sheesh louis! 20 months!?

cutest people I know leaving for their date

spending time with 'papa' and playing at the park.

making forts and how she watches 'gascar' 

just a little bit crazy

In 4 short months I'll have a 2 year old, and one month later, a newborn!
Oh I am getting so anxious to find out if Baby Rad 2 is a boy or a girl!!!! We find out April 3rd and I will be almost 21 weeks!
Dan thinks and hopes for a boy.
I think it's a boy but think it would be so nice to have another little girl. Stori and Baby Rad 2 will both be born in summer and will be the right season for reusing clothes, shoes, everything, so that would be so nice/cheap! :)
Dan has also named Baby Rad 2 'Frankie.' No, it's not it's real name, just every time I ask dan to say the first baby name he thinks of, it's always Frankie. haha just go with it! {it kinda sounds better than "it."}
I can feel Frankie kick so much and love it. and all the kicking makes me want ice cream.
I can't wait until I show a little more so I don't feel super fat. That doesn't make sense, but it does.

Stori Rose is 20 months old, and still my little shadow.

• We play hide and seek for about 3 hours out of our day!
• We make forts to play with our toys (or our cousins). 
• Climbing on things is her talent. 
• She will climb up our tall kitchen chairs to get to the table, then uses the table to get in her high chair. seems a lot easier for me just to put her in, but now I just supervise. She also pushes her princess chair to the window to stand in the window sill and look for bikes, cars, trucks, buses, temple, moroni, snow, doggies, sun, birds, or anything else she sees.
• Clean up is actually one of her favorite games
• she gathers our shoes and puts them in our closet, puts away her coat, cleans up her kitchen, throws away diapers or any garbage, puts all her babies in the rocking chair, puts her puzzles away, puts all her bath toys in their correct buckets, puts blankets in the ottoman, and does all of this while singing the "clean up" song. So CUTE!
• Madagascar {gascar} is the new Tangled. She sings the "afro" song, and also the creepy "la la laaa" song that Mort sings. haha. And of course, dances to them. 
• She pretty much doesn't like her daddy. 
• I mean, she loves him, but just associates him with going to sleep because he doesn't get home until her bedtime. She loves him when he takes her on dates to the movies though. Her first movie at a theatre was "Rise of the Guardians." Dan said she sat on his lap and watched the whole thing while eating an entire thing of popcorn. haha it was her 20 month daddy-daughter date.
• She is great at recognizing emotions. 
• If something scares her she comes and hugs me and says, "ooooh scareyyyy." Usually it's something in a movie or a really loud airplane. We play the sad/happy game. She does frowny face and says "ohhh, sad," then immediately laughs and screams "HAPPY!" reminds me of a game I used to play with Megan because after 2 rounds of sad/happy we are both laughing so hard! Meg and I used to fake laugh and then stop. Fake laugh, stop. And pretty soon we were laughing so hard we couldn't do the "stop" part.
• She can 'read' her bunny book all the way through. 
• It's an I Spy book, so she literally tells me everything she sees and matches it up. My favorite parts are: the spooky spider (because she runs her hands on our backs like a spider), the sleeping mouse (she pretend sleeps), the winter page because she says, 'brrr cold' and hugs herself and shakes, when she sees the sun (she covers her eyes and says "ohhh bright"), and when she finds baby birds (she does a high pitch "OOOOHHHH TUTE!!!! and scrunches her face because the cuteness is too much for her)! 
• When she sees any yellow car she yells for "Shasha" and "Lila." Our friends the Foresters drive a yellow car.
• Her cutest saying is "where are youuuu? OP, there ya'are!"
• She says goodbye to her potty when we leaves the bathroom.
• Sleeps from 8-8 during the night and naps from 1-3:30. {with blankets as pillows}
• She is still a picky eater. My goal is to get her to eat chocolate before she turns 2.
• loves quasadillas with ham and cheese, peas, bananas, apples, nectarines, veggie straws, soup, any casserole, ice cream, pickles, oatmeal, waffles, yogurt, cottage cheese, pizza, potatoes, and of course, tomatoes.

Well, that is a pretty good update on Stori and 'Frankie'. Next, I will share the time I may or may not have broken my wrist and I will also put up a preg picture. Cause that's what I do.
