Gradynisms....

Grady is doing so many fun things these days, one of which is talking a lot!  (Sometimes too much...)  :)  These are some of the funniest things he says:
*Gabba Gabba - his favorite show Yo Gabba Gabba
*Brush Teeth! (his favorite things to do, which he does all by himself standing on his step stool and his quite proud of himself)
*Home! when we stop the car and get out, even if we aren't at home
*Beppy - what he calls our friend Becky ;)
*Carter (in a very low voice) - his friend at daycare
*Brobee - the character from Yo Gabba Gabba who he is going to be for Halloween, and he also has a backpack stuffed animal that he loves to carry around and hug
*Applesauce - one of his favorite things to eat every night
*PEASE! - his version of Please which he has mastered in the perfect sweetest little voice to get what he wants....
*Paul - he loves to yell Paul when Paul isn't in the room or point out where he is, it's hilarious!
*Hut Hut Hike - Paul and Grady play a version of football where Grady is the center and Paul is the quarterback and Grady loves to toss it to him between his legs
*And many more that I can't think of right now!

He is pretty much imitating any wordswe tell him to, especially names of people.  He is OBSESSED with his photobook where he can look through and point out everyone and say who they are.  So obsessed that we have to hide it from him....  He especially loves to say:  Ashley, Isaac, Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, Mommy, Cassie, Patrick, and Carter and picks those people out in his book right away.  It's an awesome way for him to remember who everyone is that he doesn't get to see very much. 

His other love is books, but not just any book, he has his personal favorites that we read over and over and over and BEG him to pick out different ones.  He gets really mad if he goes through the basket to find a book and he can't find the certain one that he wants.  He could sit and have us read books to him all night long, which is great, but we are both getting pretty sick of reading his LAME alphabet book over and over.  Paul actually has it memorized......   I love that he loves to read books though!  He will sit and "read" his favorite to himself also, and points like we do and says it in the same tone of voice we do.  It is so funny to watch! 

We're having a......

 BABY! 

I guess it's time to officially announce it on the blog, after much prodding from certain people.....  :) 

We are excited to announce we will be expecting our 2nd baby in April.  My official due date is April 10th, the ultrasound measurements at 10 weeks confirmed my due date I had already figured. 

It will be a scheduled C-section so we will get to pick our babies birthday, which seems sort of weird, but fun!  As long as the pregnancy is going well and I don't go into labor on my own we can do a c-section up to a week before my due date, so look for a baby BEFORE April 10th! 

Gradyn loves to rub my belly and say "baby" over and over again.  He is finally learning that he can only RUB my belly since it has a baby and not HIT it like he does his daddy's belly.  :) 

He is also obsessed with babies right now and loves to say "baby" as loud as he can over and over again when he sees a baby, in person, on TV, or wherever. 

I have definately been feeling MUCH better than I ever did with Gradyn, I could actually get off the couch and function the first 12 weeks, which was NOT the case with him.  But, I have still been having quite a bit of morning sickness, all day long.  The good news is that it has been getting less and less intense and not lasting as long.  And, I have been feeling good in the mornings now (after throwing up right after I get up) and feel good during the day until about 5:00 at night, so my "morning sickness" has moved to "evening sickness".  Hopefully it goes away all together soon! 

I was 12 weeks on Sunday, so I've been praying!

Here are the rest of the ultrasound pics!  I will be 20 weeks at Thanksgiving time so hopefully we can find out the sex at that time!  

Finally.....the rest of our summer

 A few more pictures from the summer!  We had a blast spending many days at the pool, the children's museum, hanging out with friends, and playing! 

These pictures are from Paul's cousin Tracy's wedding to Tom.  The 3 cousins looked so cute all dressed up!  They LOVE to dance together at wedding receptions and have been getting a lot of practice!  Grady & Isaac are in love with each other, Luke doesn't think much of Grady right now.  He kind of cramps his style and takes away his brother! 

Cheese!  He loves to give my camera to me, say cheese, and beg me to take his picture.  Little ham!
