since it was pretty early to be positive about the sex of the baby. I just didn't want to say "she, she, she" and then have her turn out to be a boy. I'd feel bad. I'm very excited to see the baby though, since she/he is big enough to really see and look at in the ultrasound. I'm hoping the movement picks up in the coming week or so too. I feel movements and little kicks here and there but I love having an active baby remind me all the time that I'm carrying a little miracle.
