Here are my dishes that Nathan got me for our anniversary. Aren't they cute?! Alex is so funny with the banana sticker on his forehead. I put it on his forehead once and now whenever he has a banana with one he has to take it off and stick it on his head. Alex is terrified of the vacuum! Nathan always tries to make a point whenever he vacuums to have Alex help him. It's funny. He's freaking out the whole time but you can tell he kind of likes to push it around. Lastly, these are my men sitting on the couch. Definitely two of a kind! I caught them sitting there watching tv and snuck a picture of them when they didn't have a clue. Nathan gets really into things and can zone everything else out. Apparently Alex got this too.

I've been doing a lot of cleaning the last couple days. Real Exciting! Today, I was doing a lot of cleaning with sos with bleach and didn't think about what shirts I was wearing. I was wearing a nice blue one that I wore yesterday before I took a shower and then after my shower I changed into a nice purple shirt. They're both maternity and I don't have a whole lot of shirts that fit me now. Well, I noticed that my purple one had white spots on it and realized what it was from. Then, I realized that my blue one probably looks the same. I was so upset! I ruined two shirts today!

Tomorrow I have my doctors appointment. It'll probably be a lot of the same old stuff but Nathan gets to go with me to this one so that'll be fun.

Nathan is going on his first trip this weekend. I'm going to miss him a bunch! He's going to Arizona and will be gone friday through monday afternoon. Alex, Chalupa, Poky, and I are all headed to Salina for the weekend. Should be fun! I'm glad I have the family close! It wouldn't be much fun to live somewhere far away when my hubby goes on trips.

My dad brought down a chest of drawers and a toddler bed for Alex's room a couple weeks ago. We finally got the chest of drawers moved in there and I think tomorrow we're going to put the bed together. I put all of Alex's and Addison's clothes in the drawers. It was fun to put all those little girl clothes in there!

We've been working with Alex with the potty yesterday and today. He went once yesterday and once today. We think he holds it in cause he doesn't want to go potty. When he finally did it we were so excited that we scared him with our reaction. He was uber excited to get chocolate as a treat though. Now, whenever we sit him on the potty we say if you go peepee you'll get some chocolate! Hopefully it'll click soon for him.

Been a while!

Here's my baby bump! In the second pic you can probably see my pregnancy belly button ring. I'm trying to keep it in there as long as I can cause it grew together a little with Alex. I'm 21 weeks now. So far I've gained six pounds. I'm at 131! I'm totally proud of this cause I gained so much with Alex. We'll see if I can keep it up though. Addison kicks sooo much these days! Nathan loves feeling her kick! I don't remember him enjoying it as much with Alex. I think cause this time around it feels so much more real. With Alex it was like we didn't really get the idea that there was a baby in there till he came out. My next appointment is on the 27th of this month.

The next few pictures are of Alex's hair cut! He looks even more like daddy with his hair cut short. It's so cute. I finally got around to giving him a real haircut (not just little trims here and there) and it was so traumatic. It was also hilarious! Right away he starts screaming and crying! He said jajaja and nooo over and over between sobs. The jajaja thing was funny cause that's his word for helicopter. I've got no clue why he was saying that one. Then he starts itching cause he's got tiny little hairs all over him. He's rubbing them in his nose, eyes, and mouth. Then, he keeps moving around making it impossible to give him a good haircut. It turned out decent but there are so many things I'd fix on it if he'd let me. I'm just glad I had Nathan to hold him.

He's so cute in all of the other pictures! I totally forgot that I had taken them!

I watched Emily for the first time this morning. It went so well! Nicole dropped her off around 6:45. She ate a little bit and then went to sleep. We all slept till around 8:45. It was so nice to get more sleep! She was so nice and calm and hardly ever cried. Right now she's just eating a lot and sleeping a lot. Alex did really well with it too! He wasn't jealous at all and the dogs were curious but left her alone. Nicole was on the airplane today and has a little longer call out time than on the helicopter. So, she came over for a couple hours to see her little baby. I think it was nice for her to be able to see her at least once. I'm watching her again on friday. It's nice to have her be so calm and happy. She sat in the bouncy chair several times and was completely happy just sitting there. It's funny when I'm holding her little Addison seems to kick a lot more. LOL!

Okay, I just have to post really quick that my son apparently does have a little bit of Johnson in him! Alex eats a banana every morning for breakfast. He loves it! Well, this morning he didn't want his banana. I put him in his high chair and gave it to him. He wouldn't take it. So, I put it on the table in front of him and told him he has to eat it. I told him I'm not letting him down till he eats it. He keeps pushing it away. He's being so stubborn right now. He's not crying or anything. He's just sitting there whining every once in a while. So far he's been sitting there for 30 minutes. I think I'll let him go a little while longer. If Nathan were home all he'd have to do is give him a look and he'd start eating. LOL! Yesterday, it was funny at lunch time Nathan called me and I told him that Alex wasn't eating his lunch very well. He had me put him on speaker phone and he told Alex to eat. Right away Alex starts taking bites again. It was pretty funny! It's nice for me to have someone like Nathan to rely on to help me out with things. I'll have to let you all know how this turns out. I have a feeling he's not going to eat it though.
