I just knew I wouldn't be that mom that let the second child's life not get documented. I guess I was wrong. So, in an effort to make me feel less guilty I'll give an update on what is going on with her right now. <br />
<br />
She is two years and four months old! She weighs about 33 pounds and is 37 inches tall (same height Crawford was when he was three). She talks a lot! She is getting pretty good about knowing all of her colors, currently pink is the favorite! She is busy, busy, busy! I don't know how many people have asked me if she ever walks or just runs! Mainly she just runs! And she is FAST!! She is very independent and would much rather "do it myself" than let anyone else help. This goes for getting in her carseat, buckling her car seat, getting dressed, getting her diaper, getting and buckling her high chair, etc. It makes me laugh that she wants to do it all herself and Crawford who is 5 1/2 would much rather me do it for him! Along with being independent a bit of bossiness is coming out. She told a friend at school the other day, "worry about yourself!' She constantly lets Crawford know what he can and can't do and loves to cross her arms these days and shout "I am not!!" As frustrating as the "do it myself" phase is she is still so sweet and loving! She loves to give hugs and kisses and snuggle. When anyone comes home these days, she runs to us and screams, "you back!! Yay!" She definitely makes you feel loved! <br />
<br />
She...<br />
Sucks her thumb<br />
Takes a two-three hour afternoon nap<br />
Loves the beach<br />
Loves fruit - strawberries, blueberries, bananas, apples, pears<br />
Loves Tacos<br />
Loves Paw Patrol and Bubble Guppies<br />
Loves the color pink<br />
Loves school<br />
Thinks her brother hung the moon<br />
Has all of her teeth<br />
Played in the snow for the first time in Vail<br />
Loved going to Mardi Gras<br />
Likes to pray on our way to school - "Can we talk to God"<br />
Refuses to keep a bow or rubber band in her hair<br />
<br />
Parenting Jane Clare at this moment is a bit of a challenge but I pray she never changes! She has this confidence and free spirit that I could only dream of having and I hope she doesn't lose it, even if it makes my life more difficult!

There's not much singing and dancing going on in this car, mainly just talking. I am amazed daily at Crawford's brain and the number of questions it can produce; I barely have time to answer (or try to answer) one before it's on to a new one! My brain and ears are exhausted but I sure love listening to him learn about this big world around him!<br />
<br />
Here's what I answered this morning during about a two mile drive:<br />
<br />
When can we go in the swamp?<br />
Why do we need the right kind of boat to go in the swamp?<br />
What does beautiful mean?<br />
Is John's the longest neighborhood you know?<br />
How do roller coasters go really fast?<br />
How fast does Poppie's little car go? Like 180?<br />
When can we get a four door jeep?<br />
Did you see that tractor on the road? That's crazy!!<br />
Can you go one mile per hour?<br />
Is anybody behind us?<br />
I'm bigger than that kid, right? How old does he look?<br />
Why is there a bench there? Why is there only one?<br />
Can we hang out here for a bit?<br />
When does Jane Clare...trails off<br />
Is that lipstick or pink paint on your lips?<br />
<br />
Phew!! As exhausting as it can be I love that he want's to know EVERYTHING he possibly can. I pray daily that his teacher this year will have the patience and stamina to continually nourish his little mind! Never change, little boy!! <br />

<br />
Happy 17 Month Birthday to you!! I'm no better at blogging with you than I was for your brother, although I wish I was. Your personality is really starting to show these days...mostly good things, but boy do you like to get your way!! You have just recently begun a love affair with buckling straps on your highchair, car seat and stroller. You spent hours at the beach last month trying, and a few times successfully, hooking the straps on your highchair. This has turned into wanting to do it EVERYWHERE!! It has certainly made getting you in and out quite the challenge! <br />

We spent two weeks at the beach in May and you loved the Gulf, just as much as your brother! And had zero fear running straight into those waves. You also enjoyed walking down the beach and stopping to stare at others on the beach. I never thought you would tan, but you got quite a bit darker while we were there.<br />

