27 weeks pregnant!

(Sorry Robyn! Not trying to copy you. I just haven't taken any pregnant pics either.)

This Wednesday I will be 27 weeks. I am excited. It is getting closer. Just 3 months left. We haven't done anything for this little boy to come and still have no name picked out. Andy and I can't agree on any, but one. But I am still not sold on it.

We need to get bunk beds (Andy wants to build them) and comforters for the girls. Get rid of Sydney's binky and put her in a big girl bed. Buy bedding for the crib, paint the baby's room, and buy boy clothes. I am getting nervous. It is like having my first baby again. We are starting all over.

Sydney is potty trained so that is checked off my list. Thank goodness. No more diapers for her. She is doing well. She has been more difficult than Baylee was, but is now starting to tell us when she needs to go. Rewarding her with a starburst after each time she goes has motivated her to keep going on the toilet. She loves to unwrap the starburst all by herself. When she picks one out of the jar and I try to help her unwrap it she says to me "no, myself". She makes me laugh. I love her to death.

Cousins came to stay!

The little girls had fun jumping on the trampoline by themselves.





Baylee and Luke would jump face first into the lovesac. They did this for hours everyday.

Sydney and Gisele had fun playing on Luke's mattress even though it was just a few inches high.


Gisele wouldn't sit on the seats at the movie theater. She wanted to sit on the railing.


Dan and Linsey went to NYC for their anniversary. They asked us if we could watch Luke and Gisele. The kids had fun together. Sydney and Gisele are 5 months apart, and Baylee and Luke are 6 months apart.

On Wednesday we went to the movies to see Winnie the Pooh. It was a 60 minute movie, which was the perfect time. The kids did really well. They had lots of candy. We had some bad storms the night before so we had no power for several hours. It was a long day. Baylee and Luke jumped on the lovesac the entire time they were together.

Thursday we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch. It was very busy and everyone kept staring at me wondering if all of them were mine and I was also 25 weeks pregnant. As soon as we got our drinks Luke decided to poke a hole in his lemonade cup. It spilled all over the table. I was getting the food so didn't see until someone came over to help them clean up the mess. Once we all had our food it was fine. The kids played on the toys and then of course Sydney decided to pooped in her underwear (she is potty training). I took her to the bathroom after we ate, but she wouldn't go.

Friday we stayed home and played. We went to get pizza for dinner.

Saturday Andy took them all to Lowe's. It was a nice break. He was gone Wednesday night, Friday night, and Saturday morning for young men's. I was able to get the rest of my cleaning done. People asked him at Lowe's if all of them were his too.

We had fun being together. Ever since Luke and Gisele left Sydney keeps talking about them. She misses them already.

Playing dress up!

Rapunzel and Snow White.

Lately the girls have been playing with all their toys. I love it. I don't mind if they are making messes with toys. I feel like they were watching so much TV, which is my own fault. They love playing with their baby dolls. They are definitely girly girls. Sydney didn't like wearing the dresses, but loved wearing the high heel shoes. Thank goodness we have 2 pairs or they would be fighting over them.

Swim Lessons!

Baylee, Olivia(friend), and Sydney eating ice cream sandwiches their swim teacher bought them. The swim teacher was so sweet and always included Sydney. She let her go down the slide several times by herself and caught her at the bottom.
Baylee has her face under water. We were so proud of her. She listened so well and wasn't scared.

During Baylee's lessons, Sydney was eating lots of snacks.

Baylee is swimming all the way under water. That is a milestone for her. Recently just in the bathtub she would freak out to get water poured over her head. Hopefully she will keep it up the rest of the summer.

Baylee had private swim lessons because my friend asked if we could be in her class. The class she was in before had 6 other children that already knew how to swim. During this class she had one on one with her teacher for about 5 minutes. I was so glad that she could have private lessons and learn so much everyday.
