Sugar, Sleeping Beauty, and a Little Guy

My Sophie Moment: "I'm Sugar". This is Sophie's newest catch phrase. She points to her tummy when she says it. Sometimes when you call her by her name, she will turn around and say "I'm Sugar" and won't do what you are asking her to do until you call her Sugar. The other time she says it is when she does something she is proud of doing by herself such as climbing the stairs to go to bed. We still wonder how long she will be Sugar but it does seem to be sticking for now.

My Grace Moment: "Sleeping Beauty" pronounced "Sleepin' Boooooty" has arrived at our house. While Mermaid is still queen, I do believe Sleeping Beauty is giving Mermaid a run for her money. Grace loves to show off Sleeping Beauty on her panties if she wearing a pair that has Sleeping Beauty on them. She also loves to announce that is what is on the movie. She got choice after her first dentist appointment last week (which she did really good going to with daddy!!) of getting a Sleeping Beauty doll or a Mermaid doll. Mermaid was handed off to Sophie and Grace kept "Sleeping Beauty". Sorry Mermaid!

Little Guy Update: I wonder how long I can call him "little". hmmm. I had a growth check ultrasound at 31 weeks, 4 days. His head measured over 37 weeks. His body measurements were 32 weeks, 4 days. All of that averaged out to a 34 week, 2 day (I think) overall average size estimate. His weight estimate at the time was 4 lbs. 9 ounces. The OB declared he should be 8 lbs. when he is born based on average weight gain between that appointment and expected delivery. I will believe that when I see it. Overall, his measurements were within "normal" so they were pleased and so were we! Now if only I can figure out to squeeze into these maternity clothes another 6 weeks. I am in the biggest maternity clothes I own already. These are normally the ones I break out the last few weeks so I am thinking these won't be fitting come 4 or 5 weeks from now. aye.

so what name do you have?

Grace's Moment: Last week, Grace had a break through and I become "Mommy". Brian became "Daddy". She still says mama and dada but she is tossing in the mommy and daddy more. It is too cute and sure made us feel special.

Sophie's Moment: Sophie is trying her best to say Grace's name. It normally comes out "Gra" or something like that. The other day I was trying to get her come downstairs after her nap and said "Sophie come on". She looked at me and said "I Sugar". She wouldn't come until I called her Sugar. Needless to say, she knows her nickname that Grace gave her.


Little Boy's Name: I have already shared but his name is Matthew William. Grace will say Matthew if you ask her. Sophie still won't say his name but does still like "bubba" when I tell her that Matthew is her little brother. He still has some time cook here but it will be interesting to see what name his older sisters decide to call him when he arrives.