Anytime any music comes on you start to dance. This mainly consists of spinning around and around! You have quite the high pitch scream, going. Daddy is praying you learn to tone this down, sooner than later!<br />
<br />
You and Crawford still really love each other, although I am beginning to have to tell y'all to stop taking toys from the other and to be sweet. You want to do everything he is doing, which I think might mean you are going to be a bit of a tom boy, but time will tell. As of right now getting you to keep a bow in your hair, is next to impossible!<br />

I thought from the first year of your life that you wouldn't be as busy as Crawford, but that is not proving to be the case! You are busy, busy, busy! Diaper changes are not very fun right now.<br />
<br />
You still really love your momma, but are warming up to others. <br />
<br />
You still like to eat, but are really loving fruit of any kind right now! Chicken, not so much.<br />
<br />
You can show us where your hair, eyes, nose, mouth, belly, hands and toes are, most of the time.<br />
<br />
You are talking more and more each day. Some of the words you say a lot are:<br />
<br />
da da<br />
mama<br />
nana for nanu<br />
poppa for poppie<br />
hot<br />
dude for juice<br />
nite nite<br />
is it for where is it<br />
me<br />
mine<br />
caw caw for crawford<br />
ga ga for thank you<br />
pank for spank<br />
get it<br />
cup<br />
towel for paper towel or napkin<br />
toes<br />
eyes<br />
<br />
Can't wait to hear what you have to say next!! We love you so much!!<br />

My baby boy is really growing up!! He's now started calling his sister by her real name, Jane Clare, instead of Jane Chair. And now he wants to eat a steak for dinner not a snake. He's still honnrry for pampakes though! Thank goodness all of my favorites aren't gone...just yet!Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-5641359754919484122015-02-19T11:36:00.000-06:002015-02-19T11:36:42.492-06:00Mardi Gras 2015What a fun weekend!! I really was beginning to think I had lost my mind bringing Crawford and Jane Clare to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, but it turned out to be a blast!! Crawford is just like his momma and loves to catch some beads! And boy did he catch. Tinsley said she only dreamed of catching all of the stuffed animals and swords that he caught this weekend. Both kids were amazing despite late nights and short or no naps.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Friday night was pretty low key with dinner at Tommys and a few floats from Hermes on our walk back to the hotel. Saturday morning we got up and headed back to the Windsor Court from Tins'. We hung around the hotel and then watched Iris and Tucks, followed by Endymion. It was wonderful that all of the parades came right in front of the hotel except Endymion. The crew including Crawford, Daddy, Nanu, Poppie, Tin Tin, Ms. Aunt Jean, Uncle Phil and Carter walked over to St. Charles and caught tons and tons of beads. Jane Clare and mom went up to the room for her to get some rest! Tin Tin and Crawford were a hit as they came back with so many fun beads and toys! Our night ended a bit differently than expected... Dave failed to let Tinsley know that he was hit by a car while riding his bike TWELVE hours earlier!! Thank goodness he was still alive, a hurt shoulder and possible broken arm, but still alive! I commend him for not wanting to ruin everyone's fun, but good Lord!<br />

Sunday, we did a lot of fabulous eating! Brunch at Muriels and dinner at Luke! Dinner was especially delicious! In between brunch and dinner we caught more beads at Okeneos and Thoth! Crawford was pretty pooped and getting pretty whiny, but luckily took a power nap on my lap during Thoth...slept straight through the bands and the screaming people! Everyone was pretty tired after dinner but we waited around for Bacchus and caught some beads, but Crawford had had enough...fell asleep on Tin Tin this time. So, we got the car and headed back to Tin Tin and Uncle Dave's for some rest! <br />

I loved Mardi Gras as a kid and am so glad Crawford did too! Jane Clare liked the people watching and dancing to the bands! Mardi Gras 2015 is a wrap! I think we might all be recuperating for a while after so much fun and so many late nights! <br />

