Visiting Family & the Zoo

The last weekend of February, we just up and decided to head to Hanford. We were discussing making a trip in the near future, at the breakfast table on Saturday morning. When I asked Liam if he wanted to go see Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, Papa, Auntie's & Cousins he shook his head yes. When I asked again he said "eesss" (yes). So, we packed up and took off!
First thing he did after getting out of the car, ran up and get on the bear!
Then, he pet the dogs

Liam was a bit nervous about the jet, Mama was VERY willing to help!

These two are so close in age, they just love to antagonize one another



So sweet, he just adores Rhys


Liam was also gifted a bike a few weekends ago, from one of Kevin's friends/coworkers! His little boy was done with it and they were going to donate it, but offered it to us first. Kevin was so excited to get Liam on it... Liam enjoyed it too!
C'mon Dada, let's go!



Last weekend, we decided to try the Santa Barbara Zoo again (last time we went, we felt Liam was still a little too young to truly understand). The past couple of months, Liam has really taken an interest in animals and their sounds, so we thought it'd be a perfect Saturday outing. And of course, we were right!
Ready to head out (look Grandma, my zoo hat finally fits!).

He said "dog"... guess the fox did look a lot like Bruiser!

Looking at elephants (which he loved!)

Now I can really see those elephants, thanks Dada!
Kevin calls this the "mama face"

Riding the zoo train. Animals & a train, Liam was in heaven!

Mama & Liam, fun times!

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?!
