Stand Up Time

Christopher has been pulling himself up to furniture for the past 2 weeks. It seems like ever since he learned how to stand up, there's no stopping him now. He loves to crawl around EVERYWHERE and pull himself up to anything he can. (This picture was taken the first time he stood up in his crib.)

He's also started eating more "people" food lately which is really fun. We went to IHOP today (they were giving free pancakes) and he ate plane pancakes and drank water from my cup. He was so proud of himself, it was cute to watch. I'm starting to think that we might be able to enjoy going out to dinner again sometime soon, instead of just having to do take out.

M is for...

Today was preschool day with the little girl I watch. I go over to my friend Rachael's house and we do it together with her son. Well, today we were learning the letter M, and lets just say it wasn't very smooth. The kids were MONKEYING and Rachael and I had a rough morning. She somehow gathered enough strength to get the kids coloring and practing their letter and read them a couple books.



We're hoping tomorrow will be a better day to reinfoce the letter M because we are taking a field trip to McDonald's!! I am looking forward to that one.
Thank goodness McDonald's starts with M. Actually today on the way home from preschool I stopped there to grab some lunch. The kids had already eaten at Rachael's but I still needed food, and for some reason fast food seems to be one of my few pregnancy cravings. I tend to crave french fries and hamburgers when I'm pregnant, so I justfied being pregnant, sick, and exhausted and allowed myself to have a DELICIOUS lunch. The sad part is that I'm still looking forward to another McDonald's visit tomorrow. I sure hope I get these cravings under control, otherwise I'll be broke and fat by the end of this gestation!!!


On a quick side note, Christopher is really starting to be a handful. Here are some things he learned do this past week:

Stand up to furniture (which includes his crib, so now sleep time is play time)
Say Mamamamama (it can go on forever) when he wants me
Climb stairs
He rediscovered his tongue, so now it tends to hang out of his mouth most of the time. Yesterday he stood up to the front door and licked it clean. Everytime I told him to stop he would do it again, smack his lips, look at me and give me the cutest smile. If he wasn't so cute I would probably have lost it by now.

Outnumbered

It's official. I have been completely outnumbered by the boys living in this house 3-1. There's Cory, Christopher and Baby Boy #2 vs. just poor lonely me!!!

I guess for those that didn't know I better do some explaining. Cory and I are expecting our 2nd child this August. We are SUPER excited about it, and I'm actually really happy it's another boy. Ever since I found out I was pregnant (again) I've been saying (and wishing) it's a boy. This week we went to the Dr. and they found out it is indeed another little man for this house. I'm only 13 weeks along, so it's still kind of soon to tell, but the doctor seemed very confident about it being a boy. Anyway, here's a "cute" picture of baby 2.
