I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. With Lahna I counted every week and read all about what was happening. This time around was a little different. I found myself so preoccupied running around after my two year old that I sometimes even forgot I was pregnant. So here we are already 35 weeks and this is the first "belly" picture I've taken. Lahna is super excited and says she wants a sister just like Tinker Bell has in the movie she watches. She loves to put her head on my belly and listen to the baby and when the baby moves she gets a little weirded out. Just the other day she patted my belly and said "Come out baby, come out and play!" Hopefully she will be just as excited when the baby is actually here and she has to share the attention.
I came home from coaching the other night to an "empty" apartment and a fort in the middle of the living room. Lahna and Bryce were hiding from me which they thought was pretty funny! These days Lahna loves to play hide and seek. My favorite is when she is hiding and I'll ask "Is Lahna under the table?" and she'll answer me. It's super cute!

Just hanging out in her fort. She cried when we had to take it down so she could sleep on her mattress that night : (
At the beginnig of this month Henry graduated from the Air Force basic academy. Two extra bars for honor grad and expert marksman. Also awarded Warrior Flight. We are so proud of him!

Most of my family flew to Texas to see him. We weren't able to go because I guess they don't advise women who are more than 32 weeks to travel anywhere 2 hours away from home and Texas is a little farther than that. Since we weren't able to be there we sent the following pictures and some chocolate chip cookies...
Lahna is growing like crazy. She's in a pink phase right now. She says I'm happy mommy (which melts my heart) She won't sleep unless she has Mr. Bear (of course), her blanket from Grandma Lila, her Kiki blanket, Wolfie, Horsie, and Bumblebee. It's like a crazy circus in her bed every night. She is finally potty trained (except for diapers for bedtime and naptime, but I say it still counts). She's started to play pretend. She can count to 11 except she always misses number 6. She likes to sing the alphabet song. We go swimming at least once a week and she finally will put her head all the way under and "swim" to me. She's a mommy's girl right now. Sometimes when Bryce tries to give her a hug she'll look at him and say, "like mommy better." I'm loving every minute of it because I know it won't last long and she'll change her mind. If you can't tell I think she's pretty great (although she did bite me the other day which she has never done before and I was not too happy with her!)

Aunt Katie gave her fairy wings for Christmas since she's really into Tinker Bell. Here she's trying to fly but keeps getting frustrated because she can't.
I'll try to get Christmas, sledding, and some random pictures posted before the baby comes!
