Playing in the rain and gymnastics

Yesterday we all took Braum for a walk and while we were at the park it started to rain on us. We all ran home without getting too wet, except for you! When we got home you wouldn't come out of the rain so we let you play in it for awhile.






















Today we went to open play at gymnastics, it's been a couple months since we've been able to go so you really enjoyed it today. Your favorite thing to do today was jump on the trampoline, which you did a lot of!

When you got tired of jumping you went over to the jump ropes and got one, then you took it to another child and gave it to them. Then you would go get another jump rope and find another kid to give it to. It was sooo sweet to see you share with all the other kids. At the end of gymnastics they put out a bubble machine and gave you a cookie. You are typically very polite, but you have a hard time telling people you don't know (adults) thank you. When you got your cookie today you told the girl thank you without mumbling or hiding behind me. I was so proud of you for overcoming a fear.

LEGO'S

Today we bought you your first set of Lego's. They were a little difficult for you to do by yourself, but nothing that daddy couldn't handle. You helped me build a wagon and a little girl, and you helped daddy build a pretty pink house. Daddy pretended like he didn't like the house, but he sure put a lot of time and attention into it.

Today we went to the Zoo again, this time it was just you, me, and Isaiah. We got rained on a little but you two didn't seem to mind. Again you loved feeding the birds, Isaiah was a little scared of them but you fnally talked him in to coming in with us.

After we left the birds you both wanted to go play in the water, too bad you guys didn't have swimming suits because you both got SOAKED!!!!

13 weeks

I am officially 13 weeks pregnant now. Although I haven't been too sick I have definitely felt the effects of pregnancy more with you than I did with Andilyse. We are all so excited about our new addition and have started thinking about names for you when you come. Andilyse says she wants a girl but we all know what daddy is hoping for. Whatever you are we will love you just the same, right now I just pray for your health and mine throughout the rest of this pregnancy. I can't wait to feel you move inside of me and for your big sister and daddy to feel you move. You are already a blessing to this family and we love you very much.

Corpus Christi

We went to Corpus today with Oma, Opa, and Shannon. This is your second time to go to the beach and you loved it just as much this time as the first time you went. We took Daddy with us this time, he wasn't able to go the last time we went and you have been asking for the past month if we could take Daddy to the beach.

You built sand castles and ate cookies

But most of all you loved to swim!! You played in the water for hours and when it was time to come home you didn't want to get out of the water.

Zoo and Rainforest Cafe

You me and daddy went to the zoo today with Oma, Opa, and Shannon. Not too long ago it would take you a couple days to warm up to your Opa but you took right to him when they visited us this weekend. You even held his hand all the way from the car to the zoo. We saw lots of animals and you were a good tour guide.But the whole time we were at the zoo you kept asking if we could "go feed the birds". We finally made it to the birds and you loved feeding them.
After we left the zoo Oma and Opa took us all to Rainforest Cafe, you were a little scared of the elephants and the lightning and thunder but you loved the chicken!

On the way to the car after eating lunch you asked me and your Oma "what we going to do next?" But You didn't have enough energy to do anything because when you got in the car after a long exhausting day you passed out in the car while you were watching BarnYard.

Arts and crafts

This morning Andilyse greeted me in bed and handed me my phone and said "here you go sweet heart". Later in the day she colored for over an hour, played play dough for 30 minutes, painted for almost an hour and helped me scrapbook for over an hour. She truly loves arts and crafts. She has grown into a wonderful, caring, and creative little girl. She truly is a blessing and I can't wait to see her big sister skills.
