Ultrasound Comparisons & K-Mart Double Coupon Days

I was looking back at Aden's 4-D ultrasound pictures to compare new baby's pics. You can look back at my previous post to see our recent ultrasound pics for baby girl. It seems Aden's face is a lot chubbier in his pictures. Baby girl's facial structures seem to be more defined and her nose appears to be more like mine. Anyway, Aden's pictures are below. Technology is just amazing, isn't it?





I also wanted to mention the double coupon days this week at K-Mart. They are doubling coupons up to $2.00. I was excited to see this as I have several $2.00 off diaper coupons, so it will be $4.00 off per package. I know that the Fort Smith K-mart is a participating store, but you can always call your local store to see if they are participating as well. Just thought I would share!

4-D Ultrasound of Our Baby Girl

So, last Monday we had our 4-D ultrasound of baby girl. We are 28 weeks now! Only 9 to 12 more weeks to go and so much to do before then...

And my favorite picture. She kind of looks like Aden did in this one.




Aden developed a double eye infection and ear infection over the weekend. James took him to the walk-in-clinic today, so that Aden could get started on some meds. Although it is obvious that he doesn't feel great, he has still been his busy little self playing around the house. We were supposed to go to a Chuck E Cheese party yesterday, but had to stay home because Aden was sick. I felt so bad as he has been talking about "going to Chuck E Cheese on Saturday" all week. =( We'll have to make it up to him when he gets better!

Our Valentine's Day Weekend...

We had a very sad Valentine's day. My grandmother, who was 85 years old, passed away Saturday evening. She was like a second mother to me. I will remember her for her strength, her witty character, and dry sense of humor. We will miss her dearly and she will always hold a special place in my heart.

On a happier note, several things occured last week that I wanted to blog about. First, I want to say Congratulations to one of my best friends, Miranda, on her recent engagement. She and her finance, Sean, have been together 4 years. I am so happy for them. Her ring is absolutely gorgeous! The picture below doesn't begin to show how pretty it is.


Friday, Aden had his Valentine's day party at Montessori. I briefly stopped by the school and snapped a few pictures. They were working on a Valentine's day craft.


Aden showing me his finished product backwards. =) Every time that Aden is aware of my picture taking, I get this same cheesy face (squinted eyes and all).


Friday evening Aden had a patriotic-themed school program. The tots only participated in one song, "Yankee Doodle", but it was just really cute. We were so proud of him marching around the stage and holding his little flag!

Happy Birthday James!

Today is my hubby's 28th birthday. He had to work tonight, so we did a little mini-celebration last night with dinner at the house and a cookie cake. James wanted to go to the horse races in Hot Springs for his birthday, so we are leaving in the morning. It will be a nice little break for us and Aden will get to spend some time with his mimi and nana.







Aden has been doing very well. We received a progress report today from his toddler teacher at Montessori. Here it is:

James and Kelly;

I just wanted to update you on Aden's progress at school. He is very
social and loves being with the other kids. I just had a student add
Friday to her schedule, and he welcomed her with open arms. He is a very
loving young man. He has begun choosing his own work with more regularity,
and I very seldom have to suggest that he find a work. He is getting much
better at putting puzzles together. One of his favorite works is stringing
beads, and he LOVES books!

A few of the things I am working with Aden on is putting away his works
when he is finished with them. He has also been saying, "No," and "Can't"
quite often. I am trying to discourage those words and give him better
phrases to use instead of, "Can't" ("This is too hard for me, will you
help?").

I really enjoy Aden. He brightens my day when I see his happy little face.
