This seems to be the most popular word in our house these days. The answer to practically every question is, "NO!". It's great. We've also started getting regular temper tantrums. Terrible 2's - here we come!
I really think a lot of it comes from the fact that this child is non stop action all the time. He's been in his crib now for an hour trying to take a nap and I've been hearing, "mommy!" "mommy - where are you?" "mickey mouse" "get out!" " mommy...daddy...grammy...grumpy..." " oh no bear" you get the point. He's become obsessed with the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show now so we have to watch that every morning and he gets very upset when it's time to turn the TV off.
He just talks all the time. His newest word/phrase is: "I did it!" It's pretty cute. He loves to read this dinosaur book at my parent's house but he will only let Grammy read it to him. I tried and Brittany tried and each time he'll stop you after the first page or so and say, "no, grammy do it" and carry the book over to her. My dad has decided that his new nickname is Bam Bam and that he's the strongest baby he's ever seen. He is pretty strong, and he does like to bang things on the table or floor or whatever else will make a loud noise.
He still loves to sing. We've added the Head, Shoulders song to our collection and of course the Mickey Mouse song. He also discovered over the past few days that he likes to build forts with chairs and blankets (and we have to sit in them and laugh) and he likes to play hide and seek. I'll sit on the couch and count and he runs and hides in the guest room and when I start to go find him he runs and closes the door so I can't get in there to "catch" him. It's pretty cute.
Anyway, I know these were all pretty random thoughts, he's just doing so much lately I felt the need to write it all down so I don't forget.

Excuse
So I know I haven't been on here for a while, but I do have an excuse. I just couldn't stand blogging and not announcing our news! We're going to have another baby in August! I wanted to wait until we had an ultrasound and heard a heartbeat and made sure everything was OK, but we got all of that out of the way today so now we can spread the news! We're due August 14th, so I'm about 12 weeks along already and we got some really good pictures of the little guy (or girl?) today that I'll post as soon as I can get them scanned. It's just been hard to give updates on our lives without including that little fact!
So, obviously, we're excited and really happy that everything checked out OK on the ultrasound today. Timothy hasn't really grasped the concept yet, but I'm sure once my belly starts to grow he'll notice some thing's different. He moved up to the 2 & 3 year old class yesterday at church. I thought he had to wait until the new quarter started...well, actually, the "rule" is that you're supposed to wait until the new quarter starts after they turn 2 which would mean that he wouldn't move up there until June even though he turns 2 in April, but I thought they would just let him move with the new quarter in March but no, I found out Wednesday night that the cradle roll teacher had worked some magic and found a way for him to move up sooner. So he's the youngest one in class now instead of the older, but they said he did great on Sunday. All of his friends are in that class so I think it's more fun for him. It's a class full of boys right now, it's so cute. I'm hooked up to my work computer now so as soon as I can download them and get to my home computer, I'll post some pictures of him getting ready for his new class with his new Bible.
Other than fighting exhaustion, nausea, and Brandon being gone for two weeks, it's been a good month. We got about 2 inches of snow last night and we're supposed to get more tonight. It's so pretty, I love the snow. Hopefully it will snow a lot tonight so I can work from home tomorrow and take Timothy out to play in the snow. That's all for now, pray for our new little baby!

Cars and Christmas
I know it's a little late for Christmas, but we've been busy and I haven't felt like typing when I am on the computer, but Timothy's taking a nap and I've cleaned up the house so here I am! We spent Christmas this year in TX, we trade off every year, one year we go down for Thanksgiving, the next for Christmas, you get the idea. I ordered most of our gifts online this year and just had them shipped to Brandon's parent's house. We only had to ship a couple of boxes back too, so not too bad. We were able to be there for the whole week of Christmas and had a good time catching up with family and friends. Timothy discovered how much fun it is to ride on the tractor and woke up every morning asking, "Tractor? Dustin? Papa?"...it was cute. Here are some Christmas pictures.
Back at home, we've been having fun fixing up the new house. I finally decided how I want to do Timothy's big boy room, so as soon as Brandon gets back we're going to get started. We need to replace all the window screens before we can paint so that we can open the windows and then the next step is to paint the trim white and paint the walls and eventually paint his big boy bed. I haven't decided yet if I want to just use the double size bed we have in there or get him bunk beds, but we've got some time to decide I guess.
He has become addicted to the movie Cars. It's a cute movie and all, but when you watch it two or three times a day, it gets a little annoying. He's so cute when he watches it though, he knows when the Disney castle is coming on at the very beginning before the movie starts and he'll yell, "castle!" and sing with the music and then when the little Pixar lamp jumps out he yells, "hoppy, hoppy, hoppy, light!" and then when Lightning McQueen is getting ready to race Timothy sits on the couch chanting, "speed, speed, speed". He can say Lightning McQueen, but it sounds more like Nite Nite the King and he can say Mater, but it sounds weird too.
He will sing more songs with me now too. He'll sing Wheels on the Bus, and Frosty the Snowman, Row Your Boat, Spiderman, Are you Sleeping, and I think that's about it for now. He says "love you" but it sounds like "luh ooo" and whenever we change his diaper he'll say "up we go" when he's done. No progress on the potty yet, the only time he'll go now is when we put him on there, he doesn't tell us he needs to go anymore, but hey, it was good while it lasted. He's such a big boy, he knows how to wash his own hands, he loves to help us with whatever we're doing. Last night he "helped" me empty the dishwasher.
Anyway, that's about it for now, we're just hanging in there trying to survive another week until Brandon gets home. I hate these two week classes. At least it's not during closing so I can get to work late and leave early. Oh well, pray for us!

We're Baaack!
We made it back from TX in one piece...exhausted, but we made it. We had a good Christmas and enjoyed getting to see family and friends. I'm tired right now, and I know pictures are all anyone cares about anyway, so I'll post pictures from Timothy's hair cut and our new house today and when I have more energy I'll post more about Christmas. Brandon leaves tomorrow for two weeks so it might be a while before I have energy again, but we'll see!
