Big Boy

Linkoln, you are a hilarious little guy.  You are always saying the funniest things.  A few weeks ago I asked you to grab the phone for me.  You replied in a very calm voice, "You can get it, you a big girl."  I was laughing so hard.  You are very smart and pay attention to everything, just like your Momma.  Some would call it nosey, but I call it inquisitive.  You love race cars and airplanes and rocket ships.  ALL BOY!  You also like to do everything Momma and Daddy do, except eat!  You still aren't the best eater.  But, you do LOVE pancakes and sausage.  You ask for that every meal.  Lately, you have been seeing me put lotion on my belly frequently, so you have to do it every time as well.  You are also doing great at potty training.  You are peepee potty trained, except for an accident every one in a while.  But, you still won't even attempt to go poopoo on the potty.  You'll get it though.

Here's Link in his big boy underwear, putting lotion on is tummy like Momma

So BIG!

In this pic, I am 28 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  It looks like I swallowed a basketball.  I am so big.  Little Tatum is moving like crazy.  He was kicking Tony the other day.  Hilarious.  Tony was laying in my lap, talking to him.  Every time he said something, Tatum would kick really hard.  I have been trying to eat better because I know I should and I also thought I was getting stretch marks!!  I'm growing so fast this time around.  I have already gained about 25lbs and I still have 2 1/2 months to go.  I better slow down.  Linkoln is finally understanding that he his going to have a baby brother, not a baby sisser! LOL.  He even calls him brother Tatum.  He is going to be a great big brother.

Growing Baby Brother

I am 24 weeks and 5 days pregnant now.  Time is flying!!  We can't wait to welcome this little miracle into our lives and home.  I'm sure it will be a roller-coaster.  But, none the less exciting.  We are still trying to help Link understand that he will have a baby brother soon (not a baby "sisser", LOL).  I think the baby already responds to Link.  When Link is close to me and talking or laughing, I can feel the baby turning flips in my belly!!!  We had an ultrasound done about two weeks ago and it is confirmed that he is for sure a little boy.  YAY!!!  I'm so excited.  I love having a son, and I'm sure it will be the same kind of bond with my new little guy too.  We have decided to name him Tatum.  Not sure about the middle name yet.  Maybe Tony or Link will decide on that.  Well, here are a few pics to show off our Little Guy!!  Enjoy.

Sweet little profile with a foot there in the background

Sweet baby!!!! Little hand.

Perfect little head

Look at those feet

He is for sure a boy!!!!!!

Family, Friends & Fun in LONDON

We went on a trip to London.  It was a quick weekend trip, which is one of the benefits of living in Europe.  Most places are just a very short drive or flight away so all you need is a couple of days to see the highlights of a city.  It was really cool to see all the famous places that I've heard of growing up.  It was a little cold, so most of the time we were bundled up.  We went with two other couples we are friends with and their kids.  All of the kids were very good, considering we had them going non-stop for 3 days.

Tony and me just off the plane, going through customs at the
Stanstead, London airport.
Link was sleeping in his stroller.

My two men waiting for the train on the Underground.
We used the underground system frequently to get around the city.
It was a kinda complicated system to figure out.

Our little family all bundled up in front of the famous Tower Bridge

Tony being goofy at Madame Tussaud's wax museum.
I think this was his favorite part.

Link, me, Adyson and Melissa rockin' out with Beyonce.

Tony and Link In front of the London Eye.
They are so handsome!!

Me and my pregnant self in front of
Westminster Abbey.
It was very pretty.

These are just a few highlights of our trip.  We had a great time.  There won't be too many more trips like this since we are going to have the new addition to our family coming in only a few short months.  Yay!
