A few pictures

I am so far behind on pictures! We have a ton of pictures on our camera that haven't even made it to the computer yet, much less to someplace like a blog, or Shutterfly, or Facebook, where they can be shared with friends and family! But I do have a few pictures I would like to share with you!
First, here are a few of our baby girl. In the third picture, you can see she it looks like she already has super long legs!:




Here are a few from the Easter season. Wells and cousin Finn got their faces painted at the Easter Egg hunt at Earle Street Baptist Church. They also enjoyed the live bunnies at the Easter Egg Hunt at Legacy Park:



This is a picture from the Great Cloth Diaper Change Event at one of our new favorite Stores, Natural Baby, in downtown Greenville.

And finally, one of my favorite somewhat recent pictures of Wells:

Buying new bottles

When we found out I was pregnant again, I really didn't think we were going to need to buy much. Since we didn't know if Wells was going to be a boy or a girl, we bought all of the big stuff to be gender neutral the first time around. And, we have a lot of newborn clothes that can be used for this baby, too, even though she is a girl!

But now we have decided we need to buy all new baby bottles. Have you heard of BPA? Well, most products don't use BPA in their plastics anymore, but apparently there are new chemicals that have replaced BPA that might be just as harmful. Bill got a little freaked out about it, and I started doing some research. We had pretty much made the decision to switch to glass bottles, and then this article was printed in the New York Times on Sunday. Granted, it is an opinion article, but it highlights a lot of our reasoning for switching to glass.

We plan to use these bottles made by lifefactory (www.lifefactory.com). Now we just have to make the investment!

Has it really been 8 months?

Obviously, I am pretty bad at being a blogger! I can't believe I haven't posted anything here in 8 months. I promise it isn't because there hasn't been much to say. Actually, the opposite is true. I guess we have just been so busy living life, that we forget to keep you updated about it!

For those of you that we don't see or talk to on a regular basis, here are some of the things that have been going on:
  • Wells is growing, growing, growing! He is running around and into everything. He has a crazy vocabulary for his age, and loves to sing and read books. (technically, we are the ones reading...he isn't that advanced!) I can't believe he will be two in just over a month!
  • I changed jobs this year. I am working for a virtual high school called Palmetto State E-cademy. That has allowed me to work from home, although Wells is still in daycare. It has been a good change, though!
  • Our biggest news is we are expecting a second baby! Our due date is August 9, and it is a girl! We are all pretty excited to welcome her into our lives. I have no idea what Bill and I are going to do with a girl, though. I am sure the grandmothers will make sure she is spoiled!
I am going to try to be better about posting here. I can make no promises.
