We were able to go to the Ocean Journey at the Aquarium last week with another friend and I was able to take some pictures of Ali Greis enjoying the fish. She LOVED it!!
Talking to the fish
Ali Greis and Elliott get along so well together. They are both going to be a big brother and big sister soon so it's good practice!
We got to see a diving show!
On Tuesday, we went to the River Journey and they have a place called Ranger Rick's Backyard Safari where they will bring out different animals for the kids to touch and learn about. While we were there, there was a box turtle and some kind of snake. My child wouldn't touch the turtle but she touched the snake! We then got to see a bird show and she was fascinated with them. She also touched an otter fur and loved it :) I'm glad she's so fearless but I don't think I'm ready for her to grow up just yet! I'm so thankful for this time that I'm able to stay home with her before the baby comes. I love watching her learn and grasp ideas. We're also working on potty training and she's so excited about it! Me on the other hand? Not so much. But she's showing signs that she's ready so we might as well give it a try!
I have noticed that I'm getting a little more clumsy and a lot slower and realized it's probably because I'm 18 weeks pregnant! I'm definitely going to be more careful, especially when it comes to picking up my 30lb 16 month old! She's getting more and more independent so that does help. I can't believe we're almost halfway there! This pregnancy has gone by so fast. Just 2 more days and we find out what we're having!!
This one was taken at 17 weeks. I'm carrying a lot lower than I did with Ali Greis so I'm guessing it's a boy...but we'll find out soon enough!
