Spring is here. Grass is growing, flowers are blossoming, trees are turning green! I love it. Spring is my favorite season. I am especially enjoying this one because as everything flourishes and comes to life around me, I am growing too! My belly is expanding as my new baby is growing. I am at 24 weeks already. I feel so good and full of energy (not how things started for this pregnancy). Baby is 1 1/2 pounds by now. I can feel him move and kick every day. It is happening so fast. We are pulling all our baby stuff out of storage. The baby's room is looking like a, well, baby's room! Lia is very excited and talks about the baby all the time. She asks if I'm eating good food for the baby. She asks if I need to rest for the baby. She talks about the baby in her tummy and how she is taking good care of her (ummm)! She likes the idea of being a big sister. She likes the idea of teaching the baby how to do things like talk and eat. So sweet.
Lia is growing and thriving too. She loves school and her friends. She loves to learn and approaches new projects and situations with interest and enthusiasm. She is very independent and loves to 'do it herself'! She is giving up her afternoon nap (arg). She talks all the time. She laughs all the time.
She says some pretty cute things now. Scissors are 'cutters'. Oatmeal is 'opameal'. Potato is 'tabobo'. When she is ready to eat she says her 'tummy is hungry'. Burgers are 'boogers'.
Paul and Lia have a lot of fun together. They go for bike rides. She helps him in the garage. He races her around the backyard in the wheelbarrel. They enjoy storytime. Tickling Daddy might be one of the funnest things ever.
We are enjoying our family. Enjoying our new house. Enjoying spring. And we are looking forward to the new changes that are coming up. We hope you are all doing well too!
