I have needed to update for a while and just kept putting it off. Since last time I posted, Peter turned 2 and we seemed to celebrate for about 2 weeks between having a little party with my family at my mom's, his real birthday day, a little party with Pete's family, then more family coming down, and a present here or there from friends. I am pretty sure he didn't mind a bit with all of the cake, cupcakes, and opening presents. To my sweet Peter, here are some things I love about you being TWO:
1) The funny things you say each day - we are always surprised at the new things you are learning and things you pick up from what you are hearing.
2) You are too smart! (I am a little biased.) You impress me that you know all of your colors, memorized your first Scripture this last week (Phil. 4:4) , and know the difference between all of the construction and emergency vehicles out there..lol. You told me this week on the swing, "Mom, I am going back and forth!" You are making so many connections now and you really do have good listening ears, whether I think so or not. :)
3)You really do feel bad when you hurt someone...even if you meant to do it at the time. Thanks for the sweet kisses.
4)The way you get so excited and always want Daddy to chase you as soon as he gets home.
5)The way you could spend eternity outside swinging, running, finding bugs and sticks, and walking the dog.
6)The basketball "moves" you learned from watching daddy play and from your friend William. (Video to come on this one.)
You challenge me quite a bit but I guess it wouldn't be toddlerhood without the challenges!
Sucking the icing off of the cake.
Everyone having lunch at Rock House after church.
Posing with Daddy.
In other news, we got to eat our first garden produce from our garden this week! Its all been experimental so I was glad something grew and was edible..lol. The tomato plants are doing good..still waiting on squash, green beans, and corn.
I am about 27 weeks pregnant now! I am thankful for every week that passes. I am very ready for August to get here because this pregnancy has been so crazy. My dr. found a small tear in my placenta two weeks ago and after a good two weeks I started having some more issues this week while Pete was in Costa Rica. Thankfully my mom came the whole week to help me out with Peter and was here already. I am on "modified best rest" and am supposed to sit or lay down a good bit during the day, and not lift anything over 10 pounds, not do much housework...etc. etc....sooo tough with a toddler. I am just taking it one day at a time and trying not to let it overwhelm me! While my mom was here she cleaned my house, helped me get SIX dinners made and in the freezer, helped clean up all the nesting messes I had drug out of the closets and get a few things done in Hadley's room. (We actually settled on a name already!) I had bought a bedspread for the bed in there, finished sewing curtains, and painted some ladybug frames and we got those up and the closet organized. I still need to figure out what to put on the walls but at least it is functional so far. Some day I will take some preggo pictures and post them maybe!
