This and That

Today when Maximus and I were out and about, we stopped to look at a water fountain.

He loves anything to do with water. We just finished up a couple months of swimming. We did the same class last year, where the two of us were in the water together. It's hard to believe and a little bittersweet to think that next year he'll graduate to swim lessons without me in the water with him.

His language has exploded and he's using sentences. They aren't always complete sentences, but he's really learning how to connect words together. I feel like I can see the wheels in his brain clicking away. It's incredibly rewarding to watch! I love all of the different stages...I just don't want them to happen too fast.

He enjoys talking about his baby brother that is coming and I believe he's going to do well when they finally meet.

 

When I asked Maximus today if he wanted to throw some money into the water, (a first for him) he got SO excited!!!

 

I had a few pennies in my wallet, so he threw those in.

 

We noticed there were several plastic spoons in there too. hmmm...ice cream anyone?

 

I love this boy!

 

*PREGNANCY UPDATE*

I am doing great! Today I'm at 30 weeks & 2 days. That means I have 2 months to go! It's truly been an uneventful pregnancy. I don't have many complaints. The major thing was being nauseous at first, but not any longer. I've been tired throughout, but feel like I've got a 2nd wind lately. That's probably because we are trying to get things organized and ready. Rob has been a HUGE support and help! I couldn't do it without him. When he was gone last week on a business trip, I realized how much tougher it was without him. He's so good about getting Maximus up in the mornings before work as well as helping out after work and on weekends. It always amazes me when I think about single parents. How do they do it??? They deserve a lot of credit!

 

A few weeks ago, a friend asked me if anyone was throwing me a baby shower. I told her no, and that I wasn't expecting one, especially since I was having another boy. She blew me away when she insisted on doing one! Her perspective was very interesting and one that I never really thought of before. She said that EVERY child deserves one - that it's a celebration! WOW! I feel quite blessed by her sweet generosity.

 

As usual, I've been a bit sporadic when it comes to blogging. I hope to change that. I'm hoping to do shorter posts and more often. We'll see about that. haha...I tend to be a bit long winded!

Thanks for stopping by...I appreciate you!


Happy day!
