Baby Update

Just an update about our baby boy we're expecting. At the last Dr. appointment I had an ultrasound that estimates little Jacob to be 3 lbs already! With this in mind, and since I had a c-section with Taylor, we went ahead and scheduled his c-section date for July 22nd. So, hopefully that remains the plan! I'll keep everyone posted as we go...

Taylor's Big Girl Bed

Taylor's "Big Girl Bed" arrived yesterday. We had been talking about it for awhile so she was pretty excited to try it out. These are some pictures of her first time sleeping in it for her nap. Mommy had to stay and rub her back until she fell asleep but since then she's been great about getting right in. It's funny to see her in there because she takes up less than a quarter of the bed! All of her animals are at the foot of the bed so today when I put her down for a nap she said, "Just a minute Mommy, I have to get my bear in bed with me." Which meant moving him from the end of the bed to up by her :) We have to give a big "Thank You!" to Mimi for her new bed! It's definitely beautiful in her room and just what Mommy wanted :)

Easter Egg Hunts

Here are some pictures of Taylor hunting eggs this year. She had three different egg hunts so she's become really good at finding them!

Her first was at our church, where she not only had to find an egg, but find them with her name on them! That's a little difficult to explain to a 2 year old. It was more of a hunt for Mommy than Taylor!



The next was at our friends, Heather & Daryl's Crawfish Boil. There were a lot of kiddos there and the Faus's were so thoughtful to have a jumping castle and an egg hunt! Some of the eggs were camouflaged but Taylor had lots of fun with the help of some Easter Bunnies :)



Finally, it was raining on Easter morning but it cleared up enough to have a small egg hunt in the front yard that afternoon. We had our friends, Chris, Christina, and Harry over for lunch and then I totally forgot to hide the eggs in the house after lunch! Sorry Harry!

Blue bonnets growing...

Here are pictures from the last three years in the blue bonnets. It's fun to see how much she has grown in such a short time!

Bluebonnets 2009

We had a fun photo shoot this morning at Creekside Park in The Woodlands! Taylor and Mommy met up with Ms. Jessica, Ms. Krista, Ms. Kayla, and Ms. Amanda and between all of us we had a lot of kiddos to take pictures of. It was a lot of fun though and we had a picnic lunch afterward. Here are a few of my favorites and I will try to post more soon, including a comparison of the last few years in the blue bonnets. Enjoy!

Baby Boy Alarid

We found out today that the newest addition to our family will be a little boy! We had a wonderful ultrasound appointment. The doctors were really nice and told us everything they were looking at. Everything looks good! Our due date is August 1st and we're very excited to meet him. Here's a first look at our little boy:
