Zach's 2nd Birthday (Go John Deere)

Woo Hoo. Today was a fun day. My friend Zach had his 2nd birthday party today. And the theme was JOHN DEERE. I was super excited about that. I started out at home with the dogs on my feet. Mom was glad I didn't decide to wear them to the party.

Zach had this really cool John Deere tractor that I drove, and drove, and drove. The only thing is... I can't drive. Daddy tried to teach me, but I either kept going in circles or kept running into things (and people).

Then came my favorite part of the party, CUP CAKES. Boy was it good. When I was finished, I was messy. I screamed until Daddy cleaned me up.

Then I went on a big tractor ride outside. Here I am with Aunt Amanda and Zach.

Afterwards, I rode the tractor again with my friend Anna Barrett. Whew, I was exhausted after my busy day.

On another note, Chris and I had our 12 week baby checkup on Thursday. The doctor put the doppler on my stomach, told me to lie back, and we immediately heard a heartbeat that was nice and strong. This baby did so much better than Nick at his 12 week checkup. The little turkey wouldn't stay still long enough for the doctor to listen (surprise, surprise). Hopefully, this is a sign that this new child will be a little calmer than Nick. Here's a picture of me at 12 weeks. I'm beginning to show and grow out of my regular clothes.

I also thought anyone who reads this would get a kick out of my Dad at age 12 when he earned his Eagle Scout award. Go BIG DAN!!
