6 1/2 months

So Fast:  Time is flying by!  I have a hard time believing that in 3 1/2 months, we'll have our little boy.  Heck, I still can't really believe there's a little miracle growing in my belly to begin with, despite how many judo chops he gives me.  Which I still love by the way.  Every new roll, kick and punch is just as exciting as the first one.  Little boy weighs about 2 pounds now.  I remember grabbing an 8oz package out of the cabinet and showing Joe that it was the same weight as little boy, and now we're already 2 pounds!  I'm amazed by how quickly he's growing!

Individuality:  When it comes to personality, he is really starting to show us his!  This little guy doesn't like to be woken up when he's napping.  I have to get up a few times a night, and every time I come back to bed, he gives me quite a show of force to express his displeasure at being disturbed.  In fact, I could tell he was laying transverse last night because of the continuous roll tide of kicks and punches to both sides at the same time.  I tried not to laugh out loud and wake Joe up, but it was really funny the little tantrum I felt going on there.  I apologized for waking him and held as still as possible until he quieted down again.  Someone's grumpy like Daddy when they're woken up ;)

Activity:  I really love how big and active he's getting.  He has one move that really cracks me up, I call it "baby tsunami".  I'm pretty sure when I feel it that he's actually rolling over into a new position.   But there's just so much movement and bouncing all at once that it feels like a little tidal wave in there.  Joe got to feel it the other day, which was awesome.  I love getting to share those moments with him.  He always has this look on his face, like how in the world did he do that?  And his movements are getting more and more distinct, I am starting to pick out feet and maybe elbows, as well as his head and bottom (although I really can't tell which is which yet).   I can't wait until I can actually see a foot or hand pushing up against my skin.  How amazing will that be?!?

Week 26 Photo:  I've been terrible about keeping up with my pictures, so I took one of myself today in the bathroom at work.  Here we are at 26 weeks 4 days.  This belly is the coolest present I've ever gotten!

Look at that baby belly, he's getting so big!  

First Purchases: Here are a few pictures of the sweet little organic outfits we got him the other day, I can't wait to put them on him.  Little dinosaurs!  Joe and I have this joke about how I've always wanted to discover a new species of dinosaur so that I could name it Krysieosaurus.  Yes, it's egomaniacal, but how fun would it be to go to a museum and see a giant Krysieosaurus staring back at you?  It would be awesome, that's how!  I tease Little Boy and call him Babyosaurus when he's doing his giant moves, so I can't wait to see these little outfits on him!
