Lil Bit

Yes, we're happy to make it official...we're expecting our second baby!
Due date is Nov 19th (good guess Aunt L!).
So, I'm 12 weeks along now.

Cravings: Aussie cheese fries from Outback (they're simply the best), and dill pickle spears! I've been through a jar a week! Ha! And, I'm not sure what I'd do to get my hands on some Tom's brand salt and vinegar potato chips. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. They are very hard to find...especially when outside of the southeastern part of the US.

I was slightly queasy during the first trimester, but mostly just felt kind of blah. I'm starting to perk up some which is great news. I need all of the energy I can get.

We are calling this lil bundle of joy Lil Bit until we find out the gender and decide on a name...which we haven't even come close to deciding at this point.

We haven't really been keeping it a secret, but wanted to wait until our first doctor's appt to put it on the blog.

We went to the doctor on Wednesday and got to hear Lil Bit's heartbeat. He/she is hiding behind the placenta so we could barely here it. But, it was there and was strong! Praise God!!!!

We're very excited and we know Lil Boo will be a great Big Brother, you know, once he realizes this baby is sticking around for good! Ha! I'm sure I'll be asking for tips on making the transition
easier for him as time nears.

Thanks for all of your excitement and prayers! Here we go again!

Do you see what I see??

ABCs and 123s

Thanks to the bathtub letters and numbers Granny and Grandpa sent for Boo's birthday, he now knows the alphabet and numbers 1-10! Boo and B-man practice every night in the tub and Boo is really getting good at recognizing them. He even will shout out letters he sees on signs from the backseat of the car.

Calling out the letters as Dad points to them.

You'll have to have a good ear to get this one,

but he's saying his ABC's in this video.

He gets really shy when I film him these days....cue big cheese grin!

At the end he's saying, "next time won't you sing with meeeee!"

Counting out his numbers.

Snapshots

Chasing bubbles.


Having so much fun.

He has no interest in trying to hit the ball.

Oops, spilled some applesauce.

Yard Work

This past weekend B-man worked so hard in our backyard to get our rose garden up to snuff!
He took out all of the mulch, pulled up all of the old weed blocker (black tarp-y stuff) and replaced it all. Thanks so much Hon for all of your work. It looks great!

"Dad, you can use my wagon to bring in the mulch,

but I'll have to supervise."

I also planted some veggies.
Boo is helping me plant the cucumbers here.

Here it is! Doesn't it look nice and fresh?
Don't mind the fallen rose petals in the mulch.
I tried to pick them up, but let's be for real...it was a never ending task.

Close-up

Such a pretty color.

At the end of the roses, there was this extra bit of space.
So, I planted 3 tomato plants, a banana pepper and a couple of cucumber plants.

I really hope they do well. This is our first attempt at growing veggies. I already have my doubts about the cucumber. It was pretty fragile looking when I put it in the ground.


Have a nice day!

Singing Boo

One night before bedtime, Boo was really getting into singing his songs. He was doing more than just filling in the blank, trying to say a phrase at a time. B-man and I are probably the only ones who know what he's saying, but it was really cute.

So, we thought we'd catch it on video. He got really shy though when we brought out the camera.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

He got a little too excited on this one.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Up next...photos of all of the hard work B-man has been doing in the yard this weekend.