<div>
<br /></div>

I am happy to say that as I write this you are doing wonderfully! You're listening and overall behavior has been much improved this year! You have been on green at school all year and have been a really good kid at home too. We started using a magnet chart that Nanu and Poppie got you for Christmas and that seems to be working well. Currently, the areas of focus are: no whining, no bad language (this includes baby talk), bed time routine, keeping hands to yourself, doing homework, pick up toys and saying please and thank you. If you got all but seven magnets each week you get a prize! So far you have gotten to build a bird house and a locker. This week you get to plant your garden with Poppie if you keep up the good work!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are making huge progress at speech therapy and have mastered your K and G sounds. You are back working on your T,D,N and W sounds. It won't be long and we won't be going to "new school" anymore.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I just dropped off your application to Our Lady of Mercy yesterday! It took mom and dad a while to decide which school was going to be best for you, but we finally made a decision and you get to go to the same school as daddy! I can't wait to see what big boy school has in store for you!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are still hilarious and we never know what you might tell or ask us!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are pretty average in size - 3'5'' (60%) and 37 pounds (56%)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You had your first job on January 10th walking "Memmy" for Nanu and Poppie and got paid $2.00. You love to talk about all of the jobs you are going to have when you get older and how much money you will have. You constantly tell us, we won't need to worry, that you'll have enough to share! You are currently saving your money to buy a truck and wood for your building job.<br />
<br />
We sure do love you!!<br />

January 6 - Happy Birthday baby girl!! This last year has been so much fun with you! You are the sweetest baby! You currently have eight teeth, say daddy, night night and no-no! You still love your momma and would much rather be held by her, unless your Nanu is around. You really like her too!! You love to dance when music comes on, generally moving your arms up and down - raise the roof! You love to give hugs to your stuffed animals and sometimes your family! Slobery, open mouth kisses are your specialty. So far, you are very calm and patient and rarely fuss. You play wonderfully by yourself and thankfully you still love your sleep. You sleep about 12 hours at night (7:00 PM - 7:00 AM) and take two 1-2 hour naps a day. <br />
<br />

We gradually switched you off of your formula and you did great! And you made the transition from bottles to sippy cups very easily! Thank goodness! You love your food and eat three meals a day with milk and some water with a splash of apple juice throughout the day. So far, the only thing you don't really like are mashed cauliflower and mashed potatoes! You LOVED your birthday cake!<br />

At your core you are kind hearted, caring and loving and I so hope that you never loose those wonderful qualities that make you, YOU!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You always want to do things as a family</li>
<li>You are constantly telling Jane Clare how pretty she is</li>
<li>When asked who your best friend is, it's usually Jane Clare</li>
<li>You wished (in a fountain in Duke Garden) for Nanu not to be sad about Granny dying</li>
<li>You also wished for Granny</li>
<li>You made Granny a card with tape to bring to her grave</li>
<li>You saved some of your hair, after a haircut, for Tin Tin because a few weeks before, she asked if she could have some of your hair because it was so thick and pretty.</li>
</ul>
You are funny!<br />
<ul>
<li>You told me you thought I was going crazy when I turned up the radio and started singing and clapping</li>
<li>But you love to "crank up" the music in daddy's car and listen "big brother music"</li>
<li>You wish Poppie had a pig at his house</li>
<li>"Oh, Man!" is your saying of choice when something goes wrong right now</li>
<li>And you love to call everyone a silly goose</li>
<li>You call Jane Clare "Jane Chair"</li>
<li>You always want mommy or daddy to tell you a story at bedtime - has to be one from our lives and one you haven't heard, "in a long, long time."</li>
</ul>
You love to help!<br />
<ul>
<li>With Anything</li>
<li>Cook</li>
<li>Sweep</li>
<li>Put diapers in the garbage</li>
<li>Take the garbage out</li>
<li>Put clothes away</li>
</ul>
<br />
You want to be an excavator driver, a bobcat driver, a pressure washer, a digger and a builder right now. You are promising that you are going to build me and daddy our next house. So far you've asked what we want it built out of and what color we want it painted.<br />
<br />
You enjoy your routine. You started speech and occupational therapy this year and that is going well. You are working on your K and G sounds as well as T, D, N and W. You have made great progress since starting in February!!<br />
<br />
Some funny stories I don't want to forget:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>We were talking about big boy school and how you would go when you were almost five and I told you I was going to cry because you are getting too big. Your sweet response, "Mom, that's what happens. Don't cry silly goose; everyone grows up!</li>
<li>One of your favorite subjects to discuss right now is God and heaven - you said you didn't want to go to heaven when you died, you would rather stay in your house because it would be too busy up there...it will be wild with all of those people.</li>
<li>You also wanted to know on a beautiful, sunny day how the people in heaven weren't falling down, since there weren't any clouds to hold them up!</li>
<li>You love to have "sitting time" on daddy's lap before bed time every night! </li>
</ul>
You are one wild and crazy, all boy, sweet, wonderful, handsome four year old! We never knew we could love someone so much!!! Happy Happy Birthday!<br />

