What's Up Wednesday

I am 20 weeks pregnant today. Hard to believe that we will have another little one in October. I have been feeling okay. The baby moves a whole lot and I think some of that movement is making my stomach queasy again.

I have decided that it is harder the second time around when you have a toddler to chase around your house - there are no breaks.

My brother is moving again - this time to Point Pleasant. He is still in training as a Farm Service Agency Loan Officer. Poor boy - third move in a year. Hopefully he can get trained up and get somewhere for longer than a few months. I will be thinking about you while you are moving and getting settled in.

Vivian is starting speech therapy soon. About a month ago we went to her pediatrician because we were concerned that she had stopped using her words (she did not use many) and acted like she could not hear everything. After a month of waiting to get evaluations for hearing and speech, we finally found out that her hearing is fine - she is just delayed in her speech. She is going to have a therapist work with her once a week and I hope that will get her caught back up. Sometimes I think it is just a lack of interest because she obviously understands what we tell her. Needless to say, it has been a somewhat stressful process figuring it all out but I am anxious to get her started with therapy.

Last evening I was hanging out with Vivian while she played with her Little People. She was looking at the mom figure that came with the minivan (for some reason she does not allow the Little People to be in their vehicles) and picked out a farmer figure and put their faces together and made a kissing sound several times. That caught me by surprise and was pretty cute.

Vivian got me a new camera lens for mother's day and I finally got to try it out with her.

Here she is posing in front of the garden. She is working on her eye teeth and chews on everything she can find.

This is Vivo trying to get into the garden (and no, the electric fence is not on). I tried letting her in earlier in the day and the garden needs to grow a bit more before it is ready for Vivian because she just runs through it without paying any attention to what she is stomping on.

Finally she got to pick some buttercups (and eat them). The kid likes flowers.

Until I blog again - which hopefully will be sooner rather than later - take care everyone and enjoy your summer.
