The cutest thing ever!

Jack has started to give kisses when you ask him for them. At first he was kissing dolls and books and not his mommy or daddy. Occasionally he would lean over in the morning and give me one while laying in bed, but never when I asked. We were so confused by the book thing, but every once in awhile he would kiss the characters; animal or human. I have a really cute book called Hugs and Kisses that we read together and he gives every farm animal a kiss. Now that he gives kisses more willingly I decided to see if he would kiss my belly. I know he barely has any concept of what is going on with me and what is going to come, but I decided I needed to try and talk about it a little more. The belly is getting in the way ALL of the time. The poor guy can't get comfortable at bed time when we read books, and when I hold him it's only for so long before the back starts to give out.
So one night I decided to see if he would give his little sister a kiss good night when he was giving us kisses good night. I asked him to kiss my belly and he didn't quite get it, so then I had Big Jack kiss my belly to see if he would follow. Sure enough he bent down and gave my belly a kiss. It was the sweetest, most gentle kiss ever! I was almost in tears, I couldn't believe how gentle he was about it. So every night we have our little routine of giving everybody kisses goodnight. I hope he is as gentle with her when she is here. I will try to get a picture of this to show you, but who knows if he will do it under the pressure of a camera.

We had our 32 week appointment last week and it went well. We talked about possible delivery dates since I am most likely having another c-section. It looks like Addison will be born on April 29th. Once I know for sure I will pass it along. That means six weeks from now our new little girl will be joining the crazy Rader-Vasquez families. We can't wait, yet there is so much to get done at home and school to prepare for her.