I have absolutely no idea how you are already this old. You have been an absolute joy and such a sweet baby! <br />
<br />
You are really getting into a pretty good routine, although bringing your brother to school interferes a little. You sleep twelve plus hours at night and started sleeping through the night at six weeks old (with a few "off" nights along the way). You have started to make your way through fruits and veggies. So far, you have had pears, bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, apples and peas. You took a little warming up to the veggies, but you gobble everything up. This week you'll start getting food for breakfast and dinner!! We waited until you were six months old to start you on food and skipped the rice cereal. You still love your formula and drink four - 8 ounces bottles a day. At your six month check up you were in the 94th percentile for weight (19 pounds) and 75th for height...might be tall like your daddy.<br />

You have already been on an airplane twice...once at Easter to visit Tin Tin and Unc Dave in North Carolina before they moved to New Orleans and then to Anguilla; where you dropped your dream feed! You have also been to WaterColor a few times and made a trip to the aquarium, too!<br />

Your brother still loves you and the feeling is definitely mutual. Although you are an extremely happy baby you don't giggle or laugh a lot, but Crawford can get you going. So sweet! However, he also likes to share his germs with you...working on getting better from your second cold.<br />

I'm happy to say (most days) you are a complete mama's girl!<br />
<br />
Life is about to get even more interesting since you are scooting around like crazy!! You are almost sitting all by yourself, too. What happened to just sitting and not moving for a little while?<br />

We love you so much!! Can you slow down growing just a little?Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-43063769834544398902014-05-05T13:21:00.000-05:002014-05-05T13:21:15.723-05:00Jane Clare Roberts Stolzenthaler<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Life…So it’s been a while and a lot has happened!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The biggest thing is that we had a beautiful
baby girl on Monday, January 6, 2014 at 11:04 AM weighing seven pounds, eight
ounces and 20 inches long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jane Clare
Roberts Stolzenthaler thankfully waited until after Christmas to make her
arrival. I was so worried the baby was going to come on Christmas Eve or Day
and “ruin” it for Crawford and ultimately ruin his or her birthday every
year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully that was not the case
and once Crawford got to see what Santa brought him I was much more excited
about the day and could finally relax a little.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The next week and a half we spent just enjoying the last few moments as
a family of three!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Crawford was so
excited to meet his baby, but I was worried that his excitement would wear off
once attention shifted a little for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m happy to say his excitement and love for his sister has grown into
something I pray continues and lasts throughout their lifetime together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This little girl absolutely could not have
gotten a brother that loves her any more than he does!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has been so wonderful to her from day one…
loves to help change diapers, throw them away, always right there with a
pacifier if she fusses, wants her to sleep with him, tells her how pretty she
is, how she is his best friend, and so many more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And now to see how she loves him is pretty
incredible!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She will just smile and
watch him like no one else is in the room. I am so thankful for both of them
and can’t wait to see the beautiful friendship they form over the years.</span><br />

