Sister, sister...

Today Joe and I went for my 28 week appointment. We had the usual stuff done for me and baby girl Longfellow, my weight (I hate that part and they do it EVERY TIME!!!), belly measurements, baby heart rate, etc. We also had an ultrasound and decided to have the 3D ultrasounds done to see if we can see more than we do with regular ultrasounds. Well, we did! Baby girl Longfellow is yes...still a girl, the technician loves to point that out for us...but she also let us get a glimpse of her features such as nose, eyes, chin, hands, arms, and whatever else she can see. Isn't that cool?

So, this got me thinking and remembering when we had this done prior to Ryan's birth. I dug through some of her stuff to find the CD with her pictures and decided to post she and her soon to be sister on the same post to see if y'all think they look, or are gonna look, as similar to one another as I think they are. Tell me who is who and let's figure out WHY MY CHILDREN DON'T LOOK LIKE ME???? Just kidding, I just thought it would be fun to compare and contrast the two sets of pictures. Enjoy!

Ok, this is totally worth posting a second time...I just posted it to facebook. So we went to Ben's birthday this afternoon (Leah's son, he's six on Monday) and we all sang happy birthday to him and had delicious ice cream cake and pizza and goodies and played outside till the rain came. Then Joe and I decided to drive home in the rain because I wasn't feeling great and we gave Ryan a bath and started to wind her down for the evening. I try to take a nap before 9:00 and I can't sleep because I hear Ryan talking. Actually, she was singing and what was she singing you ask? The "happy birthday" song. You'll have to turn it up to hear her but she was singing it. Joe would jump in and help her and she even sang "happy birthday" to Daddy. Priceless.

More strawberry patch fun...

So if you saw the post on Ryan's green thumb, it apparently didn't end there...She spent all of that afternoon in the garden eating berries that she picked herself. Grandma even said that she saw Ryan pick the berries and pull the leafy tops off. I guess she knows what she is doing! Just a few more pics from the berry patch.

Green thumb...

While everyone else was enjoying the nice day and the clear swimming pool...

Ryan was...

Perfecting her green thumb!!! And enjoying the spoils of her victory with fresh strawberries from grandma's garden!!! With dirt on her face and in between her hands, she was enjoying every bit of her time in the garden. That's my girl!!!
