It is a boy!

It's a boy! Our due date is August 24th. Isaac is excited and proud. I am nervous about a little boy. I know what to expect mostly with a girl. Now we get to learn new things all over again. We do not have a name we are still talking/debating. It will be fun having both!

Toy Kitten

For Janna's birthday she got a stuffed kitten. At first she picked it up hugged it and then just put it back in the box. Yesterday she pulled the cat off of the box and put molly's small leash on it. She pulled the kitten around the house for about a half hour saying good girl and stopping to pet it. She even took it out to go poopy as she calls it. A little bit later she put the kitten in the water table (empty of course) that was inside because it is so cold out still. She started saying bath. She got soap out of her doll bag and a blanket. She gave the kitten a good bath then dryed it off. It was so cute how gentle and how she took great care of the toy kitten.

Swim Class

Janna did a great job as swimming lessons last night. She was a really good girl. She kept her ear plugs in the whole time. The only bad thing was she was sitting on the wall ( her favorite thing) and I was holding her legs and turned around to listen to the teacher and the next thing I know she was crying. She had fallen over and hit her head on the tile, I blame the big hopper head. Within a few minutes she calmed down and was enjoying class again. I felt like a bad mommy have not been able to stop her from tipping over but I know that many more falls will come.

Janna is enjoying the swim lessons so I hope she will have a better time in the pool this summer.

Aaaaah

Janna amazes me everyday. Currently we will be out and about and she will see a letter and say Aaah or Bbb. Today we pulled up to daycare like we have every morning for about two years now, she looked at the sign, and said "A - aaah". She also likes to take Isaac's many books and point out letters. It makes me smile to see her learning and happy.

Tonight we have swimming lessons, I am hoping not to have a tantrum and have to leave early this week.

Happy Birthday Janna!

Hip Hip Hooray Janna is two today!

It is crazy to think two years have gone by so fast. It doesn't seem like long ago I had my little baby under 6 pounds that needed everything. Now Janna is independent and wants to learn to do everything on her own. With in the past year she has learned so much. She is running around, talking in three word phrases, showing emotion (good and bad), eating with forks and spoons on her own, and just generally soaking in everything she can. As parents we have also learned a lot over the past two years. From changing diapers to potty training, determining certain cries to determining a tantrum or a sad child, bottles to spaghetti, cribs to futons(toddler bed), disciplining and saying no, and loving someone more than yourself. One thing has remained consist ant is her love for us. She may show it in different ways now. It was the smile or the pat on the back but now we get hugs and kisses and "love you". It is the greatest feeling in the world to feel loved.

God feels the same way about us. His love is consistent and never ending no matter how much we change or how independent we think we have become. We still need to fall back on him just as a child will always need her parents.
