The new adventures of adam and bean!

Well Adam is crawling everywhere! He figured out how to crawl the right way on christmas day. He couldn't get to dad's new toy and finally figured it out. For two days afterwards he had bruised knees and didn't want do anything. On january 3rd he figured out how to pull himself up on furniture so he has been doing that too. he also crawls over laundry baskets and will try and walk to people if you hold his hands. Although for the last week he has been shuffling around holding on to the furniture. :O

Bean is getting big right on schedule. I have an appointment on the 17th to see what we are having although I'm pretty sure its a girl. :D Adam LOVED hearing his siblings heartbeat and loves to point at the ultrasound picture on the fridge. Here is a picture of me at 19 weeks! Adam has decided that he hates the baby seat for the store carts and loves to cart surf in the actual cart!

It has been so fun being his mom these last few weeks as he figures out new things.

I am almost finished with school for this year. Once this set of classes is over I am taking an indefinite leave of absence from school. By the time the new baby is 6 months old it will be Christmas so the soonest I'll go back to school is next January so we'll see how it goes then.

Aaron is starting vocational rehabilitation from the VA basically they will be finding him the perfect job for what he likes and what will work for his disabilities! He is so excited. They will most likely send him to school for 48 months so that he can get a degree that will help him with work, if they do that they will pay he money to go to school plus medical and dental. Due to his memory problems he can't work and do school at the same time, it causes him too much stress and he can't retain enough information to do well in his classes. Wish us luck with the new changes that are coming this year!

Adam and Bean!

Well its been a really busy few months.

Adam is now crawling and getting into everything. It is more like and inch worm low-crawling in the floor but he is a fast little tyke. He has decided that he no longer wants to be held he wants to be on the floor where ever we are seeing how things works. Another of his great loves at the moment is mom and dads food doesn't matter what we are eating he wants it too. in fact I had just fed him when he was Aaron eating a salad with a pork fillet and garlic rice and he started screaming until he got some of the rice to eat too. It has made meal times that much more interesting.

Still no teeth but I have hopes that one will show up before he turns 1. I know I shouldn't compare him to other babies but sometimes I can't help it. All of my friends and families new babies (which are YOUNGER! than Adam) have teeth already and while I know he is perfectly normal I can't help but wonder if something is wrong that is making it hard for his teeth to come through. He is also the smallest one out of the group and sometimes I wonder if it is because he was early and had some breathing problems. Then I remember that Aaron was a small baby and Adam is a lot bigger than he was at this age. He is just normal not too big or too small. He is really long though he was 26 inches 2 months ago at his 6 month check-up. so I have a long skinny baby! I should have made him a string bean for halloween instead of a monkey. :D

The new baby is growing fast and other than being sore around my stomach I have been feeling great. Aaron and I have decided to nickname this baby Bean because Adam was a peanut and this one looks like a bean in my first ultrasound.

I went to the Dr on the 18th only to find out I was barely 2 months pregnant so I went again yesterday and WOW! the baby is huge comapred to how big is was 4 weeks ago. I forgot how quickly they grow. My offical due date is JULY 7, 2011! I am so excited if I have this one early too I could have a 4th of July baby or even add to the birthdays on the 1st of july in my family!

Well so far so goo I am not showing yet but I definetly can tell that I am pregnant I hate jeans around my stomach and I love to sleep again. Adam is a joy to watch grow right before my eyes, and speaking of that joy I need to go see what he is growling at. Keep you updated as I get farther along I hope to post some new pics of Adam and Bean soon.
