My life is ever changing, especially with 2 year olds running around the house. Let's start with the boys...
Miles is talking up a storm, he finally broke his silence and is pronouncing words so much better and making real sentences. He is so smart, he knows all his letters and even spelled "HAT" in the bath last night. He doesn't like to count so he says "one, one, one there's three!" He is my water baby. When we go to the neighbourhood pool he wants to jump right in. He is adventuring in the shallow end all by himself and has no problem getting his face wet and going underwater. He loves to read and is starting to fight taking a nap more and more. I think he might stop napping soon and just start reading.
Ben is a chatty Kathy. He is a mocking bird. I have to admit that I lost my temper and said some things that I regret, and of course, Ben picked right up on that and was telling everyone "Mommy hates this bleeep couch!" Oops I am glad it was short lived. We didn't make a big deal of it and he forgot. He knows all his letters, but loves B. He can count to 20 all by himself. He is also starting to play by himself! (finally) He knows his full name and introduces everyone everywhere we go. Walking into the doctors lobby he goes up to everyone and says "I'm Ben and this is Miles and this is Mama and this is Daddy." It is so cute.
Rian is still is school and doing well. He hates it though and wishes it were over. I am still planning to go back to school when he is finished although I am not sure where yet.
And now for the biggest change...we found out in April that we are expecting baby #3 in January. Well, probably December. I am the luckiest pregnant woman ever, this is completely different from the boys. I have had no morning sickness although a little nausea. I just want to sleep and eat all the time. This was completely unexpected, but we couldn't be happier. Of course we are hoping for a girl (which the Chinese gender chart says is true) but will be happy with a healthy baby. I have been craving cheese and eggs, so I have put the vegan lifestyle on hold and keeping steady with just vegetarian until I get the craving under control. I am already doing some extra research in cloth diapers. I used cloth with the boys at home, but used disposables while out. My goal is to use zero disposables on the new baby. (fingers crossed)
Well, that's all my news for now. I will try to update in between naps and snacks. :)
