Madison's Swim Class

So as I have mentioned many many times before, Madison is really enjoying swim class at Summer's Swim Academy.  Here are some video clips from her latest lesson (click on each "Part" to see the clip on YouTube)!

30 Weeks!

Here is the 30 week picture:

I can not reiterate how much more active this baby is than Madison was.... I think he may already know how to crawl!

And.... Madison once again in the pool (sometimes Daddy is too lazy to put her bathing suit on her... but we can still rock the diva glasses).

Summer time!

It's officially summertime here in Texas!  This means 90s..... everyday!  What the heck was I thinking having this time of year be my 3rd trimester!!!???!!!
Ok - here's the 29 week picture.... I know, I know, I have already submitted it to Sports Illustrated

Madison is doing great in swim classes so far.  She seems to really trust her teacher and they have even put her face in the water quite a few times now and she hasn't cried or come up choking and gagging....yet.

While the weather isn't in the 100s yet, we are still trying to get outside as much as possible.  Madison has many interests.... she likes playing in the dirt:

And then being a ballerina (ignore Adam bending over):

But most of all, LOVES the water!

Today Madison also "graduated" from her gymnastics class at The Little Gym.  Her Daddy took a long lunch and came to watch the tricks she has learned and to see her get her ribbon.  She was SOOO excited to have Daddy there!

Blog Neglect

Ok, so I really have been neglecting this blog the last few weeks.....  Everything is fine, I promise, we just have been really busy!
First for some updated belly pics!  How did I get to be 28 weeks pregnant already???

Let's see where to start.....  Over the last few weeks my wedding planning business became an LLC and I also partnered with family friend Laura Hearon.  We are currently revamping our website, updating our packages and pricing, and are looking into other marketing avenues to expand the business.  Very exciting!

  

I also took on a new business!  I am the Publisher Mom for Macaroni Kid - League City/ Clear Lake.  I basically compile all the local activities in the area and send out a weekly e-newsletter letting parents know what is going on.  I also spotlight local family and kid friendly businesses.  I am just about to start looking for advertisers on the site.  Those that know moms in the area, please invite them to subscribe!  To check out what I have done so far: Macaroni Kid - League City/Clear Lake

We have been working hard on getting Baby #2's (we already have an name, but Adam wants to try to keep it a secret... some of you know it... so ssssh!!) nursery ready.  Here is a progression of pictures (so glad to be rid of that awful yellow paint!):

That's about where we are right now with the room.... still a lot to do, but definitely a good start.  As you can tell the colors are sage green and brown and it is a monkey theme!  Because he is moving around so much inside of me these days and I feel like he is ready to jump out at any second (seriously there is some major Kung Foo going on in there), I really wanted to get a lot of the shopping and big stuff done as soon as possible!

In the meantime, Madison has been enjoying our pool...... she starts a little more intense swim classes tomorrow where she will actually be learning to swim underwater..... hopefully watching all of this occur does not send me into premature labor!  Adam will be in the water with her for class though.  We will be going every Tuesday and Thursday.  She just loves the water too much, and with the pool in our backyard, we really had to get serious about her learning to swim.... I am just going to have a hard time watching them dunk my baby!!

Finally our garden is coming along nicely.... we have already harvested some broccoli and have quite a few tomatoes starting to form.  The corn is actually growing too!!

Broccoli

Tomato!!

I promise no more blog neglect for this long again!!
