Its true! Jake is going to be a big brother! I am 10 weeks pregnant and am due October 19th. Were very excited but nervous at the same time about the idea of juggling two kiddos! I am starting to feel better now. I had a rough first 3 weeks and was very nauseous. Now, I'm just tired all the time and looking forward to more energy. Jake started going to a school at our church two days a week, about a month ago. He seems to be adjusting okay and having fun there. He gets to participate in music class, gym, and chapel. We thought he would enjoy having the interaction with the kiddos and more stimulation of other activities during the day. Recently, his language development really seems to be taking off. He is copying words all the time, not only the inflection, but but also getting the sounds down pretty well. New words include: car, (said like caw), hot, potty, cracker, neigh (horse), and moo (cow). He doesn't say all of them all the time, but will sometimes just surprise us with it. He is a climbing machine right now and loves practicing climbing all over the playground, the couch, the fireplace...you name it, he will climb it. Exhausting!He's also become really skilled at stacking his blocks and building towers with his legos. And he even helps put the legos back in the bag - but, he makes sure to take all the legso apart first before putting them in the bag. (Very methodical, like his daddy.) He is alot to keep up with right now but such a joy.

Fun at River Legacy - Nature Center
Recently, we had a play date at the River Legacy Park - Nature Center. They have a "Nature School" there for kids 3-5 years old where they learn about weather, bugs, trees, and everything having to do with nature. It looks like a blast and I can't wait till Jake is old enough to enjoy it. I know he will just love it. Well, they allow anyone or groups to come in and explore their center. We went there with a group of moms and kiddos and had a great time! Jake enjoyed working on a craft called "leaf rubbings" where we used crayons to run the imprint of different leaves on the paper. He also loved running around the room with big blades of grass, mushrooms, and a giant bumble bee. And he enjoyed the turtles. Most of all, he enjoyed our nature walk outside on the trail where he got to walk around without being in a stroller...independence!
