It's an Update

I bought Scott a dust buster for an early birthday present.  I couldn't bring myself to give that to him for his actual birthday, but looking back, I think it would have been a great gift.  He loves using his real machine and has come up with many good places that need to be vacuumed.   I guess I've done a good job of leaving many "treasures" for him to find.  That's the kind of mom I am! :)   

 

 We caught Natalie looking at a book in the swing.  She seemed to be quite comfy.  

Scott made a pirate hat and was saying, "ARRRR!" all evening.

He knew he was supposed to close one eye, but this was pretty tricky for him.  

Buddies!  

 

I have heard a lot of good things about the Signing Time videos, so I'm not sure why I waited so long to introduce my kids to them.  We found one at the library and have greatly enjoyed it!  The kids picked up on the signs right away and have been using them.  I've requested more from the library and am looking forward to watching others.  They are signing picnic in the first picture.  I'm not sure what their next sign is, but it looks like they are pretty much on the same page.  

 

On the sign for "FAST" Natalie always feels the need to jump up and run a lap around the kitchen.  Instead of signing this word, she wants to demonstrate what fast really looks like.  

 

Pregnancy update:  All is much better now (hence the reason for another post).  The sickness wasn't THAT bad this time around, but it was there and now it's OVER! :)  I'm at 15 weeks now, and we should be able to find out the gender early next month.  This pregnancy is going to fly...
