March picture randoms

Lots of random pictures going up today, truly our lives are not that exciting most days! Thomas had his first pediatrician appt last week out here, just his intake appointment. He ended up getting his 18 month vaccinations though so we went expecting a happy visit and it ended up being super dramatic. Poor little guy. Shots are awful! He did enjoy their coloring easel though while waiting for the doctor. He is 34" tall and 25 pounds! Hard to believe he is so big already. I also am mourning the loss of the many pediatricians in Utah county. We were so spoiled there. Hopefully we learn to love a doctor out here just as much. 
As long as he stays healthy we won't have to go back until he is TWO. I can't even wrap my head around that. I can't have a two year old so soon!! And by that point baby sister will be here...can time slow down please?

His puppy is the first thing he wants to see and say hi to when he wakes up in the morning or from his nap. He gives it a big hug and usually sits down in its lap to read a book there. If he's ever upset about something saying hi to his puppy usually stops the tears instantly. 
Our neighbors across the street have two huge dogs that are always out on their raised deck. Thomas could stand outside for hours just watching and pointing at them. His love for dogs is almost enough to make me consider getting another dog. Almost. JT has been pushing for one too but I won't even consider it until new baby is at least a year old. But it's hard to say no when they both want one so bad!!!

Fish face and noises. A new favorite thing. He also says "boo" for "moo" like a cow, makes monkey noises and snake noises and rawrs for lions. His reusable stickers I found for cheap at target are all different animals, and he will pick them up and make their sounds, all the time. It's especially fun when he rawrs really loud at church and shows the people around us the lion. 

We went to Salmon Creek park early this morning. I have been so awful at getting outside with him lately, and I have no excuse because it has been so nice here! He literally begged at the door for half an hour after JT went to work this morning. So we got ready quick and went on a walk and played for a good hour and a half. He loves chasing the ducks and scaring them from the grass, and he has no issues with sitting in the middle of the gravel trail to play in the rocks and dirt. He is such a boy.

Just another Thomas post

I'm not in the mood to write a ton so I'll just put up a bunch of pictures from the past few days! Sunday afternoon we went down to the Columbia River to a trail there, it was kind of drizzling and wet out but Thomas loved it. 
Until he face dived into the water. I didn't see it happen but JT said his head was totally under water. And it was so cold! Surprisingly he didn't cry, just made a really sad face. He was just shocked I think. And extremely soaking wet. 
Of course we had no extra clothes so it cut our exploring short. We went to this trail again though and it's gorgeous! I love that it's so close. 
Valentine's surprise package from my mom. She's the best, and we miss her so much!
We made valentine cupcakes and Thomas demolished his. He loved it all. A lot more then his first birthday cake. 
Playing at Dizzy Castle on a rainy day. 
These condos are along our favorite trail. They are sooo pretty, I would love to have that view everyday!
Walks are our favorite. 

Today it was like 65 degrees and so sunny and gorgeous out. We went to the park by JTs work today and got lunch with daddy. A pair of missionaries walked in to eat at the little pizza place we went too. I have always wanted to secretly pay for their meals somewhere but it was so common in Utah we never did! I got really  excited to do it today, so we didn't say anything to them and just added their check to ours when we paid. It left me feeling so happy, I wish I could have seen their faces. JT said it was rare to have that happen on your mission, especially places where members aren't as common. I hope we made their day a little bit better and brighter. It definitely made my day.

Today.

I can't believe that it's February already. Time seems to flying by this pregnancy, I will be 16 weeks tomorrow! Days seem long but looking back its gone by so fast. It scares me and makes me excited all at once. Having kids 21 months apart will definitely keep my hands full!

Today we went up to the Adidas employee store. Thomas has needed some new shoes and they had such awesome cute ones there for way cheap. We got two pairs for $30! One for now and one in a bigger size. I really love them. Nothing is cuter then little baby shoes. 
 JT bought a golf glove and I didn't get anything, I have a hard time buying clothes when I know I will be huge very soon.
Behind these monster shoes a bunch of people were playing soccer. Thomas wanted in on that game and would have gone right on the field if I hadn't dragged him away. 
Afterwards we went to Beaverton to a place called Papas Pizza Parlor, or something like that. It had a huge kids play area so we let Thomas get some energy out. It was packed with like a million birthday parties so he was a little hesitant, but it wore him out! A lot of parties were huge family groups, and JT and I talked about how alone we really are out here. Seeing all the families made us both realize that. It made us a little homesick! We've both always lived by all of our families, it's hard but we are slowly getting used to it. 
Thomas also ate SO much pizza. Like almost three pieces. 
We all came home and took long long naps, it rained most of the day, we went to Target for some random things, and we are for the most part finally over all the sickness in our house! 
JT can't resist putting any hat he sees in a store on Thomas. 
And some random pictures from our week:
His favorite tickle spots. Bottom of his legs and his face. He goes completely still and just lays there. It's hilarious 
Helping clean the floor is a new favorite thing. 
We bought this on sale at toys r us. He LOVES it. 
Rainy walk before bed 
Also. This is my proud moment of the week. All of this from Carter's for less then $50! We've reached the point of no more hand me downs sadly so I've been searching for good deals. He's just about in 2T shirts because he is so tall!

This is so fitting (literally) for my life right now. It's been one hundred million times harder moving here then I ever expected. The constant rain and getting dark at 4:00 makes me lazy and grumpy, and it's especially hard trying to adjust to life knowing you have to make all new friends. I'm so grateful we moved to a great area with a wonderful ward. I know it will take time to feel comfortable, but for now I just need to remember all of the good things we have been blessed with.
