Ladies and Gentlemen

We are watching The Little Rascals and they just had the carnival scene. So, then The Boy gets up on one of the steps stools and says (with a rolled piece of paper as a megaphone)
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Ladies and Gentlemen! Go away!"

Spring 2009 Photoshoot Part 3 & Update

I figured I haven't updated about the family for a while so I thought I would do that now. Also here are some more of the many wonderful pictures from Nauvoo.

G4 is over a year old now (pictures from the day at the zoo and her party to come eventually). She is walking all over the place and saying more and more words everyday. Today she said something that sounded exactly like "Where'd it go?" while hiding her sippy cup under the pillow on the couch. It was so cute. She knows she adorable and absolutely uses that to her advantage. She still sleeps with me, which with Matt on 3rd shift I really do like. She is still nursing every couple/few hours. She has five teeth with the sixth one working on coming through. G4 is really starting to love helping out: unloading the dishwasher, throwing things away, putting toys in the basket, etc. She also loves to color. She also cheers for everyone when they use the toilet. We just love having her be a part of our family.

G3 is getting so smart. She knows most of her ABCs in order. She can correctly name most colors. We are working on numbers.
We have been working on potty training. If G3 is in "big girl underwear" (real underwear) she will not go in and use the toilet but will instead just go where-ever she is. If she is in "baby underwear" (Pull-Ups) she will go in and go almost every time. It is very strange and really confuses me.
I can almost always count on G3 to cuddle with me. But she is almost my most ornery one. Mom says it's because she is just like I was. I'm not sure what that is really supposed to mean?!? She is the most clumsy and the most fearless of them all. Which really is not a good combination. Poor girl seems to be always getting hurt. But she is quick to brush it off. We feel so blessed to have her wonderful spirit to love.
G2 is a little stinker. I'm never really sure when I'm going to get "Happy G2" or "Cranky G2." I'm pretty sure she gets that from her mother. She is so lovable though.
G2 loves to twirl around like a "princess." She has a wonderful imagination. She loves to follow her Bubby around learning things from him (which isn't always good!).
She is so smart too. She is more into numbers than letters. Colors are going okay too.
As far as potty training goes, she is doing pretty well. Nighttime and naps haven't even been attempted really yet. G2 is pretty much day-trained. Except now I got some "Princess baby underwear" so she insists that she has to wear those and not her "big girl underwear." She also will not go in a toilet that is not at home (also gets that from her mother).
G2 is a drama queen. Every bump, bruise, scab, etc is the end of the world and she must have a band-aid for it ASAP (although she rarely gets a band-aid for most things). Once she had a scar (pretty sure she still has it) and for a month or longer she went on and on and on about it telling me multiple times a day that she needed a band-aid for it.
G2 brings so much joy into our lives every day.
G1 is amazing. He is so stinkin' smart. Almost too smart for my own good. He is always trying to learn. Sometimes I don't feel adequate enough to teach him all he desires know. I know that this is when and why he acts out. He is totally a boy and I feel kind of bad that he doesn't have other boys to interact with frequently.
G1 will start pre-school in the fall. I think it will be really great for all of us to get that little break. He will also be 4 in just a couple weeks.
We have been having trouble with him and going potty the past week or so. Since we are potty training G2 and G3 I think he is feeling left out. So he has started pooping in his underwear again. ARGH! We are trying hard to praise him when he actually goes in the toilet.
We are so happy to have this little bugger in our family. He really is a lot of fun.
Matt is still on third shift. We don't really like it. But he still has a job so that's good. I'm not sure there is anything new with him (is there ever?).
I am still extremely stressed out and overwhelmed. I am thinking about applying for a job at stores in town. I really really do not want to go to work but I need a break from this house and it would be nice to have some extra income.
I finally got Matt and I a doctor here in town. I go see him for the first time next Friday (just to meet him) and then Matt will go see him the following Monday.

I'm sure I missed some important things to update but oh well.

Answer

Matt's probably going to hate that I posted this picture but I love it. This is from when G1 was about 6 months old.
As I was looking through the disk of pictures that have G1's first year on it I was amazed at how much younger Matt and I looked. I mean we were young, we are still young, but man we looked REALLY REALLY young, especially Matt.

Spring 2009 Photoshoot Part 2










1-year check-up

Today was G4's 1-year check-up.

She weighs 17 lbs 11 oz and is 29 inches tall.

Doctor thinks she is doing great.

She had one immunization today. She hated it.

Doctor gave her a Popsicle (one of those Pop-Ice kind). She liked that. She didn't actually eat it, just gnawed on the plastic it was in.

Then we went up to the next floor in the office building to get her blood drawn to test for lead. She hated that even more.

She was asleep before we got back home.

Now G4 is napping with Daddy (who is getting his sleep for the day).

The Ucky Show


I have decided that The Boy watched Pipeline at least one too many times this year.

He has started walking around singing the theme song to SpongeBob.

SpongeBob is NOT allowed in my house in any way shape or form.

I detest the show. I think it is one of the worst shows ever to have been produced. If I had it my way SpongeBob would never be aired again and all SpongeBob paraphernalia would be burned.

The theme song is kind of catchy and sticks in my head for forever after I hear it. I hate it!

In our home this show is known as "The Ucky Show." This is where my son first learned what "not allowed" means.

Today G1 had a couple spatulas and was trying to play it while singing it.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
