Kason turned 17-months old this week! He is getting quite
the personality. He is still sleeping
great, falling asleep in his crib by himself and sleeping from 9-6ish. He takes about an 1 ½ nap in the afternoon
and is quite ornery when he is shorted on his nap. He eats all day, never a lot, but loves to
take a bite, play and come back for more.
He is not very good at sitting and eating for a whole meal yet. He loves to help Dad do homework on the
computer and type when he’s not supposed to.
He likes to play the piano too; Kolt has been playing quite a bit more
lately, and Kason loves to sit and play with him. His new words are baby, hi, help, sorry, Santa,
and Ho-Ho-Ho. His favorite word is
Uh-oh. He loves to throw things or knock things over and then say Uh-oh. It’s turned into quite a fun game for him! He
loves to give my belly hugs and kisses when we ask him where his baby sister
is. He loves playing with his trucks and
animals and has enjoyed the nice weather, so he can play outside with Dad.
Baby girl is doing
great! At our doctor’s appointment this week, I found out I am already dilated
to a 3, almost 4 which is exciting! I am going to be induced on December 22nd,
if baby isn’t born before then. We are
so excited to have this baby girl here with us for Christmas. She is growing like a weed, and his heartbeat
sounds great. She is quite wiggly, but
is slowing down because there is just not enough room in my belly anymore! I’m
also starting to feel better from my streak of morning sickness which is great
news. When I was pregnant with Kason, my
craving was carrots, and I have found out that carrots are not the magic food
for this little girl!
Monday was month end
for me at work, so my mom and I spent the whole day in the office. Kolt only has 1 class on Mondays, so he was
able to have him all day, and I kept him with me at the office during his
class. After work, we decorated the
house for Christmas including putting up 2 trees. The next morning Kason woke up and walked
over to the tree, held up his hand, and said “No-no”. It was quite funny, and we really thought he
learned his lesson. However, over the
week, it has turned into just saying “No-no” while swatting at one of the
ornaments to knock it off. It could be a long December!
Kason and I were back at choir this week. It has been fun practicing the Christmas
songs. I have turned into quite the
acrobat, being ready to play while wrestling Kason or pulling out snacks for
Kason between notes. I am going to miss
doing that after the baby is born.
Tuesday night we did Play-Dough Footprint ornaments with
Nathan and Brooke. The kids though it
was pretty fun, although they might be heavy enough to pull over the Christmas
tree. It’s fun to try new things though.
Those 3 kids have some big feet! Kolt played basketball with Rope in the
evening out to the Milo church house. Kolt
has also been diligence about doing a T25 workout every day. Kason thinks he’s pretty cool when he can
jump around like Dad when he is working out.
In the evenings, we
have been doing a Christmas advent calendar from Grandpa Piquet during our
scripture study. We started on the 3rd,
so that night we got to open 3 chocolates and eat them. Kason can’t figure out why we don’t do 3
candies every night. He loves it! I’ve
also been working hard to get presents wrapped.
I am getting really close!
On Thursday, I gave my cousin Lacey a piano lesson. She is a
great piano player and really motivated to keep moving along in her books. After the lesson, Kolt and I went grocery
shopping. Kason spent the evening with
Grandma & Grandpa Piquet. He loves
Grandma’s Day! On the way home from Grandma’s Day, we stopped by the Belnap
Christmas Light Show. He loved it!
Friday evening we went to Brand’s basketball game at
Bonneville. They played a tough game
against Twin Falls. It is amazing to me
how much Brand and the rest of the team have improved since last year. They played really well, but lost by
10ish. Kason went with Grandpa &
Grandma Lindley to the live nativity at the church by the temple. They really enjoyed it. Afterwards, they dropped Kason off at the
school and the 3 of us went to the varsity game. We had a blast sitting by Makayla and
visiting with the Keck’s. It’s always a
good day when Makayla is in town!
Saturday was a pretty uneventful day full of playing outside
in the sunshine and doing some things around the house. This Sunday was my first day of my “maternity
leave” from playing the organ. I’m very
grateful for an awesome sub, who’s going to play the next few months for
me. It was nice to sit by Kolt and Kason
during Sacrament Meeting. Kason attempted
nursery again yesterday. He made it 5
minutes before he noticed I was gone. He
plays great as long as I sit in the corner. We had a great Relief Society lesson about
Selective Obedience. It was even better
with Makayla there also! We had a good dinner with the Lindley’s and enjoyed
watching the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. Kason thought he was pretty cool riding on
the back of the rocking horse with Nathan.
