Nathan loves...

Here's what Nathan has been up to in January..... These are the things he loves.

1. Baking. Nathan loves to help me bake, eventhough I am not really a baker. His favorite to make lately has been muffins. Let's just say its a crowded Goulet kitchen these days.


2. The iPhone. He still love still loves the iPhone. He pretty much does everything on his own now. His favorite games are the PBS kids app and the Little Stars Preschool game that has you identify shapes and colors.


3. Crawling in his brothers bed. Last month the struggle was to keep Nathan in his room at bedtime. Now the struggle is to keep him in his bed. He likes to climb in with Elijah and play. When I remove him from the crib he always tells me "but he's my best friend." Way to manipulate buddy!

4. Sorting. Elijah likes stacking and Nathan likes sorting and lining up cars. Nathan particularly likes sorting by color.

5. His Cars character cars. These 7 cars character go with Nathan everywhere. At $2-$3 a piece they were a great investment.



6. Pajamas! It is Nathan's mission in life to stay in his pajamas all day. Because the soft shirts and sweat pants he wears feel so different. :/ Some days I even let him wear his pajamas under his clothes.


7. The Froggy books. I used these alot when I worked in preschool, but Nathan loves the Froggy books. I think the favorites are Froggy learns to swim and Froggy plays soccer.



8. Dressing up. Dressing up is still a popular game in our house. Nathan usually chooses to be Spider-Man. Lately though he has also been using his blanket as a cape.


9. Sleeping in. No complaints here! Nathan must be in a growth spurt or something but the last 2 weeks he has been sleeping in later than Elijah most days. I go in and get Elijah between 6:30am-7:30am and Nathan will be still covered by his blanket snoring away. In fact, I've been having to wake him up to go places in the morning. He also has been not sleeping during rest time so I am not sure if this is connected.

The stowaway

The beginning of January Daniel and I packed up Nathan, and our best friend Joanna and headed to Florida for two weeks. We stayed with Daniel's mom in Daytona Beach for a few days. Then, my parents met us so we could all go on a cruise together; 5 glorious days of fun and food. We had a great time. Lots of sun, sand, and being waited on. We loved it. And now, it turns out, we're going to have a permanent souvenir from our trip. We brought back a stowaway....in my womb. That's right, baby Goulet #2 is on the way. I'm due October 3. Exactly three weeks before Nathans 2nd birthday. All I can say is if baby #2 looks or acts like this guy, my heart's going to explode. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many

Labor Induction Technique that does work....

Almost from the day that I found out that I was pregnant, I thought that Jesus told me (weird, I know) that baby Goulet was going to come on October 21st. October 21st is also the anniversary of Daniel and I getting engaged. The year that we got engaged October 21st was sweetest day, so Daniel thought that it was a perfect day to get engaged. Even though I have thought that whole time that I would have a baby on the 21st, I am not a patient woman. And I especially do not like surprises, so the suspense of going in the labor was killing me (see previous posts). On the 20 th , in my quest to go into labor I drank Castor oil. Gross I know, but I mixed it with juice and it wasn't bad. I went for me daily walk, and felt nothing. Within a couple of hours, the Castor oil had kicked in. Castor oil in found at drug stores, and is typically used as a laxative. I can now say from personal experience, that it is a good laxative if you would like to completely clean your bowels out
