I Love You!

We have recently been trying to teach Than to say "I love you," but he hasn't said it on his own until last night. We were all laying in bad last night and he says "Mommy!" "Yeah?" I Say. "I love you!"--I almost started crying. You can't do these things to a 9-month pregnant woman!

Daddy and Than make Cupcakes!!!

Than has his own tiny whisk that came with his own little (real) cooking set that he got for Christmas. The kit is really cool, since he can use it to actually help us cook. We made cupcakes tonight. I just handed that the cups and he put them in himself! However, he ran out pretty quickly since he left five or six cups together for each cup.The funniest part was when we were putting raspberries at the bottom of the cups. Than would take them all back out and pile them into one cup. We had to put the them back at least 3 times, and the raspberries got pretty mangled in the process.

The Park

One of Than's favorite places to go is the park. He recently has started to understand why swings are fun.

Corn

Than's favorite food: corn on the cob.

FIVE MORE DAYS!!

Emilyne dropped just last night--as I found out waking up with her at the bottom of my stomach in between my legs. So, she's officially ready to come out. Maybe she'll give Mommy a break and decide to come early. :)

Than's Cart

We have recently found a great, cheap grocery store that we are now going to regularly and they happen to have a shopping cart with a car in front (like in this picture). Now, every time we go Than insists on using that cart--even if we're only getting milk. Last time we couldn't find the cart and as we were leaving we noticed someone bringing it in and using it. Than of course, started to chase after it and cry, not understanding that we had to go and it was someone else's turn to use it. Thus, it is officially HIS cart.

New Pictures

We just posted a lot of new photos and hope to do so regularly. Especially since Emilyne is coming in 2.5 weeks!!

Poop

Than: *squat and grunt* "Eeeewwww."
Mom: Are you making a poop?
Than: *grunt* "Nooooooo."

(Every time we change his diaper we say 'eeww' to emphasize the grossness and just because it's cute. Thus, the above scene happened today.)
