Nesting is REAL!

Okay,
So I can't believe it, but the "nesting" phase of pregnancy that they talk about is real! I didn't get it with Jonas but with this baby - the phase won't pass! I love it though because I am getting a ton done. I am perfectly content to stay home - clean (deeply) and organize, reorganize, and organize again. I am getting very creative with my new uses of space too! I have got to make room for a baby in our little house AND maintain some room for Jonas to run wild and store his toys. I have just finished putting curtains up in our dining room and our guest room is finally put together in time for my mother-in-law to come and stay. Let's see what else can I do? Seriously, am I going crazy?! I am looking for stuff to clean!

The latest with Jonas:

He said AMEN so loud at church last sunday after the concluding speaker that the whole congregation heard and laughed.

He wants to watch Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day every morning - sometimes twice ... and I let him.

He loves to vacuum with his little vacuum when I vacuum

When I do the dishes he always shouts to ask me if he can "help!"

He still loves his Thomas train that his Aunt Olivia bought him in Arizona. He is also addicted to watching the train crashes on Youtube tht Olivia introduced him to - thanks Liv.

He pushes his baby doll in the pink stroller around the house and even put her down for a nap today in the cradle that is set up in his room for his sister to come.

I am trying to teach him how to answer certain questions. I say, Jonas how old are you or Jonas, what is your name? He usually answers "One" to both unless I coach him on the name. Then he will repeat and say Jonas! The other day I said Jonas what is your name? He said "One!"
No Jonas, what is your NAME?
"Two?" he asks.

After I sing him any song (choo choo song, nursery rhyme, whatever) he says in a really high voice, "yea!"

Well that is about it. Just wanted to write down what he is all about these days so that I can remember it!
