Monkey Number 3

As I mentioned in the last post, we are expecting our third little monkey...and to our surprise, she's a girl who we are going to name Naomi!  I am due the 28th of July so I am hoping for a much cooler summer this year :)  Things are progressing well, she is an active little monkey who seems to be growing right on schedule...which means I am getter bigger everyday, legs are starting to swell and cramp and I bump into everything and always end up with something on my belly by the end of the day!  The joys of pregnancy.  The boys are excited for a new sister.  Isaac is really excited to now be a BIG brother and loves to check in on her by trying to look into my belly button and takes care to cover her up with his blanket when we lay down for naps :)  Peter is taking it in stride, he is going to be my big helper I think.  He asked me the other day if he could hold "baby sister Naomi" when she comes to live with us.  I said of course.  He then asked Can I throw her up in the air?  To which I replied absolutely not! lol He then says but mom, I will catch her I promise.  I am sure you will try I replied but let's leave the throwing to balls....If she survives her brothers she is going to be one tough cookie!

Isaac turns 2!!

So I have been a super slacker lately and just can't seem to find the time or energy to get on here and blog, But to my credit, the month of December we all traded off being sick and then with being pregnant I had no energy the first trimester at all.  To top it off Alan was called as the Elder's Quorum President and then a few months later into the Bishopric so we have all been very busy.  I finally feel like I am getting caught back up on life so I thought I would tackle the task of catching up on this! So I probably won't do all the posts in chronological order but at least it is here :)....

 

In February Isaac turned 2! I can't believe it!  He is such a big boy now, physically and socially.  He is so excited to be a big brother and keeps us laughing when we are not pulling out our hair!

 Dad introduced him to spraying whip cream in his mouth :)  Thanks dad...We had a special breakfast for Isaac because that is his favorite meal of the day, and especially pancakes!  He can eat more than me sometimes!

 We decorated some train cakes at our little playgroup to celebrate his birthday.  The kids loved loading up their little trains with icing and sugary treats.

Isaac mostly loved eating it!
