Requested Belly Pictures & Updates

I had a friend ask for these - here they are...

The first one is today (17 weeks, 5 days)

The second is from roughly this time w/ Keaton (the caption says 17 weeks, 3 days)



-------------
Keaton news - he seems to be feeling much better. He is not at all as congested as he was this time last week (I, on the other hand, am sneezing my head off, haha!) I think his ears are still bothering him as he'll still hold them when he's playing. We're pretty much done with baby food (thank goodness!) since he scream bloody murder when I try to make him eat it and as soon as he has whatever I'm eating, he's the happiest little baby! ...what do I want? A happy baby - eat my food! :)

Keaton is into everything and something got into his head and he is actually listening when we tell him "no" ...I'm going to enjoy that while it lasts!

Two funny stories - probably only to me, but they make the long days go quicker :)

1 - Yesterday morning, Zach brought Keaton to me so he could finish getting ready for work. Keaton went through his usual, "snuggle, no! PLAY! Wait, no snuggle! NO PLAY!!!" routine and it my sleep-deprived state, I was getting a little frustrated...I looked at him and said, "Keaton!" and he grabbed my lips with his hand and gave me a big slobbery baby kiss. I just busted out laughing. Totally made the rest of the day better!

2 - Keaton's doing awesome with his walking. I'm just simply amazed at him. When he first started, he had to use his arms to balance and he looked like a Zombie. It was rather hilarious. Now, he has his hands full of toys when he's walking! But something he's started doing as of late - He'll kind of flap his arms, like a bird while he's walking. I've tried to get it on video, but no such luck. He'll just walk around and around, flap, flap, flap! It's SO funny!

Baby Jones news - I'm pretty much feeling the baby all the time. I knew I'd feel "baby" earlier this time, but I was really surprised when it was around 14 weeks! The first movements were after I scarfed down a bag of Skittles ;-) We find out Friday morning at 9am who is residing within me!!!! We're super excited :) We'll keep you posted - don't worry! :)
