Introducing...

Mr. Personality!
When we got a letter home at the beginning of October announcing school picture day in a few weeks, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was hilarious that they even had school picture day in Daycare. John and I discussed what he would wear. John wanted to make sure he looked like a boy, so I agreed that he would not wear a John-John to school on picture day. We went with a navy blue polo and cargo pants. I could not wait to get the proofs back! At the end of October, six proofs came home. One he looked on the verge of tears, a few were cute and he was looking at the camera doing somewhat of a smile...and then there was this one. From the moment I saw it I cracked up because his face honestly portrays how he felt about daycare the first 2 months! I never considered ordering it, though I have to admit it was probably my favorite, until a lady at school gave me some pretty good advice. She said, "Brooke, you are going to pay someone good money to capture good pictures of him that you will put all over your house, but you will never capture this personality like this again. Plus, you have to have good funny ones like this for his rehearsal dinner video!" After that, I was convinced we were making the right decision. His teachers all told me they were glad I ordered this one too...they literally said this was pretty much his main facial expression the ENTIRE first month and a half or so. Thank goodness he loves going now (this morning I put him down and he looked up at me and said BYE BYE)-Progress people!!! So here is our sweet boy at 21 months old...his first school picture!

And while we are on introductions...Introducing Rocky...He/She has already fallen into the role as 2nd child seeing as we had this ultrasound a month ago and the picture is just now debuting on the blog. For those of you who don't know, John decided when we were pregnant with Will that all of our fetus' would be named after former Auburn Football legends (Will was Caddy after Carnell "Cadillac" Williams...you can read about that here). So Rocky comes from Tracy Rocker. I had another doctor appointment today and everything looked good. I am 13.5 weeks. We are set to find out if Rocky is a boy or a girl in January! We are thinking BOY....I feel basically the exact same as I did with Will. While I have had no corn dog cravings, I am craving all things meat and salty....no dessert really which is insane because I am such a sweets person! Most recently, my weirdest cravings have been mayonnaise on sandwiches (I can't even believe I just typed that...I have NEVER eaten mayonnaise!!), fried bologna sandwiches (again, so weird. My grandmother, EE, used to make these for me when I was little and I would visit her in Piedmont-I probably haven't had one since the last time she made one for me...at least 15 years ago), bacon (can't get enough-we eat it every morning for breakfast and BLTs have become a week night regular), guacamole, and potato chips! At our ultrasound appointment, we learned the heartbeat was 182-this was exactly what Will's was at our first ultrasound appointment (both at 9 weeks). I guess time will tell. You can now cast your vote on the right of the blog-tell us what you think Rocky is!
