Yard Work Saturday

On Saturday my mommy and daddy spent the entire day doing yard work. I helped, of course.

By help, I mean that I played in the dirt, I played with the hose, and I realized that dirt and water makes MUD! Here is where it all happened.

Mud makes a great place to splash and play. Here's the proof on my shoes.

And the proof on my face (this is even after daddy washed my whole face off in the hose because he didn't want all the dirt getting in my eyes).

I played so hard outside all day that my diaper was so full that it pulled my pants down. Mommy told me she was taking the picture above of my back (I think she really wanted to show everyone my cute butt crack though).

Best Buddies

I spent the afternoon at my friend Sam's house playing with him in his pool, sandbox and with his new TRUCK. I'm the designated passenger and Sam is the designated driver. Sam's mommy said "Can't you just picture them driving off in high school?" Mommy agreed. Only she said "here comes trouble." We make a great team!!

Rare Form

Just an update for those not around me every day regarding new words: all of my old words have become new in the last week because I've decided that the best way to talk is to add an "ie" "ee"or a "y" to the end of everything. So, Boulder comes "Bowl-dee" and Mama becomes "mommy", dada "daddy", Nana "Nah-knee", Papa "Pa-pee", ball "ballie", etc.

Some new words though include: "Pie" for Up High, "Boon" for balloon, "Pa-tee" for Party (though this sounds exactly like Potty), "moo" for moon and for the noise a cow makes, "Hot" although I say hot when it's cold too (I just recognize a different sensation), "dak" for dark, "pay" for pray and "body" for nobody and somebody. Mommy calls me a sponge so watch what you say around me :)

My favorite toy as of late is my Mr. Potato Head. Well, that and anything I shouldn't be getting in to. I have also become quite a story teller and get very excited when you understand what I'm saying. I can put together 2+ words to tell you about something...although there is usually a very big pause. For example--"Na-knee" pause for 5 seconds "dak" pause for 5 more seconds "no". To tell you about how I was in a dark room with Nana and it scared me.

Makeup is only for girls?

I got ahold of Mommy's mascara the other day and thought I could try it out. Daddy told me that makeup is only for girls though. Hmm, I thought I looked kinda good. What do you think?

Outside Play

These were taken a few weeks ago but were too cute not to post :) Here I am playing in my backyard with the hose.

Life's Lesson

The other night I took Kadyn to the park to support a friend that was getting baptised with the church. Keep in mind this was a church function.

I put Kadyn on the ground to run around for awhile because he was getting very tired of his stroller. He played football with the woman sitting next to us and flirted with a little girl (a friend of our friend). Then, it was if he couldn't control his energy or excitement and started running in circles. Running and running and running...more and more energy. Out of nowhere he darts over to this little dog and kicked it. Yes, I said KICKED it! Not once, but twice by the time I got over to him.

I was MORTIFIED!! After a few firm no's, several apologies to the dog owner and a timeout, Kadyn was placed back in his stroller for the remainder of the event. It wasn't until he was placed back in his stroller that I finally looked up to survey the damage.

I thought for sure everyone in the park was probably looking at me like I was raising a hooligan. But no, there were just a few sympathetic looks from moms that "have been there."
I don't know if he thought this little dog was the football he was throwing and kicking before, or if he just got too excited (by no means am I justifying what he did). I don't know if my punishment was sufficient or if he's learned his lesson about not kicking dogs (even little ones). However, what I do know is that I'm in trouble with another little boy on the way.

God give me guidance, direction and discernment. Give me patience, love and understanding. God, bless these boys.

Mommy's Belly

Isn't my mommy brave for posting a picture of my little brother? Here she is almost 21 weeks pregnant.

It's a...

Last night Mommy and Daddy dropped me off at my Grammy and Pops house so they could go to a romantic dinner just the two of them. They said they had something to celebrate. When they got home they let me open the box.

Mommy and Daddy went to a really nice restaurant in town and went all out. Over dessert they opened the box to see if I would be having a little brother or a little sister.

It's blue! It's blue! I am going to have a little BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPEE!!!

Mommy and daddy went back to Children's place after their dinner to get me some matching jammies too! The ones I'm holding up are obviously too little for me...is my little brother really going to be that small??!?! Mommy said that she's going to have to brush up on all her sports and start rock climbing since she won't have any tea parties to go to :) Are we excited? You bet! We're going to be the best of friends.

The box

Here's the box mommy and daddy have been teasing me with. This box is just sitting on the counter taunting me.


You see, this isn't just any box. Nope, this box contains the gender of my little sibling.

Huh?

Mommy and daddy went to the ultrasound yesterday and had the tech put the gender in an envelope. They then went to The Children's Place to purchase an outfit for the new baby...they gave the envelope to the clerk along with a little boy outfit and a little girl outfit. The clerk looked in the envelope and put the outfit that fit the baby's gender in the box and hid the other one behind the counter. Mommy and Daddy don't even know what's in the box.
I WANT TO LOOK!!!!!!!! The suspense is killing me.

More importantly, the baby looks great. The baby is also measuring a few days ahead (e.d.d Nov. 18) much to mommy's delight. And just like me, this baby is an active one!!
