Jared got a stuffed horse from his Grandparents, and it has rightfully joined its place among the Super Friends. There's Lovey ("Ya-ya"), Seahorse ("Neigh-neigh"), and Horse (also "Neigh-neigh"). We were trying to get a different name for the horse, but Jared insisted on Neigh-neigh.
Jared started using a pillow in his crib. At first, I was reluctant about the pillow, since it would be more height for an escape attempt, but he uses it properly (so far). I hope this is step 1 to learn proper sleeping, so we can move him into a big boy bed. He's never slept in bed with us, so whenever he's in a bed, he thinks it's playtime.
I totally cleaned up at a multi-family yard sale. I actually had to come home to empty my car and get more money! (Steve was obviously not pleased with this.) Some of the best items I picked up: a double-stroller, a baby carrier sling, 2 ride on toys for Jared, a mini-playhouse for Jared with a slide, a diaper pail, a hot dog costume for the new baby, and two Christmas light up reindeer for our yard. It was awesome, and all in the field at the church across the street!
I am now 26+ weeks pregnant. Thankfully, I am carrying small again, but I definitely feel pregnant. If I am wearing one of my regular t-shirts, people don't even know that I'm pregnant. I'm having the usual sleeping problems, but I think that I am giving off some hormone or something that the bugs love. I go outside and get attacked! I foresee this being a long, hot, humid, and buggy summer.
Steve and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary by taking Jared out to a nice Chinese restaurant. Then on Saturday, Steve's parents came down to watch Jared so we could go out. We went out with friends tailgating, then to the DC United (pro-soccer) game. On the way home, we stopped at Friendly's for sundaes, which were so good. :) The Grandparents watched Jared the next morning too, and I slept in until 9:45! I don't think that I've slept that late since Jared was born. I still ended up taking a nap too, so I must have been really wiped out.
