20 months//6 months Pregnant

Trenton is just starting to form sentences and is quite the little parrot. It's funny when he picks up things that you don't intend to teach. He loves all sports and can't wait to golf with daddy. They will go hit balls and play on the 11th green in Gigi & pop-pops backyard. He loves playing ball, bat, kick, coloring, bubbles, baloons and of course lollipops and ice cream. We go to the beach and have been swimming in Gigi's swimming pool a lot this hot summer. He is just exploding with touch, taste, movement and talking right now. He's so interested in everything and wants to talk about it all. He follows directions, helps mow the lawn, take out the trashes, gets his diapers, vacuum, clean etc. He loves to help with anything mommy and daddy are doing. He is very good at playing on his own now. His independence is so helpful and will make having another little one much easier. I keep thinking that this is such a fun age, but so has the last 19 months of his life.. It just keeps getting better. I love how we can communicate now. He is such a tender hearted little boy. He loves to give hugs & kisses and is such a cuddler. All that said, he also loves the word, No. That has been a tough one to crack. He gets upset and frusterated when he can't say or do something and it's hard for him to control those emotions. I think I'm getting a taste of the scary parts of becoming two. It just takes a lot of patience, even more than before... which is what parenting is really teaching me. 

It will be interesting to see how raising a girl is different. He was such a good baby and is really a great, smart toddler... I just hope she's as nice to us ;) 

I'm 6 months prego and starting to feel really uncomfortable. I'm having a lot of acid reflux and indigestion, which I know is normal but I didn't have it the first time around. Growing a girl has been different. I am feeling so heavy already and I know the hardest part is still ahead of me. It is getting harder and harder to bend over, pick Trenton up and run after him.. i'm just too tired. I always wondered how people do it the second time around, chasing a toddler.. now I know. You nap, sleep and sit whenever possible because you are just wiped out. This will be a tough last trimester but then we get to meet our baby girl and it will all be SO worth it. Also, i know these next couple of months are going to fly, as they all seem to do now, so I'm packing our days with fun in the sun and making our time as special as possible. 

We erased the 'Trenton language' that was on the chalkboard because he learned more words then we can fit on te door... But, I still wanted to document him saying a couple of things so we can look back on him learning to talk. His sweet little voice just melts my heart. Even the simplest of words just sounds so cute coming from him. We are loving talking to our little boy and hearing his silly pieces of stories. Here is a little taste...

Thanks for stopping by!

Clearly, I was surprised and Shaun is in total shock. I scared Trenton with my screaming.. he said, "Momma?" poor kid. One day he will understand. We both felt like we knew all along.. only had a girl name picked out, felt different this pregnancy etc. but it was still  such a surprise to see pink in that cupcake! Cant believe Trenton will have a littler sister. I hope they are as close as my brother and I are.. it is such a special bond. Yay! 

It's a....

Girl!! Can't believe it, still shocked. We are ao unbelieveable blessed and so excited to have such a perfect little boy and now our baby girl. Time to go but some pink stuff and frilly headbands!
