Georgia Aquarium

Gary's parents came to visit us this weekend, and we went to the aquarium in Atlanta. Andrew loved looking at all the fish! He would get so excited as we moved to each exhibit.

Touching the anemone.

He's wanting to take a picture by himself.



This view was in a small tunnel that we crawled through.


Andrew loved the big whale slide! He could have stayed there all day and played.

It's a BOY!!!

Here are the ultrasound pictures of our precious little BOY!! We are so excited about meeting our little guy in November. At the appointment, his heartbeat was 163 bpm, and he weighs 9 ounces. I have an anterior placenta like I did with Andrew, so I haven't felt a lot of movement yet. Just an occasional roll or kick if I'm laying in a certain position. The doctor said that I will feel a lot more in the next few weeks. Overall, he looks very healthy, and we are both right on track.




Here's my baby bump at 18 weeks. Gary was out of town, so I managed to take these in front of my mirror.

Little Monkey Jumping on the Bed!

Andrew loves jumping on our bed! This is probably his favorite thing to do with us in the morning before we get going for the day.

Spending time with Daddy!

I was getting ready the other day, and Gary was sitting in our room reading his bible. Andrew just loves spending time with his daddy and wanted to be right with him while he was reading. I thought it was precious!

Learning Letters and Numbers

Andrew is picking up more and more words everyday and has showed a lot of interest lately in learning about the alphabet and numbers. We have magnetic letters on our refrigerator and the other day, he started bringing them to me and telling me what letter it was. I continued showing him blocks with letters on them, and he now recognizes at least 16 of them. He can also say the whole alphabet, but sometimes he'll get off track and start all over again. He's so proud of himself when he does it. He also likes to count, and right now, he can count clearly 1 through 5 and with a little help he'll count to 10. Now, when we are out at the store or riding down the road, he loves to yell out the letters and numbers that he sees. I can't believe how fast he's growing up!

15 weeks pregnant!

I went for a regular OB check-up today. Our little one's heart was 156bpm, and everything else seems to be great. We will find out the sex of the baby at the next appointment on Thursday, June 17th. YAY!!!

Pool Time!

Gary decided to pull out Andrew's new whale pool on Friday while we were outside. I wasn't sure what Andrew would do because the water was so cold, but he didn't care at all. He jumped right in with all his clothes on and loved it!

Nick and Carrie's Wedding!

My brother, Nick and sister-in-law, Carrie got married on Saturday, May 1st in Atlanta, GA. It was a beautiful wedding, and it was so great to be with my family to celebrate their special day. Congrats Nick and Carrie!!

Here are the bridesmaids wearing our new robes from Carrie.

New little Snuffin!

Gary and I are so excited about our new little one that will arrive around November 14th. We went to the doctor yesterday for our 2nd check-up, and everything looks great! The baby's heartbeat was 162bpm, and he/she was measuring right on track. I'm 11 weeks and 2 days today! We are so amazed and blessed by this little life that the Lord has created and are so excited to become a family of 4!

Easter

Easter Egg Hunt at Preschool

Andrew had a lot of fun hunting eggs and throwing them in his basket.





Dying Easter Eggs

Gary and I dyed the Easter Eggs while Andrew watched, but he had a lot of fun playing with them and throwing them on the floor after they were dry:)




Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful worship service at Parkway, and then we were blessed to have lunch with the Odom family and to spend the afternoon hanging out with them.

Trip to Memphis

The 3 of us took a short trip to Memphis last week to visit our family, to celebrate Andrew's 2nd birthday a little early (he will be "2" on April 6th), and to go to Nick and Carrie's wedding shower. Gary also managed to get his eyes checked and pick out new glasses, and my grandparents generously gave us a deep freezer to bring back to Auburn. It was a jam packed 3 days, but we are always so glad to spend some time with the family!

Andrew's birthday party at Chick-fila.

Cupcakes for the party. Elmo is still one of Andrew's favorite characters.

Andrew and his cousins (Haley, Alex, Eric, and Blake). They had so much fun together in the playground.
