24 weeks pregnant..

 I am 24 weeks this week. I am feeling pretty good, but of course hitting that achy part of pregnancy. There have been a few nights that I haven't slept very well, but other that I am still sleeping like a champ. Our little girl is moving like crazy. It seems like she always moves lots right when I am ready to go to bed. She seems like she sits lower then Ian ever did. Ian was always up in my ribs kicking around. This little girl sits nice and low, and puts lots of pressure on my bladder. My last appointment was last Wednesday, and we scheduled the c-section. Our baby girl's birthday is scheduled for the 28th of March. We are super excited and can't wait to meet our little girl in 3 1/2 months.

19 months..

Ian is 19 months old today. Ahh my baby boy is getting closer and closer to being a 2 year old. I swear he just turned 1.Things Ian has started doing this month are:
-absolutely loves his stuff beaver his dad got him in Canada.
We actually lost it this weekend at Wal-Mart. Matthew and I searched all over the store for it. Luckily we called the next morning and it was in the lost and found.
-Ian loves to eat toast
-loves  to color
-runs around the apartment saying "wo wo wo wo"
-climbs everything still
-will say "horses" once in a while
-Ian's bottom canine teeth have almost popped through
 -loves to pull all his clothes out of his dressers a million times a day
-hates to be contained, this kiddo just wants to run. He is one busy little guy
This makes it super hard go shopping, out to eat or anywhere out in public lately.
Ian boy we sure do love you in all your glory. You  make being a parent fun,  sometimes challenging and the best of times ever.

  I love to check on you before I go to bed. You have the whole crib, but you always sleep sideways. :)

Christmas in Pullman

 We decided to do our little family Christmas early before we leave for Wyoming on Saturday. Our car is always packed full on the way home from Christmas, so to add our own presents is almost impossible. We got Ian a car track this year. When we go to playgroup or nursery that is all he plays with, so it was perfect. He loved it, and has been playing with it all day. Last night we also enjoyed our ward Christmas party. They had yummy food, and Santa visited. Ian hated him of course, but we still got a picture with him. Matthew has a full week of tests this week, and Saturday we are taking off to Wyoming for a few weeks. We are excited to spend Christmas with our families.

Sporting new Christmas church clothes.

Ian's stuffed beaver

When Matthew went to Canada a few months ago he brought back this stuffed beaver for Ian. Matthew actually thought he was buying a teddy bear for him. I noticed one day that it had teeth, and a long tail. Anyways Ian loves his beaver. He gives it kisses, talks to it, sleeps with it, and takes it everywhere he goes. That includes taking it to the store or anytime we leave the house. I tried to leave it the other day, and he threw a fit, so the beaver came with us. I actually think it's cute he drags it everywhere. It's his little friend.

Oh man Ian kind of drools a lot :)
