New Posts!

I finally found my camera!! I'm so thankful! So, I'm finally getting to catch up on our posts from late July & August! Here are a couple I've gotten done. I'll be doing more soon!

Our New Home

Bandit Reunion 2010

Hayden Family Vacation

Frame it up!

Once they got the slab done, they framed the house so fast! It's so exciting to see our plans in real life! Let's hope they can make up those lost few weeks.

Next up...the roof!

21 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 21 Weeks

Size of baby: 10 1/2 inches from head to heel - like a carrot
Maternity Clothes: moving more than direction

Gender: 95% sure it's a girl - waiting on our next sono "just to be sure"

Movement: Much bigger bumps this week - felt it on the outside for sure.

David even thinks he felt it

Food Cravings: Nothing out of the ordinary
What I miss: having energy

Sleep: sleeping great - going potty a little more often

Symptoms: round ligament pain, back pain, heartburn, Braxton Hicks contractions - ALREADY!!!

Best Moment this week: feeling stronger movements - my favorite thing about being pregnant!
What I am looking forward to: getting rid of a bunch of my stuff/making money for new baby stuff at our garage sale tomorrow!

Happy 20 Months, Kate!

Isn't she cute in her Mexican dress my parents brought her?

--Vocabulary - I can't even keep up with the new words these days! Everyday she says something I didn't know she knew. Definitely speaking in more sentences "I did it!", "I don't want it", "Come on", "Ready? (weady) Set. Go!" etc.

--VERY interested in the potty. Tells me often when she's going - may have to try this out next month.

--Knows pretty much all body parts - learned elbow "belbow"

--new found love of puzzles & stickers

--more cuddly with me lately - which I LOVE! She always has been more with David, but I've gotten a lot more random hugs & cuddles throughout the day!

--LOVES Veggie Tales & Eloise videos. Asks me for them ALL.DAY.LONG

--likes to put our shoes on

--cut all 4 of her eye teeth. They've all broken through, but none are all the way down

--loves to help Mommy

--still struggles to go in the nursery @ church (has for the past few months). She cries when we drop her off, but always stops before we get out the door. She LOVES the nursery at the gym though. Goes running in. Not sure what the difference is?

--still resisting vegetables

--expresses frustration faster when she can't figure something out. We're workin on it :)

--likes to count things & talk about colors - everything is blue "boo" at this point

We have a slab!!

After 2-3 weeks of being put off because of rain, we finally poured our slab!!! It is so exciting to finally see this building process take off!

And, I'll have a proud wife moment & point out David's awesome sign out front!!!

Halfway!

I can't believe I'm already halfway (well, probably more since she'll do my c-section early) through this pregnancy! It goes fast when you're chasing a toddler, moving and going on fun vacations!
