Three and a Half

George-o, you're 3.5 and we celebrated with a dinner of your choosing: pancakes and oranges!



It feels like such a long time coming, but the idea of you being 4 in six months makes me ridiculously sentimental.


You started talking so much these past 6 months and we're learning what a funny, dramatic guy we always suspected you were.  When you get mad you tell us we're breaking your heart; when you're happy or excited you say things like "I SUPER happy Mommy!" or "Awww, tanks Mommy, dis make me weally HAPPY", the infamous "dat AWESOME!"; or your hilarious half-assed apology "I sorry Mama" without an ounce of regret.

You're pretty much the snarliest little person in the world, and I adore this about you.

Here's what's been going on these past 6 months:

  • On New Years Day you went from calling Sissy "Two" to "Abi-dale"
  • You love Elena of Avalor but get so mad when we sing the theme song to the tune of "Georgina of Issaquah"
  • Dory, Wishbone, PJ Masks, and Paw Patrol have been the recent favorites (in that order).  Trains are practically a thing of the past, although Talking Gordon had quite the run.
  • You love YouTube videos of kids playing with obscene amounts of toys and usually come away from the shows demanding new toys yourself.  I see nothing positive about "Ryan's Toy Review" šŸ˜’
  • You love watching traffic lights and telling me when I should go or stop.  You typically tell me a red light is now green when you get sick of waiting.  
  • "C'mon lady!!" is another of your backseat driving tactics.
  • Around Christmas you started saying "Dis so nummy in my tummy!" but when we started saying it too, you replied "no!  Santa say that"  (apparently only Santa says this about his cookies at Christmastime..)
  • This has since past, but for a while you insisted that the letter S was a 5, and when singing it the ABCs you would say: "Q R FIVE T U V"  You always said it extra loud to remind us of our error.
  • Speaking of academics, you enjoy counting and usually repeat "14, 14, 14, 14" in an attempt to get more out of something (usually more time to play before we leave somewhere)
  • Also, in the world according to George, three means two "mama, I want free vitamins" as you hold up two fingers and happily receive two.  I'm almost afraid of what you'd say if I actually gave you three šŸ˜‰
  • You hate when people imitate you and roll your eyes so hard they disappear.  If we laugh, you freak out.
  • You would eat your weight in vitamins daily if I let you.  Same goes for fish oil and enzyme chewables.
  • You call all blood and runny noses a bloody nose.
  • Ben is growing on you a bit, but truthfully you could cope in life without him "Ben Ben stinks" is usually what you say about both he and his room šŸ˜  It's not nice, but it is kinna funny.
George, I adore you beyond words.  You are determined, strong willed, adventurous, and adorably stubborn; such a fun mix to parent each day.

Happy 3.5 Georgia Boy.  You are so LOVED!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
