Jack’s Birthday Party

The Saturday of Easter weekend we went to the All Aboard Cafe to celebrate his cousin Jack’s 3rd birthday.  It is a brilliant concept, a whole restaurant about trains! All of the kids sit at the counter and a little train drives around and brings them their food. Elijah was fascinated! He actually sat in this chair all by himself.

ZB2 Ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound this past weekend for Zimmerbaby #2. Technically I was 22 weeks. Aaron and his mom Janet came along. While waiting in the waiting room we considered a last minute change of mind on finding out the sex, but decided to keep it a surprise in the end. There are 10 fingers and 10 toes, so we are thrilled! Below is a profile pic showing the lips and nose very clearly.  The little bubble below the chin is an arm/hand.

Another profile shot, again the bubble is a hand/arm.  The baby kept the hands and legs up by the head the whole time.

I loved this one. It’s hard to see but at the bottom of the black space you can see baby looking straight at you. There’s a nose and lips.

Zimmerbaby2

Arm and fingers. So cute!

I just loved seeing the baby this way. He/she moved around so much! If you’re curious what Elijah’s ultrasound pics looked like at 20 weeks click here.

Warm weather at last!

We had our first warm weather day of the season last Sunday. We ate breakfast on the patio and busted out Elijah’s water table that he got for Christmas.  Boy did he have fun!

After lunch, our friends and former neighbors the Fulkerson-Smith’s came over. Jackson and Elijah had a blast with the table.
