Big Boy

I am so impressed with my kiddo today. He had his second dentist visit this morning. Freaked out a little at his first one 6 months ago. This time was amazing! He was still a little hesitant, but as long as they let him stand up while they were looking at his teeth he was a champ! The hygienist there was amazing at keeping him calm and talking to him and she let him pick his toothbrush. Then when the Dentist came he opened wide up and said AAAAAA! Not a fuss or a whimper! We had a celebration lunch at Red Robin where he and I shared a cheeseburger and a chocolate shake.

Today as we were going to get the mail, what comes down our street but a HUGE fire truck. You know the kind that have a driver at the end? We live at the end of a street so I didn’t think they would come our way, but when the driver saw us he headed on down the street. I think they are training drivers or practicing driving that big fire engine because I have seen them around practicing before. Plus it is all shiny and new. Anyway, he comes right down our street and turned around. Waved at Johnny and the guys on the back waved too. He was dumbfounded, but waved at them too. As soon as we got in the house he went and took out all of his fire engines and played with them for quite a while. So cute!

The past week has been a ton of fun. It started with a trip to a museum called Scientopia with some friends of ours. They have a little girl the same age as Johnny and the two of them had a ton of fun exploring and playing at the museum in Napa.
Jake came home form his second trip of the year on Monday. On Tuesday, because I have no patience, we went to a place called A Little Insight and had an ultrasound done to see what the sex of the baby is.

There we go, another boy! Johnny will be a great big brother. Now to come up with a name.... We are still stumped on that one so far. I feel the baby wiggle now and get a firm punch or kick every now and again, but not so much that anyone else can feel him. The belly has officially popped out and the quest to look good in maternity clothes has begun. Johnny has noticed as well and will tell me that there is a baby in there.

Jake left for a trip on Friday and has yet to make it over the Atlantic Ocean so this will probably be a long one but he should be home by his birthday which we will be sharing with our friends, The Pooles. I am really looking forward to their visit. The past few days have been amazing in the weather department. We have been taking advantage of them by going to the park every day and cracking out the back yard toys. We had a Superbowl party yesterday and the kiddos had a blast playing outside in the sunshine. As for today, after naptime, we will be going on a nice long walk with a park trip at the end. Sigh...what a life!
