Dress Up

Bear loves to wear this vest of Kimball's. He is also very interested in flipping the light switches on and off. He has also taken to wearing this hat. In fact, the other day when my Grandma was watching him he brought her his shoes, his vest, and this hat. Wish I had a picture of that one : )

Can you say "Moo." Here is Bear in his cow costume at Andrea and Scott's. It was Kortlyn and Katelyn's birthday parties. He is carrying my wand - I was the Sugar Plump Fairy.

Makayla and Bear playing with the new kittens.

Check out the rump on that cow!

Ever wonder what Barrett would look like as a rock star? Would have to lose the binky of course.

Love this picture! He loved his costume....

as long as the hood wasn't on.

Even though it was supposed to be a 2T-4T, it was a bit tight! Get this thing off ME!

Pumpkin Patch

A few weeks ago we went to Linder Farms for Barrett's buddy Koen's third birthday. Here are Barrett and Salem in the tractor pull.

Barrett really wanted to go down the slide, but he was too little to climb up by himself so Mommy had to go with him. Mommy was exhausted but Barrett had a great time!

Love the horses!

I tried to get a good pumpkin patch picture, but he wasn't nearly as cooperative as last year!

20 months and 20 weeks...

The last of the cast pictures... thankfully, Barrett had his cast removed yesterday. Turns out he actually broke three bones in his hand, not just two. He broke the bones in the hand that correspond to his three middle fingers. The only one we need to watch for is the ring finger bone in the hand (the one we didn't know about) because that break is close to the growth plate. The doctor thinks he should be fine though!

Here I am at 20 weeks. I feel like a blimp already. I have only gained 9 lbs so far... I think with Barrett I had gained over 20 at this point.

I figure if I only gain another 20 pounds I am well with in the recommended weight gain.

We need to go shopping for a new winter jacket for Barrett (like the hat, its mine). We had SNOW in Boise yesterday! We broke a record for earliest measurable snowfall. Of course it is pretty much melted now, but we sure enjoyed it while it lasted!

Lately

I have been eating lots of yogurt... I like this blue Trix kind cause it matches my cast ; )

Do you like cheese? I like cheese a lot, but most of all I like to eat cheese in small places like this laundry basket.

Hmmm, not sure why my mom has this book, but it sure looks funny!

I really like to put on my mom or dad's shoes. Makes me feel like a grown up even though I fall over a lot.

I went to the park with Mom and Dad and Chuie. That's my coold new minivan in the background.

The swings are still one of my favorite things to do at the park.

This slide looks pretty cool too! Dad is trying to be creative photographly.

Guess what?

Here are some of the ultrasound images for our latest addition...

tiny little feet...

cute little face and hands...

and, oh my, what is this? Not a girl as everyone suspected ; ) I should just trust my gut instincts... I thought it was a boy off the bat, but then was slowly convinced we were having a girl. Surprise, surprise, it is a little boy after all :)
Everything looks good so far, took some bloodwork just to make sure. But it looks like this little guy will be following in his big brother's footsteps - he is measuring about a week ahead, but not enough to change my due date.

Ouch!

Barrett had a little accident on the 13th. He was having a good ol' time playing in a pond when his hand got caught under a rock (or so I think)... anyways, when his face went under water I quickly yanked him out. Took him to the ER and he broke two bones in his hand. This is the ER cast they put on him - not very helpful for getting dressed or being an active boy.

We had a good time at the cabin this last weekend even though the weather was a little rainy; Bear did get to test out his new raincoat though ; )

And here he is in his fancy new cast. He doesn't seem to mind it one bit.

He still loves putting shoes on - the bigger the better! He even put his own shoes on the other day and on the correct feet too! What a big boy!

What's going on?

Our little Barrett loves to play with the telephone. Luckily, we don't have long distance on our home line so if he does call someone it shouldn't cost us more than a good laugh. The other day I was talking to Kimball on the office phone and Barrett picked up the phone in the living room. Now, the phone in the living room is not at his level so he had to climb on the recliner and stand on the arm to reach it. Little stinker....

I love this picture of Barrett.... he just loves playing in the water.

Here I am at 16 1/2 weeks. I have only gained 4 pounds so far compared to the 15 I gained with Barrett at this point. I am measuring about a week ahead, which is how I measured with Barrett. We have our ultrasound on the 24th and I can't wait to find out what this one is.... Any guesses? Take my poll and put in your guess.

18 months and going wild

Here are some recent pictures of Barrett. Things have been crazy around here lately. I have had miserable morning sickness and then when I just started to get over that I caught Barrett's cold. Both of us are in our second week but starting to feel better...

Barrett has been into wearing our shoes. The other day he had my heels on but I missed the photo opportunity. Will have to catch it again.

Here are some random pics of Barrett over the last few weeks. He has been having a good time playing and making funny faces.

I had a little photo shoot with Barrett and Chuie the other day. That poor dog she puts up with so much from him. He actually bit her the other day, but I think it scared him more when she yelped. He started bawling, it was pretty funny. I feel bad for Chuie sometimes though, but I am very grateful we have such a patient and loving dog for Barrett to play with.

Catchin' Up

These are from a few weeks ago... things have been so busy around here. I started teaching and have been a bit overwhelmed.

Bear and his girlfriend Brooklan in Donnelly a few weeks ago.

Oh yes, in all my glory. Yes, that is a maternity bathing suit; and yes, we are expecting. I am 11 weeks now and just starting to feel better.

Can't get this guy out of the lake... he loves the water.

Water Baby

Little Barrett loves the water. He will even climb in with all of his clothes on...

This little vest was Kimball's when he was a boy. We found it when we were "cleaning." Luckily, it still fits Barrett... he is such a moose.

Guess who?!?!

And again in the water. I swear, he practically jumped in on top of me! We've got a little swimmer on our hands!
