24 Weeks: Cantaloupe

Jane is now the size of a cantaloupe!

She and I are really getting big now.

I've been feeling great and have enjoyed feeling her little kicks.

At my prenatal appointments, my midwife keeps telling me I am boring because everything is fine and I never really have any questions :o)

Boring is good, I hope it stays that way.

It was around 24 weeks that I started having early contractions with Alice (which ended up leading to nothing but really freaked us out) so we are a little nervous that will happen again.

I am so excited to have a baby soon.

Alice seems more and more grown up everyday, which has been so much fun, but it does make me miss having a baby.

The Little Artist

We put Alice's easel outside and gave her some paint and let her go at it.

I dressed her in one of my old Cooney and Co. (my dad's company) t-shirts.

It reminded me of the many painting projects I have done in that shirt.

It was finger paint, but she is like her daddy and doesn't really like things on her hands and so was a little upset when she got paint on her hand. 

Then Daddy showed her she could do a handprint, and then it was cool.

"I have a paintbrush!"

"So awesome!"

"This one is for my blue period.."

"And it needs a little something.....here!"

Potty break.

Time for a popsicle.

Cinderella

Alice has recently fallen in love with Cinderella.

It's the only Disney princess movie we've let her watch.

We like Cinderella because it has no scary parts and because she is kind and respectful and isn't rebellious (I'm talking to you Ariel, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Rapunzel and Meridia!)

Whenever we put Classical music on, Alice gets really excited because she thinks it's the music from Cinderella :o)

We are not big Halloween people but a while back Stephen's grandma gave Alice a dress up Cinderella dress so we thought she would have fun dressing up for the day.

And of course I had to take some pictures.
