no shame

my trustee photographer, carrie was out of town for this week's belly pic...so here i am in all my barely out of bed glory.
bed unmade- check
face unwashed- check
towel hanging on corner of door- check
confused and sleepy look-check

aint no shame in my game!

bear, my ward for the week, has taken to cruising around on top of buddy.
when buddy walks forward, bear walks side to side to keep up. i dont think buddy likes it!

i just realized i hadnt posted my 22 week pic this week, so i hurriedly took one this morning! so it is actually 22 1/2 weeks. the baby is supposedly the size of a papaya right now and weighs right over a pound. it hopefully is growing curly hair a la benson and a small nose a la betsy! its funny because i am hoping it looks like bens and he is hoping it looks like me! however, i like to remind him that when i married him it was with the understanding that we would have some curly haired babies...or else!

there hasnt been too much going on this week. i have been around the house because i am taking care of a 'baby', my neighbor's aussie, bear. it has been pretty entertaining! he quickly figured out the dog door and is trying to keep up with the big kids. i think his favorite activity is to take out every toy out of the toy box...right now there are (counting) 18 (!) dog toys on our main carpet! as soon as i put them up, he brings them all out again.

i had lunch today with my sweet friend hillary. i think the baby likes spicy food because i had a fiery green curry sauce at the thai place and the babe was jumping around wildly afterward.

i am super excited about bumming around this weekend with bens. we have been either out of town or entertaining most weekends recently and next weekend we are going to the arkansas game and the following tuesday i will be in waycross through the weekend for cassie's wedding. so if i could raise a glass, it would be to bumming it up this weekend!