<br />
How Far Along: 37 Weeks<br />
Total Weight Gain: 20 pounds<br />
Stretch Marks: Not that I can see<br />
Sleep: It hasn't been so great as of late. I am up at least twice during the night and sometimes more, not to mention no position is really comfortable. I can't wait to be able to lay on my back and tummy in the very near future!<br />
Miss Anything: Shaving my legs, putting boots on without assistance, working out<br />
Food Cravings: I really like sweets<br />
Belly Button In or Out: It is certainly trying to become an outie and I now understand why people don't want one!<br />
<br />
Although weight wise I am about the same as I was with Crawford this go round I think my stomach is more narrow but sticks out further. We went for an ultrasound on Tuesday and Baby S #2 looks to be like he/she will be small like Crawford - measures in the 20th and 30th percentile in everything and currently weighs about 5 pounds 11 ounces. All I can say is thank you Jesus that I don't have large babies!! I have absolutely no idea how he or she would fit in there. My stomach feels stretched to the max most of the time and the amount of pain he/she causes in all areas throughout the day is pretty amazing. Kickboxer or gymnast maybe??<br />

<br />
First there was Halloween in the rain! It didn't seem to bother him at all, he was completely covered. Unfortunately since I was told to take it easy a few days earlier I didn't make the trip down the street in the rain, but this "doctor" definitely had a blast!!<br />

Crawford also made the switch to a big boy bed on Halloween and he has done GREAT! He still stays in bed and calls for us when he is ready to wake up - anxious to see how long it lasts. I absolutely love the way his beds came out and will post some pictures when the room is complete.<br />
<br />
The following week Kyle left for a work trip in Houston, it's actually where he is right now. I'll say it again, I was not meant to be a single mom. I have absolutely no idea how they do it! Crawford and I packed up both times and headed to my parents. I have to say I think they are also extremely thankful that I am not a single mom :). Unfortunately I haven't felt the best over the last six weeks, so I physically can't handle Crawford all by myself. This stinker, baby just seems to get comfortable in the worst places!<br />
<br />
Crawford is still so excited for "the baby." We took him to a "Tyke Hyke" class at Woman's Hospital where he promptly said he was having a sister when asked. He then changed his mind in the middle that he wanted a brother. I sure hope he'll be excited brother or sister! The class was great and really showed us what I think we are going to see from him - he's going to want to be right in the middle of everything - no big surprise!<br />

Thanksgiving has come and gone! We had a relatively quite day, thank goodness. Christmas tree and decorations are all put up and now we sit and wait...can't wait to see what life has in store for us as a family of four!<br />

