Speaking of those little ones, they are growing so fast. Anna-Kate will be FOUR next month. FOUR YEARS OLD! How did this even happen?? She is still a fun and spunky little gal. She has been enjoying her summer doing things like tubing the river with her daddy, swimming at her friends house, traveling to see her grandparents and getting ready to be a big sister again. She is already so in love with her little brother. She can't wait for him to come out. A month ago I told her we were going to the doctor to see Hudson on the screen and she said, "the doctor is going to get him out?". Awww. Then the other day we were at my parents house and there was a baby crying in another room (my mom's niece, she watches her during the day) and she said, "HUDSON'S HERE??!!!". It was so precious. She can't wait to meet him and I'm really enjoying getting to watch her excitement now that she's old enough to understand what's going on. I hope her love for him continues even after he gets here and requires more of mommy :).
Little Issy is growing so big and so smart. She is a lot like her sister and yet sooo very different. It's so amazing to see this in my children. I don't know why, it just is. She is talking a lot more. Says things like "bup" for up, "beempy" for binky, "beh bump" for fist bump (yes, my husband taught her to fist bump :)), "wof" or something along the lines of that for watch, "tay ba" for take a bath and so much more. I love seeing her learn. It's precious. She enjoys climbing. I often catch her on their toddler table playing with their little tv they have for learning videos or on the coffee table saying "WOF!" as she jumps onto the couch. She's a risk taker...even though she knows her little leg will get swat for being on the table she does it anyways. And sometimes it's just too cute! She is very very strong willed. I thought AK was...noooo she had/has nothing on Isabelle. This girl wants what she wants and she wants it NOW! And if she doesn't get it you are going to know how she feels. Little fit thrower, that one. Even with her strong personality she is still so funny and cute. We laugh at her everyday. OH and she LOVES shoes. I have never seen such a thing. I change her shoes up to three times a day. First thing in the morning after her diaper change she goes to the shoe basket, picks out the pair she wants and brings them to me to put on. Then maybe later she'll find another pair she'd rather wear and insists I change them. It's so funny.
And to our boy. He's growing. And I do mean GROWING. I am 23 weeks and feel like I'm going to explode some days. I can already feel him right under my sternum. He moves a lot and makes me smile :). And here's a little comparison below...me at 23 weeks with him and me at 24 weeks with Issy. See what I mean. Big boy!
