A face! (But still no name...)

Well, our perinatologist keeps telling us that everything looks beautiful, so we're still hopeful that I'll be able to avoid a bed rest order this time! It's a relief every four weeks when he says it, so we're just keeping on keeping on and hoping the positivity continues. We just can't wait to meet him! He's a very active little guy, and my belly has been bouncing around both subtly and visibly. It's a little scary to think he's even more active on the inside than Grayson was, given how active on the outside Grayson is these days.

Speaking of Grayson (and speaking, for that matter), he is just a joyful toddler! He's busy-busy all day long with toys, books, the puppies, and art projects along with our many weekly trips to the park to play with friends (whose names he is beginning to learn). His vocabulary has taken off by leaps and bounds, and we can actually have conversations with him now! He's learning to count, starting to sing, and picking up new words and phrases a mile a minute. It's really fun and fulfilling to watch him grow and learn so much each day!

Our perinatologist appointment this morning gave us some great pictures of Baby Boy2's face! He's looking pretty cute, if I do say so. Here's a couple of those shots plus a couple recent pictures of Grayson!
