Something's Going On Here....

Lately I haven't been myself. Here are some of my symptoms:

1) I have to eat often. I keep cereal on my nightstand for emergency purposes.
2) While I don't feel I've been irritable, my husband might disagree.
3) I've started tracking my life in weeks (currently at 12).
4) I am super tired all the time.
If you still don't get it, see the picture below. Rex and Jeff had fun playing at my first appointment a few weeks ago. Rex the cowboy knows stir-ups when he sees them :) Luckily I didn't have to use them for that appointment.

I'm due at the end of May, though if this baby's anything like Rex, he or she probably won't make an appearance until June. If this pregnancy is like the last, then I've got a couple more weeks of feeling like I'm going to hurl all the time and then things will be better.

Lost Boys

Cass and the boys came over for a little bit today. Cam taught Rex one of his favorite tricks at our house. They were pretty funny together.

Packing Up

I snapped a few pics of my little man today.

He was busting out some pretty smooth moves. He was really excited to play on daddy's skateboard.
It was a beautiful, cool, autumn day. We're trying to take advantage of those before they're all gone.

We have less than two weeks left till the big move! Rex helped me with the packing yesterday. Shortly after, I couldn't find my phone. It was gone all day and finally this morning I heard a muffled ring. Apparantly Rex had slipped it into the bottom of the box we had packed up. Whoops! I was pretty relieved to find it.

I wanted to get one last picture of him by our street number.

My Music Man

I wanted to write this one down before I forget it. Rex loves music and lately he does something I get a real kick out of. He points to the stereo so I will turn on the music, then he opens the lazy susan and finds the little jar of sprinkles. The music plays and he dances and uses the sprinkles like maracas. I think it's absolutely adorable. He IS my son.

It's Someone's Birthday....

Today is my little sister's birthday. Happy birthday, Cass!

If you don't know her you are missing out. She is an amazing sister and mother. She is one of the most thoughtful people I know and I am so lucky to have her close by.
I hope your birthday is fabulous, Cass. I love you like crazy!

"Into Everything"

I think each month getting "into everything" means more and more. Rex has discovered things I never noticed in our house. It's crazy. Here are a couple things he's been getting into lately:

1) Yesterday he came into the room with a giant-size Hershey's bar clutched in his hand with a giant bite out of it and chocolate running down his face. He didn't even have the look on his face that says he's in trouble. He thought it was all good.

2) Today he came into the room chewing on my toothbrush. Now, I do share everything with Rex, but this was a little too far for my liking. To add to it, he had just been eating cheese and my brush was orange. Eeeeew! Good thing I have some back-ups. (Thanks, Cass!)

3) He's now figured out how to grunt "uh-uh" while he shakes his head to say "no." He does it very aggressively, so there's no doubt what he means by it.

4) He says, "shoes?" when he wants to go outside.

5) He loves to sit in the washing machine. I let him do it and give it a spin. It's like his own little amusement park.

I had to snap this quick picture of him the other day. You see, Rex is 99% Jeff, but when he does something that's from me I get kind of excited. I love to sit cross-legged when I eat and Rex always does it too. I'm pretty sure he's got me wrapped a little too tightly around his little finger...but look at that face!

November Leaves

Cass and I wanted to get some pics of the boys in the leaves so we went on location (to her backyard, that is) for a little shoot. As you can see here, although Cam has a year and a half on Rex, Rex is gaining on him quickly. You can also see that Cam is very tolerant of Rex.

Here's my little rock star. I chopped off all his Elvis hair, so I thought it was a good time to bring out the beanie.
This is the are-you-really-getting-your-camera-out-again look he gives me. Gotta love it.

Is this the cutest hat on Cam ever or what?

While this picture doesn't represent Cam very well (because he's really very sweet about letting me take pictures) I just loved it anyhow. What a sweet little scowl! He is such a kind, thoughtful little guy.

Well, that's it for now. We'll try and get some of Coop tomorrow.
