Happy 2nd Birthday Nathan!!

My baby is TWO I swear I was JUST pregnant with him =( 

I already want to cry thinking about what I'm going to say! Sweet boy you are the absolute best best thing that has ever happened to us! You are SO much fun and are constantly making your daddy and I laugh! You are ridiculously smart and surprise us daily with the new words and thing you say. You are the perfect mix of both of us. You are silly, loud and friendly like mommy and you are smart and attentive like your daddy. You have the biggest heart and are great at sharing  and being so sweet and Patient with your friends. You are such a sponge right now and are loving learning new things and asking what everything is! You love to read and sing and have most of your books and favorite songs memorized! You are very excited to be a big brother  and your big brother book is helping you understand what life is going to be like.  You are going to be the best big brother, we can't wait!

You had the best Thomas the train birthday party which I'll post about in a different post but on your actual birthday you celebrated with mommy and daddy (you recently started calling him daddy instead of dada and it's the cutest!) 

It was raining all day(boo!) so it ruined our plans of taking you to ride the train. We started the day off taking you to get your favorite breakfasts tacos and donuts! Then we went and spent hours at toys r us to spend your birthday money and you had the time of your life! Who needs to ride a train when you have toys r us! Then we came home played with your new toys and napped. When you woke up we decorated and baked cupcakes then went to chick fil a for dinner and back home to sing happy birthday! It was very low key but was the best day! 

Here are some comparison pics! 

24 weeks

It's another BOY!!!

Nathan's going to have a baby brother! we could not be more excited, even though we thought for sure it was going to be a girl! I'm so excited that we will have 2 little boys just 2 years apart and i just know they will be the best of friends! I can already picture them sharing a room in the upcoming years =) 

This time around we did the gender reveal a little bit different. With Nathan we found out at the doctors office and then had a little party that we planned for our families to reveal it. This time it was a surprise for us as well! We had our sonogram last week and had the doctor seal it in an envelope and had to wait an entire week without knowing! It somehow wasn't has hard as I thought. Here are some pictures from that morning.

 That weekend we came to San Antonio and gave Kimbee the envelope and she planned the party and surprise! I need to post the video but here are some pictures!

Team girl!!

And team boy!

Halfway there!

I don't know how I am already halfway through this pregnancy but I am! I'm feeling great! Been pretty emotional lately but other then that great! Tomorrow is our 20 week ultrasound and I am super pumped to be able to see our little man for an extended amount of time!! We moved the guest bed out of the guest room and it officially became the new nursery! We picked out the paint color and will have it painted in a few weeks =) 

Big boy room!

We moved you to your big boy room last week!! You are doing SO well! Way better then we could have imagined! We ( mostly mom) were so nervous! We have always rocked you to sleep with milk but lately with you getting so big and my bump getting bigger it has been getting progressively hard. You had been sleeping awful which now we know is because you were just not comfortable in your crib. It was taking up to an hour to get you to sleep at night and you were waking in the middle of the night a few times a week and it would take 2-3 hours to rock you back to sleep ( noooo way!) mommy and daddy were getting very tired! We figured it was going to happen soon anyway since your little brother or sister is going to need your crib soon. Originally we had planned to wait until you tried climbing out of your crib but you never have! Anyway we went shopping for your bed and found the perfect one on sale at pottery barn kids and (duh) planned your room theme around trains! We had NO idea how it was going to go switching from crib to bed and from rocking no not rocking all at the same time, AND cold turkey! We decided a slow process would not be good with how old you are. You are VERY smart and we just knew you would use your cuteness to manipulate us into giving in! Night 1 was obviously very very rough. Mommy lost it halfway through but thankfully the whole "sleep training" process only took about 45 minutes and you were sound asleep! Your new routine is 2 books and 3 songs! Mommy puts you down for nap and daddy puts you to sleep at nighttime. We sing you Thomas the train, Winnie the Pooh, and the eyes of Texas. All your favorite songs that happen to be short so it works perfect! We thought night 2 would be way harder but it went PERFECT. You ran straight to your room to pick your books when we said bedtime and rolled over and went right to sleep. Since then we have not had any tears and actually have to wake you up from your naps. You are sleeping late in the mornings and don't wake up at night! All 3 of us have never had so much sleep =) you are such a big boy and we are so proud of you! Here are some pictures of your new big boy room which you are in love with!! 

This was the first time you saw and climbed on your bed ( think you love it?!) 

Taking your first nap in your bed (which we had to wake you up from after 3 1/2 hours!)

Playing with daddy in the morning =)
