4th of July

Here is my belly! I am almost 18 weeks pregnant and getting bigger. The picture is taken in the evening after a full day of eating so I am not quite that big in the morning.


She continues to do well with the whole potty thing, now all we have to work on is her telling me when she needs to go. I still have to catch her or ask her to make her realize she has to use the potty. I am so proud of her! When she is done using the potty she just gets up and runs around. :o)



The week flew by again as we stayed busy..babysitting, working, and running around. Monday night we went to a Columbus Clippers game, which is a minor league baseball team. We had a good time! I think Ella enjoyed herself also because we sat on the lawn and played in the water fountains.




Tuesday we had a playdate with Erin and Aiden. The babies get along so great now, it's fun to watch them play. It's also interesting to see Ella with another baby her age because she is a lot taller than him.


The weekend was here before we knew it and it started early for Evan cause he didn't have to work on Friday, which was great because that meant we still had 2 days to spend together because I worked on Sunday from 7a-9p. We lounged around on Friday till early afternoon than ran some errands and headed downtown for Columbus's big 4th of July celebration. There were so many people there, we could hardly push through the streets. We walked around, ate, and played a few games until the fireworks at 10p. Ella was certainly ready to go but we didn't want to miss the best part. We actually ended up watching them from our parking garage so we could leave a little early and beat the traffic.



On Saturday we went to Cincinnati for a Reds game. Ella was such a good girl, she slept the entire way there and back. It rained throughout the entire game but thank god we had seats way up high underneath the scoreboard. Bad seats have never been better. We had a great time!




Sunday I worked all day and Evan and Ella had a great time together.
