It's A Girl!

We went to the ultrasound yesterday, and found out we're having a girl. We are both really excited about the news. She is healthy too. We'll post the ultrasound pictures and possibly the video soon.

Happy Halloween

This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the weather, feeling cozy, lots of candy, and of course my birthday. :) I found such a deal on this beautiful pumpkin suit for Coleman today. He didn't mind wearing it either, even the hat. It will be fun to take him trick or treating on Friday.

Sweet Hoodie

The temperature has dropped at night, and we didn't have any heat on, so in the mornings we would all be cozy in our sweatshirts until the sun warmed up the house. Jared got Coleman to walk around with his hands in his sweatshirt in this video. We got our heat turned on since then so our house is cozy now.

Sue came up to visit for a few hours yesterday. Coleman was so cute with her. He'd be pushing his stroller and then stop and come back and give her a hug. He was specifically showing off for her.

Coleman is showing signs of liking order and cleanliness. If his hands get dirty he'll show them to me and say "Owie" so I'll clean them. When he sees something on the floor like a piece of paper, or food he'll say "Uh-oh" and point it out to me. Then he'll say "Clean up" and won't stop showing me until I clean it up. He also likes his seat to be clean before climbing into it for a meal. He'll point out to me any food bits I missed so i'll clean them up. He also likes telling the dog and cat "No, no". Sadie has bitten several of his toys and when he sees a toy with her bite marks on it he'll say "No bite Sadie".

Cool Boy

Coleman went to a fellow schoolmate's birthday party and got these sunglasses as a party favor. He loves them, especially while eating. We think he looks like Elton John with them on. Could this be his Halloween outfit?

I've been feeling so much better this week, eating better and my belly is growing very well. This is a video of Coleman taking some of his own quiet time reading some books. He does this often, its so cute.

Cyrstal LeRoc Eat Your Heart Out

Another favorite video of mine.

Sisters Do As Sisters Should

This reminds me of my cousin Laura, and I can't stop gigglng about it.

Today Coleman successfully used the potty after dinner! What a celebration. He is wanting to be more of a big boy, like spooning his yogurt, or pudding into his mouth by himself, or holding onto the banister and walking down stairs.

When I ask him where Mee-Maw went he'll say "Up, up, up" because she flew up in an airplane.

Coleman loves music and will sit in front of the CD player for 20-30 minutes just listening. His favorite song is "Old McDonald". His second favorite song is "i come from alabama with a banjo on my knee". He'll say "Knee" when it comes on.

I've been feeling much better since my Mom left. I saw the doctor today, and we will have our ultrasound on oct 29, Wednesday, just in time for my birthday. :) So, what does everyone think we'll have? Boy or girl?

Tour of our Home

Today my Mom left after a week visiting with us. About 5 minutes after dropping her off at the airport Coleman said "Bye-bye Pee-paw". I think it clicked that she was gone. We had a great week with her and I feel so much stronger and better as a result of her help.


Here is a mini-tour of our house. It looks so much better since Mom visited :) Thanks Mom!

Mee-Maw Visits

My Mom came down for a week to help me out since this pregnancy has not been easy. My Dad has been very generous to give up my Mom for a week. She's revolutionized my kitchen and I've been eating soooo well this week.

Coleman calls my mom "mee-maw" because he can't say Grandma. That makes my Dad Pee-paw.

Here is Coleman showing Mee-Maw how fast he can run and acting very silly.
