It's true.

I am pregnant. This picture proves it (isn't the baby cute?). The baby's expected arrival date is September 25. So I'm about 15 weeks along. I've been feeling ok. Tired and a little sick, but nothing too bad. We're excited for the new baby!

I'm ready....

To be a big brother!

Jordan, Pizza, Stool, Christmas Pajamas, Christmas tree Jack

Cute Jordan

Jordan loves eating. He pretty much loves everything we put in front of him. He really loves pizza (which is what he's eating in the picture). He also eats a lot. When he wants more food he throws his plate onto the table so we can put more food on it. When he's done he usually throws it on the floor along with any food left on it. Then he throws any food on his tray on the ground.

We bough Jackson this stool last week so he could reach the sink and wash his hand. Before he would get on his little stool and would have to climb half way on the counter just to turn the water on and then would sometimes get stuck on the way back down. So I wanted to get him a stool so that he could go to the bathroom by himself then wash his hands by himself. He loves it. The first day he used it, I was putting Jordan to bed and when I went to get Jack he was so happy because of his stool. He said "I'm so big!" I agreed with him, and he said "No, on my stool I'm so big!" It was cute how happy it made him. He loves to get drink from the sink now too.

I bought Jordan these cute jammies last week. They were only a 1.99 so even though they're Christmas ones I bought them. And now I love them. He looks so cute in them.

After Jack finished getting into his pajamas tonight I realized that he too is in Christmas jammies tonight. I guess we like to spread the Christmas spirit all throughout the year. Before I took this picture I told Jack to be a tree. So this is a picture of Jack being a tree.

Welch's Material?

There's a young women in our ward that often tells me that Jackson is so cute he should be on a Welch's Juice commercial. You know the one where they have a cute kids saying they like the juice... Well I decided to test out her theory. But not with juice. We used Lucky Charms.

What do you think? Does he have a future as a commercial kid? :)

A girlfriend for Jack?

Today I taught preschool for my sister since she is out of town. I left Jordan with my friend (and he did good, I was nervous leaving him since I haven't left him with anyone other than family, but he didn't cry much... It's a good thing he loves his binky:)) but I brought Jackson with me. He did pretty good. He was a little overwhelmed by everyone sometimes and followed his cousin around a lot. But during the play time (which would be outside time if it wasn't raining) a little girl kept following Jack around and kept picking him up. I kept telling her to not pick him up and she would put him down, but after a few minutes she would pick him up again. She was the snack helper and Jack wanted to help her so she let him. Then after they set things upt for snack she kept picking him up still. Then at snack time he ended up sitting by her and she was nice to him and gave him some of his m&m's that had fallen off his napkin. And then I looked over and she kissed him on the side of his head. Then at the project time after I told the kids to go sit down at the tables, Jack said he wanted to sit by her. I guess he liked her too.

And here's a funny story: Today I was getting Jack into bed for his nap and he ran away from me when I was grabbing a diaper. He went over to the corner of his room and was rubbing his back on the wall and said he was scratching his back. I thought it was so funny. I asked him where he learned that and he said Baloo (from Jungle Book)... That's where I figured he learned it.

Doctor's Visit

We took Jordan to the doctor today. Here's his stats:
height: 31 inches, 97%
weight: 22 lb 6 oz, 50
head: 19 inches (I don't know the percentile for this, but Id say it's on the larger side...)

Swimming

We went to an indoor water park type place last night. We tried to go on Saturday but it wasn't free swim so we had to go home. Jackson was really sad and cried. But was really excited to go yesterday. The place has a lot of shallow water and little kid slides and a big kid slides and a river and some deeper water, but the deepest water was only 4.5 feet I think. Jackson had a lot fun. Both he and Jordan aren't at all adventurous in the water. Jack wouldn't jump in unles he was holding my hand, even in the 2 feet deep water. He would barely walk away from the wall. Jordan wanted to be held the pretty much the whole time, although he he did crawl for a few seconds. I thought he would be more daring in the water. I prefer my kids to be cautious in the water though. Overall we had a fun time. It was a little expensive I think though. I thought it was going to be a little cheaper. We need to find a cheap place to swim.

Jackson holding onto the wall. The water was shallow enough he could walk in it. He just didn't want to.
