We're Gonna Bowl Tonight

Casey went bowling for the first time this week.  Saturday night we took her bowling with Sean, Kathy, Dillon and Connor.  Though the kids were more interested in pushing the balls around the ball return, they did play a full game and were pretty good.  The adults played their own game and pregnant me came out the winner!! 

The rest of the weekend was spent watching the Hokies beat Arkansas State and preparing Casey's new room.  Stan has been working hard painting the walls yellow and changing out the baseboard and trim.  Casey even helped out with painting.  She is very excited about her new room!

As for the rest of the week...Casey had her second swim lesson on Thursday.  Still hasn't gone underwater, but she was jumping in to the teacher and getting her face wet and it didn't bother her at all. 

Casey has become very opinionated and independent lately.  She always has to pick out her own pajamas at night and underwear in the morning and really likes to choose what she is going to wear that day too.  She likes to wear dresses and/or comfy pants (as Stan would say...I've created a monster).  She also likes to choose her breakfast.  If it's cereal, she comes into the kitchen, opens the pantry, picks her cereal, her bowl and her spoon, then gets up into her stool to eat. 

She has become more and more verbal too, if you can imagine.  She talks with her hands now and likes to try and have conversations.
"So Mommy...what are you doing today?"
On her pretend phones, "So, yea, I'm just playing with my cars.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh huh, yeah, well, i gotta go." 

As for baby boy, he is doing well.  He is constantly moving and kicking and hiccuping and making sure I know at all times he is in there.   Casey still likes to call him a her, but also calls him her baby and is very excited about sharing certain toys and books with him when he comes out of mom's belly.

We didn't take too many pix this week, but enjoy the few we did take.
