We've also been working on swimming alot. WE go at least 2 or 3 times a week to our pool. He is not scared what-so-ever. He loves the water. He even tries to make me let go of him and then quickly realizes that he still needs his mama. He has learned to kick his feet. He still doesn't hold his breath under water all the time. So we're working on that. That's kinda important I think.
Colt is really growing up before our eyes. He repeats alot of what we say. Some of his recent words are.... gross (I've been saying that alot when he pees or poops on the carpet), walmart, cheese, more, Ace, and many more. But those are the more recent ones he has learned to say. He likes brushing his own teeth. He has learned how to climb into and out of the bath tub. He's learned to open doors. He has yet to figure out how to climb out of his crib. We're hoping he won't learn that for a while. We're trying to keep him in his crib until after Landry is born. He still takes 3 hr naps (which is wonderful for mama). He loves loves loves his uncle Jakie being at home. He loves playing with both dogs. He enjoys praying at the end of the night. I pray with him and he always concludes by saying Amen as he points his fist to the sky (I have no idea where he got that) He's such a happy boy most of the time. We're having the time of our life watching him grow each and everyday. I know this is the last summer it will be just the two of us so I'm trying to appreciate the time I have with him. (trying is the key word. Some days I want to run and hide!lol)
Our niece was born on June 15th. Lily Kate was born at 3:48 weighing 7 lbs 3 oz. She is adorable. We got to spend some time with her this past Saturday night. It's so surreal how small babies really are when they're first born. Of course, mine was never that small but he was only a few pounds bigger. Can't believe I'll be having one of those in 3 short months. Oh and the little time we've spent with her, Colt has done really well. He's very gentle with her and wants to give her kisses. Besides wanting to put his finger in her ear, he was very sweet to her. Hopefully he'll be the same way when Landry gets here.
Jared went to Chicago with my dad and my brother a few weeks ago. He came back with all pictures of stuff he saw and none of himself. He had a good time but we were glad to have him home. This single Mommy stuff was not fun!
I went to the Dr. today. One of the first things I asked was "IS she still a girl" and the DR. said it was very clear that there were no boy parts! haha. So I was happy to be reassured. I've heard stories of people not knowing until the last minute that the girl really was a boy. Everything looked good. I was measuring 24 wks and 6 days which is a little ahead of where we thought we were. And one of the best things I found out was that I've only gained 4 pounds in the past month. So I've gained 6 total. I have no idea how. This baby feels sooo heavy sometimes. But I'm happy with that. My C-section will be scheduled for October 1st unless she decides to come before then. I'm trying to enjoy my summer as much as possible b/c once August comes, it's going to be non-stop until she gets here. Phew... I'm not looking forward to that.
This is the first picture I've taken of me. This is me at 25 weeks.
Mantha's bday party. Mantha, Colt and A.J.
Uncle Jakie with Lily Kate.
This is probably one of the funnies videos I've taken of Colt. It's a little sad towards the end when Colt beats the dog but up until that point, it's really funny!
