Faces of Lunch

It's been awhile since I've done a Clark-facial-expression-grid, so here's a sampling of what lunchtime looked like this afternoon.

Comparing

Yesterday afternoon I was fixing a little stuffed decoration while Clark was entertaining himself by throwing chunks of polyfil at my head. Pretty soon the stuffing found its way under his shirt and we got to compare bellies. 

Making Room

Clark got a special delivery today: a new bed! As you can see, it suits him for watching garbage trucks on YouTube, although he finds most places to be suitable for that. Now that we have a bed I have just 12 more weeks to transform this room into a magical shared girl nursery/toddler boy room.

Hopefully the novelty of getting on and off the bed wears off soon so he can actually lie down and go to sleep sometimes.

iTechnology

My son loves Apple devices. A few days ago when we got home after running some errands he asked for my iPhone. I told him we weren't doing iPhones just then, so he immediately said, "iPod!". I told him we weren't doing iPods either, so a pause...then he shouted, "iPAD!" ha ha. Had to tell him no again.

On Saturday he breezed past me in the kitchen toward the stairs. When I inquired where he was going he said, "up. iPad." Two minutes later I turned around (and quickly snapped the pic on the right) to see him muscling Daddy's iPad downstairs. Steve asked me if I had brought it down since it was apparently hidden away. Alas, no hiding spot is too secretive for my determined little iClark when he wants to "puh-yay" a "gain" of "bir"s.

From the Phone

Here are some recent gems captured by my phone:

 1. We turned Clark forward-facing in the car a few days after his birthday. Now anytime I go to put him in the car he says "ride".

2. Photography by Clark. The subject: Steve changing a diaper. 

3. Clark in nursery on a day I was helping out. He looks good as a construction worker caring for a baby, no?

4. & 5. Clark doing "essasize" at the playground. He's watched his daddy do pull-ups every weekend so that must be what he knows as exercise.

6. A post-exercise cool-down.

7. I tried the sock bun 'do that is ever-present on Pinterest. Looks like I have some more practicing before I get a look that's more bun, less UFO.

8. Clark and Daddy playing Angry Birds. He likes taking turns and makes sure that Daddy gets plenty of "tie"s (tries).

9. Last week of my second trimester, taken after a walk this morning. People are already asking me if I'm full-term yet. ha ha! Not even close!
