We were supposed to go to a birthday party for a friend this morning, but he got sick this morning (the friend, who is three) and we stayed home instead. So I slept in a little – awesome – while Jim got up with JT and made a yummy breakfast of waffles. Then we tookContinue reading “Slow-Start Saturday”

Walking to the park… JT loves to hold the leash. Once we’re there, his favorite thing is to walk the stairs. He loves to help Mom… sweeping the front sidewalk. JT has started using a cup for milk at meals. Here he is enjoying his milk and asking for more. Recently, he figured out howContinue reading “Miscellaneous”

We had our screening appointment today for birth defects, and with it came a wonderful ultrasound. We got some great pictures, and even a DVD. I pulled some of the footage off the video to make a short clip movie – below. The baby is healthy and strong. We heard the heart beat (160 bpm)Continue reading “Baby 2 Update”

JT has known quite a few body parts for a long time now… head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, chin, chest, tummy, belly button, bottom, knees, legs, hands, toes, feet… and on and on. But it wasn’t until today that he started doing the motions with me. Of course, the rendition prior to getting outContinue reading “Video Update”

The morning after the wedding, we all packed up to head to the beach: Gulf Shores, Alabama. (“We” means Uncle Rex, Aunt Donna, cousin Bevin and her three-month-old daughter Taylor, Grandpa and Grandma Keene, Aunt Alice, Matt and Jennifer, Jim, JT, and me!) Here we are getting ready for the five-hour drive. Here Aunt DonnaContinue reading “The Big Trip – Part 3”

On the three-hour trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, we stopped at a Harley dealer to pick up my mom’s birthday present. JT loved checking out the bikes with Jim. How do boys inherently know to look under cars and motorcycles? Is it in their DNA? On our first day in Tuscaloosa, we had to do someContinue reading “The Big Trip – Part 2”

Before we left for our trip, Grandpa Cole came over to pick up Slider (what a great dog-sitter!). He also delivered Grandma Cole, who was making the first part of the trip with JT and me. We left on Saturday, February 13th. JT, my mom, and I flew to Knoxville, Tennessee. Here JT is gettingContinue reading “The Big Trip – Part 1”

When are you due?September 20th Were you guys “trying” to get pregnant?Yes. Did you know you were pregnant before you tookContinue reading “Pregnant!”

Getting out JT’s playclothes, I turned around to see him working on putting his rainboots on. And he did it! He was so proud. 🙂

I haven’t done any tub pictures for awhile… JT’s newest fun is using old yogurt containers to fill, float, and dump. We walked to another community’s park this week when the weather was nice. JT helped hold Slider’s leash on the way there. All I could see from my end of the stroller was hisContinue reading “In the Tub/At the Park”
