First Movie

June 26, 2011 · By Kristin Smith · Leave a Comment

We took B to see his first movie on the big screen today, he did great! Cars 2 came out this weekend and since he’s such a big fan of McQueen and Mater, we decided it would be a great first movie for him.

He was SO excited.. especially when he saw the bucket of popcorn that Adam ordered for them to split. About halfway through the movie, he decided he was done sharing and kept pushing Adam’s hand out of the bucket.. and if Adam managed to snag a few measly pieces, B pried them out of his hand and ate them himself. He is so his fathers son!

He did really great until about 3/4 of the way through the movie. The movie wasn’t really aimed at the pre-school audience, so I was surprised he made it that long. He crawled up into my (barely existant) lap and snuggled with me for the rest of the movie. When I asked him if he wanted to go back, we got a VERY excited yes, with a squeal.. looks like we have a new rainy/hot day activity!

37 Weeks!

I can’t believe we’re getting so close!

For the baby update – I’m GBS negative, so yay for no IV during labor! Baby Noni is head down and ready to go, Dr. Greenwald told me when to call if I go into labor and if not, they’ll see me back on Tuesday.

When she was feeling on my belly, she had a kind of concerned look and then asked how big my son was at birth (9.5 lbs), she then said “yeah, this is a really decent sized kid, lets get you in for an ultrasound next week to check her weight, just to be sure we’re not looking at a 10+ pound baby on your due date”. Sooo.. yeah, that could be fun.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Braden!!

June 24, 2011 · By Kristin Smith · Leave a Comment

I can’t believe my baby is 3. I’m sure I’ll say this every year, but I can’t believe how fast he is growing up. He’s changed so much in the last year and his little personality has come out SO much. B is just this amazing little person with his own thoughts and opinions. I can’t wait to find out more about what is going on in that cute little head of his.

Like the last 2 years, I couldn’t bring myself to make Braden go to school on his birthday, so I took the day off and invited a few of his little friends over for his annual birthday playdate. Unfortunately, Jack couldn’t make it this year, but Aiden and Christopher were here, along with Christophers new baby brother, Alex.

I can’t believe how much these guys have grown in the last year. Their baby faces are gone and they look like little boys!

After B’s buddies left, he took a LONG nap, then woke up in time for his favorite dinner – pizza! My parents and Uncle D came over, then we sang happy birthday and had cupcakes! His face in this first one cracks me up. He loves it when you sing the birthday song to him and he gets this little shy grin. It’s adorable.

Braden actually made us sing to him three times, we had to relight the candles and do the whole song and dance again. I love seeing him so happy.

I love my little family
