Growing x2

Our little boy is growing up so fast.  Each day we're excited to see what new tasks we might be witness to.  In this photo, you can see a colorful caterpillar tunnel that we bought for him to crawl through.  A couple of his friends have one and Jameson has always been wary to move through it, so I figured we'd get our own to have at home.  He now loves crawling through it and I'm confident he'll brave it over at a friend's house, too.

Jameson still has his big baby blue eyes, which we LOVE.   He's sweet and thoughtful.  I think we may be seeing some Type A personality starting to come out though.  He's not bossy or controlling around peers (tending more towards "going with the flow"), but he may be a bit of a neat freak.  He loves putting all laundry in the hamper (including our clean clothes), helping move clothes from washer to dryer and really, really likes throwing garbage away (especially Kleenex).  He's grown increasingly familiar with his routines.  When we're getting ready to eat and talking about having a meal, he heads into the kitchen.  After telling him that it's time to go upstairs and get ready for bed, he heads for the stairs and then to his room - unless we say "bath" and in that case he makes a beeline for the tub.  When it's time to change his diaper, he goes to his changing table...time to brush teeth, he goes to the bathroom.  When we finish brushing, we now have a tradition of shaking mom's vitamin bottle like a maraca and dancing to the beat Jameson creates.  It's our "exercise before bed".



Baby #2 is 16 weeks old and we're eager to find out if Jameson will have a brother or sister.  Either way, I can't wait to meet this little one.  I just started a pre-natal yoga class to give me and baby time.  At home, everything is about Jameson and I started thinking how different this pregnancy seems to be from his.  I put so much energy and focus on my first pregnancy and while it isn't feasible to do the same this time around, I'm appreciating the little time away I can have with my newest little one.
