20 Weeks

Went to the doctor this past Monday for my 20-week. I had gained 2.5 lbs and baby's heartbeat was 144bpm. We go back on St. Patty's day for our ultrasound - can't wait! Ethan's been really cute these days, whenever he sees my bare belly, he tells me he wants to kiss the 'baby belly' (although the other day he told me I had fur on my belly?! - CRACKED ME UP!!). Hopefully he'll be as loving to his future brother/sister with the kisses!!

Here are some pictures of Ethan. Last weekend we went to visit the Hughes side. Ethan had a lot of fun with Grandma and Grandpa Dennis. He ran around playing 'tag' and got lots of tickles in.

Grandpa Rochford brought over some karate pads, that Ethan took his shot at punching and kicking. I was mighty impressed with how high he could kick with good form. :-)

I swear this kid just talks more grown up every day.

*He now tells us red means 'stop' and green means 'go' when we're sitting at stoplights.

*He used the term 'ridiculous' the other day. Which I think he's heard from me at times when he's not exactly acting like a nice little boy.

*He told me this morning that he likes to smell chocolate pudding and chocolate milk and they're 'licious' (delicious).

*I brought home a teddy bear that I got from a friend's baby shower and some of his comments were. "I love my teddy bear, he's my friend", "My teddy bear is sweet", "My teddy bears is happy, he's not crying"

*He has also turned on the manners lately without prompting. He will say, 'thank you, mama' most of the time when i get him something. We still work on 'please' when asking for something, but i'm pretty impressed!

*He also likes to get down from the table during meals and give me a kiss. Who can resist THAT!!
