July update...

Well it's definitely summer and boy is it HOT in Texas! We've had a solid week of 100+ temperatures and as much as I hate to say it, I sometimes wish summer was over already! See...the heat is getting to me! :)

Jaxon turns 2 next week and I just can't believe how much he's grown! I've had a blast with him this summer. His speech has really taken off in the last few weeks and it's so exciting to hear all the new words everyday. Sometimes at night when he's trying to fall asleep I'll hear him talking in his room. He has conversations with invisible mama and daddy and counts like "Count Von Count" on Sesame Street too (1 ah,ah,ah....2 ah,ah,ah! It's hilarious!) When he's awake he talks even more, labeling all kinds of things in the house and trying to imitate whatever we are talking about.

Even though it's very hot here, he still loves to go "Ow-side!" (outside- but when he says it, its like the samurai shouting "Bonzai!" It's hilarious!) He really loves playing in the pool (both the "real pool" and the kiddie pool in the backyard.) He also loves to get dirty playing in the sandbox, swinging in his swing and pushing anything he can get his hands on back and forth on the deck. He's too funny!

The pregnancy is going along pretty well. I definitely feel like I'm carrying her differently than I did with Jax, but I'm feeling pretty good. Of course, I feel as if I look like a buffalo but otherwise it's good! To think I was worried earlier because I didn't feel like I was showing or gaining enough! Ha ha! Anyway, we can't wait for our little girl and I just know that Jaxon will be a great big brother! :) S
