Nathaniel's Maternity Pictures

I am so blessed my having amazing friends who love my family. I am just so thankful for Natalie and Melissa. They go above and beyond to show me love, support and are always there. So when Noah turned two and as I am ending my pregnancy with Nathaniel they have been insisting on taking pictures of them and capturing this time in their lives. Not to do me a huge favor which they did but because they wanted to. I am just so thankful for them!
So these are the maternity pictures Melissa took of baby Nate and our family. Excited to fill our family wall and his nursery with these.

Everything is still looking great with the pregnancy. I am 35 weeks now so starting to count down until the day he decides to greet us. I am very excited for us to hold him and even more to see Noah hold his little brother. Noah is starting to get frustrated that baby Nate is in my belly still. He wants him here now! haha
He tells everyone of baby Nate in my belly and anything baby he points to and talks about his little brother. He seems to be ok with moving all his furniture over to the nursery and giving away a lot of his books, blankets ect. We will see how he really likes to share when Nathaniel is here.

Noah's Birthday/Playroom Makeover

On Noah's actual birthday his granny and I took him to the Georgia Aquarium. He was amazed and loved it. He especially liked the jellyfish and all the fishes. He could care less about all the whales? I thought he would go crazy over those. The Dolphin show was great and he was zoomed in the whole time!! You know it's good when it can keep a two year old's attention for 30 min. He liked the Deepo 3D movie. He was confused and thought it was Nemo. I mean he looks like Nemo and  name sounds the same. I'm sure Noah is not the only little one confused about that. I explained it was Nemo's brother-Deepo. haha 

I love having these special memories for him to look back on. I'm sure this will not be our last visit there.

 The diver had some fun with Noah-

 He was showing Noah the shark that wanted a bite of him.

 Ok-so if you have been to this you know you crawl through a 2 foot wide by 2 foot high long tunnel which is you can see through. Yeah I did that with Noah 8 months preggo.

 He thought this one yellow fish was Nemo and was really excited about it.

Ok so yeah I took my little boy to Mary Mac's tea room for his 2nd birthday. haha He loves southern food just like his momma! Here he is trying to show and tell us he is 2:

 Happy birthday buddy!

Our gift to him-his playroom.

Noah's 2nd Birthday Celebration

    So if you know Noah, you know he is obsessed with farms. He loves farm animals, barns and singing Old McDonald day and night. So I gave him what he calls his "EIEIO" birthday party. For some reason now, whenever I tell him to tell people how old he is he says "I'm 2-EIEIO."
    He had a BLAST! We were building up his birthday party for a few days so he was pumped when he woke up. He saw his barn daddy made him in the backyard and got super excited and he could barely get through breakfast after seeing the bounce house (thanks Mrs.Mauk) blown up in the backyard out our window. He was not patient to let us finish setting up and wanted to get to playing right away! "I play now! I play now!"
    My mother in law Trudy came over to play with him while we finished setting up. As always we had wonderful family and friends celebrate his life with us. It means so much to have to see others love your children and invest in their lives. Thanks to my sister and brother in law for bringing the bunnies they were a huge hit with the kiddos!
The Setup:

Fun with Friends and Family:

 Egg Hunt:

 Boy will be boys- they had to get some cornhole in

 We wore the kiddos out!

 Can you tell these two are good friends?!

And of course- cake and icecream!
