I am finally making it back here where I've had the intention of posting for the past month! We have been in our new house for just about three months now! We finally painted and hung pictures in one of the living rooms but have yet to decorate the rest of the house! Alas! However I am very proud to say that we have dug up a good area for our garden plot! Yes, dug, as in we used a shovel and a ho and one of those things that turns the soil. A hand tiller? It was hard work but fun work! Beckham and the Day Care kids played in the backyard in the sun and picnicked on a blanket in the grass while I worked on the garden! Jeremy helped after work. Now we just have to mix in some things to make our soil a bit more rich and then begin planting! I'm especially excited about the corn, kale, spinach, squash (we love barbecuing squash in the summer!) and strawberries OH and the cherry tomatoes. I've always hated cherry tomatoes but last year a friend planted some Sun Gold cherry tomatoes and oh my heck! They were to die for! Pictures coming soon on the Garden!
Beckham is 14 months and 3 weeks old! He started walking just in these last two weeks! He's really cruising now! It's so fun to watch him try to keep his balance! He sticks his bum out and walks real fast till he finally falls over! For the most part he can cruise all over the house but he still falls sometimes. He loves any kind of furry animal right now, he is always doing sign language for "Dog" when he sees any kind of furry animal. Its really cute! He is now signing: Grandpa, Dog, Please, More, Food, Banana, and a few others. He says please for everything, It's precious!
We can't believe this second pregnancy is already half way through! On April Fourth we found out we are indeed having another Little Boy! I totally had a feeling it would be a boy! In fact I've been telling Jeremy the gender order of our children for a while now and I think he's finally starting to believe me! For a while now I've thought we would have our kids in this order: Boy, Boy, Girl, Boy. We're half way there! We'll see if I'm right about the rest of our little babes!
Some have made comments to us like, "oh...ANOTHER boy" and I know that it would seem more exciting momentarily to find out we were having a girl, and that it would be something completely new; pink, bows, precious dresses and leg warmers! But I am SO excited to meet this child! He is my son, and he is the only one of him that there will ever be! He will be another boy, but he will be a different boy. And getting a feel for his spirit kicking and tumbling inside of me gets me so excited to meet him face to face, bosom to bosom! I'm so looking forward to another BABY, a warm, fragile bundle that yawns, coo's and cries innocently rather than manipulatively! Poopy diapers that don't stink! I'm a little bit worried about what this ones sleeping habits will look like because Beckham insisted on being nursed to sleep and once asleep I had to stay in bed with him to keep him asleep. Even in the hospital, he didn't go into "recovery sleep" like the nurses said he probably would. He woke every hour wanting to be nursed! But I have more experience now and will be busier and wont be able to nap with this baby every two hours so I'm sure we will all adapt! That's what this parenting thing is all about, right? So excited to meet our son, can't believe August 24th is just a summer away!

Personally, I've always found these 3D pics a little creepy, but he's just so cute I had to post it! Love that nose!
