Baby Herman #2: Weeks 27 and 28

Once again, I had trouble getting around to blogging for Week 27.  So we have two sets of pictures this week.

Week 27:

 And here I am at 28 weeks:

Click here to see Adriana at 27 & 28 weeks.  As it turns out, I did her pictures in the same post, too.

For my Week 29 post with Adriana, I did a gender prediction post (I was right, by the way).  So, come back next week to see what you might be able to expect in July.

Adriana Leigh is 19 Months Old

Adriana is continuing to thrive.  I gave up on counting her words because she is out of control.  She repeats absolutely everything, and I wasn't able to keep up with her.  She says very few three-syllable words, and we're still working on getting two words at a time, but she is definitely a talker.  She loves talking to EVERYONE!  Whenever we go out, she runs up to random people and starts talking to them.  She is definitely not shy...at least not yet.

She is working on her letters and colors right now.  She has foam letters in the living room and bathtub (thank you Brandon).  She also has refrigerator letters which help her learn.  As of right now, she can recognize and say A, B, C, D, E, F, K, M, P, S, and T 100% of the time.  She recognizes and says R and U about 90% of the time.  There are others that she will point to when you ask her, but she doesn't say them.  She also recognizes and says 2.

As far as colors go, she is doing very well.  She consistently recognizes and says red, blue, yellow, green, purple, black, and pink.  We are working on white now.  Orange is just hard to say, so she shies away from it.  We'll get to brown and gray soon.

I'm particularly proud of her because she is starting to "read."  She loves the book, Llama Llama Red Pajama.  When we read it to her, she finishes all but two of the pages.  I hope to have a video of this very soon.  For now, you'll have to settle for some pictures, but they're some pretty cute pictures.

Baby Herman #2 - 25 Weeks and 26 Weeks

We had Spring Break last week, so I was definitely able to get my pictures taken.  But, Adriana kept me busy on my week off, and it was Scott's busiest week of the year (well, his busiest week when he's not out of town anyway) so I didn't get a chance to update the blog.

I'm starting to get quite uncomfortable.  I have trouble sleeping because of my belly, my inability to breathe, and my charley horses.  Fun stuff.  My heartburn is getting worse, but it's still not as bad as it was with Adriana.  I'm still able to eat lemons, and with her, I had to cut them out a long time ago.

Here's my picture from 25 weeks pregnant:
