Waiting

I have never claimed to be a patient person and waiting for this baby to come has taken it's tole on my limited amounts of patience. Thankfully I do have some self control and Curtis is a pretty good kid. But I decided that I needed something to distract me for a while. So with the encouragement of a good friend I put a quilt top together. Thankfully it was fairly simple and small and I got it done in an afternoon/evening. The other great thing was that I got to use fabric that I had on hand. I'm also lucky that my good friend is picking up the back and front today and is going to quilt it for me! I love friends!

 This little monkey doesn't like to smile for the camera anymore he just wants to take pictures.

For those who are wondering when this little girl is going to get here: I have an apt with my OB this morning and we will be discussing induction! She should be here before the weekend is over.

Mommy & Me

After a little nudge from a RS lesson I decided that I needed to find more things to do with Curtis. Sure, he's great at playing by himself, but I wanted to have more interaction with him. So on the hunt I went. I've found a few things and will hopefully find some more, but here's what we've been up to.

We made finger paints

Then got Curtis prepped with is apron. Doesn't he look excited!

That's a little better.

Then we were ready to paint on the table covered with freezer paper. Freezer paper is great b/c the back has a plastic coating so the paint doesn't seep through!

Curtis liked it for a little while, but he really didn't like having his fingers dirty.

So we got out the crayons and moved to the other end of the table.

I drew at his direction and he drove his cars.

A few days later Curtis found my molecule building set. It may not have proven useful in Intro Chemistry in college, but Curtis sure loved it!

"I see you!"

Anyhow, we'll see what the next couple of weeks bring, but I hope to be able to do some more fun things with Curtis before his little world gets turned upside down. And any suggestions are most definitely welcome.

New Look

I thought a pink background would be a good way to prepare to introduce our new little addition. She's not here yet and hopefully won't be for another 2 weeks. I at least need to get through all I have going on this week and then she can come whenever she wants. :)
