23 weeks



Well here we are back to measuring life in weeks and months.  I was so happy when BellaRose turned 2 and I did not have to figure out how many months she was.  Now I measure life in weeks and how round my belly is getting.  There are times I forget about the belly because so many other things have my attention particularly a certain cute 2 year old.  I feel like I am in that awkward pregnant girl stage where it is tough for me to see my rounding figure.  I know I need to push that vanity aside because what is happening inside this belly really is amazing and a little weird (come on you know it's true).  
The other night we were at dinner and there was a tiny new little baby there, BellaRose saw it and patted my belly.  That was a neat moment.  She knows about baby sister, and where she is living right now, but I never realized she connected the two.   She likes to feel baby sister move too.  We have still not named #2 yet.  We have a name in mind but we aren't ready to commit quite yet.  BellaRose likes it, and when she is says it is real sweet.  We will tell you once we know for sure.
The pictures below crack me up.  This is sweet girl in the morning.  She has taken to calling herself Rosey, which I LOVE.  I would not want her calling herself Bella, I don't like that by itself, but Rosey, so sweet!  She wanted me to take a belly picture of her this morning.  That is why her PJ's are unzipped.  She also put this outfit together and was standing there leaning on the table.  There are so many things to point out here, like the one ear out of the hat, and her shoes on the wrong feet.  This kid has a load of personality that is for sure.
In final Grant news, we had out 5th annual pumpkin carving contest at Matt and Margaret's house.  For the 1st time our pumpkin was crowned the winner!  We got to bring home the awesome turkey statue and a very generous visa gift card!  We are pretty excited.  Worth of course is taking all the credit (read the visa gift card) because he did all the work, but I am doing a lot of work too (see above picture)!  Those pictures will be coming next post.  Such a great party, one of my favorite of the year!

Hey, I think it is pretty cool that at 2, she can put her shoes on ( she can also, by the way, also put away the laundry).
Also good to see she doesn't forget her shades-hmm wonder where she gets that!
