River & 20 Weeks Pregnant (1/2 way!)

We went and played in the river last Saturday. We weren't sure how warm it was going to be since it has been in the 80's here but it was great. Everyone loved it, especially Thatch and Max. Murphy was busy doing flyball so she couldn't go.
Max just waded around at first with us holding his hands but then he demanded to be put down. So we stripped him of his clothes and in he went, diaper and all. He has been throwing the loudest tantrums lately, especially in Walmart. We give in sometimes and sometimes we just let him scream. He started slapping us in the face a few weeks ago and we've been working on being 'soft'. The other day he got mad at me, went to slap me in the face, caught himself in time, softly touched my lips, then screamed, and slapped the wall! I almost laughed out loud. Since he got his temper from me, I can't hardly blame him.

Back to the river - He was so filthy afterwards he had to have a bath. He is a water-baby through and through. Any little puddle of water you can't keep him out of. He launches himself out of your arms to get in any pool or tub. Hopefully we'll put up his baby pool soon and he can splash around in that all summer.

I got pretty wet too. I hardly look pregnant in this photo - I love it! (You should see the other picture I didn't post where I'm slightly bent over and look 7 months pregnant :)

20 weeks (and 5 days) pregnant in these pictures. I love Chris. You know why? Because he looks at these pictures, which he took, and the first words out of his mouth are, "You're so pretty."

My cousin posted comparison pictures of her first and second pregnancy. I don't think I really want to know. :)
