Thursday is Baby Day!

As of today, Amelia Beth weighs about 6 lbs, 4 0z...and since we don't need her to get any bigger, Dr. DeeDee is gonna induce this Thursday! So...we'll check in at St. Michael's at 6 and HOPEFULLY have her pretty soon afterwards! Please keep us in your prayers and we'll keep you all posted!

Me and 'Melia Beth


So, Mommy and Daddy went to the doctor today. If you don't want to hear about Mommy's cervix, now is the time to stop reading...OK. She's dilated to a 2 and 75% effaced. Next Monday, Doc D.D. will do an ultrasound and then we'll know when Amelia will be borned! As you can see, these are some preggo pics of Mommy...with me. Thanks to Amanda Martin and Rhonda Nanny for my cute Big Sister shirt!


Cakie'isms

These are just some funny Riley Cate moments, not necessarily in the order in which they happened:

She just got a big-girl bed ( a twin size with a guard rail). Sunday morning, after her first night in it, I went in to say good morning and she said "Hi, Buddy!"

In the bathtub, we sing "Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair" from South Pacific. Yesterday morning, she sang, by herself "...and sen him on heh waaay." That would be "and send him on his way."

She likes to sing "Sing a Song" over and over again. And sometimes she adds a few of the other words: simple, loud, etc

Before the big girl bed, she wanted to sleep on her little Disney Princess fold out couch, so she moved around the room more since it was close to the ground. One night at 10 p.m. (after putting her to bed at 8), we went to check on her and she was sitting in Amelia Beth's bouncy seat, all laid back, reading an Olivia book. She just giggled and giggled.

She does a special song and dance when she gets to eat ham and cheese. She just shakes her hinee and sings "ham and cheese ham and cheese" over and over again!

At the Leopard game last Friday night, she kept yelling out and repeating everything on of the football moms yelled: "Be gressive! Get the ball! Get him! Run! Go 12!" Our favorite was after the refs didn't call an obvious penalty on the other team. Football mom yells "It's NOT CHRISTMAS!" Cakie: "It not KISPMAS!"

She loved meeting the mascot. She blew him kisses, held his hand and gave him a knuckle bump.

She told Jason to leave the other day when he tried to lay down with her at naptime.

She loves to yell at our poor dog: "Cheney! Hush!"

Every night at bedtime, she says her prayers: "God, food, prayers, amen." Then she has to name every part of our faces: "Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, hairs"

The other night during a storm she looked out the window and said "Boy, it rainin'!"

She calls Jason any of these names: Daddy, Jason, J, J. Carlton or Brother Jason

I know not all of you will care about these, but I really just want to have them documented for myself. I'll probably post older ones later...just a warning! Also, we're going in for an Amelia Beth check up in a few hours, so we'll let you know how that's going! Last week (35 1/2 weeks) we were dilated (sp?) to almost a two and 50% effaced.

The Fall of Cakie, So Far

OH, the adventures we have at our house! This is me riding my friend Duckie. I even have a little blankie on him for a saddle. Mommy thinks I'm weird.


This is me twirling in the garage after me and Mommy did a painting craft. It took a while to get all the paint off...and even longer to get all the washed off paint out of the bathtub!
This is me and Daddy cheering for Payton the Manning. We also like his brother, but this was a Payton night.
And this is me, Mommy, Daddy, Mamee and Amelia after last week's Leopard's game in Idabel, OK. People think Mommy is crazy for going to out of town games when it's so close to time for Mia to get here (just two weeks!), but Mommy says it's the best place to be because there are always ambulances at ball games!


The Summer of Cakie

First, here's me and Mommy with our friends from Searcy. That's Lauren and her Mommy, Karen. Mommy and Karen took prenatal yoga together and me and Lauren were born exactly two weeks apart and had the same doctor! We had so much fun at Crystal Falls!
At the end of the summer, the Sevier County Fair came to...well, Sevier County. That's where we live. Anyway...my favorite part was the ammals. This is me petting a cow with Papa!
And this is me kissing a goat...ON THE LIPS!

Ok, this was some kind of crazy deal. This lady just took some money from Daddy, let him walk right up to the balloon and pop it, and then I got a new little friend named Fair Monkey. I don't know. This is me and Mamee with Fair Monkey and we're on our way to ride the merry-go-round! That was an adventure in itself! Me and Mommy were on that thing FOREVER because the girl's boyfriend brought her a caramel apple and she ate it VERY slowly while we rode around and around and around and around and around...

This is just a sampling of all the things I've done this summer! I've been busy, what with getting ready for my new sister, so I haven't had a lot of time to blog. Plus, Daddy's picture biz is good so he's ALWAYS working on the 'puter!
