We had our 24 week ultrasound and check up today. I also ended up doing the glucose test—hopefully we get good results. Baby boy was doing well and my cervix was looking great!! They are going to check it again in 2 weeks, but they are hoping that will be the last time!! 9 shots down 11 to go. Here are a few pictures from today. I think he looks a lot like Madison!!
I still can’t believe my baby girl is 3…where has time gone. It was a rainy, but fun day! When she woke up, we had her presents all out for her in her new tent. PS-- She loved the tent!! I have some really cute pictures, but it just so happens that she is naked in half of them (she went potty and was so excited she didn’t have time to put her clothes back on), so I guess I shouldn’t share them. We had our family birthday party at Mellow Mushroom last night and she had a ball with all her family!! We were a little disappointed that she didn’t want to blow out the candle on her cake….not sure what that was all about. She got some great presents—taps shoes (which she wore around the restaurant), rain boots, TOMS(which she also wore around the restaurant), Dora Doctor Purse(which she slept with last night), clothes, books, and much more!! Today, she is having her class party, so I made cupcakes for them. I am now on to finishing up for her birthday party this weekend!! The banner is for the part, but I went ahead and hung it up, so she could enjoy it all week. We love this girl to pieces!!!!
Here are a few pictures with mommy trying to play professional photographer….We have a major ham on our hands!!
Madison sure does love the water!! She would spend hours in the bath tub if we let her, so I know this summer we are going to live at the pool and beach!! I thought it was about time we got her into swimming lessons to help her learn the fundamentals. This week was her first class. She was a little shy at fist, but by the end of class she was doing it all!! I can’t wait to watch her enjoy the water this summer!!
As you all know by now, Madison LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba!! My parents gave her tickets to the show this past weekend for Christmas and boy was she so excited!! Before the show, I told her to “get her sillies out”, so I could take some pictures. This is what I got—a whole lot of cuteness!! She had a blast at the show!! Thank you Gugu and Paw Paw!!
So I tried to get her to stand still to take a picture---- but that wasn’t happening. She did sit still at her Valentine’s Tea, so those are semi decent pictures. She was so cute at the tea—notice in the picture that she is lifting her pinky finger while she is drinking the tea--she told her friends, “this is how you drink it”!! These pictures do, however, so off her spunky and fun personality!! She was such a sweet Valentine!!
I hope every one has a wonderful Valentine’s day!! Craig and I are going to go to a Valentine’s lunch downtown while Madison is at school!!! Then I am off to a Valentine’s Day Tea for the moms in Madison’s class!! I can’t wait!! Here are the Valentines we are taking for Madison’s friends at school.
I mean this girl rocks our world…..she is just a vivacious and fun little girl!! She makes every day so fun and full of life!! I think these say it all…..oh yeah—she had to wear her boots just like mommy—too stinkin' cute!!
It has taken awhile to get the memorial in place, but it is there now and WE LOVE IT!!! We just went out this weekend and put some flowers on it for him!! I just love that he is in such a peaceful and beautiful place…. right under an angel oak tree. We were able to design it ourselves, which meant a lot-- those are his actual footprints on the front. “There is a star in Heaven….It comes out every night….I know the star is you BENNETT…. You have come to say Goodnight.” We Love You!!
FRONT BACK
It is so sweet to have the simple things in life bring you so much JOY!! Watching my baby girl try to “Fish” in the back yard was what I needed to sooth my sole. She is just a blessing from God that brings so much JOY into our lives!!
