34 Weeks

I'm starting to feel huge.

Channeling his energy

2 victories in 1 day!

Jackson has refused to put on his snowsuit/boots etc. to play in the snow this year. Not even talking about or seeing kids on the big sledding hill in the park behind our house was enough to convince him. In the past we would get his snowsuit half way on and he would scream to take it off and then scream I don't like boots! He has gradually warmed up to wearing his hat and gloves and now even asks for them before we leave the house. So today we tried again, hoping that going sledding with his friend Sophia would be enough to change his mind. It was and he loved it.

Jackson has never attempted to climb out of his crib so I have not felt the need to put him in the toddler bed. But in my third trimester it has gotten alot harder to lift him in and out of the crib. Then last week he woke up in the middle of the night screaming for no apparent reason and when I didn't pick him up right away he pulled himself up onto his stomach on the side of the crib. I still don't think he'd climb out but it was obvious he could accidently fall out if he got mad enough. So Tim put the toddler rails on this morning.

And he took his first nap in it this afternoon.

30 Weeks

What a difference 3 weeks makes. I seem to have had a growth spurt in the last week. Suddenly I feel huge and have outgrown many of my clothes. And I don't believe I can walk across a room without waddling. Tim keeps saying I was never this big with Jackson. Thanks honey.

The bag did say easy to peel

Tonight I was busy doing dishes when I turned around and caught Jackson peeling and eating oranges. Had no idea he could peel an orange by himself! Guess he's not my baby anymore....

For the curious.....

Belly pics at 27 weeks. It looks a little deformed in the first one.

Aquarium

We went to the Aquarium with Jackson's friend Sophia today. The kids got to burn off some energy and Jackson loved seeing all the fish. He was pretty fascinated with the sting rays but not quite brave enough to touch them. He did touch the pincushion sea urchin and star fish though.
