Fun on the Deck

We've been enjoying the warm weather and our new deck a lot lately. Bo loves chasing bubbles and throwing his football. He's tried to go down the deck steps head first only a couple of times and only one splinter in his foot (which he didn't even notice). He's not a fan of crawling in the grass (we have to watch out for dog land mines too), but won't walk, so we don't venture into the grass much. I'm looking forward to see how he does at the Easter egg hunts coming up!

Smiling and squinting with the sun in his eyes

That's A Big Belly!

Here is just a comparison between this pregnancy and when I was pregnant with Bo. My stomach seems so huge already! I don't like this stage though because I just look pudgy. 

This is 13 weeks with #2. Yikes!

This was 18 weeks with Bo. 

A Little Off the Top and a Fun Parade

Bo has had quite a bit of hair since he was born and the last few months I have been trimming it around his ears. Recently I tried to do the top, bangs, and back. It didn't turn out horrible, but I knew he needed a real haircut soon. His hair was so puffy and all over the place and his bangs were inching to his eyes. So on Friday David and I took him to David's barber. At first I wanted him to get a haircut just like Daddy's, but I chickened out and he just got a little off the top. Daddy went first and Bo watched the whole thing, then it was his turn. He just sat there and let him cut his hair! Here are some highlights. 

Before the haircut. "I don't know about this." Notice the crazy hair.

"This is kinda fun. I'm up high with a big black blanket on me!"

"Hmmm, is that MY hair?"

"Hey! What are you doing?"

So big!

The after picture. Same haircut, just less hair.

We decided to head downtown to see the St. Patrick's Day Parade because Bo hadn't been to a parade since August and even though he was really little, he liked it last time. These pictures are when we first got up to the parade. He was into people watching until Nana and Papa Bass took him closer to the road. From then on out it was clapping, waving, and dancing. He loved it! His favorites were the floats that had live music. He also got really excited about the Legoland float, but really what boy wouldn't? He also did his fair share of flirting with the ladies standing around him. He is such a ham.

He loved the band with loud drums.

Bo's going to be a what???

Yep, that's right. On about September 22nd Bo will have a brother or sister. I'm about 12 weeks pregnant and have been VERY sick for the past six weeks. I'm finally starting to feel a little better and I'm so glad. Everything has been going well and in about 8 weeks we will find out what we're having. This was sort of a surprise but we did want our kids to be close in age. After it took so long to have Bo we didn't want to wait and then it take another two years. We're so excited! So is Bo - even though you can't tell in the pictures. Thank you Katie Manthe for letting me borrow the backdrop and for editing the pictures. They look great!
