Gameday Gear

I picked up a new OU shirt for Henry while in Norman and we are officially decked out in our gameday gear to cheer on the Sooners.  Boomer!

The only problem is my little Sooner fan only made the first quarter before falling asleep in his highchair....

I'm sure he'll be up and ready to watch Johnny cheer on the Ags against Alabama at 2:30.  And yes, even though Ryan is actually at the game we'll be making an outfit change and wearing maroon :)

Life Lately

I didn't mean to go two weeks without posting but that's what happens when you're 6+ months pregnant with a toddler running around while your husband studies every night for the CPA.  So what's new with us?  Not much honestly.  I do have a few cute pics I want to post and thought I would share a few things going on with us.  I plan on using bullet points so don't get too excited :)

• It's September!  Time for fall, sweaters, football and candy corn.  Now if only the temperature would drop below 100 so we could really get excited about the upcoming season.  
• Henry may not be potty trained but he definitely knows how to flush the toilet, wave his hands and say bye bye as the water goes down.  Mimi taught him that so maybe she'll teach him how to actually use the potty as well??? Wishful thinking on my part... 

• Ryan has officially taken two out of the four tests as part of the CPA.  I can definitely say this seems worse than him being in class since he literally studies every night and several hours every Saturday and Sunday. The plan is for him to take the last test just weeks before the baby should be born so we're crossing our fingers he passes them all!  We're going to need all hands on deck with two kiddos in the house. 
• I am going to Norman, OK next week for work and I'm so excited to be back on campus for a few days.  I'm looking forward to seeing a good friend while I'm there and hitting up some of my favorite stores on Campus Corner.  I'm also on the lookout for a new game day shirt for Henry.  
• I know I've mentioned here before that Henry loves to be outside but I think we've reached a new level.  He is obsessed.  He could care less that it's 100+ degrees outside and he's sweating.  He just loves to be outside.  This makes it a little challenging when you're pregnant with a large belly but we've managed to get out as often as possible.  It may only be a short walk to the mailbox but at least both Henry and Benny are happy :)

• Party planning for Henry's 2nd Bday is officially underway.  I know this fall is going to get crazy so it's never too early to start planning.  We're thinking of doing a firetruck theme.  Anytime Henry hears a siren he puts his finger in the air and waves it in a circle while mimicking the sound of a siren. It seriously is the cutest thing ever.  
• In baby news, Ryan and I have decided on a name and even purchased something with his initial.  We've actually decided to keep it a surprise so sorry for making everyone wait!  
• And lastly, Henry and I wore matching green shirts today.  I couldn't resist getting a quick pic with this cutie before heading out the door.  Love him so!

Have a great rest of the week! Thank goodness it's almost Wednesday :)

IG Picture Dump

While I love using my Nikon to take pictures of Henry I find myself using my phone more often.  I usually have my phone near me to snap a quick pic and then I love posting pictures on Instagram.  This is definitely my favorite form of social media right now as it's so easy to post pictures and I love keeping up with friends this way.

I've posted quite a few this summer (@lrudy) and these are just a few of my favorites recently!

And lastly, a personal fave, seeing this cute boy run to me when I pick him up after work :)

Hope you're having a great week!

24 Weeks

Crazy to think I'm 6 months along!  It seems like it's only been a week since we last took my monthly picture so time definitely is flying by.  There's not much to update this month as everything is going well in the baby department.  I honestly sometimes forget I'm even pregnant until I'm reminded with a sharp kick which seems to be happening much more frequently now.  I've still been feeling great and the only thing I would really complain about is the lack of sleep at night.  I seem to be getting up at least once and sometimes twice during the night to use the bathroom and then I can't ever seem to fall back asleep.  The other complaint I have right now is the heat. I'm so ready for fall and cooler temps!

My belly is definitely growing as shown in the pic below.  I've done a few comparisons to my belly pics from when I was pregnant with Henry and I'd definitely say I am a little bigger this time around at 6 months.  I'm also not crazy about this monthly picture but Henry was screaming because he wasn't getting his way so I only had two options to pick from :).  I also look at this picture and think it's crazy how much my hair has grown.  I used to be able to go 6 weeks before getting a haircut but at the rate it's growing I should be in there at least every 4 weeks!

I had my monthly appointment last week and all is well.  I did the glucose-screening test and drank the "yummy juice" before they did blood work to determine if I have gestational diabetes.  I didn't have any issues with this with Henry so I'm hoping that's the case here.

Thankful for a healthy pregnancy so far.  Can't believe we'll meet this sweet little boy in just a few months!

Wild Man

Just a typical day in our household.... We're all sitting in the living room playing with trucks and legos and the next thing I know a tornado has come through our kitchen...  Our maybe it was a toddler holding a golf club but nearly the same thing.  I snapped a quick pic and then had to go intervene before he had the curtains on the ground :)

Silly Boy

One night this past week Ryan had a work dinner so it was just H Man and I.  I decided to heat him up some spaghetti o's thinking I was keeping it easy.  I should have known Henry would have other plans...

This boy sure is silly and knows how to ham it up when I pull out my camera.  At this point I was considering taking him outside and rinsing him off with a hose...

The next thing I know Henry is laughing and I look over and Benny is licking his spoon.  Dinner is clearly over at this point!  I sent Ryan a quick text letting him know what he was missing :)

I didn't quite get my easy cleanup dinner but I definitely got a good laugh and a few cute pics :)
