Pictureless :(

Is anyone else not taking many pictures lately? I think it's the winter blahs! I'm ready for some warm weather so we can get outside! I'm sure you are too! We are still here even though I haven't blogged much lately. Braden is still having a blast at preschool each week and still napping like a champ there. I can't believe my little buddy goes to school and pretty much blends in with the big kids (I'm sure it helps that he is a giant).

He is still loving the letter factory video and is saying his sounds and letters wherever we go! Today we went to the library (which was short lived...again b/c he took a big stinky right when we got there-2 weeks in a row!) and as I was checking out, he was pointing to the letters in "circulation desk" saying each letter as he walked down the desk. Then he'd do them again and just say the sounds of each letter, which I'm sure sounds chinese to a non teacher-ha! The little lady checking us out was quite impressed (well of course, right?:). He is also verbally spelling his name now which sometimes comes out w/ just the " buh, err, ah, duh, ehh, inn." That was the sound of each letter for all of you non code readers. :) Now if I could just get him to not run from me and stay by my side wherever we go we'll be in good shape!!

Great appointment!

We had another baby appointment today and all is great!! We got to use the ultrasound machine in the exam room (so not quite as clear as if we had went down to the ultrasound room) and we could see the little "monkey" as my Dr. put it. :) You could clearly see the whole body today, head, belly etc...I just love it! The heartbeat was strong, in the 160's so that was good news too! I feel very blessed that everything is going good and I feel so well! As a matter of fact, I feel perfect. :) We'll go back in 4 more weeks. :) Yeah!!!!!!

Hot Valentine's Night!

Last night was one hot, romantic night for Chris and I. We started off with a trip to Toys R Us to buy diapers and wipes, grabbed some Outback takeout on the way home, and ended the night with the romantic love story...."Cars." It was fun stuff! No, actually it was a fun night. We got in PJ's and Braden actually snuggled with us on the couch to watch the movie. I love my two (and 1/2) Valentine's!

A little of this and that

A little late...picture of Braden and I on Superbowl Sunday. We were supposed to wear our sports' shirts to church on this day. :)

Braden now has to sleep with Barney, Puppy (on the left) and Boz (green guy on the right which is the Christian version of Barney) every night. In the morning, he MUST bring them all out of his bed and around the house.

We got to keep Jace for a couple of hours last week. Braden had fun playing with his bud.

This was when I told Braden "to put his arm around Jace."

Kisses are always great to look back on when you are 18! Ha!

Sharing a snack...I wonder who got to eat more?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Braden wanted to tell all of you he loves you!! We are making a Valentine's Day frame at preschool and all of the kids posed with this sign, so Braden did too. :) He also picked out his Valentines to give out to his "friends." He chose Elmo! Even though he isn't officially filling out his Valentine's yet, it still made me a little sad to think he's big enough to have a little Valentine's Day party. :(
