Randomness post

Just a few random things to post about...

*Caleb is totally convinced that he is also having a baby, and that his baby is named "Mol"-and he says it in the funniest way. Today at a consignment store he picked out some boy clothes for "Mol." (I didn't buy them) Too funny!
*Little Girl Boling will be named Molly Kathleen, but we will call her Molly Kate. My grandmother who passed away before I even met Bryan's name was Kathleen, so it is in honor of her. :)
*Caleb loves the song "Facts are Facts" by Stephen Curtis Chapman. I have been playing some "old school" Christian music in the car lately and that is by far his favorite. He jams to it, and I love it because he is singing words of such truth. :)
*We start back up at The Little Gym in a couple of weeks. We can't wait!!!
*I got to go see New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys this past week with my good friend Kristy. It was AWESOME but I didn't get to bed until 2 and paid for it for 2 days! I'm not as young as I once was! ;)
*I'm trying to get Caleb back to napping, and so far, so good. It makes SUCH a difference in his mood in the evenings, even though he goes to bed quite a bit later now. It has been great for this pregnant mama!
*Caleb is in a "But, WHY, Mommy?!" phase. Fun times! :)
*Even though I apparently haven an anterior placenta, I am feeling the baby move at times. I love it. I am 20 weeks now. Halfway there!!
*Caleb's current favorite book is "Green Eggs and Ham." Love it!
*I am buying more clothes than I probably should be at this point, but baby girl clothes are ADORABLE!! I just can't help myself! Luckily everything I've bought has been on major sale or at a consignment store.
*I found Molly Kate's bedding on Craigslist. Pottery Barn Kids sweet, sweet bedding, pink and white, for an amazing price. I can't wait to start on the nursery.
*Took Caleb to see the Winnie-the-Pooh movie at the theater with his friend Conlee last week (it is SOOO hot here right now!!) and he liked it. He calls the screen a "big tv". :)

It's a...

GIRL!!!!!!

We are so excited to find out that #2 is a girl! We weren't supposed to find out for another couple of weeks, but when I went in to my last appointment, they couldn't find the heartbeat. I was scared to death, but they pulled in an ultrasound machine, and everything was fine. Turns out I have an anterior placenta which blocks the heartbeat from being heard by the ultrasound machine. I asked the doc if she could tell what the gender was, and she showed us the money shot--It is most definitely a girl! :) I have bought a few things, and some great friends have already bought me a few things, so I couldn't be happier. We have a top name contender, but I think we're going to wait just a little bit before we make it Internet official. :) Hooray for some pink in this house full of boys!!!!!!

Caleb is THREE!!!!

Family picture at his birthday party at The Little Gym!

I can't believe Caleb is THREE!!! He had a great birthday and party, with lots of friends and family who came out to The Little Gym to celebrate!!! His party was a Mickey Mouse theme, and he loved it. Bryan and I bought him a Mickey scooter which he seems to like a lot. We had to go searching all over town for a helmet to fit his head...and ended up with one designed for ages 8+! What! He had his 3 year well child visit a few days later, and is in the 98th percentile for height and 82nd for weight. His doctor said he looked like a very healthy boy! :) I thought I'd write a little about the things he's saying and doing right now, since I've neglected this blog way too much lately.

*He is attending his first VBS at a friend's church this week and seems to really be enjoying it. Mommy is enjoying having 3 hours to herself...can you say, SPOILED? ;-)
*His favorite color is green
*His favorite number is 2 (although this may change now that he is 3)
*He loves Mickey Mouse, Diego, Curious George, and the Cat in the Hat
*He loves playing outside...riding his scooter, his trike, playing in his sandbox, going to the park, etc.
*He likes plain spaghetti and LOVES breadsticks. His favorite restaurant is a toss up between "the Tomato place (Fazoli's)" and Jimmy John's.
*He is now in the Preschool environment at church...I think he'll really like it there!
*He LOVES to dance, and has QUITE the moves.
*He can count to 20, but occasionally leaves out 17-18 ;-)
*He can count to 10 in Spanish (thanks Handy Manny)
*He also loves to sing
*He likes to whisper in our ears and have us whisper in his
*He doesn't seem too sure of this whole "new baby" thing just yet...
*He loves his flip flops
*He could sing the ABC's all.day.long.
*He is fully potty trained and ready for preschool in the fall!
*He is testing more limits lately
*He won't eat anything green to save his life...sigh...thank goodness for vitamins
*He likes taking pictures
*He loves being the center of attention around people he's comfortable with
*His confidence grew by leaps and bounds this winter during his semester at The Little Gym. Can't wait tor the Fall semester to begin!!!! He learned to do forward rolls, walk on a balance beam, make baskets in a basketball hoop, hang from rings, walk on uneven bars, and a bunch more things!! It was amazing to see.
*He loves to be the "helper" in those kinds of environments. Definitely a pleaser.
*He likes to hold hands with his friends
*He has an amazing memory
*He says the funniest things on a daily basis...I need to start blogging them!!!

Phew! That's all I can think of at the moment!! I am just loving seeing Caleb grow and change into such a neat little person. He is a boy who loves his mama, and that brings me great joy. I love him so much, and can't wait to see what this next year brings. :)
