Because I don't want to forget...

I know as soon as this baby comes (which I hope is REALLY soon) little Crate will seem SOOO much bigger. There are some things about him that I enjoy so much right now and if I don't record them I'll forget them.

I love the way he says some words...
Pillow is said "pig-a-bow"
Papi is "potty" however Crate usually still will say "papa"
Helicopter is said "heli-pig-a-coco"
Love you is "of you"
Uncle Casey is "Uncle Chi-chi"


He tries so hard to make a scary sound like a lion or tiger but he's always smiling when he does it so it comes out sounding really sweet.

I love that fact that he'll randomly come up to me and point to my stomach and say "baby" then he'll insist on giving my belly a kiss. I can't help but think that he knows who's coming and has been patiently waiting.

His hair is so red and sometimes so crazy...it just fits him and I love it.

He's usually a very kind boy and sometimes gets his feelings hurt easily. It breaks my heart to see him so sad.

He LOVES his older brothers and gets so excited each day when we drive to the school to pick them up.

I hope he adjusts well to the good changes that will be coming to the family.

It's been a really hot month. And I'm ready to have this little baby in my arms. The boys are excited and now we're just playing the waiting game. I think this is the hardest part of pregnancy.

I've been envisioning my birth experience and pray it's one of calmness and love. I'll also throw out there that I would appreciate any prayers on my behalf during this birth...there is power in prayer.
