Our Life......

We have really been enjoying our time with Brody and seeing everything that he is learning on a regular basis! It is amazing how much he will talk and say. He listens to Ja and I and will talk about something that we had been talking about a little while before. We are teaching him his ABC's and he can pretty much sing the song for you (with a little help) when he feels like it. He can also sing Jesus Loves Me, Row Row Row your Boat, and we are working on This little light of Mine. It is so cute!!!! However he only does it when he wants to!!!! :) He can pick out anything that is purple and we are teaching him the other colors as well!! It is so hard to believe that he is old enough to do all these things.... where did our baby go??? He is starting a new class at church on Tuesdays while I volunteer for the preschool director. So you can pray for him, that he will feel safe and secure going into that classroom and know that I will come back and pick him up!!! :) There are not many kids in this room and his good friend Jasmine is in there so I am hoping that will help him adjust to this new routine!

** About baby #2 ** I am now in my second trimester!!! I really can't believe it yet am hoping that I will soon start to feel a little better and get some of my energy back! However I have not had any back pain yet like I had with Brody so that is a praise!! As you can see in the picture above I am already starting to show!! Everyone says that you show a lot sooner with your second child and it is very true! I am very ready to start to feel the baby move! I know that towards the end I might think differently but I always liked feeling Brody move inside me so I can't wait to feel this one! People have been asking me if we want a boy or a girl. It is a hard question to answer but I really feel that they both have their positives! I knew right away with Brody that he was going to be a boy, yet with this one I don't really know yet. So we will see!! We are so thankful for this little blessing that is inside me and know that God is forming the perfect little person for our family!!

Some pics of Brody playing.....

Brody does not like to get dirty , so it is very important that I do activities with him that will encourage him to get messy every now and then and that it is ok! We are going to run some cars through paint this week and paint car tracks on our paper.... so I think he will like that!

I just thought this was so funny!! I was getting ready one morning and Brody decides to entertain himself with trying on Mommy and Daddy's shoes. :) Funny Funny Funny!!

Enjoying the nice weather outside!!!

Driving the boats at Bass Pro..... one of Brody's favorite pass times!!! HA... he is all boy!!

Our little peanut!

We have some wonderful news to share with everyone! We are expecting baby # 2!!! Yeah!! We are so excited that we will be adding another member to our family! I am 12 weeks along right now (2 1/2 months) and am due at the end of February. My doctor has been taking some wonderful pictures of our little peanut and it is awesome to be able to see a glimpse of what is going on in there!
This picture was taken when I was 9 weeks pregnant. I had some complications so I had to go and see the doctor early. The picture on the right is a 3D pic of the baby. The little peanut looking thing is the baby. The head is at the top. We were able to hear the heart beat which was amazing, it never gets old listening to your baby's heart beat!

This picture was taken when I was 12 weeks pregnant. As you can see the baby looks more like a baby now!! This is also a 3d pic and is pretty cool! You can see the head at the top with the arms on the head, then the body and legs. The baby is the size of a lime!

Here it is again sucking on its arm. We are so excited about this baby and can't wait to meet it! We have just begun telling Brody that there is a baby in my tummy. If you ask him what is in mommy's tummy he will tell you a baby. I don't think he really gets it but as my stomach grows, I think he will understand a little more. We think he is going to be a great big brother!!!

Here are some pictures of him playing outside this week........

His favorite way to go down the slide is on his stomach. It is so cute.

He still likes to feed the ducks....... however these duck were not very interested in the bread we had. They just wanted to be left alone. But Brody had other plans. :) He chased them around the whole pond. :) It was pretty funny but soon Ja and I started to feel sorry for the ducks and told Brody it was time to go. :)
