A Look Back At July

If you keep up with my blog you've probably noticed it got taken over by pregnancy stuff.  So, I thought I'd back track a little and post some pictures from this summer!  We definitely stayed hot and busy!

"Week 28" William was in Texarkana with his mimi and grandad.  Gordon and I had a nice date night at Up one night, ate at El Tiempo (my favorite Mexican food place in town!), and I hosted bunco at our house one evening.  Although it was nice to have some time to ourselves I was super happy to have our little guy back home!  I really wanted to spend all the quality time, with just him, that I could before baby girl arrived.  :)

"Week 29" was super busy because we started swim class 4 days a week!  That Friday afternoon William and I went to a super fun birthday party for Eli at The Houstonian.  William showed off his new swims skills and had a blast on the big slide.  I'm sure it was a funny site seeing me and the big belly going down the slide!  That weekend we made a trip to the Woodlands to see LZ's baby boy and to the outlet mall for a little shopping.  My feet hurt so bad by the end of the day.....so, when we got home I headed straight to the nail place for a pedicure.

"Week 30" William continued with his swim classes and had a dentist appointment.  Trying to get a toddler to open their mouth for that long is challenging!  The dentist told us what I'd expected, William is missing some teeth.  At this point, there is nothing we can do about it. They think it's most likely due to his prematurity since there's no family history of missing teeth.  Next year we will have x-rays done to see if he has his adult teeth.  That weekend William and I had the house to ourselves while Gordon was out of town.  We had the best time at the Circus and just hanging out together.  I will say, if we decide to do the circus again I'll spend the money for front row tickets.  Since this was our first time, I didn't know what to expect but I now know that being able to see everything up close would be much cooler.  Regardless, we had fun!  I ate all the cotton candy and William got a cool new truck.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend seems like a lifetime ago for some reason?!?!  Here's a little recap of  "week 21 of 2015".  

We had just gotten back from our annual beach vacation in Rosemary Beach.  I started the week off with a trip into town for a doctors appointment.  My other day off work was spent with this little cutie at the zoo.  It was an extra special trip because the Houston Zoo had just opened the new gorilla exhibit.  They had a week when only zoo members could check things out....so we had to go (before it got crazy busy)!  As always, we had an awesome time.  William thought the gorillas "talking" was funny, we got to see the elephants get a bath, William got sprayed with water by one of the elephants (he thought this was hilarious), and he really took a liking to the fish (I liked the air conditioned room!).

On Friday night we headed to Texarkana for the long weekend.  Although we'd just been with the Gooding side of the family, we decided to make one last trip before baby girl makes her appearance!  Our trips out of town are numbered since AG could come anytime (if she takes after her brother).  We hadn't been to T-town since November, so we were over due for a trip to East Texas.  

We had a fun weekend being lazy!  William loved getting to fish.  He even got over his fear of touching them.  I was shocked to see him grab the first fish he caught!  He even touched the worms they used for bait.  He's becoming such a BOY!  This mama and daddy even made it out to dinner one night with some friends. :)     

It's hard to believe that we'll have 2 kiddos the next time we visit Texarkana!!  I can only imagine how loaded down our car will be when we add a newborn to the mix.  :)
