A couple weekends ago we went to Art City Days with my God-family :)

Champ went to his first parade and his first carnival. He had his first fair fries...what can I say, this mama has her cravings :)

Champ sat with his Grandma Kathy for most of the parade, and Champ loves his Grandma Kathy! And I love that she is "Grandma" Kathy!

I took Champ to get his first haircut on Thursday and he did AWESOME. I totally expected him to be a turd but he sat there and thought the buzzer was funny and he was being ticklish! We didn't have to put much effort into making him sit still. He ate some raisins and played with some new toys.

I can't believe how much of a big boy he looks like now.

We are always getting people asking how old he is and before we can answer they say, 18 or 20 months? Ha try 12!

He has changed so much the last couple months and weeks. Every morning when we get him out of bed he gives us hugs and loves. And he'll cuddle with us again! You have no idea how much I've missed that!

We have a park just a little walk away, and Champ loves being outside. We waited until Joe could come too so that he could take Champ down the big slides! And boy does Champ love the slides! He could go down the little one all day long. Next time I blink he'll be going down the big one all by himself.

Vent-

Recently I figured out a friend...obviously not a real friend, and she is faker than the tans of the cast of Jersey Shore. Guess what, I'm done. I'm not going to kiss your ass and keep trying to be your friend, but for your sake I'm going to be fake like you to you because you like my kid, and I like your kids.

Thought-

I can't wait to see my family. I love living here away from them all but sometimes I just feel bad when I say that I wish I could be closer to them. I need my mom and dads hugs and my brother and sisters love and sarcasm. I need the weekend with a house full of craziness and some yummy food. I can't wait for Champ to play with his cousins and aunts and uncles.

Vent-

Please don't complain about not talking to us or about not seeing us or that we don't call you...if you really cared that much about us and really wanted to see or talk to us you can pick up your phone too.

Thought-

Of course we really want this baby to be a girl, actually a healthy baby is what we want, but after a boy who wouldn't want to think of having a girl too. Actually, I'm kind of scared to hear that it might be a girl. I've had numerous dreams about us having a baby girl and she always dies. I know how she dies but I never see it. I know its just a dream but things like that start to get to you especially when all the dreams I had about Champ were him being a blond haired healthy boy.

Thought-

If I'm this big at 13 weeks does that mean I'm going to be obnoxiously huge later? Sad...

I'm not sticking my belly out, I guess I'm just going to be huge...oh joy.

Thought-
Maybe its just me, but I think this kid is A freaking Dorable! And he really really needs a haircut!

Bebe and Bees games

Yesterday I had an appointment for my first trimester screening. This wasn't something we did with Champ but I'll take any opportunity I can to sneak a peak at our little baby. They measure some things on the baby to test for the risk of down syndrome and some other things, and they poked my figure to get some blood. Our little baby was bouncing and throwing its arms around. Apparently it wasn't doing what they wanted it to do so they bounced the wand on my belly to get the baby to move positions and all that caused was me hysterically laughing at the little ping pong baby...Joe's face was priceless. The doctor said everything looks great and we are measuring right on, 12 weeks 4 days.

Lets hope that it grows into its nose! Its getting more real now that we have another one on the way. Seeing pictures of our little baby and me popping out already...people weren't kidding when they said you show faster with number two :) I'm really scared about getting fat with this baby. With Champ I didn't gain very much weight and the only thing that grew was my butt and boobs, oh and not to mention I got fat in the face!

Ask and you shall receive!...We've been trying to talk some of Joe's family on the east coast to come out this way for Champ's birthday, and we found out yesterday that his mama will be here on June 21st, for a week! We are stoked! She hasn't seen Champ since he was two weeks old. She'll be here for his birthday day and his party. And Champ gets to spend two full days with his grandma all by himself...hope that goes well...that just wouldn't be right if we took him to the sitter while she was here, that would be just plain mean. That week we were planning on going to Fetal Fotos anyway to see if we can find out what the baby is, I'm sure she'll be excited :)

On Wednesday Champ got his first sidewalk boo-boo. Trying to crawl with two legs and one arm didn't work out so well and he has a nice big-o scrape on his chin, good things he has multiple chins! He has the cutest round chubby face :) I could kiss it all day long! For the last couple months I've been trying to get Champ to say "uh-oh" anytime he drops something, well what do you know he dropped his sippy cup eating dinner on Wednesday and said it! Now everytime he drops something he looks at it and says "uh-oh"! I love it!

One of our favorite summer things to do is go to Bee's games. We've been to a bit so far. We usually sit in the seats on the 3rd base line, but we've come to find out that with an 11 month old, that just isn't any fun anymore. So the last game we went to we brought the stroller and the blankets and parked it in the grass behind the outfield. Most families go sit out there so we decided thats our new place, and its so much more fun. We don't have to hold Champ down and he can crawl around and play, or crawl down hill onto the family's blanket in front of us...haha at least they were nice! Heres some pictures from the last three games we went to.Family Picture!

The loves of my life!
