Girl Cousins!

The day before Easter we got together with my mom's side of the family for an Easter party at Craig park. Colton was adorable during the Easter egg hunt. He kept opening the eggs and letting the candy fall out before putting it in his basket. Thank goodness he doesn't recognize candy yet.
That's right ladies and gentlemen...less than 1 week left before we meet our sweet baby girl. Even though I've done this before, having an addition to our family soon is still so surreal. I'm ready to have her and beyond ready to not be pregnant anymore. I just remember being so anxious to have Colton but then realizing I should have enjoyed my last nights of good sleep! I've been feeling so worn out from Colton's high energy and I wish I could keep up with him. I worry how he will react to the baby, he has absolutely no clue that I'm having a baby. The baby name front runner is still Rylie Jane. My weight is up to 136 lbs. and I feel gigantic! I feel like a t-rex because my arms reach is very limited. Add the huge belly on top of being short and it's hard to reach anything! Devin is way more anxious than I am about the baby's arrival. I don't think the reality of a 2nd child has really hit either of us just yet.
I blogged previously including pics of Colton when I've come to his room in the morning to get him out of his crib. I have found him with his pj's half off, all the way off, and with an arm sticking out several times...but this was a first! I'm not sure how he figured out how to get his shirt like that but it was too funny not to take a picture. (He was still sleepy and not excited about the camera in his face.) Lately I've been giving him alot of bath time-it keeps the house clean since he's not running around destroying the place and he loves to play in there.
He prevailed through the heavy rain and strong wind completing his first marathon.
The zoo was a little smaller than we had expected so we were there for less than 2 hours. I think Colton had the most fun at the zoo's playground. He got to see monkeys, camels, an anteater, and a bald eagle. Unfortunately the elephant wasn't out and they didn't have lions or anything too impressive.
Is it too much to ask that our baby girl get Devin's genes with those eyes too?
Colton's head is in the 95th percentile so sometimes it's a struggle to get t-shirts and sweatshirts off. Sometimes I leave it like this for a minute because his face makes me laugh.
A big thank you to Lynds and Tiff for throwing me such a great baby shower and to all the girls that came. I felt so loved.
After my baby shower Amy took a few shots of my belly in the backyard. My "official" pregnancy photoshoot is with her this coming Saturday.
With the rainy weather we were determined to find somewhere that Colton could use his energy and get out of the house. We took him to Chuck E Cheese's for the first time. We quickly realized he was a little young to appreciate the games. He didn't like the rides-he kept holding out his arms for us to pick him up. He was entertained by the skee balls but wasn't the best at throwing the balls the right way. I think we will wait another year or two before returning.
Love. This. Guy.
At church the during the last 2 hours kids that are 18 months-3 years old get to attend nursery. So parents can drop their children off in there so they can attend their Sunday school classes. Since my calling is in nursery I'm one of the leaders that watches the kids.
