because.

it's been a really ( REALLY ) long time. and i sort of want to get back into the whole blogging thing. even if i haven't been up to anything super productive (other than raising a child, but you know?).

currently we're at twenty-two weeks with number two. this pregnancy hasn't been entirely different from the first. i feel similar, i haven't gotten HUGE yet and that amazing feeling you get each time you feel the babe move still hasn't faded. but i find myself not focusing on the pregnancy like i did with M. obviously i'm a little busier than i was the first time around but i think i'm going to start dipping back into my pregnancy books again and put the parenting books on the shelf for a while.

but here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately. m is cracking us UP! all day every day. walking around the house, babe in hand, saying "thAnks", giving her little plastic baby baths every night, feeding her at supper time.... it's just too much. but it's a lot of fun.

when i was editing these pictures (and trust me, i planned on posting a lot more) i noticed a bit of a trend in M's life these days. she likes to eat. she loves to paint. and, one that i had taken considerable note of, she likes glasses, which is why we just ordered these.

happy thursday!!! hope everyone has great plans for the weekend...ours will probably involve lots of play outside and around the house.
