Kangaroo Zoo

Today my friend Jessica and I decided to take the kids to Kangaroo Zoo. I saw this place on another blog and thought it would be fun to check it out.

At first Adalyn was a bit skeptical...

... and not too thrilled with the whole thing.

Then, she saw how much her friend Jonas was enjoying it and couldn't resist.

Somewhere in the middle she decided that this balloon was more fun...

But by the end, she found this...

and couldn't get enough!

All in all it was a fun activity and definitely one we will try again!

Waiting...

2 weeks and 3 days. There are only 2 ways to look at that amount of time: 1) Will it ever end? 2) That's all we have left? As you can see, I am a mixture of emotions! In the meantime...

We wait...

And while we wait, I wonder: How will I do with 2? How much will the life we now know change? Will this change?:

I don't have any doubt that the minute our new little girl is in my arms my fears will be wiped away, but until then...

WE WAIT!

Things You Never Knew You Wanted To Know...

Favorite TV show to watch together? The Office, Intervention, Friends (since we own all 10 seasons)

Lately...

Lately, we have been trying to stay busy with different things. In the process we discovered that Addie is quite the artist. She loves to paint and asks to do it often.

Though sometimes it turns into body painting...

We now have 9am church which we all agree has been so great! We have decided that with kids it is the perfect time for church and makes all of our lives a bit easier! Here is Addie waiting to go!

And we are also preparing for the arrival of baby #2. Though I have had a mile-long list of things to do, because I started so early I have accomplished a lot more than I thought I would. Having a list and crossing things off one at a time has not only helped me to get things done, but it has also relieved the stress I have been feeling about having 2 babies. And the more that gets done, the more excited I am for Baby Day! Yesterday we set up the double stroller... and for a girl who doesn't like being in the stroller, it wasn't easy getting her out!

We are now down to 28 days until the planned arrival of baby girl #2 (though we are aware that she could come much sooner). We are very excited and of course, very nervous. But as my sister-in-laws have all said "Double the kids... double the fun!"

Baby Love

We have been attempting to teach Adalyn that there is actually a baby growing inside my tummy. Although we aren't sure how much she gets it, it has been so cute seeing what she does understand. Every time we ask "Where is your baby sister?" she will either point to my tummy (or hers) or come over and lift my shirt to see my tummy. More recently she was standing next to me and the baby began visibly kicking inside my stomach. Adalyn reached her hand up to my tummy and said "Kicking." We have also been trying to teach her to love the baby by giving hugs and kisses, but the idea was just too much for her. Then yesterday, without prompting, she lifted my shirt and began rubbing my belly. I took the opportunity to say "Addie, can you give the baby kisses?" She leaned over and kissed my tummy. I quickly grabbed the camera!

We are so excited to see how cute she will be with the baby. She will be a great big sister!

Christmas

We had such a fun Christmas this year. Adalyn understood the 'opening presents' idea and it was fun watching her enjoy it all. Here are some pictures of our Christmas weekend...

Christmas Eve/Wayment Party

Adalyn loved the Candy Bar Game. She got right in and picked out all the candy that she wanted.

We have a tradition of opening pajamas on Christmas Eve...

Christmas Morning

Christmas Dinner With the Paynes

Addie was so tired at this point that I spent most of Christmas Dinner on a couch while she slept on me. Devin was so sweet and set up a table for me and waited on me hand and foot.

Christmas Night with the Wayments

Christmas Dress

It was a busy but extremely fun weekend!
