Recently...

So, it's been a while since I posted.  A lot has happened and not a lot has happened, ya know?

First things first: 

This little munchkin is speaking like a mad woman.  It's a little alarming that I can carry on a full blown conversation with a child who is not even 2.  What will life be like 10 years from now?  Lord help me.

Examples:

Me: Reese, you want to read a book?

Reese: No mommy, I ride bicycle.

Me: What do you want for dinner?

Reese: How bout 'roni and cheese?

Me: We don't have any macaroni.

Reese: Ok.  Chicken and rice pweeeeease.

Me: Good morning Reese.

Reese: Hey Mommy.  How doin?

Mommy: I'm fine, how are you doing?

Reese: Reese good.

Me: Did you have fun today?

Reese: Reese play Emma

Me: What did you and Emma do?

Reese: Color

Do you see what I mean?  Absurd.

I will say, she has a tendency to have the MY WORLD IS ENDING BECAUSE I CAN'T GET WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!!! attitude right now.  I can't help but laugh at the drama that surrounds being 21 months. 

She says all kinds of really adorable things right now, most of which I can't think of, but here are a few:

"I hear funder"  ::  anytime something loud happens outside.

"I's alright"  ::  whenever she's hurt and someone kisses it to make it better.

"No whining/crying"  ::  usually she says this while she actually is crying or whining, which kind of defeats the purpose.
She calls a monkey "bunkey" and a lizard "wizdard".  Tonight she saw the Geico commercial and said "I see wizdard on TB"

When she's looking for someone or something, she says "Babs, where are yoooooooooooooooooou?" or "book, where are yoooooooooooou?"

She has become a lot more affectionate.  She likes to give "biiiiiiig hugs" and "tisses"

She loves to talk on the phone, but not if there really is someone on the phone.  She gets stage fright.  Normally, she picks up my phone and says "Reese talk Noah on phone."  She almost always talks to Noah or Scott or her Daddy.

For some reason, when I talk to my mom on the phone and put it to Reese's ear, she thinks it's my Aunt Susan.  No idea why, although I'm sure Susan loves to hear that :)

She has a great photographic memory.  She knows who almost all her extended family is, including MY aunts and uncles.  She points everyone's picture out.  She also knows exactly where certain things are in a book that she likes.

She knows the words to a lot of songs now: "Twinkle twinkle", "Jesus loves me", "My God is so big", "Jingle Bells", "Rock a bye Baby", "B-I-N-G-O", "The Wheels on the Bus"...I'm sure there are others.

I know this age has it's frustrations, but it's also filled with so many laughs and lots of joy!!!

Speaking of JOY, look who's sweet little face I saw today! 

Isn't modern medicine amazing?  I have another pic where you can see hair on his little {BIG} head!  I saw him yawn and have the hiccups and smack his cute little lips!

He's measuring right on track at 4 lbs. 5 ozs.  We are still set to deliver by 39 weeks.

That's only 5-6 more weeks!!!!!
