Aquarium today

Just some photos from today at the aquarium. Blake loves the salamanders and the jelly fish the best. Most of these pictures are of the boys eating their lunch after walking (running) through the exhibit.

Sleepless nights and playful days

Well we are dealing with sleepless nights once again with Blake. Lucky for us his 2 year old molars are coming. I finally felt one of his molars this morning, so I'm almost positive that is why he is waking up. It's been 9 days of sleepless nights, and I'm wondering when it will end. Blake is also going through a nap time hiccup. He has decided to not take them. I've been trying harder to wear him out during the day in hopes that he will sleep better.

Last Saturday Chris decided to take Blake to Gymboree and try it out. Blake loved it, which I knew he would. They did a lesson and play time. Chris said that Blake loved the slide the most. I would love to enroll Blake but I've decided it's too expensive and the timing is all wrong since I'm pregnant and soon will have another one. But it made for a fun day for Dad and Blake.

This past week we have discovered the Aquarium in Sandy. Blake gets in free, and it was only $15 for me for a whole year. What a great deal! The aquarium is quite lame to tell you the truth, but its perfect for Blake. He loves going and looking at all the fish. It's small enough that he doesn't get tired of it (I don't either), and I'm not worried to let him run around in the exhibit.

We also go to tiny tots tales twice a week at the South Jordan Library. Blake really loves it. Not only do they read a story, but they do music, rhymes, and play time. I think this is one of my favorite activities too. I usually meet up with Laura and her son Luke at all these places, which is nice for me!

Yesterday I also took Blake to the mall. They have a little dinosaur play ground and slides for kids. Blake wasn't too interested in it yesterday because there weren't any other kids. He loves playing with other kids. It's funny to watch him, Blake will go up to kids he doesn't know and giggle at them and all he gets back is weird looks. He doesn't seem to mind. He just goes on with his cheesy smiles. Chris was with me yesterday so we decided to take him to the carousel at the mall, and he LOVED it. That's something we'll have to do again.

So as you can see, we've had fun filled days, and not-so fun nights. Hopefully, soon we'll have some silent nights so that our days are even more fun!

Twilight Movie

So this is the cast of the Cullen's family for the Twilight movie. I'm not sure what to think...I'm a little disappointed. Edward doesn't chalk up to what he is describe as in the book. (At least in my imagination) I'm actually not too excited for the movie to come out because I don't think it could possibly be as good as the book. Hopefully I'm wrong....What do you all think?

I'm done.

I've decided I'm done with this pregnancy. This cartoon is perfect for today. Today I've come to the harsh reality that I've grown out of most of my maternity clothes. Let me tell ya, that really makes a girl feel good. I can't get over the fact that I have still have 9 weeks left! I went to my 31 week appointment yesterday and I am measuring at 33 weeks. It made me so happy to hear that because I now have reason to feel like I'm further along than I really am, but I quickly realized it doesn't really mean anything. I could still go to 41 weeks. Actually I take that back. If I haven't had the baby by my 39th week appointment, I'm pretty sure my doctor will induce me, which I'm all for! Dr. Later was quite sympathetic yesterday and told me not to worry because most second babies are ready to come by then. That gave me hope that he'll induce by 39 weeks. It hasn't been the most delightful 2 weeks. I won't make my long list of complaints...I'm sure most of you have heard them by now. I think I'll just have to take the advice of the doctor to lay low and don't do a lot. That will surely make this pregnancy go faster! :) If anyone has any ideas of what I can do with Blake to keep him entertained while I lay low send them my way please!

People in the car...

This picture cracks me up. I was looking through photos on Chris's phone last night and saw this. I remember this day very well. This was back in September. Blake was throwing a fit in the car and all I had was this magazine. He took it right from my hands and started looking at it. I don't think he actually looked at it long, but the pictures sure is funny! Something I can use as blackmail in the future I'm sure ;)
