30 Weeks down, only 10 more to go!!!!

Yikes, I am already looking a bit on the ready to burst side but sadly still have 10 more weeks left. This sweet and VERY active boy is making me eat more than I did with Tatum. Oh well, all I care about is a healthy happy baby in the end. It's all worth it!!!
I love and have always loved sweet Tatum's cheeks!!! She is the highlight everyday for me. (besides my husband that is...) She has grown up into a little girl too fast and we can't stand it. She is pretty much 21 months old now and is going to be the cutest older sister to her baby brother. She LOVES babies and always wants to take care of them, hold them, feed them their bottles, or give them their binkies. I know she will be a great helper for her mommy and for that I am grateful. I will just have to keep a close eye on her so that she doesn't just pick up her baby brother and carry him around like one of her baby dolls. That would freak me out!!!

She has been learning new words almost daily and still uses some sign language for a few words. We love her little gibberish talk and how she likes to read us her bedtime stories. It's moments like these that I wish we could push the pause button and savor just a little bit longer. This stage has been one of my favorites so far with Tatum. She does have her moments where she can push mommy's buttons but I know that it's all a part of growing up and learning. I try to be EXTRA patient with these moments and know that it's a lesson for us both.

She LOVES her fruit snacks, and eats like a champ still. She will eat just about anything we give her and will taste it first with the tip of her tongue to see if she "approves" of it. Although when it comes to ice cream, treats, or cookies she doesn't even hesitate to "approve" of it. She just shoves it right on in her mouth. But aren't we all that way with our treats???

She brings us such joy and we can't wait to add to that joy with our sweet baby boy in 10 weeks!!
Such a good girl folding her arms for the picture. She did that on her own. I love her big girl outfit and her cute piggy tails.
