We thought we'd start our blog off with a bang and announce that we are expecting our second baby in mid-January. We had our first doctor appointment a couple weeks ago and learned that the baby is healthy and growing strong. We're excited for our family to grow by one. This second pregnancy is a bit easier than the first, but I am still experiencing morning sickness- and can't wait for this phase to pass and I am sure Kris feels the same. He has been very helpful. We've decided to let the sex of the baby be a surprise until birth. Hopefully, the doctors and nurses won't let the secret out of the bag.
In other family news, Owen has completed his first swim lessons. We took a two week course with one of his best friends from day-care, Colton, at the Folsom Aquatic Center in early June. Owen really enjoyed it most of the time and learned how to crawl out of the pool on the side wall, sit and slide into the pool, and jump from the edge. He also grew fairly comfortable going under the water and of course, loved to kick and splash. Owen's favorite part of going to the pool was when he was able to go down the small slide that dumped him into the water. He and the other toddlers wanted to do this over and over!
We also just went on a quick over night trip to the coast. We took Owen to the aquarium in Monterey, walked and played along the coast, and drove along the shore to Carmel where we shared a lovely Italian dinner. Owen had a blast and especially loved seeing the seals and birds along the pier and the big sharks at the aquarium.
