25 Weeks!




Baby is 25 weeks now and according to the internet, at this stage, it weighs about a pound and a half and is about 13.5 inches long. I've definitely felt like it's grown a lot in the last couple of weeks. It's definitely expanding my waistline now and likes to move around at night and in the early mornings. I can't believe the due date feels like it is going to be here in no time. I am trying to keep all my worries in check as we get closer and closer.

We had a great trip to Monterey last weekend. Adam loved the aquarium and the park. It was great to get away for a few days and relax. Then Gran and Granpy came to visit and Adam got to spend lots of fun time with them as well. So, he's had a great week!

I've posted some photos of our weekend in Monterey - you can see my tummy expanding out in some of them. :)

Potty POWER!!!

Last friday, on leap year day, Adam began his first venture into using the potty. He's been successful ever since and as long as we keep him diaper-less, he's happy to go sit on his potty whenever he needs to - which is pretty often! He is very proud to show us what he's done and go through the routine of dumping it in the toilet, flushing, washing his hands, and then most importantly - getting his jelly bean prize! We shout Potty Power and do a little dance together. So cute!

It's pretty exciting for us too since we'd really like to be changing diapers on one child at a time. So, if Adam can be fully potty trained in the next few months, it'll be GREAT!

We're so proud of him and his new venture into being a Big Boy!!! YAY!
