April 2013

After hearing Ayda's sister/brother's heart rate at 160 (4/1/13), 

we had a fun day eating spaghetti and having a snack in the pool.

Ayda's place in Daddy's office.

 Happy Ayda

We have been working on spelling our name. 

Ayda will take chalk and as she doodles her name out, she says each letter. 

She is very close to spelling it correctly. Today she announced it was A-Y-O-DA!

She has the easiest name to go to the tune of B.I.N.G.O.

Ayda worked for an entire hour, but she successfully buckled herself in. 

Someone moved from the training potty to the toilet all by herself.

We can't walk pass a Carousel without Ayda recognizing and wanting to ride!

We ended our trip at Chef Mickey's.

The characters came around during our breakfast.

Ayda loved it all. She gave kisses and hugs to each character.

We jumped into the car to experience one of the more memorable moments in Auburn History.

We saw Aunt B., Uncle Ryan, and Aunt Jill.

Rolling the historical Toomer Oaks one last time before they make a little difference but keep the same tradition.

Today, 4/22/13, we found out we are having a handsome baby boy!

James Embry Hickman's heart beat is 155 bpm.

The technician was able to find what she needed to say that we are having a healthy boy.

We have only 22 ish weeks left to see our sweet (and a little lazy) baby boy!

We made cupcakes that had blue icing in the middle to tell people our big secret. 

18 weeks:

Josh felt James kicking for the first time 4/27/13.

That is 2 weeks before he felt Ayda. 

It's so wonderful to have him home this time and not in Atlanta for school.

We went to see MG and Amy!
