5.
Ezra (6), Owen (4), Gunnar (10 months), Zane (6 months) get ready to welcome another BOY to the family.
My parents are going to be the lucky grandparents of FIVE boys! Where are all the sweet,cute, little girls? Not in my belly apparently.
Baby Boy Pettit is healthy and growing well. The baby looked so peaceful and sweet, taking a little snooze (not the jitter bug I am used to seeing inside my belly.) Baby gave us a perfect shot of the important things, yet, my doctor doesn't print off the normal sweet baby pictures, or give me any proof that I really am having a boy, nope he gives me a picture of my freaky, alien, malnourished baby. He is so into these pictures and I really hate them, he never asks me what I want a picture of, he just prints, and hands me these pictures.
***I was going to post the scary picture, but a lot has happened since I wrote this post and we are currently in the states.
Kyle's Grandpa Max is very sick as he has a fast spreading cancer. Red Cross flew Kyle, Gunnar and I home to spend some time with Grandpa. It has been a special but difficult time. Please keep, Kyle, his Grandpa Max, and the rest of his family in your prayers.
Kyle will be flying back to Germany March 23rd. At this point I will be going and spending a few extra weeks with my family before Gunnar and I return to Germany.
I don't have any my camera cord with me so pictures may be few and far between unless we figure something else out.

Friends
Yesterday my friend Sandra came over with her little girl, Loralynn. Usually on Friday we get together and do Bible Study, but we both weren't ready for this week as Sandra and Loralynn have been in the states. So instead, we just got together to hang out for a little bit.
When they walked in the door, poor Loralynn was greeted by both Suesse and Gunnar. As I was holding the dog back, Gunnar leaned into her car seat and gave her a big ol' kiss. It was a gentle kiss, but slobbery, hopefully Sandra didn't mind.
Gunnar has a hard time keeping his hands off of her, so the bouncer ended up being the best place for him.
During Gunnar's bath last night he noticed his reflection in the thing you turn to drain the water. He stared and laughed at that silly baby for at least 5 minutes.

German Bowling
Tonight we had a FRG meeting at a little Pizza Place that had German Bowling in the back. There were two lanes and we had such a great time. There were only 3 ladies, 2 kids, and 2 guys there, but it was a fun group to hang out with for the evening.
Fran, the only German in the group took the first try. Here is how it went....
She got us off to an awesome start!
We had so much fun laughing and trying to make up our own rules. As we clearly did not know the proper rules. Someone read on the internet that we were to throw the ball 120 times, that was not happening!!!
Here is the cutest little bowler of the bunch!
Gunnar was walking really well up and down the lane. He clearly wanted a turn.
Dad showed up and ate some pizza.
Gunnar was okay with Leigh holding him. Very surprising for him lately.
The lane. The pins were attatched to strings, it was so clever.
No pictures of me bowling, I will have to get them from someone else, but there are a few of the others giving it there best try. The pictures are blurry because I had the camera on the close-up mode...whoops.
In non-bowling news, Gunnar's first tooth should be making its debut any day now. It is barely poking out. The poor little guy is pretty fussy, but overall he is being a trooper. He just thinks he needs to be held and cuddled a little extra which is a-okay with me!

He also gave the bowling a try. I don't think he knocked any pins down! Haha.
Our fearless leader Leigh giving it her best shot.

Our expert bowler of the bunch, Fran! :)

10 months
Can you believe in 2 months Gunnar will be the big ONE?
Wow!
Let's recap a few things Gunnar enjoys and can do...
-Recently he started WALKING! He can take about 5-6 steps at a time, but is getting braver everyday.
(This video is from his first few days of walking, he is much more stable. Ignore my silly laugh, I can't help but laugh at his goofy laugh. Also sorry it is so dark, we like to live like hobbits. Next time we will turn on the lights).
-He got his first ear infection. So sad. I am not completely convinced he is over it. I will give it one more day then back to the doctor. He is not screaming bloody murder, but he sure does do a lot of pulling on his ear.
-He has become a "Nursery Hater." My mom would tell you he is just like me. Apparently I hated the church nursery also. When I walked in on Sunday one of the workers looked at him and said "oh no." When I went to pick him up they informed me he screamed the entire time (not sure why they claim they will come get you after 10 minutes of crying). Not only was he screaming when I walked in, but he had gotten 3 other babies all worked up, so it really was just one big scream fest in the nursery. :(
-I have started to use WIC. Since I am not working anymore it has been a huge help. They informed me that I am giving Gunnar to many bottles. So, this month I have been trying to cut back. He now gets about 3 a day, usually before naps and bedtime.
-He finally will eat his veggies!!!
I am sure there are many other things, but this is all I can think of.
