30 weeks & as dumb as ever!


I'm sure you've heard of "pregnancy brain", right? I don't think I suffered from it with Colten, but this baby girl has made me down right stupid. I put the block of cheese in the cabinet, my brush on the toilet paper roll,  and things I meant to keep in the trash. A few weeks ago, I locked Colten and I out of the house TWICE in one week. I walk into rooms of the house with no recollection of why I went in them. I put brownies in the over, set the timer, then turn the oven off. I'm struggling! I had a huge list of dumb things I've done recently in my head, although now that I'm typing them out I can't remember most of them!! Aaah!! I can at least remember to feed, bathe, change, and entertain Colten... thank goodness! I'm starting to wonder if this forgetfulness will increase with each pregnancy? Oh dear, I hope not. Aside from that, things are going very smoothly with baby #2! She is extremely active in there & I have way more back aches than I can remember having with C, but I have been blessed with an easy pregnancy. Less than 2 1/2 months to go sounds insane! A mother of two and a family of four so soon?! It's going to be great :)
 This month has been full of walks, trips to the park, rainy days stuck inside, and babysitting Colten's buddy, Colson. We have had a great time going to his house a couple times a week. Colten loves how spacious their home is, along with tons of never before seen toys to play with!
 First hair cut! He did such a good job & mostly just stared at a crazy looking lady who was getting foil highlights in her hair :)
 We got to go to Bekah Zimmerman's baptism this month & meet her new sister, Kaci! It was great to see family that we haven't seen in a while.

 Colten's new car is pretty awesome.. it makes great sounds.

Colten started walking at 10 1/2 months & completely gave up crawling by 11 months. He seems SO grown up running around the house. He is having fewer accidents each day.. his forehead is almost bruise free! :) Our little monkey will be one in just a few weeks!!
