Little of This, Little of That.

* It has been so nice here lately--in the 70's! Isabella and I played outside for quite awhile today. We pulled weeds, played chase, threw around a ball and she collected quite a collection of acorns. I saw the cutest outdoor shovels and watering cans--I think we will go back this weekend to pick it up for her.

* I am now over 15 weeks pregnant! Wow. Time is FLYING by. With Isabella each week seemed to last forever...not this time! I am starting to feel better and better. My latest cravings? Fruit, lots of fruit. Especially strawberries, blueberries, plums...yum!

* I'll be posting a "baby bump" pic this week. I am already showing! I haven't gained any weight thus far, but am sure that will change since I am eating more and keeping everything down.

* Isabella's latest vocab words: "ewwww? (this means hello)", "cooka" (cookie, cracker, anything you cook in the oven is a cooka), "go", "get down", "sat?" (what's that), "cheeee" (chewy our dog), "tee" (tree). I'm sure there are a few more, but her vocab has literally exploded in the past few weeks. LOVE my little girl!

* Isabella has a book called Feelings. Today I probably read it, oh...20 times? At least? I try to act out each feeling. She loves all of them....except the following: sad, mad, frustrated, scared. When I read her those she whimpers and hugs me. *sigh* She. is. adorable! And sweet, right?

* Leo tested for his next rank today...E-7 (Master Seargent). He doesn't feel very hopeful, but I do! He's so smart and knows so much about his job and the military. We won't find out until June, so I will be doing a lot of praying until then.

* I am addicted to Dum Dums. Guess it's better than chocolate, right??

15 weeks already? It is going fast! Isabella sounds like she's certainly developing a little personality! This age is SO fun!

Wow, time is flying by. Great to hear from you. We didn't have nearly as warm temps as you but we have been out the last few days and it has been wonderful.
I can't wait until Mia is saying more words like Isabella. It is so much fun when they begin to communicate in such a cute way.
Can't wait to see the belly pic!

Wow! Time does fly! I can't believe my baby is already 9 weeks old.
It has to feel nice to be able to keep food down. It'll be fun to see the belly bump pictures!

Hey, I haven't 'seen' you in so long. I can't believe you are that pregnant!

And the Feelings book story is precious. (You are so lucky, my boys NEVER act like that).

Second pregnancies definitely do go so fast! I agree with that! It's actually crazy how fast they go! With my second it felt like I just got pregnant and I was already in the hospital having her. :) Just enjoy it!
