We went to the parade today. I'm glad it was only a half hour because Isaac lost interest rather quickly. Part of it may have been from poor seats. Luckily, he entertained himself well with a water bottle.
We also pumped up our (new to us) kayak and had a little ride. It doesn't steer all that well, but we had a fun time.
I'm 30 weeks pregnant today! Only 10 weeks left! (This sounds so much better than saying I still have a quarter left to go...that sounds like a long time.)
Currently I'm doing some quilt stuff on the computer, hoping not to throw up due to acid reflux (it just hit me out of the blue), and listening to Ben say "Boing, boing, boing, bonk! bonk! bonk!" while jumping around Minecraft and Isaac laughing like crazy! Isaac also likes to "see moos", and "climb ladder". When there was enough fuel Isaac enjoyed flying up and down. Isaac loves the game, although he doesn't actually do anything during the time he gets to play/watch.
One of Isaac's favorite phrases lately is "What's that?" I am so sick of the question. Half the time he knows the answer and wants us to give us the answer he's thinking of. Of that half, half of the time he screeches/squeals/screams and asks what he just did. A quarter of the time I have no idea what the thing is...like the flap on plastic packaging. The other quarter it's a valid question.
In other news, it's time for us to start teaching him how to put the covers on himself. I don't understand why this is something that we need to teach him, but I'm sick of going over just to adjust his covers.
I retook my glucose test today and passed with flying colors. Ben rewarded me by bringing home a donut!
And here are some pictures from our VA trip, in no particular order...
Isaac with lots of toys. He did an amazing job in the car.
Hanging out. Isaac liked Evelyn, but really just ignored her most of the time.
Goats!
Going on a walk.
Looking at a pretend ant. (We had just seen a big fast one, but he is just looking at tree droppings here.)
Putting together a windmill/
Isaac helped put the nuts on.
Isaac and me.
Petting the goats. Once they realized we didn't have food they ignored us.
A good photo.
Isaac playing his "guitar". There were a few times where Nathan was playing a song on his guitar, Isaac was making noise with his "guitar" and Isaac wanted me to sing a song that he knew. I said no...three different tunes was way too much.
Going to plant onions.
Planting onions.
Clearing rocks.
Being a farmer and surveying the land.
By the rock pile.
Putting up a drawing that Isaac made with Liz.
Looking at the stream. It went under the driveway and Isaac loved running from one side to the other to check out the stream.
Picture time.
Evelyn and me.
Evelyn's first selfie. She isn't sure she likes the word either.
And finally, Isaac's new letter song. We heard this a lot and at the top of his lungs on the ride home.
We arrived home today after a wonderful trip. Isaac cried for about fifteen minutes out of the 24 hour round trip, but it was because he had a dirty diaper...who can blame him?
But he also took a very short nap and cried easily this afternoon. I was also a bit grumpy, so we had a few moments. But after a bit everything evened out again.
However, I am tired. I decided to read in bed and then flurry threw up on the blankets. (She's always smart enough to throw up on the floor.). I called Ben up to help me not because I couldn't deal with the mess but because I didn't know what to do. The only thing I knew is that we should take the blankets off the bed. (We put on the other comforter (duh) and have the big blanket at the foot of the bed as the back up blanket.)
Today we took it rather easy. We went on a few walks around the farm. Nathan and I put together a little windmill. After telling Isaac several times not to touch the blades because they are sharp, Nathan cut himself.
We also sang several songs and Isaac decided that Evelyn's toy giraffe is a guitar too. But he can't sing and play the giraffe because it is too hard.
