Two Boys

Eric likes to lay on his back and throw the football and Silas likes to do whatever Eric is doing.
So the biggest news since I last blogged is that we're having another stinky boy and we're so excited about it. When we were talking about what gender kids we want and how far apart we wanted them we both agreed we wanted two boys close together in age. So now just as long as the next kid is a girl I'll be happy. :)
We also recently made Silas this awesome PVC pipe chair which has turned out to be a bit dangerous. It's light enough that he can drag it where he wants and he likes to climb all over it. He currently has a black eye from getting a little too wild and hitting his face on the entertainment center.
Silas got to go swimming at our friends apartment pool a couple of weeks ago. He looks like such a big boy in his swim suit. He's gone to nursery with me the last two weeks and it makes me sad he's getting bigger. I'm going to be the mom that cries on her kids first day of school. The first week in nursery was really sad, kids kept taking Silas's toys and he'd just get really sad and come sit on my lap and watch the bully play with his toy. Broke my heart! But this week he did a little better. When a kid would take his toy he'd yell/grunt at them then find a new toy. So maybe next week he'll learn to hold on to the toy or to take it back. Eric's been helping him work on it.
The pictures uploaded backwards. This was supposed to be at the top with our exciting news about the boy. We had Eric's grandma Marla and sister Carrie make this cake with either blue or pink frosting inside so we'd cut it and find out what we were having. It was way more fun than just finding out in the doctors office and we got to have the family find out at the same time. Side note: the frosting color on the outside of the cake is so ugly because I was worried about the yellow frosting I originally wanted not being able to hid the blue or pink so I just mixed all the colors together just to be safe. :)
