Sunday Afternoon Fun

Our Sunday afternoons consist of lunch at my mom's house with her side of the family. Then family time. Today consisted of all that plus a little front porch swimming and some cousin playtime.

When we went to the beach Natalie was a little unsure of the water. She liked it the first day and then the second day she wasn't crazy about it but warmed up to it. So I have been determined that this girl would like to swim. Bethany and I carried Natalie, Kynlee, and the boys swimming at Aunt Kathy's this past week and Natalie did ok with it. I think the water was a bit to cold for her plus it was our afternoon nap time. Then Saturday we went to Cole's birthday party and Randy and Denise's and I put Natalie in the pool and she LOVED it. I decided then that Natalie needed a pool of her own. Since we are in the process of building a house and Natalie is getting a little brother, a Fred's $8 Sofia the First blow up pool with have to do for now. I do believe this was the best $8 I have ever spent.

I will continue to take her to the pool at Aunt Kathy's but for the days we aren't able to make it Sofia will have to do :).

Baby #2

We finally got to find out Baby #2's gender today. Daniel, Natalie and I found out at the doctors office because we aren't strong enough to wait and find out with everyone else :). I called the bakery while still in the doctors office so they could get on the cake that our mothers would cut into to reveal the gender. When I was pregnant with Natalie, Daniel and I found out on Tuesday and then didn't have the reveal party until Saturday. If you know me you know it was not easy to keep that secret. This time my doctor's appointment was on Friday so we decided to have the reveal party that night. We kept the party pretty simple with just family.

Finally......It's a..............

Natalie is very excited about getting a brother! :)

Baby#2 is a boy and we could not be more excited. His name will be Jace Daniel. Baby J  checked out just fine on the sonogram and was measuring perfectly. The tech estimated he weighed about 10oz.
Daniel and I are beyond blessed to have both a girl and a boy and thank God daily for trusting us with his children. We can't wait to meet Jace.

Natalie: 6 months

Wow where did the time go? My baby is growing way to fast.

At 6 months you:

• weigh 15lbs 13oz
• height 25 inches
• wear size 2 diapers
• can wear anywhere from a 3-6 months to a 6-9 month just depending on the brand and what it is (you need 6-9 for length)
• have the cutest little arm and leg rolls
• have learned to spit and you think it is fun to do that while eating
• have been on your first road trip to the beach
• have rolled from your tummy to your back but again that's not something we just love to do...you are more interested in scooting across the floor
• are sitting up with support...I just like to be there just in case you tumble...you don't sit for very long and its not enough to say you can sit by yourself officially.

We are so in love with these blue eyes
