So as you know by now if you've followed this blog, we are gearing up for baby number two come December. This pregnancy is just flying by for me and I am feeling really good overall. Speaking of that, Olive has some news to share about the new baby:
FYI, her shirt says "Dear Diary, I asked for a puppy, not a brother."
So what I suspected all along is true... we're having a boy!! We're very excited and feel so very blessed. I know that the days to come will be crazy and chaotic at times, but I know Jason and I are up to the task.
Now, more serious planning can commence, like decorating the new baby's room and deciding on a name.
In other news, we had a great time in Madeline Island, WI with my sister and her family in early July. Here's a picture of Olive on the ferry boat to the island.
These days, Morton and Olive often play a game that I call "Baby Fetch". They sit on the rug about a foot apart and roll the tennis ball back and forth to each other. She takes breaks periodically to stroke and pull the hair on his front paws and to feel his toenails which really interest her. I think it's funny that we have all of these baby books with fake fur that the baby is supposed to want to touch, but she would rather go for the real thing!
Take care and stay cool in this summer heat. Love, Claire
