6 weeks old and Maternity Pictures

Today Britt James is 6 weeks old!  The last week has been pretty busy and our big boy is growing!  Ava's school was closed last Friday for Parent Teacher Conferences and this week for Spring Break.  Calvary has two Parent Teacher Conferences a  year and I love this thirty minutes with the Teachers to hear about Ava and her classroom.  I love how much structure and consistency they offer at her school and love to hear about everything they are teaching her.  Currently they are working on the days of the week, recognizing numbers, and the months.  I never thought she would be learning so much at two years old!

This week has been a little challenging with Ava off all week.  Monday went well however Tuesday was another story.  I think Ava was a little bored since we did not leave the house on Monday and since I have to give more care to Britt and the fact that Travis was not home to play with Ava, she started to lash out a little and I was happy that Travis came home early to take Ava to the park.  Thankfully Nana and Papa took her on Wednesday and today which always makes her happy.  After Travis picked her up yesterday, I took her to the park while Travis watched Britt at home.  Ava's good friend, Vivien, was at the park and the two girls ran, giggled, and held hands for the hour that we were at the park.  Vivi's parents love Ava so much and were just as tickled as I was watching the two girls play together.

 Britt is continuing to be a sweetheart and I love all of this special Mommy time that I am able to spend with him during the day.  While  he still does not love it, he is getting better at spending time on his play mat.  He also graduated to size 1 diapers but is still mostly wearing with Kissy Kissy newborn gowns. It has finally warmed up and I hope to take him on a walk at Radnor Lake this afternoon and then tomorrow I am going to attempt to take both children to the Zoo!

In other news I made a mistake last week and did some online shopping for summer clothes.  I bought the same size shorts that I use to wear and when I tried them on I could barely get them on and did not even attempt to zip them up.  Needless to say everything was returned.  After a pity call to my husband, he reminded me that I did just give birth 42 days ago so not to be discouraged.  With this said below are the photos from our Maternity session that was taken of me at 37 weeks pregnant, just 18 days before Britt was born.  This helps to remind me how large my belly was and this is why I cannot fit into any of my old clothes yet.
