Why dont babies come with names stapled to their foreheads?

We havent really given a ton of thought to the new babies name. We keep saying that we will and life happens and the day slips away. We have a little list of names that we like, but generally, I am not sure that we both agree on and love any specific one!!!!! I know what my problem is.....I really like alot! I feel like although we considered a bunch of other names with Caden, the decision came to us fairly easy! That was his name and that was it. Didnt think any more about it, put it up on his wall, and called my baby bump by his name! Wow....I know that we will get there but man, by the looks of it, I am having a little bit of a hard time believing that right now! So.....I propose, we try to get babies to come out with name tags on their nakey little bodies. Anyone with me?? :-)

Baby beaner is a BOY!!

I know everyone is very surprised right now, but yes, the Monticelli's are welcoming another little boy in the family!! :-) One thing is for sure...the Monticelli name will live forever!! We are very excited....two little boys, two years apart! Now onto pondering what this little man will look like and what his name will be. I have attached a picture of the little ham bone below.....

Here comes the roof!!!

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY but surely we are getting there!!! Yah!

New Baby!

We are very excited that our little Cade Matthew is going to be a big brother!! Somedays, it is hard to believe that we were going thru this with Cade two years ago..........really, has it been two years!! Thats just crazy to me! This time, I feel alot more at ease about things. Aside from the moments of panic on what I am going to do with two Caden's at once(YIKES!), I am pretty relaxed about it! I feel so much more conflicted though to find out if it is boy or a girl this time though. Last time, we just barely discussed it and decided that we would find out. This time, neither one of us can make up our mind! Wander why that is??! A part of me says, like it isnt a boy??! I mean come on....there are all boys! Chances are it is a boy! Thats perfectly fine too, we would be happy to have another boy, a little brother to our little monkey; but the other part of me says, one of these times, this family has to see a little girl!!!! I mean, isnt it odds?! So many boys in a row, wouldnt you think that someone would be bound to have a little girl one day?? I think that we can find out the end of March and for some reason, I have no idea if I want to know or not then. Decisions, decisions..........

New Pictures!!

Cade is now 16 months and is as lively as ever!! Getting into everything, talking up a storm, crying because he isnt getting his way.........oh, how quickly that happens!!! We are loving it!Thought that we would share some updated pictures! Enjoy.

See below......Process is really moving along now! We have the first floor exterior walls up, some of the interior walls to support the second floor, the garage walls up, and most of the second floor decking down. Not bad, I dont think!
