I love Sunday afternoons. It's so great to take some time to reflect and set new goals and rest up. When Hyrum and I woke up from our nap we came downstairs to Daddy and Camilla snoozing on the couch. After a quick bum change we snuck out the balcony door and played outside for an hour on our own. I relaxed in the cool breeze on the monkey swing and watched Hyrum dump the rain water from his buckets and scoop leaves with his shovel. As I relaxed, baby moved non-stop in my tummy. My bump is getting rounder and I actually had people congratulate me who just noticed it for the first time today. Imagine their shock when I told them I was due in two more months!
As I watched my little boy play, I couldn't believe how big he was getting. He's starting to say a few words like "done", "bike", and "bird". He prefers a cup to his sippy and is almost done with bottles. It's crazy how fast this last 16 months has gone! I adore his blonde, wavy hair but it's getting pretty long and will soon need to be trimmed up.
When the backyard got boring, we went around to the front yard and watched the cars and bikes zoom by. Hyrum could sit and watch cars go by forever. He would point at each one and the odd time I would get an excited scream. I loved spending the afternoon with my not so little man. Those baby blue eyes of his are so sparkly and noticeable outside in the sun.
After dinner and a visit with friends at an open house the kids were pretty tired. Mr. Stannix took Hyrum up to bed which left Camilla and I on our own downstairs. She came up and curled up on my lap and put her head on my tummy. She wanted the baby to kick her head like it did the other night during our movie. We sat and snuggled together for quite a while giggling quietly and feeling the baby move. I will always cherish our evenings together.
