Sleepy Bear, New Haircut & Shoes, and More!

 I love getting home and finding this sleepy bear
passed out in the back seat.
He's so sweet!
JJ loves to snuggle!
 JJ's getting really good at shooting hoops!
He can use the big ball now and dunk it!
 He loves cheering after he makes a basket.
I didn't realize how much he's grown until
I looked back at the pictures from when we first
got the basketball goal in June.
He struggled to reach to put the little ball in there!
 JJ loves getting into things that he's not supposed:
 JJ got a new haircut and some new shoes!
He did not do as well at this haircut; he cried the whole time!
The first one he cried a little but settled down,
the second one he didn't cry at all,
but this time he was not feeling it.
 Look at my little belly bear posing on the couch!
 JJ really liked sitting in this kid seat at Sam's. 
He felt like he was pushing the cart
and seemed to enjoy the freedom and 
new perspective!

Eating with a Spoon & More!

He got a new chair at Grandma's that he loves to hang out in:
JJ looks like his Mommy's baby pics sitting in the blue car.
JJ loves water and sprinklers!
JJ loves snuggling his Elmo pillow!

Here We Grow Again!

We are expecting our second baby!
I am 13 weeks.
We just went to the doctor and heard the heartbeat
for the first time which was 161.
I am due February 24th.
This was my belly at 12 weeks with JJ:
 It's really hard to include everyone in the belly pics now!
They wouldn't cooperate at the same time so I got
one with Violet and one with JJ separately!
 JJ's going to be a big brother!
I'm not sure why we chose the clock as our backdrop 
when I was pregnant with JJ, 
but we're going to stick with tradition!

Nephew Milestones

Our nephew Ben is one month old!
 Alex is one year old!
My brother made this neat chalkboard for Alex's party.
I looked backed at JJ's baby book and found out
that JJ and Alex were the exact same
weight and length at 12 months!
Happy Birthday Alex!