However, after yesterdays doctor's appointment I am supposed to take it easy and get ready. How does that work? No more pilates, limited walking and a maternity belt! I was told if I have more than one contraction to call her office and come in... it's going to be interesting to see if this munchkin has an earlier due date in mind. I hope not too early!!Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-31110734122901674582013-10-14T16:25:00.000-05:002013-10-14T16:25:45.706-05:00Chatter BoxCrawford is talking up a storm and cracks me up constantly! On our way to "school" each morning he asks me to talk. If I ask what about, he says, "no, you pick, momma!" <br />
<br />
A few of our conversations lately:<br />
<br />
Crawford: "How come Poppie told me to slow down?"<br />
Me: "On your tractor," I asked. <br />
Crawford: "Yeah, my daddy lets me go fast!!" <br />
<br />
After Nanu and Poppie left the other night:<br />
<br />
Crawford: "Why sometimes you wave bye-bye to me and Nanu and Poppie give me a bath and put me to bed?"<br />
Me: "Well, because sometimes they babysit you."<br />
Crawford: "Oh, I like it when Nanu and Poppie babysit, not other people!"<br />
<br />
While we were watching the LSU football game this weekend:<br />
<br />
Me: Crawford, are you going to play football when you are a big boy?"<br />
Crawford: Yeah, you going to watch me on TV?<br />
<br />
Oh goodness, not sure this momma has the nerves to watch something like that, but I'm also not sure Crawford has the genes. So I think I might be safe!!<br />
<br />
In other news Baby #2 seems to be doing just dandy! I went for a check-up last week and his/her heart rate was 156. I so wish I could remember what Crawford's was... I think it was usually in the 140's but I really have no idea. I also had to do my glucose test...which I failed. I had to do the three hour test on Thursday, which was really no fun, but thankfully I passed!! I was really looking forward to beignets and Ninfas with Tin Tin and Unc Dave this weekend; so glad I got to enjoy!!Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-43393205185055674692013-10-07T08:21:00.000-05:002013-10-07T08:21:01.661-05:00We Made It... Third TrimesterI can't believe I only have 13 weeks left with this little baby inside of me! I'm definitely getting a little anxious with all of the things that need to be done before then, but somehow it will all get done.<br />
<br />
How Far Along: 27 Weeks<br />
Total Weight Gain: 11 pounds<br />
Maternity Clothes: I wouldn't dream of anything else! <br />
Stretch Marks: So far, so good.<br />
Sleep: Overall, I'm sleeping okay. Seems as though I have an internal alarm clock that goes off around 1:30 every morning, but most of the time I can get back to my dreams pretty quickly.<br />
Miss Anything:<br />
Food Cravings: Nothing really out of the ordinary<br />
Belly Button In or Out: Unfortunately, it looks like I won't get an outie this time around either. Just a long sliver of a belly button... so unattractive!<br />
<br />
I think Crawford is really getting excited about being a big brother! He tells us he is going to help bathe the baby and change diapers, but he wants to make sure we'll be there to help! I usually put him to bed at night, although lately it's been more of a team effort, but he says he's okay if daddy does it when the baby gets here. He got a new book for the baby and reads it to him/her every now and then. I can only pray that the sweet shines through on most days when his world is rocked by "the baby!!"<br />
<br />
We are in the process of getting Crawford's "big boy" room all set up (beds should be delivered and installed tomorrow if it doesn't rain, then they need to be painted.) I'll feel much better when he is situated in his new room and I can start transforming his "old room" to the new baby's room - getting new born clothing from the attic, washed and in it's proper place! With Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, I know these next three months are going to fly by! I'm trying to enjoy each day; if I'm honest it kind of makes me sad when I think it won't just be the three of us anymore. I know I won't be able to imagine life without the four of us soon, just still a little hard to imagine right now!Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-7180344204949154282013-09-23T09:18:00.000-05:002013-09-23T09:18:53.789-05:00What A Week!Our house was plagued with a stomach bug beginning early Wednesday morning! It started with Crawford then moved on to Kyle and then me and then Kyle got it AGAIN!! I pray Crawford and I don't get it again. That was absolutely miserable!! Crawford definitely bounced back faster than his momma and daddy. We are still struggling in the energy department. I literally thought I was on my death bed! I was contemplating not getting the flu shot this year, but this just made my decision. I can't imagine this again and for more than one day! Dear God, please no more stomach bugs at our house for a VERY long time, PLEASE!!<br />

This year I opted not to do the big birthday party; I figured this would be the last year I could get away with it. I'm sorry Crawford, but we did go to the beach for a week instead! And since he is so special, he had two birthday parties, one at the beach with his Nanu, Poppie and Tin Tin and one in Baton Rouge with the Stolzenthaler clan! I think it's safe to say he had fun at both!<br />

Other than two birthday parties a lot has been going on with this little boy! I'm pretty sure it's safe to say he is POTTY TRAINED!! I think I've been in denial the last couple of weeks, but he wore underwear to school yesterday and no accidents!! I think I expected the process to be much more horrific than it really was. Luckily he got the hang of it relatively quickly. He loves all of his new underwear and especially loves to match his daddy!! Such a big boy!<br />

