Ice cream

Gracie loves ice cream! We take her to the park and you can get a ice cream cone that is about 2 inches tall, ice cream and all! She absolutly loves it. The other day she was sharing with a duck (no we didn't let her eat it after that) and the duck took it right away from her and ran away! Needless to say, she pretty much started hypervenilating! I had to give her my cone. Then last Sunday we took her and she wasn't quite full when she was done with hers, she ate most of Bernie's too! She loves sweets.

She had her 18 month check up on Tuesday and she is 26.6 pounds and 32 inches long. She now says her abc's k-z. We need to work on the beginning of the alphabet! She's such a smarty pants and loves to here that.

Due date

Well today is my due date and I feel no different! Everyone thinks I should have him on the 4th, which is my dad's birthday. That would be very cool, but it's a week away! I've come to the conclusion that Jack is up there with my dad having to much fun. I'm sure my dad is teaching him all of the naughty things he shouldn't be learning!

"Peekle" and abc's

That is how Gracie says popsicle! She absolutly loves them. When we buy them she has to hold onto them the whole way through the store, cries when I take them away to pay and has to hold them all the way home. They are her favorite treat. She gets so excited when we buy them! When I hand them to her she says "peekle" over and over, she's so excited!

The last couple weeks we have really been saying the abc's with her and she repeats them perfect. The last couple days she will say them all by herself! Not all of them together, but 3 or 4 in a row, then she will skip a group and say another 3 or 4. When she did it for the first time, I almost cried. I couldn't beleive it! Last night I was cleaning the kitchen and she started at q and went all the way to z! She's our little smarty pants and when we tell her that she is so proud of herself and gets a cheeseball grin! We love her so much.

I have a doctors appointment today, I'm hoping to here that I'm almost ready! I only have 11 days until my due date! I'll keep you posted.

3 weeks and counting...

The countdown is on! I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday and everything looks good. She did say though that right now Jack is about 8 lbs and if I go another 3 weeks he will be arounds 9 lbs! I don't find the humor in this but everyone else does! Like my mom says, it's going to hurt either way no matter how big he is.

It looks like we are going to have a BIG healthy baby boy. As long as he's healthy we don't care.

5 weeks to go

We are anxiously awaiting our newest addition. Jack should be here in about 5 weeks. I'm really hoping it's not that long. Gracie is excited to have a little brother, or so we think, all she knows is that Jack is in my belly. She comes up to me and points to my belly and says Jack. She's so sweet. She is acting more like a toddler now than a baby and I love it, but she's getting so big. She talks so good and is our little parrott! She loves to be outside and would spend all day in the garage with her daddy. Yes I said the garage, she loves it. She also loves to ride 4-wheelers when we go to my parents. She gets rides from her grandpa, uncles and dad. She's going to be a little tomboy. She really doesn't have a choice with all of the boys she is around all the time! And now we are adding another boy to the group.

Well we will keep everyone updated with when this little guy will be here!

Easter

Gracie looks so pretty in her Easter dress. We had a fun day. We went to my sister in laws for dinner and an easter egg hunt with her cousins. Gracie did good with finding the egs until one opened and she found candy! Then it was all over! After that we went to my parents for dinner and easter basket for Gracie. The night before we decorated eggs with my parents and one of my brothers. Gracie did better then I thought she would and didn't make much of a mess. I thought I got all of the dye off of her hands, (except for the parts of her hands that were dyed the color for a couple day!)When I put her dress on her Sunday morning her arms had dye on then, it had run down her arm! It was pretty funny.

We had a fun Easter sunday. Holidays are so much more fun with kids.

Deja Vu?

We are experiencing deja vu! When I was 7 months pregnant with Gracie we got a new car and the next day moved into our apartment. Here we are 16 months later and I'm 6 months pregnant, I got a new car last week and next weekend we are moving into a house! I love my new car. It's a Buick Rendezvous. My 2 door Cougar was not cutting it anymore and with 2 kids, I don't think so! Compared to my car, this one drives like a Cadillac. I love it. And our house is so cute. I can't wait to move. The 3 things I'm excited for is a dishwasher, a washer a dryer we don't have to share or go up and down the stairs for, and a big backyard for Gracie to play in! Bernie is excited for the garage! So we have a lot going on right now and are very excited!
