33 week belly

First belly pictures we have taken this time around, believe it or not!!  Here I am at 33 1/2 weeks when we went to Kingsmill last weekend for some R&R.  It was such a nice trip!!  We missed our sweet Wade, but had a SUCH wonderful time  :)

I am definitely bigger now (at almost 35 weeks), so I'll have to get some more pictures to show the progression...

Waiting for dinner...

No, we don't really feed Wade alongside the dogs!  But when he's not helping scoop the food into their bowls, he likes to wait with them till I bring their dinner.  He is very helpful and tells them to sit and stay and then demonstrates for them :)

Four eyes

Counting and ABCs

Wade can officially count to 10!  It is a new favorite thing to do.  He also likes to sing the alphabet song and is getting more of the letters down every day it seems.  I have taught him a little song that I sing him when I go get him in the mornings, too, and he's started singing that to me if I ask him to while I get him changed.  I can't believe how fast he is growing up and learning!  We are starting to look at options for schools now - he can start at 2 1/2 at preschool, which will be here before we know it, especially with the new little one arriving in less than 2 months now!  We think he will do great in school since he is just so smart :)

Bless You

My little boy is so sweet.  I sneezed the other day and he said "Bless you, Mama!"  I about melted right there on the spot!!  Now whenever he sneezes or coughs (sometimes on purpose!), he says "Bless you, Wade."  It's the cutest thing ever. 

Another funny, cute, slightly gross thing he's started doing - sticking a finger up his nose and saying "ewwwww!"  Hysterical :)  I know I probably shouldn't encourage that, but it's too funny not to laugh sometimes :)

Thankful Thursday

That time again!

NEW AIR CONDITIONER!  I am so happy that we got our A/C replaced.  It is hot, hot, hot this week, so it's been just in time that we have our central air back up and running.  It's an (ahem) investment to be sure, but totally worth it for this pregnant mama :)

VACATION!  We are going away as a family next weekend for a 4-day long weekend!  We're going to Emerald Isle to hang out with some friends and then to Cary to see Michael and Ashleigh and are so excited!!  The dogs are all booked for "spa" time and we're getting away :)

Vegetables!  We are starting to get some good veggies from our garden.  Craig put down some organic fertilizer last month and it really helped everything grow like crazy.  We have lots of tomatoes that will be ready soon, cucumbers, lettuce...peppers on the way, and hopefully our squash and zucchini will be ready soon, too. 

Friday Eve :)  Super glad tomorrow is Friday and looking forward to a fun weekend with my guys and dogs!

Overall, life is pretty good for this girl!   :)  Have a good day!!

Busy summer so far!

We have been BUSY!  Wade finished up his swimming lessons this past Friday and is a little fish.  He loves to swim to the steps and even started flipping over to float on his back all on his own (still not his favorite thing in the world, though).  We're looking forward to a summer of playing in the pool and practicing our swimming!!  I will be happy to be in the water as much as possible, too :)

We have had a lot of birthday parties as well the past several weeks.  Wade is having a great time with his friends at the parties and at his playgroup.  He is a sweet boy and shares so well with others, it makes me so proud. 

Our new nanny started on Friday and Wade really likes her so far.  We are very happy to be getting back on a regular schedule, that's for sure! 

I haven't been taking as many pictures recently, but will get some updates posted soon!
