Just wanted to share.....

an awesome site.....it is a 24 week "curriculum" to do with your toddler from 13-24 months. It is nothing real intense but just some ideas of learning activities to do with your toddler. I won't be doing all of them....like the second language part but there are some good ideas nonetheless! http://www.letteroftheweek.com/nursery_age_1.html

Talking and reader request

Israel is starting to say more words....it is so cute to hear him try and say things. He can say mommy now instead of mama. He also has complete conversations with me using his hands in complete baby lingo....it is so funny! He acts like he knows exactly what he is talking about....who knows maybe he does...lol!

Israel is fascinated with the mower....the other day Jer was mowing and I kept saying "Daddy is mowing"....he started saying mowing.....he got it out very clearly quite a few times, but sometimes he says "boween". This morning Jer was gone for work before Israel got up and he kept talking about his dada and pointing outside then he said "dada moween" as he pointed outside.....I was pretty impressed that he put two words together like that. I am so amazed at how smart little kids are....God sure knows what he is doing when he creates us.

Now to change the subject......I am trying to be better about spending our money on groceries and I was wondering if you mommas out there have any good and healthy meals that are easy on the pocketbook?! If you do I would love for you to share. I am using the e-mealz thing right now which has been great but I would still like to get some more ideas when I get tired of using that. I wish they would give lessons on this sort of thing before you get married.

Pregnancy update: I believe I am 11.5 weeks along but I am not sure b/c I have not been to the doctor yet....I will be soon tho...just waiting to clear up some insurance issues. I can't wait to see this lil one on ultrasound....I have been a little concerned because I feel so great.....just hoping I have been blessed with another easy pregnancy. I will feel so much better once I hear that lil heartbeat tho....one of the best sounds in the world.
