A Day at the Zoo

We took Kade to the zoo today. It was a lot of fun, but it was extremely hot! Kade's favorite thing was riding the train, and his favorite animals are still the monkeys. Here's a picture of him riding the train. He did not want to get off of that train!

Here he is playing in the park at the zoo. Of course he went right for the train toy! We had a very hard time pulling him away from the park as well.

Here he is sliding at the park.

And teeter tottering.

Here Daddy & Kade are standing in front of some snakes. Every time we came to the snakes, Kade would hold his finger up in front of his mouth and say Shhh. I guess he thought we needed to be quiet so the snakes wouldn't get us!

Here are Mommy & Kade in front of our penguin we take a picture with every year. This was towards the end of our day, and you can tell we were very hot, and Kade was not wanting to cooperate for a picture.

Here's the globe that spins around in the water. This is also one of Kade's favorites. He really likes to try and spin it.

Here are Daddy, Kade and our friend Mark in front of the globe. We ran into Mark at the zoo and hadn't seen him since last summer. So it was a nice surprise.

Chocolate Face

Here's what happens when you give a 2 1/2 year old a cup of chocolate pudding! Once he got most of it out, he was sticking his face into the little pudding cup licking it!

He got tired of me taking pictures and said, "Stop Mom. Put the camera away. I mad!"

Kade's New Pets

We decided to let Kade get some fish. He loves to go see fish anywhere, so why not have some at our house? We got 5 red and blue tetra fish. They look pretty much like minnows but are red and blue.

Kade of course is saying cheese during the picture! He's pretty proud of his fish.

You can faintly see some of them in the middle of the tank.

Muscles!

Here are some pictures of Daddy and Kade showing off their muscles. Kade couldn't quite get the hang of it though!

Jumper Jumper

Here are some pictures of Kade playing in the inflatable bounce house at his friend Avery's birthday party.

When we first got there, he didn't want to get into it. But I knew he'd love it if he'd try it.

Once I got him in, I couldn't get him out! He didn't even want to come inside for cake and ice cream. That's unheard of!

Every time he had to get out, he'd immediately start asking me to go get back inside the "jumper jumper"! I thought that was so cute.

He loved it so much that I guess now we'll have to check into renting one for his birthday party!

Daddy's Helper

Here are some pictures of Kade helping Daddy mow the yard. He had so much fun! Jake was actually letting Kade control the arms on the mower, so he could go as fast as he wanted to, with a little help from Dad!

13 Week Checkup

Today I went in for my 13 week checkup. First I saw the nurse. She took my vitals, and everything was fine. I now weigh 127, so I've gained 4 pounds. Then I had to wait for my doctor. Her name is Dr. Stout. I really like her! This was the first time I have met her. She did my exam, fun fun, and then asked me a few questions. She told me that all my blood work had come back well from my last visit, and that I have a blood type of O+. I never knew that before. Then she had me lay back so we could listen to the baby's heart beat. It took her a while to find it. She said the baby was being stubborn! I was kind of starting to worry, but she finally found the heart beat, and it was in the 140's. She said it sounded great. Sounds like a boy to me, but you never know. Kade's heart beat was usually in the 140's at all my checkups with him. I got scheduled back for my next appointment on June 11. I also got to schedule my ultrasound. It is June 19, so we should get to find out the sex of the baby then. I'm real excited about that! I can't wait to go back in a few weeks and hear the heart beat again.

When Mom's Away...The Boys Will Play

So while I'm away at soccer games, this is what Kade and Daddy are doing. I thought these were hilarious!!

My Two Boys

Daddy and Kade being silly before bedtime! I can't believe how big my baby is getting.
