My Little Boy

I was doing laundry this afternoon and pulling out some of Lila's clothes that she can no longer wear. I get sad every time I do this. Of course I want her to grow up and be strong and healthy and I am so proud of her, but at the same time....well, don't we all just want them to stay little? I told Michael last night that this time last August she was just 2 months old. It is truly amazing how much they develop in such a short amount of time. What is even more amazing is that in 2months from now another little one will enter in our lives! As I am looking through Lila's clothes, I couldn't help but think that I really hope I have another girl one day! I can't imagine her being my only one. Then, I started to think about this other baby inside me. My sweet baby boy. I have been nervous about what to do with a little boy, but I think we will catch on pretty fast. Looking at this face, I think all I need to do is love him. I can't wait to meet him. (Actually, I can. I need all the time I can get to prepare!) You know what I mean though. The miracle of life in itself is a blessing and I can't wait to have my own momma's boy!

We went last week to have a 4D ultrasound done of him. These actually sometimes freak me out a little bit.:) This kicking king decided to take a big ole snooze right after lunch and didn't want to perform. Oh well, that is ok. We at least got a sweet shot of his face. To be honest, the shot he preferred to give us the most was of his cute little tooshy, but I will spare you those photos!

Here he is at 31 1/2 weeks! Still no name. Any suggestions?!?!


Here is the fam after the U/S.


Lila likes to give her brother a kiss. Can you tell I am a little shocked here?

Wordless Wednesday...Pool Style!



Oops, it's Tuesday! Oh well. This is actually from 2 Sundays ago!

Learning to Walk


Lila loves to put on her shoes and take off walking. She gets this look on her face that says, "I am a Big Girl!" She is doing SO well and improves every day. I feel like even over the weekend she has really learned to get up and go! She has hardly crawled at all this week, which actually makes me a little sad. I think I am going to miss that little fast paced, wiggly bottom crawl of hers. She crawls with some major force. She has been doing it for almost 6 months, so she is pretty good at it! This picture was actually taken July 30th, but it is too cute to not post!

1 Year Debut

Yes, I know, she is 14 months, but here are Lila's 1 year pictures I never posted. The pictures in the dress at the end is my grandmother's dress. All of the girls have had their picture taken in it, so it is very special. I can't believe these were taken almost 2 months ago. My, how she has grown(and gotten a little more hair.)! In addition to these, we got some REALLY cute ones from Portrait Innovations that I will post when I find the CD! :)

Just a glimspe...

I wish you all could see what I wake up to each morning. Every day is a
gift. Here is a glimpse of the little blessings we have been given.
