20 Weeks!

Well with 20 weeks comes our latest ULTRASOUND!! YAY! It was sooo great to see a glimpse of our baby and also hear that this baby is growing PERFECTLY!!!

There is only 1 baby in there, but they were able to give us a shot of both sides of the profile!

I have to include a 20 week belly shot as well...we are GROWING!!!!

Nearing the 1/2 Way Point!! 19 Weeks!

This picture was taken on my date night, for my dear friend Ashley.
Love you...and you're welcome!

Love my little Angel...

I hold one baby in my arms today,
I hold one baby in my belly today,
and I hold one baby in my heart today.

Love you little angel, can't wait to meet you!

ps. Have a GREAT birthday w/ Pop Pop!

Our 1st Playground Adventure!

It was a VERY WARM 84* on Sunday and so we decided to get out of the house! We ventured over to Easton to do a little walking around and grabbed a smoothie...which Lucas promtply stole from me (yes, an 18 month old can steal your smoothie...)

As it was getting warmer, and Lucas was getting bored...we decided to leave Easton in search of a Playground. We ended up at Blendon Woods Metro Park (gotta LOVE Columbus Metro Parks!) and we had a ball! Lucas was not afriad to climb the stairs or head down the slide...even face first a time or two!

All in all we had a great day! Lucas loved it and we totally enjoyed being out in the WONDERFUL Sunny weather ourselves! I think this face says it all!

BUNK BEDS!!!!!!

So a dear friend of mine helped me with a 'bed swap' and scored us a set of Bunk Beds for Lucas. Although he isn't quite big enough for a "big boy" bed quite yet, as the beds were delivered today I found myself VERY EMOTIONAL over the fact that he is, in fact, getting to be big enough. Where has my little baby gone? I mean, I know in quite a few respects he is still a baby. But wow! I guess this is all a part of growing up. I'll try to not be sad for the time that is slipping away, as long as I know I'm cherishing every moment along the way. I also can't help but think...I'll never be able to show this "big boy" bed to my dad. Yet another first, I don't get to watch him experience. I wish it didn't make me so sad...all this growing up...and I don't get to share it with my dad. NOW I understand what my mom means.....

Using a Spoon...

My goal by the time this new baby comes is to have Lucas doing 2 things proficiently...1 is using a spoon, the other...communicating with me somewhat! We started with the spoon yesterday. I gave him a bowl of spaghetti (all chopped up) and a spoon. I showed him how to hold the spoon, scopp the spaghetti and put it in his mouth. He did VERY well for the first 10 minutes...and then as you can see through this photo progression, well he just gave up and went back to what was easy.

Doin' great w/ 2 spoons, actually. (He stole mine and didn't want any more help!)

Gave up on the spoon...back to the fingers...

Skeddy never tasted so good!!!!

OK...so we'll keep working! I do realize that Spaghetti probably isn't the EASIEST thing to have him try on his own, however he LOVES spaghetti and I was actually surprised that he didn't dump it all over his tray! We are making progress people!! :)
