No news is...

Good news? Whoever came up with that? I guess it really doesn't apply when you're waiting on your baby to arrive. Today is my due date and I am still feeling pretty comfortable; just feeling a little anxious as I know that something life changing is about to happen. Anyhow, I don't plan on dwelling too much over the whole due date thing for two reasons: Dylan was 5 days late, and I've been thinking about it, and my due date could be off an entire week (we moved it up a week from what I had thought the due date was after Owen's measurements from his first ultrasound).

So, this week we decided to let Dylan have a good treat, and I am not talking about something you eat. Two of Dylan's favorite things are watching TV (which I promise I try to limit), and cars. For the majority of his wakeful hours, Dylan is holding on to, or playing with at least two cars. When you combine these two loves, what do you get? Cars, the movie. Dylan was SO excited to see this movie and I think that it may have taken Finding Nemo out of the running for his favorite.


It's showtime and Dylan was sweet enough to flash a cute smile in his Mommy's direction.

I wanted to add to my post some of the funny things that Dylan has been saying lately.

Baby Owend. Baby soon. (He says this when he is looking at my belly. I guess me telling him that Owen will be here soon is sinking in.)

Uh oh. I stinky. (when he has a poopy diaper)

Get down now. (which is him mimicking me or Isaac when he is standing on something he knows he should not be on i.e. the arm of the couch, desk, etc)

Uh oh. I hurt (pause) Mommy. (he used to say just, "I hurt", but now he has figured out to add different words like Mommy)

Book of da Mornin' (the Book of Mormon) (or) Cat in Hat, Dr. Seuss. All books fall into one of these two categories (including books on labor).

Bye. See ya. Later. Dude. (which he got from Finding Nemo)

Dylan is very good at remembering his manners. Everytime we check out at the grocery store, he wants a sticker. He was making his wishes known to the bagger recently and after the bagger gave him his sticker he told him, "thank you" without being reminded. Then when we were walking out he told them all goodbye. He is also good about saying, "you're welcome". If you sneeze, Dylan will say, "Bless you". We are still working on perfecting "please". But when he does say it, he says it so cute that there is no way that I resist giving him pretty much whatever he is aking for. This heart melting technique also applies to "Sarwee" (sorry).
