A Log of Hunter -"isms"

Hunter is constantly doing and saying things that have Josh and I holding our stomachs and laughing out loud! Unfortunately, I do a poor job of journaling them! Though, I have been trying to jot them down in my phone, pieces of paper, fb statuses, etc. as they happen to try to record later! I am going to start a "log" of Hunter's quotes and hope to continually update it as things happen/are said and try to dig up the ones that I have previously recorded (hopefully I can find them all).

Hunter and my mother were playing a board game together. I believe Hunter may have been cheating ;) as he kept "winning". As they were playing my mom's board game piece passed up Hunter's piece and he was not happy at the prospect of potentially being beaten. So I told Hunter you can't win every time bud, and you need to be a good sport when you do lose. Hunter replies with "Grandma, I am a good sport!....'cause I win!"

The infamous "Slinky dog" had vanished (i.e. fallen behind Hunter's bed) and Hunter had been looking  all over for him so they could watch a movie together. After helping him, and upon finding him Hunter preceded to scold his stuffed dog, "You're in BIG trouble Slinky! Don't ever do that again!"

Me: Hunter can you play cars in the next room? You're being very loud and I'm try to do homework.
Hunter: Mom...Aren't you too old to be doing homework?!
Me: Did you just say I was too old to do homework?
Hunter: [laughing] yeah, you're too old.

Backstory: For those of you that know Josh, know at times he can have a little road-rage. Well, because we do our best not to use profanity around the kids, Josh has learned to replace his previous vocabulary with the word dummy. So, whenever someone pulls out in front of him, etc. the typical response is "What are you doing dummy?!" Ok, fast forward to Hunter playing cars on his carpet that has streets on it, he in perfect scenario replication has one car pull out in front of another one, so Hunter responds as the driver of the car that just got cut off and goes "Hey! What are you doing dummy?" Josh hears this, realizes where he got this phrase, and explains to Hunter it's not nice to call people names, and that he is sorry for doing saying that and shouldn't do this while he driving. (trying to undo our bad habits that our kids catch from us). Ok, now fast forward again to a few nights later...

[Eating dinner at the dinner table]
Josh: [talking about his day at work and referring to a co-worker]....yeah, he was just being a dummy.
Hunter: [dramatic gasp] Dad! We don't say that! That's not nice and calling people name is mean and we don't say mean things to people! [Looks at me] Right mom?
Me: [trying to hold back my smirks/laughter] You're right, we shouldn't call people names.
Hunter: [turns to Josh] Yeah dad, we don't say mean things, because you're suppose to be nice to people.
Josh: You're right bud, I'm sorry, that wasn't a nice thing to say.
Hunter: [who is just really embellishing getting to return the lesson from the previous day] Yep, cause you have to be nice to people dad....Just so YOU know!!

Sept 20th, 2012
I told Hunter it was time for him to get in the bath and Hunter goes, "You sir...mom...are a terrorist."
*He totally got this from his father! Whenever Hunter is being out of control, Josh refers to him as a terrorist.

Late Updates

Well it has only been a few months and I am already failing at my goal of being a consistent blogger to keep track of my kids day-to-day special moments. Somewhere between nursing school, clinicals, homework, family time, and sleep I haven't found  a lot of time to keep up with the updates as sleep keeps creeping to the top of my priority list.

So here is the update from the girls last doctors appt on March 5th, 2012:

-Sonogram looked great! Heartbeats sounded awesome :)

-They are now both turned head down (yay for possible vaginal delivery, boo for lots of uncomfortable pressure associated gravity acting on two heads directed down on my pelvis).

-Both weigh approx 1lb 8oz each, right on track, putting them in the 53rd percentile

-Baby A was measuring 24w 0d and Baby B measured 24w 3d

-I was 24w 2d at the appointment but my belly was measuring just over 29 weeks.

-My waist is now measuring a whopping 42.5" a far cry from the 27" I started at in Sept & Oct.

-My weight gain is now... 28lbs and stepping on the scale at each appt is becoming much less amusing the  bigger I get. However the doctor said he thought 60lbs would be a good total weight gain for this pregnancy so I guess I am doing my part.

And for the best part I FINALLY DECIDED ON NAMES FOR THE GIRLS!! Now to just get Josh to agree and we're in business! Although when we do FINALLY agree on the names we have decided to keep them a surprise until they arrive :)

      As for Hunter he is doing so wonderful in his new preschool class! I couldn't be more proud of his progress! That and he is already showing to be such a great big brother, he loves patting, rubbing and kissing my belly! He also likes to talk to the babies and press his ear against my stomach to "listen" to them...it's the cutest thing ever!
     These next couple of months are going to be very hectic, between school, finals, a million family birthdays, holidays, baby showers, we still need to get the girls room put together! We have started slowly but surely and hope to have it finished at the end of spring break! Pictures will be posted as soon as this gets accomplished!
