Isaac: He's growing up before my very eyes. He has been THRIVING at his gymnastics class at the YMCA. He is learning new skills and is actually doing very well. It's so fun to see him having fun and doing something SO well. :) He has memorized three Bible verses so far, and seems to enjoy the challenge of that. He has also enjoyed learning his sight words and has been having fun putting some of them together to form sentences. A couple of our favorites so far include: "God is my all." and "Isaac is my cat." Some of them are true sight words, while others he still sounds out. It's just so fun to lay out four or five words and have him read an entire sentence back to me!! :) He's learning how to read!! AND he's enjoying it! :)
Naomi: She's definitely showing her two-year-old-ness. :) She is quite possibly the sweetest thing on this planet, however, she has her moments. The latest is that she INSISTS on doing things herself. When I go to change her pull-up or take off her clothes, she'll shriek, "NO, MOMMY! I WILL DO IT BY MYSELF!" This is totally new territory for us. Perhaps it's a second born thing or maybe a girl thing or maybe just a personality thing...but Isaac still doesn't care if we help him get dressed. Pretty funny. We are continuing to encourage her to use her words, as she is definitely prone to crying and whining. She is still SO polite, though...readily apologizing if she hurts someone, and saying please, thank-you, and you're welcome usually without prompting. :) She also just started playing the "you can't see me" game, in which she covers her eyes, then tells you that you can't see her. Pretty funny.
Sarah: We just had our 28-week u/s this week, and are pleased to announce that everything looks WONDERFUL. We've been praying that the placenta would move over the past eight weeks, as it had been partially covering the cervix. It moved and all is clear for delivery (in another 10 weeks or so, of course). :) She looks healthy, but is measuring a bit ahead. Looks like we may be on course for another large baby. :) I am feeling more like I'm 34-36 weeks along, as I am HUGE and feeling VERY worn out these days. We have spent the past several days moving/painting/decorating Isaac and Naomi's new rooms, to make room for #3. :) Naomi will be in a big girl bed for the first time when she switches over to her new room. Both kiddos are super excited about the changes. I'll post pictures once they are completely finished! :)
