Fun in the Sprinkler

This was one of the first things Noah did this morning. Put on my PJ pants after I had gotten dressed. I was so glad I still had my camera out on my desk so I didn't miss it. He's such a ham. The sun was so hot today. I like to go outside every day for at least a few hours, but it was torture! The deck was on fire, practically. I did the only thing I could think of to cool it off and turned the sprinkler on it. Did the trick quite nicely.

Noah watered my shoes
and the plants
and himself
and tried to water me!

It's potty time again. Noah is showing a lot more independence with taking his clothes on and off and would rather wear a pull-up than a diaper. I think it's time to try again. I completely forgot I had bought a potty chair waaaaaay back when Noah was like 16 months old or something, silly me. It was just sitting up on the shelf. I had been using the kid seat for him on the big potty, but I decided whatever I can do at this point would be great. He loves the potty seat, but has yet to go potty in it. He understands he has to be diaper-less to sit on it now at least. He wants to carry the potty seat around with him... to sit on it and watch TV and eat... naked. He's really turning into a little man hahaha. I told him it has to stay in the bathroom. He totes his booster seat with him everywhere, but with his booster seat he wears clothes. I bought a "Bear in the Big Blue House" DVD about going on the potty, practice, independence, and pride in accomplishment. It's a glorious brainwashing melange of puppets and songs. He watched the entire thing and got excited about his potty chair so we'll see what happens.

I also bought some new linen drawstring maternity pants and I LOVE them. Josh has always wanted pants like this and will be so uber jealous. Eat your heart out, babe! ;) I know this may look goofy to a lot of people, but I love wearing little shirts around the house so my big belly can hang out. It makes it look so much bigger and therefore cuter (to me). I am enjoying this pregnancy so much :)

You look so cute. And believe me the shirts you wear are longer then i wear. I dont wear maternity shirts around the house. Just Pre- pregnancy shirts. needless to say they are very short now! How are you feeling, and how far are you?

Thanks, Jen! I am 6 months now and I feel just fine. I have some hip and lower back pain when I walk too much or sleep without my nest of 3 pillows. Other than that I've been feeling like myself... oh except I cry easier :)

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
