The Stuff Dreams are made of!


Monday afternoon I had another check-up on Baby #3. All is going wonderfully, and we were able to see and hear his/her heartbeat. There aren't many things more wonderful than seeing your unborn baby via an ultrasound machine. What was even more precious was that Isabelle saw the screen and hollered "BABY!" and pointed to him/her! All I can think of is how fitting it is that a 2 year old recognizes a baby at 10 weeks gestation as a BABY!


Our little baby has grown so much in just under 4 weeks! We are so grateful for this new creation!

On another happy note-

Remember this post and this post?!

God has given us our DREAM! He's far too kind to us!

Tower

Bellie was having fun building a tower out of all sorts of things. It amazes me the things she comes up with. Poor girl had a little trouble keeping her pants up, too.

Bellie's Popsicle face! This girl loves her treats. She takes after her mother, that's for sure.


Bobby loves to spin the wheels of the doll stroller with his hands.


Bellie got to stay up a little later than normal last night. I enjoyed holding her and she was almost ready to call it a day until Elmo came on.

Somebody's potty training her doll. She tells it that it will get a treat if it goes potty. I tried bribing her with skittles, but that didn't quite work, so I ate them. Ha! Anytime she sits on the potty she always asks for a treat now. Funny girl.












More proof of brother/sister wrestling.











Such a cute little buddy!

Messy

Brother/Sister wrestling has begun! This little area in the kitchen in one of their favorite places to play. They play hide and seek type games there. When one of them comes around the corner, the other one just laughs and laughs. They even take turns being the one to stay in the corner or leave.

On Monday morning, this girl was all about messes! I had a work meeting that we were getting ready for, and just as I was walking out the door I got a message that it had been cancelled. So, I had to make a quick phone call and as I did, this girl managed to dump out a bottle of ginger root pills that my MIL had given me over the weekend (and I hadn't taken out of the diaper bag). Once I got that cleaned up, I noticed Isabelle was hiding. So, what did I find? She had gotten the jar of sugar off the table, opened it, and was eating it by the handful!



I got the sugar put away, and while I was taking care of that, she grabbed the cereal off the table and spilled it all over the living room floor. I'm really glad I have my phone to document this stuff.


This morning, as I was washing dishes she grabbed the brown sugar and dumped it all over the living room floor. She came running to me with two huge chunks of it, and lots of crumbs around her lips and on her hands. *Note to self: Start watching her more closely! Good grief!


Bellie helped me make chocolate chip cookies, and as a treat, I let them lick the beaters. (Don't worry, it was an eggless recipe, so no harm there.) Another Note to Self: Eggless chocolate chip cookies are disgusting. Don't waste your time.


Twice this week, Bellie has taken one of her dolls and put it in Bobby's bed, covered it with his blanket and told it "night-night".