We're also in the process of deciding whether we are going to hold you/him (I never know what tense I want to use to write) back or start Pre-K next year. This has been a very stressful decision and we still haven't made one, but hoping after a screening at St. James next week that will help us decide. Then we just have to decide where you will go to school!<br />
<br />
Below are a few more pictures of the beach trip! It was so nice to be there after the crowds left on Labor Day! He loves to be outside doing anything, but I think for now it's safe to say the water is his happy place - the beach, pool or catching fish!<br />

I go for an ultrasound next week, so praying everything looks good and baby boy or girl is growing like he/she should.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">I'm starting to get nervous about getting everything together. Beds for Crawford's new, big boy room should start getting made in the next couple of weeks which will make me feel a lot better when those are complete! I need to start painting his room, so it will be all ready. Then I can start getting everything ready in the baby's room.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">As for being pregnant, so far so good! I have been so lucky to have such easy pregnancies both times</span>!</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">How Far Along:</span></strong> 19 Weeks<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Total Weight Gain:</span></strong> 5 pounds<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Maternity Clothes:</span></strong> I didn't make it to five months officially, but was able to hold off until about 18 weeks or so before they made their debut, but now I've just embraced them!<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Stretch Marks:</span></strong> Luckily I haven't spotted any more new ones.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Sleep:</span></strong> Last night was the first night I couldn't get comfortable - hip tingling galore! I had to get the extra pillow out for in between my legs and that helped a little. It appears the days of sleeping on my tummy are gone for now. :(<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Miss Anything:</span></strong> Sleeping on my back and turkey sandwiches<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Food Cravings:</span></strong> Coleslaw<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Anything Making you Queasy:</span></strong> Brushing my teeth is making me gag like crazy! I thought the 2nd trimester was supposed to be the easy one! I've had more symptoms now than I did in the first.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Starting to Show:</span></strong> I definitely look pregnant now!<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Belly Button In or Out:</span></strong> Still in.Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-49414039414242615942013-08-01T11:05:00.002-05:002013-08-01T11:05:37.845-05:00Signs of Brotherly LoveCrawford is definitely going to be in shock when he's not the only one in the picture needing attention, but it's moments like the other day that I know what a wonderful, big brother he is going to be. As we were driving home from school, just chit chatting, the following conversation ensued.<br />
<br />
Me: "Crawford, what do you think we should name the baby? We need to have a girls name and a boys name and when mommy goes to the hospital to have the baby we can choose."<br />
<br />
Crawford: Tears started rolling down his face and he says, " Me don't want my baby to go to the hospital. Me be so sad if baby have to go to the hospital."<br />
<br />
Break my heart! I tried to wipe away my tears and explain to him that all mommies and babies have to go to the hospital. I think we are definitely going to have to take one of those tours, so he is a little more comfortable with the idea.<br />
<br />
My little bruiser has such a kind heart!Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-73991636574104075262013-07-11T13:06:00.000-05:002013-07-11T13:06:09.019-05:00Baby Stolzenthaler #2Life is about to get very interesting! Baby S #2 will make it's way into the world sometime in late 2013 or early 2014! I'm already 15 weeks along and have had another wonderful pregnancy, so far. I pray it continues. I'm going to try to answer the same questions every couple of weeks to remind me years later what it was like. I wish I had seen this idea when I was pregnant with Crawford, but...<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">How Far Along:</span></strong> 15 Weeks<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Total Weight Gain:</span></strong> 2 pounds<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Maternity Clothes:</span></strong> I haven't had to put any on just yet, but I know the day is quickly approaching. I was five months before I wore them with Crawford, but don't think I'm going to make it that far with this little guy or gal.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Stretch Marks:</span></strong> Pretty sure I found two new ones in Turks & Caicos. Cocoa butter was purchased yesterday :(<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Sleep:</span></strong> No issues here, yet. I'm still able to sleep on my stomach thank goodness, since my hips start to tingle when I'm on my side. I totally forgot they did this last time!<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Miss Anything:</span></strong> I'm not a huge coke drinker, but would love a Fountain Diet Coke!