Fun Pics of Ram

I can't believe how fast the summer has flown by. I will be (SADLY) returning to work on August 12th and am trying to come to terms on leaving my baby. I have just enjoyed my time at home with him so much this summer...and now, being prego again, I REALLY don't want to go back to work. I must say, however, I have been spending a few hours working in my classroom here and there the past 2 weeks and I still get the "butterflies" when I think about my little Kinder Kids coming through the door. I love teaching but nothing compares to motherhood and being at home with Ram.

As you will see in the pictures, Ramsey can really sport the attire. I'm trying to get the stinker to wear shoes---but he HATES them. Momo (my mom) bought him 5 new pair of shoes so we're giving it a go. He loves his sunglasses (so crazy!) and he sure was lookin' cute in his Calvin Klein outfit on the day I went to have another sono for Raiden. It's 100% official now---baby #2 is all boy! Raiden Dax will be here soon....and I'm beginning to feel movement from him on a daily basis. Raiden is even more active than Ramsey was, especially on the sonograms. I am beginning to plan out the room decor for Raiden's room and Shaun has been shifting furniture around to help prepare.

Ramsey is CRAWLING NOW!!! Yes, he has gone mobile and he is everywhere!!! He can pull up on furniture with ease and is also free-standing for about 5-8 seconds on his own (when he's still! LOL!). I think he's cutting a couple more teeth on the top (he already has 2 teeth on the bottom). His favorite toy lately seems to be my shoes; he loves the laces. Ramsey is able to turn off lights, turn pages in books (hard cardboard books), and can also give high fives! It's soooo cute!!! He continues to light up my life every day. I am so happy to be a mommy...especially Ram's mommy.













































Fun Times With Cousins
















We went to see our cousins this past weekend and had a GREAT time hanging with The Bradford Family. Obviously, as you can tell, the Bradford kiddos are beautiful and Shaun and I really loved visiting with Mandy and Brian.

Happy 30th Birthday Shaun! July 22nd

To celebrate Shaun's 30th birthday, Ramsey and Mommy decorated the house with Birthday hats and a Happy Bday banner to greet Daddy when he woke up. He got new clothes, a laptop desk to work on from home, wooden planks for the grill, and a special #1 Dad cup. That night we went out to dinner with friends to Benihana's and had a FAB time. The food was yummy and the entertainment was great. Shaun carried around his special 30 bday wand all night! LOL! Good times! Happy Birthday, Shaun. You're now in the "Dirty 30 Club". I love you, baby. -Pen

July 6th: It's A Boy!




Shaun & I went to have our 3 month (13 weeks) check-up at the doctor and also had a sonogram. HE was very active during the sono and showed off by twisting and turning and of course, flashing his "boyhood". As of now, the percentage is 95% accurate but as they say...the proof is in the pudding, baby....and there was definitely proof on the sono. So....we are expecting another baby boy in December. Ramsey isn't quite sure what to think of it all just yet but he keeps his little brother in check by doing the "river dance" on Mommy's tummy quite often to make sure his brother is awake.
