randoms from the last week

29 week pict from last friday night after Amanda's birthday celebration.

Meredith and Burke playing in the sand box at Mimi's house over the weekend.

Tuesday night Paul's friend Lucas and his wife Jill came over for dinner.  We hadn't seen them in almost 2 years.  Burke meet 2 new friends Ruby 20 months and her new baby sister Rylee 3 weeks old.  It was nice to catch up with them!

Burke being silly laying on top of the couch watching cartoons.  Cutest smile ever!!

3rd Trimester

We're in the 3rd trimester now almost 29 weeks!  Besides waking up alot and not sleeping well things are still going really good.  Now I'll be going to the doctor every 2 weeks now.  My belly is measuring about a week ahead of schedule and I've gained about 12 pounds so far.  It's hard to believe how much more my belly will be expanding over the next 2 1/2 months. 

fun weekend!

Saturday I took Burke to a mommy and me gymnastics class.  He was a bit timid at first but ended up loving it!  It's a 30 minute class where the run, jump, skip around the circle then do summer sults, the crab walk, and wheel barrow then practice on the bars followed up by jumping on the trampoline.  What kid wouldn't love that :)  We're going to try to fit a 6 week session in before baby brother comes along!

Mimi and Papa stopped by in the afternoon and Burke went on a little motorcyle ride. 

He was smiling so big!

We finished out the weekend by having all the Penziol's plus my parents over for pizza and smores!  It was so nice to have everyone together.  We spent the evening outside while all the kids played and relaxed by the fire.  (Here's a pict of Burke eating his smore!  I wasn't sure if everyone else would want their pictures posted) 

4th of July Parade

Sunday we went to the LP Parade.  It was a really hot day; luckily we were in the shade.  Burke had fun!  He loved seeing all of the fire and military trucks and tractors.  He got really excited about the horses.  He mostly sat in the wagon until he saw they were giving out candy :)  Then he moved closer to Nolan and Meredith by the street so he could get some too!  Hard to believe next year we'll be taking 2 kids to the parade!!

waiving to the guy that he gets french fries from!

After the parade we went back to my parents house to celebrate Nolan's 5th Birthday (which is 7/11)

2 yr check up

Yesterday Burke had his 2 year check up.  Dr. Moustafa said he's at a 3 year old level !!!   He's such a talker and constantly suprises us.  He recently learned his shapes; he can say them and point to them.  He's known his colors, and body parts for a couple months now.  Our guess is that he knows a couple hundred words and he's suppose to know 50 :)  He loves to read books, do puzzles and  flash cards.  Were so proud of him!!  Burke wants to spend all of his time outside hitting golf balls, playing baseball or riding his bike.  (he's been peddling on his own for about 2 months now).
Stats:  weight: 28.4lbs 52%  height: 34 1/4 in 43%  and his head is in th 90% to hold of those brains!!
 This video was taken yesterday.  He said he wanted to play baseball outside.
