- Koen loves to eat frozen peas. Nick was giving him some the other day, but Koen acted like he was all done with them. Nick got up to put them away and Koen screams (literally) NOO! Then Nick brought them back over and Koen continued to eat them like candy (yuck).
- Whenever I ask Koen if he wants a brother there is no answer, but if I ask if he wants a sister he will reply "sitta?" Yes like a question.
- If he farts, he tells you. He giggles and then says "fot!" We are so proud of him for that haha
- His new favorite thing to do is grab my flip flops (which I stole from Kristin (sorry about that I meant to give them to mom to take back when she was out here)) and put them on. He usually puts them on the right feet and between the right toes too. It's crazy. Then he walks around for a little with them on all excited like. Then he usually trips and they come off.
- He pulled one of Nick's gargantuan shoes out the other day, stuck his foot in, pulled it out, looked at me and said "gucky" (yucky). I laughed for a while after this. Now he has started saying it with all shoes. He also likes to bring me my heels and try to put them on my feet (usually the wrong ones and upside-down but hey, he's a toddler so who cares. He knows where they go!)
- He has also started saying phrases. Mostly what are you doing or something like that. It comes out "whadodo?" Kristin should be able to know exactly what that sounds like because it's how Kimball says/used to say it.
- He also does really cute things too. My favorite is when he says "daddy? hum?" Which in my mind means when is daddy coming home.
- He wants to brush his own teeth now. Randomly during the day he will lay down in front of me and say "ni ni? bush tee?" Then I have to be the bearer (barer? Caitlyn?) of bad news and tell him it's not time yet.
- He rediscovered his blocks. On the "M" block there is a picture of a mouse and one of a monkey. He looks at the mouse side and says "mickey!" and then the monkey side and says "maky! oo oo!" He knows what monkeys say! Also whenever he sees his blocks he HAS to have that block. The "M" block is his favorite.
- The other day I taught him "Popcorn Popping" and he LOVES it. I sang it to him one time and after that he kept coming up to me and saying "pocco pa! pocco pa!" Popcorn sounds an awful lot like popsicle in Koen words so it took me a few seconds to realize what he was saying to me. Then I sang it again and he tried to do the hand motions of the popcorn popping part. So now whenever he wants me to sing it, he says "pocco pa!" while doing the hand motion so I know what he's talking about.
- We read him the Book of Mormon every night before bed. We got to the part about Jesus in the Americas and decided it was a good time to teach him who Jesus was. I was excited when he started pointing and Jesus in the book and saying "Jees! Jees!" I didn't really think he would recognize Him outside of the book, but much to my surprise he does. We were at a friend's parent's house and they have a picture of Jesus (one by Simon Dewey, love him) and it's sort of a profile shot, but Koen looked at it and got excited and started going "Jees! Jees!" I couldn't believe it! I'm so happy that he knows who Jesus is now. I can't believe he's old enough...it's so crazy.
So I think that is everything and then some that I may or may not have written about before. Nick and I haven't changed much in our lives. We bought me a car this last weekend (finally). It's old but it runs. And it's missing some things and the cd player doesn't work well (haven't told Nick yet) but I don't care. I'm not stuck in the house all day and I can get errands done while Nick is at work! Also, with this pregnancy, it's going better now. I'm gaining weight finally. And, we find out what we're having September 7! That is so soon! And I can't believe I'm almost halfway done with this pregnancy already. I mean, what the heck? I feel like I just found out. Oh well. I'm just excited for this baby to join the real world sometime soon. I can't feel it move yet, but I want my body back. I want to be able to do things again to. Like be motivated to move around and not just feel lazy all day. One good thing coming from this pregnancy though is that I crave fruit like nobody's business. Mostly (only) oranges. I go through a 4 pound bag in less than a week. So today at the store I bought 8 pounds. And they probably won't last me very long. But at least I'm getting my vitamin C right?
