Here are some pics from May - the belly has developed A LOT since these but the photos haven't been downloaded yet.
Our not so little baby is having lots of fun in the womb. She is pretty busy but (knock on wood) she is letting her mother sleep through the night most nights but if mommy can't sleep for any reason other than a busy baby, she will happily wake up and join the party. Her kicks are plenty strong for her big sis to feel these days. Violet is being so loving and caring its really sweet. I can't leave the house (or the room) without baby getting a kiss and hug first and she has taken to caring for me, following daddy's lead. Tonight after work I was sat down at the table to put my feet up while Jon made dinner and Violet brought me a blanket to cover my legs (though I wasn't cold, she wanted me to be cozy...) Then she told me the only thing I was allowed to do was read her some books. ok, I can take an evening like that when its possible. The doctor has me 'taking it easier' at the moment so my lovely family are making sure I do just that.
Jon is still ticking pretty major projects off the list around the house, tonight it is tearing down the shed in the back yard. I THINK when this is done, that will be most of the big stuff finished but I could be wrong it never seems to end. Let's just say a lot has been accomplished around here. Baby's room is almost ready, she and Violet have some lovely flower murals that Jon painted and there is a new closet organizer installed as well as curtains and a whole bunch of other stuff. In an effort to darken Violet's room, we bought her some pretty ugly blackout curtains, still working on making them prettier, but she also chose some incredibly girly decorative sheers to go with them - she loves them, daddy doesn't.
We were tourists in our own city on friday, we had dinner downtown and then walked along the waterfront taking in the buskers, the market and all the activities. Violet, who was wearing a particularly outrageous outfit she had chosen, was grooving to a steel drummer/guitarist who was playing a lot of reggae until her parents tore her away finally. When we told her he was playing steel drums she looked at us thoughtfully and said "yeah, the man steals them and then he brings them here to play music".
