Fat and Beautiful.

24 weeks

Last week I was installing our new blinds in the kitchen.  The fam was sitting at the table, watching, eating, and asking questions...the conversation went something like this...

Tyson:  Mama, you look kind of fat. Don't you think Daddy should be doing that work?
Me: Fat? Did you mean to say that I look beautiful and strong?
Tyson: Daddy..does Mommy look fat or beautiful?
Jason (while reading. And doesn't even look up): She looks a little bit of both right now.
Me: (Eyebrow raised and very clearly glaring at Jason and Tyson)

Boys.  After taking this picture Jason did finish installing the blinds. And since then Tyson has taken to giving me hugs, patting my belly and saying.."Mama, today you look beautiful and your belly looks strong."

That boy sure knows how to make me smile.

Two Wheelin'!

He left a boy...

And came back a little bigger..

Tyson wanted to share about how much fun he is having riding his two wheeler bike. At first the challenge was learning how to pedal as he already had the balance down.  He started off on training wheels and while at the park overcame the frustration of having to balance and pedal at the same time. Once he figured out how to make his legs turn he took off..going over the bases in the baseball diamond gleefully.  They were pretty big jumps for his first few minutes of no training wheels!  He loved it.  We try to go out as often as we can. He rides for a long time, up hill, down hills, and he's even gotten really good at avoiding the unpredictable riding of his little sister!

Swimming time!!

Kaiya wanted to tell about her swimming class.  She says that she loves swimming underwater, which at this point in time means that she dunked her head under once. She does everything the teacher asks her to do and is very excited for her next lesson!
