Baby # 2

Ok, so I have to admit I have been super bad at updating the blog but also taking pictures of what has been going on the past 6 weeks, so unfortunately I don't have a whole lot to update though it's been awhile.

On Thursday we found out that baby #2 is going to be a boy!!! We are super excited!!! I'm getting out numbered here pretty quickly though. As Jon says, our wallet will really appreciate that it's another boy. Luckily timing wise Brayden was born in Nov. and this little one will hopefully be born in December, so we can pretty much reuse everything!! We have not even discussed names yet. We decided since we had such a hard time last time that we were not even going to talk about names till we found out the sex. Luckily we still have some names that we liked from last time, so hopefully it's a little easier to name # 2. As for myself I have been feeling great. All of my energy has come back, so as of now I can't complain.

We have been super busy down in Indy trying to get into a good routine, but as of yet we are not there. I have been traveling to Chicago at least once a week since we moved, so it's hard for Brayden to get used to everything down here. I was super lucky to be able to stay with my college roommate and her family while in Chicago. A big thank you to the McKenzie family. I had a great time. Even though I was away from Brayden I was able to spend some time with their 6 month old Lilly.

Brayden is finally getting used to daycare, aka "school". As of about 2 weeks ago he no longer cries when we drop him off. He is learning most of the kids names and talks about the teachers at home all the time, so he seems to be adjusting really well. He also seems to be learning a ton there too. I got up with him the other morning and he counted for me from 1 - 10. Pretty good since I thought he only knew to "tree". He will only count for you though when he wants to, otherwise forget about it.

Brayden has also been very vocal about everything lately. He insists that he does everything!!! If he doesn't want you to do it, he says Brayden, Brayden. AKA - let me do it mom. He is also picking up on every last word and phrase that we say. My favorite word that he says lately is awesome!! He doesn't know how and when to use it, he uses it for everything, it's pretty funny.

Here are the few pictures that I have taken over the last few weeks:

Speaking of fish, here is my little fish!

By our house there is a pond with tons of ducks, Brayden loves feeding the ducks. We try to go every night, it's pretty funny as soon as we get close to the pond the ducks start following the stroller because they know we are there to feed them, it's pretty funny.Daddy and Brayden

Jon has been prepping Brayden for the upcoming Colts football season. These was a picture of Peyton Manning in the newspaper, so that is what he is looking at.
