Picture Catch Up

I've sort of been slacking on taking pictures and definitely slacking on getting them posted lately. Here are just a few random pictures I've taken this month.

Still having fun in the water!

 Carter and his buddy John enjoying the pool one day.

 Mmmm. First corn on the cob, and he loved it!

He was so cute laying on the couch one day just playing so quietly, so I snapped a quick picture. That look reminds me of myself..... a lot. I think my parents will tell you they have tons of pictures of me, especially as a teenager, with this same look on my face. Annoyed. "MOM?! What?"

 Love that smile!

25 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:

25 weeks

Size of baby:

About 13 1/2 inches, and about a pound and a half.

Total Weight Gain:

Gain of 15 pounds so far.

Maternity Clothes:

Just the shorts.... no shirts yet. I'm hoping to not have to buy any maternity shirts this time around. I know that sounds crazy, but I still have lots of room to grow in my normal tank tops, and I have bought a few shirts recently that are just one size larger than I would normally buy. I think that will get me through. Yay!!... because maternity stuff is expensive, and not very cute!

Gender:

Still a girl.

Movement:

Lots of movement, especially from 8pm-12am, and early in the morning.

Sleep:
Still just OK.

Symptoms:

Feeling pretty good!

What I miss:

Sleeping on my stomach

Cravings:
Not much that I can think of.

Best Moment this week:
I'm still loving to watch my belly jump and move all around. She is one active little girl!

What I am looking forward to:

Honestly, our house coming off the market. It will officially be off on August 1st, after 10 LONG months! I'm feeling antsy about starting on her room, and I can't do anything until we are no longer having showings. And plus, I am SO done with this process! ... for now anyway.

4th of July Weekend

We had a great holiday weekend! Hope you did too!

Here are some pictures from our relaxing time at the pool and our trip to see fireworks.

Jumping to Daddy

Swimming with Grandad

Dunking his face in the fountain

Just us three

Silly!

Hanging out waiting for the fireworks to start

Not too many picture of just us these days

And this is all I get? =(

"Watching" fireworks with Daddy. This picture makes me laugh! So we had this suspicion that Carter would be absolutely terrified of the fireworks. Before they started, I said to Eric, "Hey point up in the sky like you're looking at them, and I'll snap a picture real quick...." So he did. Well, we were right, Carter was totally freaked out, and spent the whole 15 minutes with his head buried in Eric's lap. It was pretty pitiful. I have a picture of that too, but for the sake of embarrassing my child (and my husband), I'll just post this one =)
