LeJeune Family Blog: January 2010

I figure if I make a commitment to post some pictures and videos at least once a month, maybe I'll be more consistent with this blog! Some of the latest happenings around the house:

I am now 24 weeks pregnant with Baby Boy. He's measuring right on time, but, as I've found out from lots of my friends, your 2nd pregnancy makes you feel much bigger than the first! I totally agree! He's very active and kicks quite a bit. We just hope he stays put for a while longer! We're in the process of fixing up a Big Girl room for Emily upstairs. She's already jumped on her big girl bed, so we hope she's going to like it!

Since Emily is changing so fast, I've decided to try and do a better job of writing down some her of her fun personality traits and sayings. She makes us laugh constantly!

We are slowly working on potty training. To be honest, we're not rushing it, since we know she'll probably regress once the baby comes in May, but daycare also works on it too, so why not? These days, she actually poops on the potty more than pees, but that's only about 2 or 3 times a week, but 2 or 3 less poopy diapers to change is a victory in Mommy and Daddy's book!

Also coming few and far between these days are kisses :( We ask for a kiss, and we get a very curt, "No." Luckily, we figured out that Emily is always willing to give "noseys" or eskimo kisses, so we'll take those!

Now that she's getting older, we know she's going to be asking about a ba-zillion questions. Her first official one is, "What doin'?" She actually scared the bejeezus out of her teacher, Mrs. Thomas, at daycare a couple weeks ago. Her teacher had her back turned to Emily during naptime and hadn't seen Emily wake up. All of a sudden, she hears,
"What doin', Thomas?"

For those of you who saw her at Christmas, you know the child can talk! I've written down some words she says pretty often that we'd like to call Emily-ese:

Dub-buh-boo = "W"

sah-shees = "sunglasses"

go-gurt = "yogurt"

cake-cake = "cupcake" (one of her favorites)

bean geens = "green beans" (also one of her favorites)
