Update with no pictures

When does the nesting part of pregnancy start? I remember really liking that part, and having energy to get everything organized and clean. My pregnancy is going really well. I feel good. The baby is so active, even more when I'm trying to fall asleep. We need some good suggestions for boy names. Nothing too different, but nothing too plain either. Anyone heard of a good boy name recently? The ones we have so far are Dylan, Chase, Logan, Davis or Kale. Do any of you like one more than the other out of those?
I've been keeping myself busy lately with a FHE packet group. It will be nice to have a bunch of lessons all ready to use each Monday. Also we've had a family get together at our house and a girls night too, (BTW someone left two movies here, and I don't remember who brought them!) I also started a facebook page and it's so addicting!
Casen Update:
Casen is so fun! He is eating a TON of food!! He will eat anything and everything I place in front of him. He would sit in his high chair all day I think. If I'm eating something he will come up to me and want me to hold him and want whatever I'm eating. Or if I'm in the kitchen and he thinks I'm eating he'll want me to hold him and as soon as I pick him up he will look around on the counters for food then look at my hands to see if I have food in them. It's a good thing he's very active when he's not eating. He does pretty well playing by himself. Today he played for 2 1/2 hours straight while i worked in the office. It was so nice. He kicks and throws the ball around the house, drives the trucks on the mantle and ottomans, and sits and reads books, yes, he sits down and looks through book after book and talks and talks like he's reading, or he'll bring me a book to read to him. I know he just likes the pictures, and doesn't understand the words yet. Its so funny. He's been copying or trying to copy what we say or the noises we make. He said "uh oh" today after I said it to him. He says momma and dadda, and knows to get his ball "ba" when I say to get it. I'll ask him where his "sippy" is and he'll look around for it. He tries to say sippy too and it's so cute. His most favorite thing is to be outside, even if it's just walking around without toys. His 8th tooth just poked through a few days ago. He weighs about 22lbs. I can't believe how fast he has grown. I just love Casen and being his mom. We have so much fun together.

Hey there Alyssa! How are you guys? Thought I would say hello. And...comment on your list of names. I like the first three the best. I really like Chase and Logan. Few others...Grant, Conner, or Nolan. Hope everything else is going good for you all. Tell Darin I said hi.

They grow up so fast!! I just love the name Kale and think it goes great with your last name. It sounds like the name of a professional athlete or something! Ha. I don't know if that's what you're going for, but I like it.

I love the name Kale, and I love how I thought I was reading about Braton when you did the update on Casen.... all but the walking!!

Tiffany said...

I like all those baby names! I especially like Kale...It's not one you hear a lot. And don't worry, I promise we won't steal it...I think we already have ours picked out...or at least we have it narrowed down to two: Sawyer or Madden. :)

i really like kale!! we are having a boy too and names are hard!! we might go with gram but we still have a little while. as for the nesting i feel like its kicking in already but i think i just feel unprepaired with a boy on the way and only girl baby stuff!! casen sounds like hes into all the same stuff as elizabeth(minus the jewlery she loves to wear or the makeup brushes she pretends with) this is a fun age!
