January Happenings

It's been a pretty low-key month for us. Nothing major going on-just counting down days until baby girl is born (nope, still no decision for sure on the name!). I've been sewing like crazy during Isaac's naptimes and have made a lot of progress. The blessing gown is done-yes, I even cut off a piece of my wedding dress to put in. I'll take a picture soon-or maybe wait until she's blessed and wearing it to post the pictures. I've also made a couple blankets, a sling, a bath towel with a little hood, and the curtains and bedskirt for the nursery. There's still some things I need to get for the nursery before it's totally finished. Hopefully those purchases/projects will be done this week.

One of Isaac's new favorite things to do is sit at the computer-even if there's nothing really to look at. He also likes to push the buttons on the printer and stuf pens, post-it notes, memory cards, or whatever else he can find in the desk into the printer where the paper is. We took him to a Drake basketball game a couple weeks ago. He didn't like it as much as we were expecting. He liked the game and the blimp they flew around-the noise of the crowd was just a little much at times. He did last until halfway through the second half and then we headed home. He rarely goes a day without wearing a onesie so he was quite excited this day to not have one on so he could easily locate his belly button. Even though every child goes through the "fasinated by belly botton" stage, it's still so cute when it's your own kid. Unfortunately Isaac is sick right now with some mysterious illness. It's just a fever and constant sleepiness/crankiness. We're going on day 4 and hopefully it goes away soon-not only so he can be his happy, crazy little self but because I'm having a baby any time now and things will be crazy enough with a newborn and a healthy toddler-let alone a sicky toddler!
