Baby Stone #2

0 comments


I had an ultrasound today at my 12 week check-up (I'm about 12 1/2 weeks right now). Everything looks great! This baby didn't wiggle around as much as Charlotte did at this stage, but he/she did a few spins :) We will find out the sex of the baby in January! We can't wait...our gut feeling is that the baby is a girl, but God clearly has a way of surprising us!

Christmas Card

1 comments

I had a tough time picking out our Christmas card this year. I suppose I put extra pressure on myself because we didn't send out birth announcements :) Just thought I'd share the finished product! I ended up choosing a folded card so I could include more pictures. Hard to believe that next year's card will have TWO kids. Crazy :)

Two of the photos we used in the card were taken by Holly's mom when we went to visit her in San Antonio. She took some really cute ones of Charlotte and Canon, too. Click here to see some of my favorites! :)

7 months old

I've been a terrible blogger this month. Part of it, I'm sure, has do with the fact that I'm pregnant and have been sick for the past few weeks because of it. On the bright side, I've really only been super sick at night which is such a blessing because I can still be a fun mom with Charlotte :)

I never updated after Charlotte's 6 month doctor appointment last month, but everything looks great! She was 21 lbs 9 oz and 27 inches long. She's above the 100th percentile for weight and height. Let's put it this way, she's in 18 month clothes. And some of her pants are 24 months because her legs are long. Insane. She wore a dress to church the Sunday before last that was mine when I was a little over a year old, and it was a little small.

I don't think she's gained any weight this month, but she may be a bit longer. I really can't believe that she's 7 months old. How is time going by so quickly? Her personality has really come out in the last month. She's SO giggly and happy. She's really such a joy to be around.

- She is making lots of fun new sounds. Lately she’s on a “B” kick…bababababababbaba  Love it :)

- She's constantly lunging from a sitting position toward objects, and then lands on her tummy and gets so frustrated that she can't get there. I think crawling may be close by...

- She’s FINALLY rolling over! She’s had the ability to for awhile, but she just wasn’t in the mood :) Now that she’s discovered her new talent she won’t really stay on her tummy.

- She's eating 2 solid foods a day and 4 bottles. She also loves to hold a banana and gnaw on it. Most of it turns to mush and makes a huge mess, but it’s fun to let her experiment.

- She LOVES peek-a-boo, reading books (especially touch-and-feel), music, anything that’s paper (she loves to rip it up and make it crinkle) and banging her toys together to make loud noises :)

- She’s actually getting a little bit better at napping…which is wonderful for her preggo mama :)

- She’s really into faces and is always grabbing ours and squeezing our noses. I love to watch her explore. She’s so curious

- For some reason she thinks it's hilarious when one of us carries her down the stairs and other walks behind her...that makes her laugh so hard

- Her favorite game these days is finding me :) I put a blanket or something over my head/face and she pulls it off and just laughs and laughs. It’s so sweet.

-She’s still such a social butterfly, but when we’re at home and she can’t see me she gets pretty unhappy. I guess it’s just the age for separation issues. At least she has no problems being left at the church nursery!
