Chocolate World

 I love chocolate!
 I love my cousin Elaina!
 I really loved the singing cows on the ride....couldn't stop talking about "the cows"!
Riding the ride a second time because once was just not enough!

I've been trying to squeeze a lot in these last few weeks before baby comes.  And what a perfect rainy day to drag my mom, niece Elaina, sis-in-law Renee and her baby girl to Chocolate World!  I hadn't been there since 2005 when Chris and I were dating :)  Not much has changed!  The little ones liked it and it is a free activity....except you get tempted into buying some really good Hershey's chocolate!  So glad to have this quality time with Simon before baby girl arrives!

Happy 1-2 Birthday, Simon!


Can't believe this little boy is 2 years old already!  I've been reminiscing about our birth experience two years ago since we will be adding baby girl in just a week!  Simon took his time coming into the world but now that he is here he certainly wastes no time!  He is a busy little boy and it's tough to imagine loving another baby just as much. 
I've been a FT mom for a year now and have enjoyed spending so much time with Simon.  He is a big helper and loves to help me cook and "stir it up."  He loves to read books, watch Curious George, listen to "Simon songs" in the car, play soccer, basketball and golf and repeat everything we say.  He is a bright kid and is such a fun blessing in our lives!  Happy Birthday, Simon!!!

36 Week Comparison

Can you say large and in charge?!  I feel like a house these days and am so greatful the end is in sight!  The picture below is me at 36 weeks with Simon (two years ago) and the bottom photo was me last week at 36 weeks!  As my doctor says, "Eight and nine pound babies are cute too!"
