Stairs

Yesterday Evan, who cannot even stand by himself, climbed the stairs. I only let him go up 5 or 6 before I took back down. Well tonight Daddy got to see his new stunt and Robert followed him all the way to the TOP!!! Yep, he's 10 months and climbing stairs. I am not ready for it but he watches what David does and has to keep up.

The Power of a Kiss

So this afternoon David was sitting under the piano and bonked his head. He started rubbing it and I asked "Does Mommy need to kiss it better?" He sits there for a couple seconds and comes over to me and bows his head so I can kiss it better. He then holds it there for a couple of seconds so I can kiss it a few times and give it a good rub to make it feel better. He then went on his way. Now you have to realize David doesn't really like kisses - he tries to get away. He gives kisses but won't except once every few months. I realized how much he loves me and he is still my baby.

Only ONE!!!

So it's interesting Christine asked about multiple babies because just other night Robert joked that I could be pregnant with twins. It wasn't funny because he's gone to work all day. I'm only planning on one and if by some strange miracle it is two - our stake president will really be needing the relief society to help or I would go crazy with Robert gone on Sundays and doing it myself.

We are still making lists of things we need to get done before November and what gets done - gets done.

Due Date

For all of you who are wondering the babies due date is November 7.

stroller derby

David and Evan love to push the strollers around. David is sometimes willing to push Evan around though he usually prefers to push an empty stroller.

General Conference

So I'm wondering how many years it will be before we can listen to conference and get something from it? We were able to get a few talks in, but most were missed.

I have to speak in Sacrament on reverence in our meetings and I am anxious to read the Primary Counselor's talk on reverence. She covered things that I had been thinking about. How do you teach about something that most of the people in our ward have no clue about?

It's Really A BABY!!!

On Wednesday morning I was able to have an ultrasound done of the baby. I was feeling a little bit overwhelmed with the fact that David will have turned 2 a couple of weeks before the baby is born and this means 3 children 2 and under. When the technician showed me the baby (it's only about an inch long) and I could see and hear the heartbeat a feeling of peace and love for my child came over me. It was truly a blessing for Heavenly Father that I was needing.
