Lions Say ROAR!!!!!

Grayson and I have a lot of fun with animal noises around our house. He knows sooo many and I just eat it up.
For over a month now, is favorite BY FAR is "ROAR!".
Here he is in action. As you can see, we both enjoy it. He cracks me up every time!

Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice

THAT’S WHAT LITTLE GIRLS ARE MADE OF!

As you might have guessed, Dan and I found out today that our Christmas miracle is a little baby GIRL!
We are so excited to finally find out, start planning, thinking of girl names, and of course for me to start buying up everything pink in Columbia, SC….so everyone might want to buy stock in PINK!

We had such a great time peeking in on her and got a pretty good giggle that our little lady is a southern belle in training. She had her little ankles crossed, sitting ever so gracefully, probably enjoying some sweet tea. That is until the ultrasound tech moved her (to measure the femur) and the tomboy in her took over and she kicked so hard it made me jump. The best part was since her leg was on the “tv screen”, Dan got to see the kick (and my subsequent jump) in HD. So maybe we’ll have a little southern belle soccer player?
Here are some images from our u/s.
Can’t wait for Christmas!

We LOVED her little hand, waving to us:

Hi-yah! Kickin' at cha:

Smishy face view:

Profile of course. So sweet.

Baby Pool Excitement

A few weeks ago we broke down and bought Grayson a little baby pool.
We’d been fighting the idea because we paid to use all our neighborhood pools this year.
In the end, we decided having a baby pool would be fun for short stints and leave the big fun to the big pool.
So off we went… And while picking out the pool, we overheard a brief conversation that made us giggle at the South Carolina temperatures. A little boy, probably 4 years old, was begging for a new pool since his had popped a few weeks back. Here’s the mother’s response: “Logan, it’s July and way too hot for baby pools now. We’ll have to wait until next year.”

Ha ha. Yes, it IS hot. Our temps are always around 100 degrees. In fact our little temperature gauge told us that the water, straight out of the faucet, was 85 degrees. Whew!
So here’s little man, enjoying his little tiger themed pool. And in true Momma form, he loves the baby pool as much as the big pool. Go figure!
