22 Weeks Preggers

I am now 22 weeks pregnant - whew! On one hand, I can't believe how fast time is flying and on the other hand, I can't believe how much MORE I have to go and GROW!!!

If you haven't heard, we've given baby # 2 a name...no, not froggy like Cullen first mentioned, but we've chosen Connor. My pregnancies have had a few similarities, but my boys' personalities are definitely different. I can't wait to see what is in store for Ryan and I as they grow up together.

The picture below is from today - 22 weeks preggers with CONNOR.



The picture below was taken at 22 weeks preggers with CULLEN.


The picture on the left was taken at 18 weeks preggers with CULLEN and the picture on the right was taken at 18 weeks preggers with CONNOR. My how fast the 2nd baby pops out!

Happy 2nd birthday Cullen!

Can you believe it? Two years old. We now officially have a toddler...or as Cullen calls himself, a tobbler. These past 2 years have flown by with pure joy, excitement, love and obviously learning obstacles ;) The whole terrible two thing is on it's way out (we hope) as they are far and few between (knock on wood).

Now that Cullen can communicate with us with a dictionary full of words and sentences, it seems a little easier. He loves pointing out everything he knows and sees. He loves to ask the main question "What's that?" over and over and over and over....in which we answer over and over again. Sometimes instead of repeating our answer, we ask him in return, "What's that?" It's pretty funny to see his reaction...he looks at us like, "Wait, that's my question." But then answers us with joy.

Here are pics from his birthday party.

Cullen is so excited - Daddy drew lot's of cars for all the kiddos to color

Tower of cupcakes! My mom gave me this as a birthday present - it came just in time to use it for Cullen's birthday! I was very excited to use it! Cullen specifically requested cupcakes this year.

Grammy reading to her grandkids

The kids really enjoyed Grammy reading bedtime stories at Christmas time - Jackson was a big help at showing Cullen where things were in the book.
