Time flies!

I can't believe we have an eight year old daughter!! What an amazing little girl she has become. She still lives in her own world, and allows us glimpses into it which are fascinating and wonderful. She is developing her talent for music and piano lessons are going very well. She hums constantly, and many times it is her own compositions, which she often runs to the piano to try out. She loves to read, and it's a good thing that she doesn't need as much sleep as other children, since she often stays up late reading with her book light. She is a happy, sunny child and brightens all of our lives with her spirit. Here is her eighth video:

Outsmarted by a two year old...

We I had just gotten out of the pool and was wrapped in a towel. KK had not been swimming but just wandering around the perimeter playing.
KK: I want a towel too!
M: You don't need a towel. You're not wet.
KK walks over to the pool, steps onto the first step, gets out, comes back to me.
KK: Now I'm wet!
D'oh!

Our Baby is 2!

Amen

Maggie "preaching a sermon" in the beautiful little chapel at camp capers, with KK copying her every move.
M: Jesus loved us very much
K: Jesus loved us very much
M: Jesus loved us so much he gave his life.
K: Jesus loved us so much he gave her rice

Funny stuff my kid said today (KK edition)

"I love you sooooo much!" - while hugging a pencil!

To the cat - "I'm playing with Mommy, my best friend!"

To me - STOP!...Oh you already stopped.

Also, random lines of random songs she has sung randomly today (these are sung independently of the rest of the song:
Whenever I go out, the people always shout, there goes *mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble

Rockabye baby in the tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will rock

Old MacDonald has a farm eieio.

 Go to sleep, my little pickaninny, Mother's gonna get you if you don't.

And still nauseous!

Conversation

In the car this morning on the way to drop Kaykay off at the grandparents:
Kaykay: I hear sumpin!
Me: You do?
K: Yesss
M: What is it?
K: It's a man!
M: It is?
K: Yess.... I sink so!

(Mostly) Fruit Salad

We found out that we are expecting baby number four sometime in the middle of November, and since not long after that, I've been posting photos on FB. Not of myself, or the rapidly growing belly wherein grows the baby, but of the fruits and veggies my "What to Expect" app uses to compare the baby's relative size.
It occurred to me today that those FB photos won't last the way blog updates will, so going forward I will post to both.
In order to catch the blog up, here are the photos I've posted to date...

This was posted on December 2, 2011 (7 weeks) and resulted in the nickname "Blueberry" for this baby, which seems to have stuck.

Posted January 2, 2012 (12 weeks) Happy New Year, Blueberry! The year of your birth is here!


Posted January 9, 2012 (13 weeks) One of my favorite fruits!


Posted today, January 16, 2012. Seems to me a peach is bigger than a lemon, but maybe we're talking length here. I hope we're not going backwards!

Mistaken Identity?

Zofia saw this magazine on the newstand the other day and said, "Look, it's Mr. Bean!"
