Baby Bump

bump + Lenny's sub :)

Storytime

Will LOVES to read. When he wakes up in the morning he grabs a book and pats his glider. He likes to sit on our lap and relax while we read to him. During the day we read. Before bed we read. I blogged about his nighttime reading routine here awhile ago. As he's gotten older his routine has changed a little. He now likes to tell us what book he wants to read by saying a word or making sounds. He's growing up so fast!

Here are some examples of how he asks for his favorite books:

Llama Llama Zippity Zoom- vroom vroom 

Around the Farm- ishy (his favorite part is the fish, fish=ishy)

Where is Baby's Valentine?- baby (yes, we read this Valentine book year round…I see no problem with that)

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed- oo ee oo ee (monkey noises)

Those are some of the main ones I can think of right now. We hope he always has this love of reading!! Let's face it we rack up on snuggle time while we read since that's pretty much the only time Will stays somewhat still!


PS: I tried to link the books to Amazon. Who knows if I did!!

Last night I got about 3 hours of sleep. Today's ultrasound is one of my favorites, but I also find it the most stressful! We are so very blessed to be having a healthy baby…

GIRL!

I took Will to our favorite cupcake spot to celebrate!

We got Will a balloon from Baby!

We are so excited!! Today brought back so many memories of when we found out that Will was a boy. Will is going to be such a good big brother!!

On the Road Again...Part 3

The third part of our trip we spent a lot of time in the house!! It was COLD! We were also itching to see Daddy!!

Playing with Mimi at a birthday party.

 Having way too much fun with GGL!

 Demanding attention from Uncle Daniel.

SNOW!!

 Not a fan of snow cream...maybe next year!

 Snuggling with Mimi and GGL while taking important phone calls.

 Daddy is back!!!!!

Traveling...and taking phone calls in your sleep is hard work!

One the Road Again...Part 2

While we were in SC, we headed to Columbia for a few days to see Nonna and Grandpa Geordie. We had a great time celebrating Nonna's birthday, eating way too much, going to the zoo, and playing at the park.

 Those giraffe tongues are insane!!

 Well we tried to get a group shot...

 These birds are terrifying. Geordie is covered in them, because he had to take my cup of food...I almost died from fright.

Will kept calling this animal Dada...

 After nap snuggles are the best!

 Family divided...go Tigers!

On the Road Again...

Our blog has been quiet since our big announcement, because Matt had to go to Switzerland for two weeks again!! Yes, this has been three times that he has been to Switzerland...Matt-3, Erin-0...one day!
We headed to SC to hang out with family and had a great time!! We were very busy trying to see everyone. The weather was amazing part of the time and freezing cold and snowy for the other part. I have A LOT of pictures!

We started out meeting some of our besties for lunch.

Then we got to meet Uncle Michael and Aunt Alex's new dog, Riley!! We're in love!

Will had fun lounging, playing outside, climbing trees with GGL, and hanging with his new best friend (Yoshi).

 Sorry for the overload of pictures!! It's going to get worse before it gets better!! :)

Party of Four

We've been keeping a "little" secret. Back in this post, I said I couldn't wait to see what 2014 had in store for us. We already knew about one big blessing that would be arriving in 2014...

In the middle of December, we found out that Will was going to be a BIG brother! We are so thrilled about our new party...of FOUR!

Here's Will with the news:
