Baby H 30 Weeks Pregnant

We finally got some good pictures of Baby H!!
I guess that large Dr. Pepper from Sonic helped to get him moving.
The technician said it was hard to get a good picture of him from the front of his face because there was too much of "me" in the way.
That's OK because he sure does have a cute profile!

(If you click on the pictures it will open each one up, so you can get a better view and see my "labeling" of everything.) 


 This kid really likes to have his feet up in his face.  Again, he kept bringing his foot right to his face.  He'd suck his heal and poke himself in the eye with his foot.


 It was a pretty awesome visit this time.  Kirk and I got to see Baby H sucking his thumb, his foot, open his mouth and stick out his tongue, yawn, blink AND we got to see him breathe!  The baby's just now start practicing their breathing at this stage.  We got to see his lungs working and his chest taking breaths.  It was really amazing!
 This kid likes to stay squished in a ball:
Hands, legs and feet stay in his face.
 He poked himself in the eye!
 Here he is sucking his thumb.
How stinking cute!!

Writing His Name

 
My son’s only 3 ½ and he can already write his own name.
 Never mind that he writes his “A” like an “H” and that he writes from the right to the left.
 I put the letters he’s meaning to write above the actual letter that he does write…so you can “understand” his writing a little better.
 I think he does pretty darn good for his age!

Houston Children's Museum

Allan met his buddy, Maegan, at the Children's Museum.
 It was packed full of kids.
Tons of school/daycare field trip kids were there.
But Maegan and Allan didn't seem to mind the crowd one bit.
 Allan's first visit inside a telephone booth.
 These kids will probably grow up not knowing what a telephone booth or a pay phone is.
 UP...
 ...UP...
 ...and down.

 Allan waiting patiently to drive the "Mustang Sally."
 Behind the wheel at last!
 (Maegan's got the right idea if Allan's gonna be driving...)
 A week without seeing each other...
 This is how they walked to most of the exhibits.
Best Buds.
 Officer Michael driving and Maegan and Allan in the back of a patrol car.
 "This will not be an insight into Allan's future."
"This will not be an insight into Allan's future."
"This will not be an insight into Allan's future."

 Allan snowboarding.
 (Michael's had to get in on a lot of the action at the museum.)
 Allan was taking his snow boarding seriously.  He was even "wiping out" and throwing himself off the snowboard and onto the floor.  Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of that.

 Looking good big guy!!
 Way to go Allan...and Michael!!


 Here we got to build race cars out of Legos and then take them to this ramp to race them.
Definitely right up Allan's alley.



 Maegan's retrieving her rocket.
 Who's having more fun at the museum...
 Allan's about to launch his rocket.
(Pay not attention to that crazy looking rocket that he has to work with.  I did the best I could.  Building/making rockets is not my thing.)
 BLAST OFF!
It was a fun day at the museum!
