Can you believe in a few weeks Blaz will be 2? He's growing up and so much fun. Juan has been working a lot these last 2 months. He goes to work at 7am and often isn't done until after 6pm. We miss him, but our savings account was down to $12 this winter, so thank goodness for the extra work!! Juan just got released from the Young Men's 2nd counselor after 2 1/2 years, just freed up his tuesday nights! He hung a punching bag in the garage and has started making wooden toys for Blaz. I am starting to feel better and glad the morning sickness is over. Next week I'm officially halfway through, so that's good. We are really excited for a sweet new baby:)
Here is what's new with Blaz:

We moved his basketball hoop inside for the winter and he plays it ALL DAY long. He shouts "score!!!" whenever he makes it. He likes backing up and even shooting it backwards. Silly.

We raised it higher last week, he's still a really good shot!

Blaz loves to wear daddy's shoes. 2 months ago he spoke his first 3 word sentence, he came up and said "daddy shoes owie" because he'd fallen in them. Now he talks constantly and picks up a new phrase every day.

Another daddy shoes picture.

He loves to help in the kitchen. He sits on the counter or on a bar stool and he helps me stir and pour. He loves to use the electric beaters. This day we made cinnamon rolls, he liked rolling the dough around and licking the frosting.

Every day while I make lunch he likes to sit on the kitchen floor and color. He knows most of his colors (glad he isn't color-blind like Juan, but isn't it only carried through mothers?) and he loves reciting them. He tells you what he draws, usually an airplane, truck, car or lately gloves.

He's been begging to use my markers, but I've been nervous about the mess. We covered the table with paper and had a Marker Day, it was fun. We doodled for a while and he got the marker all over his hands.
Btw, this shirt is his basketball shirt, his favorite. Sometimes he cries when I put it in the washer, lol, and when he gets to pull it out of the washer he clutches it to his chest, lol.
That's what's new!!

You are such a great mom. Always doing something fun.
