Baby boy #2 finally has a name...Eric and I promised each other (and all others who were asking!) that we would come up with a name for our next baby boy by the time we left Townsend, TN. And he shall be called....
...drumroll please.....
Adam Connor Freeman
We both really liked the name Adam (which means "first" or "original") and Connor was a suggestion from Aunt Angela and Eric's Aunt Susie. Connor means "brilliant", so you can't go wrong there! Hope you like it!
I remember not taking too many belly pics last pregnancy, so I decided to do more this time around. Here I am at six weeks along June 19th…already showing! Crazy!
And…then I forgot to take pictures! A few weeks went by and then I popped out even more! I took this yesterday- I’m around 15 weeks along! Should find out the gender of the baby by the end of next month! Any guesses??
Caleb is now in a big boy bed! This afternoon, once he got up from what was supposed to be his long nap, Eric and I disassembled his crib (somewhat bittersweet), moved it into the future nursery, reassembled it, then moved a full size mattress and box springs to his room. We put the box springs directly on the floor so he wouldn’t be that far off the ground. We then covered the mattress with Handy Manny sheets (thanks Mimi, Grandpa and Aunt Angela!) and a Handy Manny comforter (thanks Mom, Dad, Nana and Grandad!). We read a story, then sang a song and laid him down.
Here’s Daddy and Caleb about to read a Bible Story from the Jesus Storybook Bible- the BEST!
Here’s Caleb about to go night night in his new bed! Mr. Whale is in the foreground, with Tigger and Handy Manny in the background.
We mounted a camera monitor on the wall across from the bed so we could see what he did. We have a baby gate across his bedroom door frame, so even if he opened his bedroom door, he could not escape. Well, sure enough, within two minutes, he sat up, looked around, and promptly got out of bed and walked to the door. After about five minutes of trying to escape (quietly, though), Eric went up, gently put him back into bed, explained he needed to stay put, kissed him goodnight, gave him Mr. Whale, and closed the door, for the second time. Guess what? That’s all it took! We never saw him move after that! Crazy! Now, I’m not assuming that each night will be as easy as tonight, but at least, the first night went okay! Now, we’ll see what time he gets up!
So, for the Fourth of July, Eric, Caleb and I all went down to Beaufort, SC, to visit with Eric’s parents and sister. We had a blast!! Caleb had a lot of new experiences down there, so I tried to capture them on camera for you.
Here’s Caleb and Grandpa Wayne playing with duck calls! Watch how Caleb “hops” when he “quacks”!
Playing inside his playhouse…peek a boo!
He got just a LITTLE dirty in the garden! He loved playing in the dirt, then wading in the puddles…so everyone knows that DIRT + WATER=….MUD!!
Helping Mimi pick some peppers!
Here is the aforementioned puddle!
Riding back from the garden in his wagon, taking a water break!
Caleb getting to swim in the pond for the first time!
Swimming with Aunt Angela and Mr. Duck!
Caleb discovered a love for corn on the cob. He ate a total of 1 1/2 ears of corn (3 half ears!). And…we didn’t even have to cut it off for him!
Caleb even gave us all a tour on the golf cart!
Boat ride!