<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Food Cravings:</span></strong> Nothing really<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Anything Making you Queasy:</span></strong> I've just figured out that too much sweet stuff makes me nauseous.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Starting to Show:</span></strong> My belly is starting to protrude, just a little.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Belly Button In or Out:</span></strong> It's still in, stayed in the whole time with Crawford although I've always wanted an outie.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to see what the remaining 25 weeks have in store for me!Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613120742847801952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348899014114806186.post-53760381977132065652013-07-11T12:50:00.002-05:002013-07-11T12:50:53.153-05:00It's Past TimeCrawford, I'm sorry I've been slacking the last two years on posting updates about your life, but I'm going to try to update the world on what's going on with you and your new baby brother or sister growing in my belly a little more frequently. We'll see... I know that's what I said the last time.<br />
<br />
Crawford, you are 34 months right now and a ton of fun, although listening is certainly not your favorite activity!! We just got back from Turks & Caicos for the 4th of July and I think you spent more time swimming than sleeping. You absolutely love to swim and start lessons on Monday. You already stick your head under water for several seconds and kick those feet, so I can't wait to see what you learn next week.<br />
<br />
You started school full-time in June and I think you are enjoying it. Most mornings you do tell me, "me not gonna cry momma." It breaks my heart, but the teachers say you have a blast with all of your friends - Lincoln, Miles and Luke are who you talk the most about. You are apparently kind of quite at school, which baffles me! You have to give me five hug and kisses each morning right outside your classroom. So sweet!! You're pretty particular and like order, maybe a little OCD - time will tell.<br />
<br />
We love you so much and are having so much fun laughing at all of the new, funny things you say to us:<br />
<ul>
<li>Aww Man!</li>
<li>Who turned the hot on - when we got outside at Whole Foods one afternoon (Louisiana Summers)</li>
<li>Me see pigs at the Farmers Market - when I told you we were going to the Farmer's Market</li>
<li>You give the "cook" a round of applause at dinner and say, "good dinner!"</li>
<li>What you eat for dinner, Tin Tin - pretty much the 1st thing you ask everytime you talk to her</li>
</ul>
Some of your favorites right now:<br />
<ul>
<li>Favorite Color - Orange</li>
<li>Favorite Toys - Firetruck, Memory, Bubbles, Cozy Coupe, Tractor, ANYTHING Outside</li>
<li>Favorite Shows - Jake & The Neverland Pirates, Little Einsteins, Cars</li>
<li>Favorite Foods - Butter Beans, Tacos, Pizza, French Fries (real healthy, I know)</li>
<li>Favorite Treats - Smarties (Ms. Pat treat) & M&M's</li>
</ul>
You are about 36 inches tall and weigh about 32 pounds. Overall, you are a healthy, little boy who is quickly growing in to a big boy, although you tell us, "no not yet!!" Perfectly fine with me!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, I guess I will catch up on what he has been doing for the last six months!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I was making a list I realized he’s been doing a whole lot, maybe my above statement wasn’t a very good excuse.</span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Let me just say he is WILD!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is such a busy body, but such a sweetheart, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The little guy can’t sit still for more than a minute or two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His playroom is always a mess, because he refuses to play with one toy for an extended period of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Twelve months to fourteen/fifteen months were hard for me, he was running around, knew the word no, but not sure what it meant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily, he now knows what no means, but often chooses to ignore it!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I truly don’t think we are bad parents, but sometimes I wonder!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How are we going to get him to listen!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spank his hand, he laughs!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I put him in timeout, he turns his head to the wall, like so what’s the big deal here!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other day I started counting – 1, 2, and he started imitating my fingers!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can I not just laugh?!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I try so hard to hold it in, but sometimes have a hard time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The teacher at MDO told Kyle the other day that he had a great day and was so good, he is always so good!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe we are bad parents!! Or maybe I'm getting what I deserve. I definitely sense a stubborn streak in him and I can't imagine where he might have gotten that from.</span><br />
