I've been meaning to post an update on Peanut's 'status' but we're still waiting to hear from the doctor on her CT scan result and we'll be meeting with the endocrinologist and getting an echo on the 8th of Dec so you'll just have to wait 'til then!
In the meantime, I've had lots of people asking about baby names. Yes, we do have some we're contemplating and if you're interested, I've made a poll so that you can vote on which one is your fav. It's at the very end of our blog, so go vote away! And feel free to comment with any opinions, thoughts, feelings, etc. I really stress over naming someone and have been having a pretty hard time with this one!

Smile Moments
One night I was yet again relaying some of the cute things Peanut did that day to Luke when he told me I needed to be blogging them. Now I know I'm a pretty horrible blogger but the main reason I have it is to record events in our lives with some 'journaling' along the way. So why not try and 'journal' some cute stories about Peanut...
She talks in her sleep. I've noticed it almost from the day she was born! It's quite cute when I'm not trying to sleep! Lately (as in ever since our short hospital stay) she wont sleep in a separate room from us. Even if we do manage to get her to sleep in the bedroom upstairs she always ends up in our room before morning time. Or as in the case of the other morning when my aunt found her at 4 in the morning curled up in a ball on the floor next to their bed. So anyways, she's been sleeping in the playpen in our room so I've had the opportunity to hear her random ramblings. She'll often talk of herself, her friends, daddy or mommy (i.e. 'daddy whew' - another story to come) but the other night she must of been dreaming about a huge treat because she was saying in her cute two-year-old voice 'heavy, heavy, heavy treat, heavy treat, treat, treat, treat.' One day, when she's older, I'm going to try the old trick of getting her to carry on conversations about all the secrets she's hiding from me!
She's a big helper and especially likes to help empty the dishwasher, sweep the floor, clean the bathrooms, and do the laundry. Which would all be great if the dishes were actually put where they're supposed to go, if the floor actually got swept and not just brushed around, and if she didn't completely cover the bathroom wall with windex spray and then try to clean it with one little square of paper towel!
The only thing she'll eat right now is mac and cheese which wouldn't be okay with me if the way she said/asked for it weren't so darn cute! I don't even know how to type it up. I'll have to try and catch all her made up words on video someday. She really does have her own words for lots of things. We could even make a pretty good sized 'Peanut Dictionary.' We don't always know where she gets them from but at least we've figured out what she's trying to say!
Everybody whews. When Peanut has gone 'number 2' or even toots she says, 'Oh Kykaw whew.' And if she hears anybody fart she'll say their name. i.e. 'Oh daddy whew.' And sometimes randomly she'll go through what we call the 'whew list.' Daddy whew, Mommy whew, Kykaw whew, Bahka whew, Bobbie whew, Paul whew, Cake (her friend Kate) whew, Mase whew. It's pretty much a different list of people every time but we've concluded that if she likes you and knows your name then some time or other you'll make it on the 'whew list.'
If there's more than one of anything there's always two. If there's a picture of five doggies she'll point and say 'two doggies.' And her counting goes something like this 'two, tree, two, tree' with some random numbers and sometimes letters in between.
She's currently obsessed with shoes. She even wants to wear them to bed! I'm thinking it's because she finally knows how to put them on all by herself but either way everytime I turn around she's all of sudden wearing shoes (luckily usually always on the right feet!)
She loves to 'bowl.' Wii bowling that is. (She's actually pretty good too.) Except that she'll bowl about 2 or 3 times and then she just wants to watch us bowl (for hours!) Whenever she's asking to bowl and I deny her and tell her that maybe we'll do some bowling when Daddy and Robbie get home from work, the first thing she'll ask her dad when he gets home is if she can bowl.
She's at such a fun age! I love it! I've been feeling pretty sick in the mornings (completely off all meds! but paying for it I guess) so I've been feeling bad and like I'm missing out on some great times of her life but I'm still greatful for all the fun times we do have and just to have her cute little personality around.

Family Picture Sneek Peek
We FINALLY got around to taking some family pictures (now that I'm all fat and preggo!) I've had the outfits since September! I gave up on scheduling a photographer and we just went out with our friends who have a nice camera and they snapped some pictures of us and we snapped some pictures of them. Best idea ever! It was great! (And FREE!) Here's a couple of my favorites...

My all time fav!

Families are Forever
We had some really good lessons in Sunday school and Relief Society on Sunday. I'm grateful it was my week to stay after sacrament (we've been taking turns staying home with Peanut again since it's flu season). The majority of what the lessons were on was temple work, sealing power, and forever families. I've always had a testimony of it all but it was just a good reminder that I will be with my mom again. I'm grateful, also, that my whole family is sealed and 'bonded' for eternity. It's such a comfort to me in this life. And now all I can do is to try and raise my children right so that when the day comes they too will choose to partake of the blessings of the temple.(This picture is of Peanut and her cousin at the St. George Temple. I love it! And hope that Peanut will continue to 'look to the temple' and make it a goal to go there someday)
