Thought about it...

I have been thinking about blogging for a few nights now, but I'm getting really frustrated with Blogger. I wasn't able to post some cute videos I have of Donovan and tonight it wasn't allowing me to upload photos...oh well, I'll just give some general info about Donovan :)

We went to see Docta Jones the other day, and Donovan couldn't have been more excited about it. Seriously, he kept saying, "we get to go to Donovan's doctor." Then he would tell me all about how the doctor would get pictures of his stomach and print them off for us to take home...I had to let him know that only mommy's doctor does that. That didn't disappoint him though, he was still excited. Thankfully he didn't get shots, and got a sucker, so it shouldn't be too hard for him to keep enjoying visits to the doctor...I guess that means we probably shouldn't take him along when his sister has to get shots. Anyway, Donovan is in the 93rd percentile for both weight and height now (38 lbs and 39 3/4 inches), which was actually a little surprising to hear. To me, compared to how fat he was as a baby, he looks so skinny! I knew he was tall, but he isn't chunky at all. He just has a very solid build I guess. They said he looks great and they have no concerns. Of course he was ridiculously adorable and friendly, as always...he is his father's child... The nurses couldn't get enough of him, they kept commenting on all of his adorable features and his cute little personality. He was telling them about Danny and The Dinosaur while we were there and how he wanted to go to the museum to see Indians, Bears, swords, and guns...and dinosaurs (Danny and the Dinosaur is a book, it was a very thoughtful gift from his Aunt Lenna and he loves it). I'm done bragging, just know he's adorable and he won just about everyone over in the office.

Brad and the team left for Rochester, New York early this morning. Donovan and I plan to fill our days up as much as possible so we won't miss him too much. I will also do everything in my power to make sure no naps are taken by Donovan so he'll go to bed every night at 7:30, just like tonight! Otherwise, I may go a little crazy. Today we went to the zoo with our friends, Mindy and Sydney, at around 9:00 am and didn't pull out of the parking lot until 2:00 pm. I didn't realize we had been there so long! It was a little chilly and we got rained on, but we actually went prepared because I watched the news while making my bed (yes mom, I make my bed now! Are you so proud?). I actually really enjoyed the chill in the air and didn't mind the rain at all. It was a welcome change from the nasty, humid, sweltering jungle heat we've been having lately. Even after all that walking at the zoo, Donovan still wanted to go for a little walk after dinner. I kept it short though, after our fiasco of a walk yesterday afternoon...let's just say, we walked for over an hour and a half and I ended up carrying him the last 20-30 minutes up a few hills because he stepped in a big puddle of mud and refused to walk in his dirty shoe ( I wasn't a very nice mom, I told him he was acting like a girl. His response? "I'm not a girl, I'm a little boy. Silly mommy")...he is going to exhaust his poor pregnant mother.

Not much else to report, Donovan keeps me busy! We've started a little one on one preschool with just the 2 of us. He has his shapes and colors down so well that it's boring for him to go over them and he is starting to recognize his letters and numbers. I can usually only get him to sit still for about 20 minutes, but we're working on it!!
