some more bike riding

Mason's new balance bike came in. Of course it is red. His favorite color. I really don't know how that happened, but he LOVES red. If he can't have red he'll take pink.



Mason is getting really good at lifting his feet up. The other day he even rode his bike around the block. He doesn't like going down hill but he gets going on the flat parts!



My maniac Ryder. Check out his wheelie.

sleepy boy

Early one evening Mason fell asleep on the edge of our bed while watching a movie. He's been phasing out of naps so if he goes a few days without napping he gets super tired. It was still pretty light out so I grabbed my camera. I don't think I'll have many more opportunities to capture him peacefully sleeping like that.

belly comparisons

Just for fun here's the belly comparison for all 3 of my babies.

Here comes trouble

Soon there will be two big brothers!

I haven't mentioned anything here yet, but since just about everyone IRL knows figured I do a little post. Today marks 20 weeks with 3.0, Due Dec 5. I'm feeling pretty good and honestly don't have time to be tired!

Last night we had our 20 week ultrasound. I hadn't been feeling much movement like I did with the boys so I was a little nervous but the flickering heartbeat popped right up and we got to see our bouncing baby. Found out that I have an anterior placenta so that could be why I haven't been feeling the little flutters. Hopefully in a few more weeks I'll start feeling kicks. I have my OB appointment on Friday so they'll go over the details of the ultrasound then. Everything looked great to us though. 10 little fingers and 10 little toes. Perfect! Once again we're not finding out the sex of the baby. We enjoyed finding out with the boys in the delivery room and couldn't imagine it any other way. The tech was amazing. I think we've had her before because she looked familiar. She has two kids who are a similar age gap as ours (just a little bit younger) and we found out at the end she's also expecting her third, a week after our due date.

So here you go, our little one. Can you see the baby sucking his/her thumb in the first one?



I've been taking some occasional belly pictures. I'll have to dig up some comparison photos from the boys.

I did these just for fun around 14 weeks.



First belly picture at 15 weeks. Showing much sooner with 3.0! Next to it is 17 week belly picture.



And here are some 20 week ones from last night.

little fish

Last year Mason wanted nothing to do with the water. He would sit on the top step of the pool and just play with his pool toys. He had a blast, but if I tried to take him into the water he was petrified! This year it is the exact opposite. While he's not as fearless as his little brother he loves to swim around with his puddle jumper. The little guy on the other hand will just jump in the water and swim over to the jet so it will move him to the deep end. He's such a nut!

Early Morning Play

We went out much earlier than we normally do to play at the sandbox, and of course grab some photos. We played in the sandbox, at the swing set and finally the driveway with some bubbles all before 8am.



my favorite bubble picture! Doesn't that look so cool!?
