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!! :)

Growing UP!

A lot of changes are taking place in our house. Let us not forget, in the excitement of Baby #2 on the way that Baby #1 (Lucas) is GROWING UP! Wow! We are approaching the 18 month mark (4-4-11) and I just can't believe the changes he's making!! Lucas LOVES to dance! He loves music and just being active. He is like his mother (as my nickname from about his age was SQUIRT because I never walked anywhere, I went from crawling to running and that is what he does too) always on the go! He loves Veggie Tales and I am pretty certain that he said Bob yesterday! LOL

Here's a little video of him dancing.

He is also into doing EVERYTHING that we do, himself! He is so big and loves to help out. He wants to get his own milk out, eat his own food, he tries to put on his own socks (although still unsuccessful) and he wants to vacuum when I do! Here he is helping daddy nail some loose nails down on our balcony.

He has also FINALLY learned how to drink out of a regular sippy cup. He was a champ at the straw cup so early on, however we've been trying to transition him to a regular one for months now and he couldn't quite get the "Tippy High" concept! FINALLY on St. Patrick's Day he accomplished this great feat and has been rockin' the regular sippy cup every since!

For the most part, Lucas is a laid-back active little 18 month old who loves to sing and dance and ESPECIALLY splash in the tub!! He is the joy of our life and we love him so much!! Oh...and he nearly ALWAYS has a remote in his hand :)

15 Weeks and AHHHH...the 2nd Trimester!!!

Well, I am finally past the 1st trimester, I will have to say this time, it DEFINITELY was not my friend! But we are into the 2nd trimester and besides feeling a little more than sleepy by 3pm I am doing GREAT!
Belly is on the grow, tiny little movements are being detected! Life is good! So excited for this new little one!

15 Weeks Pregnant

3 Becoming 4...

Well the GREAT news has been launched, officially...WE ARE EXPECTING!!!

Scott Baby #2 is on the way and due to arrive September 10, 2011 (9-10-11)

We are not finding out the gender again this time, it was such fun keeping it a surprise the last time! Lucas has NO clue what is happening...but I am confident by the time the baby arrives (and Lucas is 23 months) he will be well aware!

Here is a photo at 12 weeks!

Just a little "bump" to get us started! 2nd trimester starts on Sunday!! I hope with it comes 6 more months of WONDERFUL pregnancy...and NO NAUSEA! :) Lord, let it be!!


Baby is doing just GREAT inside! We got our 1st ultrasound on February 11th and the baby's arms and legs were moving around! So neat to see!!
