BIG ULTRASOUND WEEK 26

2 weeks ago, we had our big ultrasound.  It was so much fun to see our beautiful little boy!!  We got to see his brain, heart, face, spine, legs, arms, etc. and everything looked absolutely perfect.  So much fun to see his cute little profile!!

Aww.. I am just so in love with this little guy already.  He is, by far, the most active little guy we have had yet.  He is moving and moving constantly.  He is so funny because he lets me know when he doesn’t like a way I am sitting because he just kicks and kicks until I change positions.  He hates it when I try to lay down on my right side and will just punch until I move to my left.  He already knows how to get what he wants..haha.  Every appointment the doctor just laughs when he is trying to find his heartbeat because he will find it in one place, and then find it again in a totally opposite place.  Such a little wiggler, but I love it!!  So reassuring that he is so wiggly and so healthy.

I am so so excited to meet this beautiful little boy!  It is amazing how much my heart is just overflowing with love for him already.  I can’t wait to hold him, cuddle him, squeeze him, and love him.  I hope he knows how much we love him and how excited we are for him to be here with us.  He is so lucky to have 2 amazing older brothers to have fun with.  The other day Porter came up to me and said, “Mom, can you believe that we are going to be three brothers soon?”  He had a huge smile on his face and I could tell that he is getting excited.  He always wants to feel my tummy to see if he can feel the baby kick and is coming up to my tummy and talking to the baby.  I am such a lucky Mama!!  I am feeling so blessed.    Our due date is:  February 3rd!  Just to get past the holidays and before we know it, he will be here! 

We will keep you updated as we get closer to his arrival! Smile

Little Boy Catchup #1

I have so many cute pictures of my little boys that I just had to share and do a little update on them. 

Porter loves building things just like Paul does.  Paul and Porter were playing with legos one day and Paul built Porter his name out of legos.  Porter thought it was the coolest thing ever, so Porter wanted to try also.

Here is Porter with the one Paul built

And here is Porter with his name that he built.  So talented!!

We have a little friendly cat that lives across the street from us.  Whenever the cat sees Porter and Kaden playing in the backyard, it jumps over our fence to play for a little bit.  The boys love him.  And he is so good with the boys.  He is so playful and friendly.  I keep telling Paul that we need a kitty for the boys, but he says not yet.  Hopefully I can talk him into one very soon.

This little boy of ours is such a little snuggler.  He loves cuddling with blankets and his stuffed animals.  I thought these pictures were so sweet of him cuddling with his blanket and playing with his little stuffed giraffe.

Porter loves reading stories to Kaden.  It is so cute listening to Porter make up and tell the stories to Kaden.  Kaden listens so attentively and it is so sweet.  I love watching these 2 little boys interact so well with each other.  They are the best of friends and love being with each other so much.

Porter LOVES taking baths and especially love when I turn on the jets in the tub.  Porter had poured some extra bubbles into the bath without me knowing.  They dissolved before I turned on the jets, but the jets definitely helped them return.  I returned to check on him after a couple of minutes to see if he wanted them off or if he wanted to keep them on..and this is what I saw..haha.  Biggest bubble bath I head ever seen.  Porter was in complete heaven and had so much fun.  What a silly little boy.

Kaden LOVES being outside.  He would be outside every minute of everyday if he could.  Here are some cute pictures of him driving his new car..haha, and playing with the leaves.  Such a handsome little guy.  Love his curls so much!!

hahahahah.. this picture cracks me up so hard.  Kaden loves trying to be like his big brother Porter.  He tried his hardest to get the underwear on and was so proud of himself when he finally got it on..haha!  Cute little guy!

Poor little Porter can be such a restless little sleeper.  This is how I found him 3 days in a row.  The times that he fell off of his bed onto the floor, he didn’t even wake up.  I picked him up and moved him back to his bed and re-tucked him and he didn’t wake up at all.

Porter has this new game that he loves playing.  He gets the cushions off of our couches, grabs the toys, our little trampoline, our kitchen bench and blankets and builds all kinds of fun contraptions.  This particular one was a train and he said that he was the conductor and sitting in front of the train..haha.. so creative.  I love this kid so much!

Porter’s bedtime is still around 6:30 til 7:00.  Because Kaden still takes like 3 hour naps, he usually doesn’t get tired until around 7:30, so he stays up and plays a little after Porter falls asleep.  Here he is playing with toys before going to sleep.

Kaden misses Porter so much when Porter goes to preschool.  He always asks me if he can go to preschool with Porter..poor guy.  I guess it just isn’t fun at home when Porter is gone and it is just me and him..haha.  Here is Kaden pretending to go to preschool.  He put his little backpack on and then went down our stairs and blew me kisses and said, “Bye Mama, I’m going to preschool”.

Little Kaden playing with bubbles, and cups in the sink.  His favoritest activity ever.  This easily entertains him for an hour.  What a cutie..look at that little grin.

Mmmm…. spaghetti is yummy

I took the boys to the dollar store to pick up a couple of kites.  Porter was so excited he couldn’t even stand it.  Paul and Porter and Kade were outside forever trying to get the kites to fly.  It didn’t work so great at home, so Paul took Porter to the park where there was a lot more open area and where they said that they had a lot more success with the kites.  We need to definitely fly kites more often.

The boys LOVE laying in the middle of big blanket and then having Paul wrap them up and swing them in the blanket.  The do this almost every night before bed.  Here Kaden is getting ready.
