New Freckles

Our big girl is getting freckles on her cheeks.



 I just noticed them today.  They are so cute and so Daniel.  I was hoping I could capture them today, but they're pretty faint in the photo.  Oh well.  You can see them if you look very closely.



She's started calling me "moms."  As in...

Moms?  Moms!!!  Where is you???  I want some milk!  Moms?  Oh, there you are!  I need some milk.  Thanks, Moms.

I don't know where she got it, but it's pretty amusing.



Elliot has begun saying, "yeah" with such enthusiasm.  Especially when asked questions like, "Elliot -- did you hit Lucy?"

YEAH!!!  



"That was a sad choice.  I'd like you to go apologize and give her a sweet kiss.  Thank you.  Elliot -- did you go poopoo?"

YEAH!!!!

(inside, I sigh disappointedly)



We spent the afternoon in our new toddler pool.  It was wonderful.  I didn't have to move. 
 

I could just sit in the cool water and play with the kids and hold them on my lap, and it was really lovely. 
 

I'm hoping to spend several more afternoons this way before baby #3 arrives. 



Guess date is a week from tomorrow.

PS -- I passed my big test!!!  Won't have to take it again for 10 years! :)
