23 weeks & 18 months

Jack turned 18 months on us a few weeks ago and we just love this stage in his life. He is so fun learning new words and running all over the place!! He still loves balls, and we set up the basketball hoop his grandparents gave him and he just loves that too. He always wants to be outside, and loves going on bike rides with the family and Buddy. He uses a fork and a spoon when he eats, sleeps 12 hours at night, and takes a 3 hour nap during the day. :) He's such a good fun little guy. He started trying to throw temper tantrums a few weeks ago, and he sure is a stubborn little guy.. he threw one once for 30 minutes! Not even kidding, that kid has drive! LOL. But he threw a ton for about 5 days, and it was hard not giving him any attention, but now it's been almost 2 weeks since he threw one... so I am not sure if they come in waves, or if he's learned he doesn't get what he wants when he throws them ~ Hopefully it's the second one ! He loves to give hugs and kisses before bedtime, and will start waving "goodbye" when he is tired. We take him in for his 18 month appointment next week.. I am sure he will still be in the 90th percentile in everything.. he is a big boy! We sure love him!!

Jack and his cousin Diego. They are good friends :)
As for me, I am now 23 weeks. My belly grew I swear in a span of 4 days! None of my regular shirts fit anymore. Crazy. One morning I put on a pair of pants, and then at the end of the day they didn't fit anymore!! And I know I didn't eat that much - LOL. Nausea has pretty much gone away, and this little boy is kicking and moving like CRAZY! Trent can already see my belly move from the outside.. we are going to have another little wild one on our hands :) !


Life has been crazy around here the last few weeks! I took another job (I know I'm crazy, but you gotta grab opportunites when ya can!) It is only an 'on call shift' in nuclear medicine 1 weekend a month at Davis Hospital. But the last few weeks I have been trying to get orientation in along with my other job and while trying to edit a wedding video and get my gymnastics judging stuff ready to go for the next season! Wooo, I think things are starting to slow down a little. Which is good. But no worries, we have still had much time to play :) .
My sister in law should be having her baby any day now, and we are so excited to have another niece or nephew in the family. We will get to go see them in about a month, so we are super excited. And my parents are officially living in California now. :( sad they are so far away, but they seem to really like it down there. And, we get to go to Disney Land when we go see them.. and Trent has never been, so it will be fun bringing our kids there when they get a little older.
And as for Trent, we got him a Ford Escape and we sold our Grand Am. He is still at the Base and he is still my man in shining armor. Oh how I love that guy. :)
