I've been contemplating that my baby boy isn't going to be my baby much longer. He is growing so much and is so aware of things and interactive, but when he crawls up in my lap and snuggles...well nothing is better than that right? He is such a fun little boy and I kind of feel bad to rock his world with bringing a new baby into his life. I know he will never remember life before this sibling, but I can't help but feel a little sentimental!
Here are a few pictures looking back over the last 20 months!
The hospital...just a few hours old.
3 Months, boy is he cute!
About 6 months.
1 year old!
About 15 months!
18 Months!
As the end of this pregnancy nears I know that the next several months are going to fly by! I look forward to watching the relationship between Pete and this little one. We pray each day for them to have a special bond and friendship. But, I think there is just something special about the child that made you a mommy for the first time. Someone told me once that her first made her a mom and the second child made them a family, I think that's a great way to look at it.
We went out to the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park a couple of weeks ago just for a couple of hours, it was lots of fun. The park is huge, it's pretty spread out so we didn't get to see too much in our short visit, but I think we'll try to go back before we go home. Peter loved this play area they had, he could have stayed for hours!
The gorillas were really cool to see without any glass between us and them, just a mote!
Pete loves the Flamingos! He could also spend all day just watching them.
Still in a little bit of a shock that we had a girl! Oh this is going to be a whole new adventure!
You can see that Pete wasn't too sure about his sister, or maybe he just wasn't excited about taking a picture with her. He really does love her, he gives her kisses and makes her smile. I can already see that they are going to have a sweet relationship.
Here is the first picture of our little family of four. We are enjoying our little ones, life is busy but they make us smile and we are so thankful for each of them. I promise to post more pics soon!
We went to the zoo and the beach, went for walks by the bay, ate at all our favorite restaurants and just had a really relaxing week. Cliff had to work the first couple of days, but Peter and I enjoyed ourselves until he could join us for the family fun.
This was a really cute playgroud that was just down from our hotel right on the bay. Peter loved playing there! He looks out at the playground by our house right now and points like he wants to go and I tell him it will just be a couple of months to let all that snow melt!! So he was pretty happy to get to go down the slide and swing.
