A quick update and a few pictures...

Scott is 17 months old today and is soooo much fun!  He continues to learn and do new things all the time which is such a joy to watch.  Lately, when Jon gets home from work, he's been asking me if I have any funny Scott stories.  I have no trouble finding a least a few things from the day that made me laugh (even if my laughter had to be hidden from Scott at the time).  I have been slacking on my picture taking these last few weeks, but here are a few...

 


I had a doctor's appointment today, and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat again.  Everything seems to be going well.  I have certainly been more sick with this pregnancy...all day "morning" sickness and frequent vomiting have been the name of the game this time around.  I keep reminding myself that God is growing a baby inside of me and that makes it worth it.  Jon thinks we are having a girl since, "things are already more complicated."  We can honestly say though that we will be happy with either a little boy or girl.  We will find out the gender around the end of December and cannot wait!  My official due date is May 26th. 

Until next time, I leave you with a Scott on-demand smile.  Perhaps I need to stick with the candid shots for awhile longer...

For the past few months, whenever we sit down to eat, Scott immediately goes into this pose.  He's often ready before we are, and it gives us much joy everytime.  He then usually chuckles throughout the prayer.  He must think it is funny to see Daddy and Mommy with their eyes closed.  When we finish, he does his sign for "AGAIN" and wants us to pray repeatedly.  Either he's super spiritual or he's wanting to delay eating his peas for awhile longer!

 

 

As you can see in the picture below, we also seem to be going the opposite direction with the pacifier weaning.  This kid is pretty excited about his newly discovered trick. 

 

These pictures were snapped on a beautiful fall day.  It seems that we had few of these this year and have quickly skipped to winter.  Brrrr!  Stay warm!

Daddy and Mommy have a secret, and after weeks of careful investigation, I think I've finally cracked the case.  This is probably old news to some of you by now.  I seem to be the last one to get any information around here.  In case you haven't heard though...

 
  

Mommy brought home a little black and white picture of my new sibling.  I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but so far, it seems that I got all of the good looks.  This baby needs some work! 

Daddy and Mommy are so excited, and I am too (I think.)

I've been on quite a roll recently.  Or perhaps I should say that the Lord has truly been blessing me with little financial surprises as of late.  The Money Saving Mom and Common Sense With Money websites have provided me with so many helpful tips, deals, coupons, and super freebies!  These sites are excellent resources and are updated often.

From reading these sites, I was referred to the Huggies website.  For some reason, Huggies has been giving away A LOT of prizes- no purchase necessary.  In a short amount of time, I won a $25 gas card, TWO $25 Kohl's gift cards, and a $10 cash card.  I couldn't believe it was true until the prizes began showing up in our mailbox!

Then, I entered a drawing on a different site for a 2010 Zoo Book (which is an excellent coupon savings book).  Guess what?  I won again, and we've already saved quite a bit of money with our book.  There was a $10 off coupon to Kohl's in the Zoo Book this year, and I've already put it to good use!  I have not been one to enter online drawings in the past, thinking that most were scams, but this has made me somewhat of a believer.

On a similar savings note, Scott and I were walking through the Meijer toy aisle playing with and admiring a toy that we could not afford.  Imagine our surprise when the Meijer toy manager walked by and said he'd give me the toy for $15- which was a huge markdown.  I thought for a moment that I was at a garage sale!  "Deal!" I said, and he changed the price sticker for me.  That never happens!  Needless to say, Scott and I BOTH left the store with huge smiles on our faces! 

So now I'm thinking Vegas.  Think the Lord would bless me at the slot machines?  Only kidding, only kidding...

Pictures of our soon-to-be 16 month old...

Pretend Sleeping- Anytime, Anywhere



Makes clean-up time much easier if one simply plays with the toys while in the toy box-



Tunnel Tradition- As kids, my brother and I loved playing in a tunnel at my Grandma Joyce's house.  My parents bought a tunnel for Scott awhile back, and so the tradition lives on.  Within moments of entering his Grandpa & Grandma's house, Scott's usually requesting the tunnel to be pulled out. 

 
 

Pictures dedicated to Uncle Derek & Aunt Maggie-  (Small explanation:  In the first picture, Scott thought that by wearing the shirt, he had to attend the college.  After I assured him that he could still attend Cedarville if it was his heart's desire, he dried his tears and became a true Boiler fan!)




Hugs all around from our neck of the woods-

Awhile back, I had written that I found a $2 Elmo costume at a neighborhood garage sale.  I bought it, washed it (Mom!), and put it in a storage closet for later.  Several weeks ago, I was getting something out of that closet when Scott spotted the lifeless Elmo suit hanging there.  He did his "please" sign repeatedly and pointed at the costume.  Scott made his debut as Elmo that day and has since been requesting to wear his costume almost daily.  It is hilarious to see him run around the house in this suit.  I'm not sure what I've started, but for now, it's pretty funny!:)
