Moses Lake Property!

My parents have this beautiful plot of land right on the lake. They were doing some yard work so we thought we'd tag along and get out of Western WA for a day!

I've mentioned this before, but Oliver does not like help. He can do everything by himself, including walking on this dock. Don't worry, Daddy was close behind.

He was seeing all sorts of new animals!

Watching Dzia Dzia mow the lawn.

These 2 I absolutely love!! He sat still long enough!

A Few More From the Playground...

He likes sticks.


This is my un-fearful child trying to jump off the big toy. Really Oliver? Really? Haha. Thank goodness we both kept him in close sight. Literally, one second you look away and he's doing death defying stunts. Can this new baby be a girl please? Or at least a tame boy? If I have two high energy, 'do everything by myself' kinda kids, I don't think I'll survive!

At The Playground

So I don't know what is developmentally appropriate at almost 16 months when it comes to the playground but my jaw dropped when I saw that Oliver could climb up 4 of those ladder 'things' before needing help. I nearly lost it, I was so scared, then I realized he was just fine. Haha. He played with the big kids too. He definitely forgets he's so small!

My Boootiful Baby.

We were at Moses Lake yesterday, enjoying some warm weather and escaping Seattle's rain. I've been playing around with my new camera the last few days so I took almost 200 pics in like 3 hours. Haha. I'll figure out all the settings, but I think either way it takes great photos!

14 Weeks

2nd Trimester!

Beebs Update

Daddy and Big Brother got to hear the heartbeat at yesterday's appointment! 160 bpm! Nice and strong. Nothing else exciting happened but if I don't write down the little things, I'll forget! I did lose 2 lbs which is very weird to me bc of how much and how fast I gained with Oliver. Haha.

Oh and anatomy scan is scheduled for June 15th! I want to move it up a week, so perhaps it'll be sooner!!! Either way, just a few more weeks until we know the gender!

**Edit**

I felt the baby kick at the appointment!!! I've been feeling what feels like flutters the last few days. I've also been feeling gas, and yes I know there's a difference! My gas is always up high where there is no baby yet so it's a dead give away that it's not the baby. The flutters are always way down low. And by 'always' I mean the last 3-4 days!

The actual full on kick happened when my OB pressed the doppler into my pelvic region to pick up the heart beat. The minute she dug it in, I got this big kick back like, "Hey don't squish me, I'm in here!" The kick wasso hard I flinched!

This whole second pregnancy thing is quite amusing.

Oliver Says,"Brush Your Teeth!"

I told him to act happier about brushing. This burst of excitement is what I got:

Oliver's Bathroom

A few weeks ago we finally finished getting Oliver's (and the new baby's) bathroom all decorated! We wanted to go with something gender neutral-ish but still fun. I love the fishys and the vibrant blues!




Oliver says, "I love my bathroom!"

Predict The Gender

We posted a link on the left hand side, under Beebs' pregnancy ticker, to guess the gender of the new baby.

Most know we really want a girl. And the Chinese Gender Predictor predicts a girl! It predicted Oliver would be a boy! So, here's hoping...

Have fun with it and post your true gut feeling. Don't be nice bc you think I'll be happy! Haha. And be nice predicting the weight, height, and date of birth. Haha. I don't want to go a week overdue again! And no 9 pounders either. Think LITTLE baby. :]

Thanks!

Silly Billy

Oliver is such a silly boy. Here he is playing with his new ball. And yes that is a Tasmanian Devil shirt. And yes it fits his personality to a T!

13 Weeks

Welp here I am. Huuuuge compared to Oliver. Haha.

Here's me at 15 weeks with Oliver. Don't mind the face! It was the only picture I could find on this computer and I DID NOT want to look on any of the others!


Overall though I'm really happy with my belly and I don't mind it one bit. We'll see how it progresses throughout the next 6 months! I haven't gained any weight though! With Ollie I had already gained 10 lbs by now.

Here's a picture just for fun. Oliver will not pose for a cute picture.Or anypicture for that matter. Haha.

See He Likes To Help Out!

Beebers!

A Little Intellectual Time..

..in the nude.


I'm also very pleasantly surprised that Oliver is taking an interest in books again. He's sort of on and off. I tried really pushing them on him when he was a baby, but he didn't like them at all so I just kinda gave up and figured he'd like them in time. I keep them in his bookcase and low and behold, the last few days he's been plucking them out and bringing them to me. We look at the pictures and he really likes it. Especially now since he knows what more things are, I feel as though he knows what he's looking at so it's become more enjoyable. We're not to the point of reading what's on the pages but he likes to point out animals mostly. Either way I'd rather he take an interest on his own than have Mommy and Daddy push it down his throat and he hate them in the future because of it.

I'm a book nerd and I'd like to pass that down!!! :]

Bath Time

I grit through the sickness to TRY to take some pictures of Oliver. I think these turned out okay. He still refuses to give up any nice straight on, smile shots. Oh well, I'll just keep trying.

This one was such a pleasant surprise. Except I can't keep him from sticking his tongue out! Silly.

He was kissing his reflection. Haha. He LOVES giving kisses lately. For NO reason. I hope this sticks for awhile. :]

Giving a Toddler Condiments...

like perhaps Ketchup to compliment the tater tots,

Bad Idea. :]

The Olden Days...

This was Oliver asleep in his car seat 2 days ago.

This is Oliver at 8 days old fidgeting in his car seat.


George and I just looked at each other in awe when we were headed home a few days ago and just thought it was uncanny how much he looked like when he was an infant!

How fast they grow...

Love

The Ever Popular Babcia.

Not Too Happy.

Daddy likes to put things into Ollie's pockets so he becomes conscious of them. He was not amused today.:]

12 weeks!

I've never been so light headed, dizzy, and overall yucky feeling! The nausea has gotten better-ish. But man, this kid is mean.:]

Bubbles!

Look at him blowing bubbles with his mouth! Haha. He can get them pretty big now!


Mr. Oliver was quite proud of himself. :]

Mowing the Lawn.

I'm not kidding when I say he likes to help out!

Dirt!

Now that the weather has been a bit nicer, Oliver has been able to explore the out doors. He likes to walk up to potted plants and throw the dirt out. Then he rubs it in his hair. Oh boy...

Helping.

Ollie spent the day helping Babcia and Dzia Dzia in the backyard.

Sucking On Some Toes

Oliver can be such a weird little boy sometimes. We caught him doing this in the car a few days ago.
