website

I've finally updated Andrew's website. Feel free to check it out..and the photo gallery! It took me ALL night...which is why I won't be blogging...unless you count this! :) Nite!

silly stories

Here are some things that made me laugh today...

When Matt got home from work he was holding Andrew and telling him hello. I was standing close by with my lips puckered trying to get Andrew to give me a kiss too and he pushed my face into Matt's face....to get us to kiss. So we did and he cracked up laughing! Of course Matt and I thought it was hilarious.

I've been trying to teach Andrew that there is a baby in my belly. I will take his hand and pat my belly and say "BABY!" He will either just hit my belly or say baby. Well, today Andrew saw a baby on TV and he came up to me, pointed at HIS belly and said BABY!

Never a dull moment here!

22 weeks and 5 days

Some of you have asked what my belly looks like these days. I figured I'd share now because in a few months I won't be as willing!! Keep in mind I napped today!

Not much to report around here. I took Andrew to the doctor the other day for his 18 month visit and he totally freaked out. Guess he remembered getting his flu shot...TWICE! Doc says he looks good and was impressed with his motor skills...which explains why he hasn't really taken off with his talking. I can tell he is getting there though. He tries hard t o copy us and is constantly babbling about something to me or daddy.

I've been feel great. Really can't complain. I am tired some days but am fortunate enough to snooze when Andrew does. I'm already 22 weeks and it really has flown by. Hopefully the rest of this pregnancy will go just as smoothly!

I'll leave you with pictures of Andrew's latest obsession...

He does these little half circles all over the driveway.

Today Matt is building more shelves in our closet....we've got to clean out the computer room closet to make way for Blake. Anyway, we took everything off the existing shelves and I came across my Halloween costume from 2 years ago...a cat. Well, Andrew kept putting the ears on me and after about a million times I put them on him.....

Hey! What are you lookin' at?

Is that me?

I think I look cute!! Meow!

our Christmas

We started our "vacation" at my in-laws, headed to my parents and then went to Shreveport. Needless to say, by the end of our trip, I was ready to be home!!! We were gone a total of 10 days and while it was nice visiting family....it's nice to be home! I shouldn't complain though because this was our first Christmas with family since Matt and I have been married. Usually Matt has to work some on Christmas day. This year he somehow got off...and it won't happen again for years!

Matt's family and all their dogs!

Prego girls. Jill's being induced to have Jack today!!

Here's Andrew jumping on the blow-up bed with his cousins. He enjoyed being at his grandparents because he could get away with ANYTHING!!!

Andrew playing with his piano/xylophone.

After opening all those gifts Andrew was exhausted!!!

To top off our trip...Matt and I drove to Ruston one morning to see the Taylors. I finally got to meet Logan and William. She has precious kiddos! Mrs. Kathy, sorry we didn't look you up. By the time we left Keri's Andrew needed a nap. He would not have been a joy to see. I hope to get back there before they leave so if I do I'll look you up!!!

I forgot to mention that we also got to meet Miss Stahley! She is adorable! Andrew also enjoyed plaing with Stone. He is only 2 but I think he is going on 8!!

Anyway, we had a nice trip and it was fun seeing family and friends. Now that we are home I'm having to break Andrew of his bad habits he picked up...like constantly having his passy ALL DAY!!!

baby #2

Just thought I would share our exciting news...we are expecting another boy!! It was no surprise as this pregnancy has been about the same as when I carried Andrew. We are very excited and can't wait to meet little Blake Edward. We talked about Nathan Edward (Edward is my dad's name) but have decided to go with Blake. We've already bought his bedding and now I'm anxiously awaiting to start painting!!!...well, I should say for Matt to paint! Just had to share our news! I'll post about our trip later. I'm trying to get some order back in my house first.

my boys and such

I know I said I wasn't going to post again before we left....I lied! Not many people have been updating. Guess everyone is busy with Christmas coming. Anywho, just thought I'd give ya a little update...

This morning Santa came!! I guess I was good this year because he brought me some great gifts!! Andrew and Matt both got tools so I have to share this pic...

I have no idea how I got Andrew to actually look at the camera and smile!! That's part of the reason why we didn't do Christmas cards. The boy doesn't enjoy the camera as much as I do!! :)

We celebrated Christmas early because we are leaving to see family tomorrow. I'm really excited! It's been a while since we've seen family. Hopefully there will be no fighting!!! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!

Andrew and Santa

Well, yesterday was a crazy day and it involved seeing Santa...along with the rest of the kids in The Woodlands. Last year the line was short...not this year! As you can see Andrew enjoyed seeing him. I was really worried he would cry. Guess that will probably be next year. I should also explain why I chose not to put his socks on shoes on...I knew his pants would get pushed up and I didn't like the look of it...however, after we had taken pictures I wished I had put them on. Oh well!

I probably won't blog again until we get back from seeing family. So, since I totally slacked this year and didn't do a Christmas card....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
