My child loves slimfast

Daniel and I are horrible breakfast eaters. Most of it is my fault. I have a hard time eating when I first wake up, even when I am pregnant, though the first trimester is an exception to that rule. A few years ago Jason and I discovered that Slimfast shakes (the powder kind) are not too bad especially when you add fruit and so that became my breakfast. It is easier for me to drink something than to eat for breakfast. When Daniel started eating meals I tried so hard to eat oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, anything that would get him interested in the first meal of the day. But he soon proved to be like his mom and loves breakfast food but not the time it should be served. He has been taking sips of my shakes for about eight months but wasn't too interested in them until about two weeks ago. I asked Daniel what he wanted for breakfast and he said "shake!" Jason and I looked at each other and thought, hmmm, I guess it can't hurt. Needless to say, he loves them. So now in the mornings I make a shake and half in a big cup and Daniel and I pull out two straws and drink it up. His favorite part is when it is all gone and the straw can make that horrible noise. He laughs and says "all gone...more shake!" It is pretty funny.

I have also decided that my child will probably be horribly injured within the next few weeks. He has discovered that climbing is the hot thing right now. I have watched him launch himself off our recliner, over the couch, off my bed and trying to climb into his crib. Luckily he has not tried to launch himself out of his crib yet. His other favorite thing to do is to move the stool from the bathroom all around the house to play with door knobs and light switches. We came home from the store tonight and he walked over to the kitchen chairs, climbed up on one and then tried to climb on the table. How do you baby proof kitchen chairs?

Daniel has been asking to go see the temple lately. So on Sunday, after naps, we went up to temple square. He ran around and was so excited that there was black water (the reflection pool) and blkue water (the fountian by the visitor center). He also kept showing us the guy with the trumpet. We went into the tabernacle and he wanted to play the organ and kept telling us that he had played the organ at church with mom. It was pretty fun. He keeps telling us about his little temple trip. Hopefully his love for the temple continues.

Eh. Slim fast isn't bad. I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe it is becuase I just get really excited if Anna likes ANYTHING! LOL. I saw on someones blog that they tipped their chairs over whent hey weren't using them so that their kids wouldn't push them around and use them to climb. I don't know how much you would dig that approach though. Sounds like you guys had a fun temple trip!

Sewing Quilts with Daniel

Daniel is not one to sit still very often at all. My parents say that he is totally my son and that I drove my mom crazy too but frankly I can't remember that far back. There is one thing that Daniel loves to help me with, and that is sewing. He loves the machine and loves to sit in my lap as we sew anything. Sometimes I think about just sewing straight lines down my endless supply of fabric because I know he will sit still for awhile. A few months ago I had a good friend show me how to make rag quilts. The first one that Daniel and I sewed together was for my niece Abigale. Then of course I had to make one for my nephew Joshua. Then I decided to make one for Daniel. I was going to make a transportation one, full of trucks and planes and boats, but when I took him to the fabric store, much to my surprise and delight he chose dragons over the airplanes. So we started his quilt last week. He sat on my lap or next to me while we sewed every piece together. He was so excited ...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...

in case you have not heard

Baby Webb #3 is on the way. Here the baby is. We are going to try to be strong and not find out the sex at the ultra sound. So if you have an opinion, about the sex, feel free to share it. I am sure Jason will put a vote up. So far he wants names like "gunner" and "ruby." I told him Gunner might not go so well with Alice and Daniel, but who am I to stop an opinion? Oh wait. I was sick off and on for a few weeks but feel pretty good now. This is the baby at 10 weeks. We are about 13.5 weeks today. Due the end of February. I guess if we are lucky it could be a leap day baby. Daniel saw the baby in the ultra sound and was totally not surprised. His comment was "is that the baby I knew was growing in your tummy?" Alice was disturbed and cried and didn't eat for about two days. Then Daniel reminded me of a few months ago when he heard a voice from heaven telling him we needed another baby. He told me that "heavenly father w...
