Bowling with Taylor

It was my friend, Cher's, birthday on Friday, so we went bowling with her and a bunch of her family and friends. We thought it would be fun to introduce Taylor to it, and boy did he love it. He had such a blast. We had them put up the bumpers(which helped out more than just Taylor, I must say), and we went crazy. They even had little bowling shoes his size, so cute.  Taylor mostly just dropped the ball, sometimes it would slowly travel down the lane. Most of the time, we just pushed it after he dropped it. He even got a strike once when Justin did that. I think he bowled a 47. I actually bowled a 120, I haven't broken a hundred since I was a kid. That's why I say the bumpers helped out more than just Taylor. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, I think we'll do it again sometime.

New Year's Eve

We went to our friend's house to dance and party the night away on New Year's Eve. We had fun dancing and watching the kids get down with their bad selves. It was a blast and we stayed up until 1:30, when we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore. Actually, I fell asleep a little after 11 until about 5 minutes until midnight. I'm seriously not a night owl anymore, it's pretty sad. Taylor even stayed up till 11, when he finally zonked. And he's 2! Man, am I lame.

Midnight with our sparkling cider, and a wonderful shot of my nostrils;)

Taylor dancing the night away, doesn't it look like he's playing air guitar? He's quite the dancer, if I do say so myself.

My first pregnancy pic at 18 weeks. I've heard that you start showing earlier with you second and subsequent children. I don't really remember when I started to show with Taylor, so I really don't know if that is true. Anyway, I swear I'm getting bigger every day, and I'm not sick anymore, thank goodness. And poor Taylor is going to start getting mad at me because he won't be able to climb all over me any more. It's kind of hard to teach a kid who's used to rough housing with his dad to be more gentle with his mom.

The Aftermath

Taylor playing with his new toy from Grandma and Grandpa.

He loves this toy, a lot.

He also loves the box that it came in. He played in it as much as he played with the toy. Such a silly kid. And such a ham.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and fun Christmas!

Boxing Day at my Aunt and Uncle's house. Every year they display all their nativities, I think they have 300, possibly more, and have an open house where people come and eat and wander. It's a fun tradition. No, my family is not Canadian, but my Aunt is, so this has been something they've done for as long as I can remember. Anyway, they have these really cute guys that dance and play Jingle Bells together, and Taylor was really getting into it. He loved to dance to the music. 

Almost over

The morning sickness is going away, I am feeling so much better lately, well, other than the weariness. But I expect that to stick around for awhile. So, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, which I was a little bit scared would never happen. I've heard of women being sick until the very bitter end, and that worried me of course. But it looks like this is going to be a pretty typical pregnancy. I'm even getting my second cold sore, I've read that if you are prone to getting them, you may get them often. And this is often. I haven't had one in a few years. So, sixteen weeks tomorrow, and I will find out what I'm having in four weeks exactly from tomorrow. Yeah!!! And my baby will be the size of a pickle, according to a chart that I looked at the other day. I'll try and post pictures of my baby bump. It's not very big yet, but it is poking out a little.

I loved it

I went with friends to see Twilight last night, and guess what? I loved it!!! I love Robert Pattinson, he was such a good Edward. The only part that I just couldn't take was when he first caught Bella's scent. The reaction was just so cheesy, I couldn't take it. We all laughed pretty hard. But then I thought, what if I just smelled something that would make me want to kill somebody. I'd probably hold my hand over my nose too. And then she smelled her hair! That was so funny. I was hysterical. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, and I definitely want to see it again. Plus, I'm excited for the next ones to come out, I just can't get enough! I'm already thinking about rereading the first book now. That's all, loved it! Go see it, just to see for yourself.
