Lots to say!

In the last week, Adam has decided that he has a lot to tell us all of a sudden! He says "hi" and "bye" in context, he said "more orange" today, and he walks around the house saying, "Go wa-wa (walk) ousside" and goes to get his shoes. He was whining at bedtime today and Brian asked him a bunch of questions about what he wanted to do, and when he asked if he wanted to "go nigh-night", he said "go nigh-night" and was perfectly happy to go to his crib. He now picks up a stool and moves it to a light switch, gets up on the stool and turns the switch on and off. I feel like he's losing a bit more of his baby-hood, which I have mixed feelings about!

Lynsey started swimming lessons on her own this week, and I was a bit choked up when she walked off with the teacher without looking back! She is doing so well - much better than I even thought. Her fear of water seems to have dwindled away to nothing and she is happily cooperating with everything the teacher is asking her to do. She seems very excited that she was "swimming" today (with some help!), so I think it won't be long and she actually will be swimming:).

I guess now might be a good time to let my loyal readers know that I am expecting another baby! I'm 12 weeks now, due February 28th. I have been feeling very good through this pregnancy, and I will give most of the credit to the fact that I've kept up with running. I actually did a 10k night race the other night, quite spontaneously (a friend had an extra race package!) and it was a lot of fun! I ran 9.77k in 58:24, which is on pace to run 10k in under an hour, my goal for the September 10k I'm signed up for. Guess I better make a new goal for that one! How about 59:30:). I have surprised myself at the amount of energy I've been able to muster for these runs - I've had times of nausea and feeling tired, but they have been few and far between. I'm very thankful at how good things have gone so far! Hopefully it keeps up!
