Full term, trains and water fun!

Well, i am officially "full term" which is very exciting! It seems like it has taken forever to get to this point and it also seems like it has happened suddenly!! Looking forward to meeting little Jack:)
A nearby shopping center has a fun fountain area and live music. Andrew thought it was pretty exciting!
Andrew is very much into his train! It is fun to finally have something that he has gotten into. He spends a lot of the day pushing these trains around the track. So cute! His vocabulary has also suddenly grown these past few weeks. He says ball, balloon, mail, trash, wow, car, cho-cho, and a few more i am forgetting. Here are a few cute things he has done lately:
1. Pulled up Stephen's shirt and pointed to his tummy and said "baby". Usually when we ask Andrew where Jack is he points to his own tummy!
2. He has really gotten into praying. He clasps his hands several times a day and says "pray". We pray about something and then he says "amen". If we pray too long, he starts saying amen several times during the prayer!
3. we taught him please and thank you in sign language. i don't know if he is catching on to the meaning a ton but whenever he wants something he starts viguruosly rubbing his chest or tummy. It is pretty funny! We'll see if it helps his manners later on:)

Rachel, you are glowing with health ;) cannot wait to see that baby Jack!

Andrew is such a cutie - I am sure he knows that by now though, right? Was 'cute' one of the words in his vocab?

Stephen - sorry that I had to cut our conversation short tonight - I am eager to talk to y'all again. I will call you after our trip this weekend :) Love you all!

That is so cute how he tries to shorten the prayers. That's fun to read what new things he's doing. We can't wait to see him again. You look great Rach, by the way!
love,

Lookin' good, Rach! Andrew will be a great big brother. He can teach Jack all about trains. I love that Andrew shortens up the prayers. Too funny.
