Highlights

Alright, my mommy and daddy are busy. So, I figured I’d just take things into my own hands update you all. After all, I’m getting so cute, and everyone needs to see pictures of me and hear all about what I’ve been doing! I even have a few pictures to share! Beware, this post will be long, since mommy hasn’t posted in a long time!!!

First, I better start last fall, when mommy made me this cute dress all by herself! Isn’t it great?!? We got some family pictures taken in it, and I think mommy is really talented. I loved my dress. (Too bad it doesn’t fit me anymore).

Last fall, we also took some family pictures in the canyon. So, this was our little family back then. Soon, we’ll be a family of four instead of three!!!

Mommy bought me this cute snow-suit after the first big snow last year. And then, there was only one chance to play in the snow afterwards! I wasn’t quite sure about playing in it, but I’m sure I’ll be better next year. Hope it still fits!

This picture was taken on Easter, in a dress my grandma bought me. And mommy made my white flowers in my hair. I felt like a little princess all day! (I wore the dress on the week AFTER Easter, since it fell on conference weekend). Easter was so fun! I got to do an Easter-egg hunt, and up until a month ago, I used the word “egg” to refer to candy, since I thought they came together! It was fun going to church all dressed up.

Oh, and since we’re talking about church, I’m loving my nursery class on Sundays. It took me a little while to get used to it. At first, I hated it when mommy and daddy would leave me. I’d scream and scream until the teachers would go and get them. Then, they’d stay with me. Eventually, mom and dad decided to just come with me to nursery. I finally started having fun there, and realizing how great it is! I get snacks, and coloring time, and singing time, and everything! Now, I LOVE nursery, and mommy and daddy can leave me there just fine. I’m making friends, and learning new songs ( my FAVORITE is the wise-man, foolish-man song – I make mommy and daddy sing it to me EVERY naptime and bedtime ).

I’ve been sleeping in a toddler bed for a few months now. I like it a lot. It’s nice to be able to get out of bed myself. Especially in the mornings. I usually wake up really happy in the mornings, and I just play by myself in my room until Mommy comes and gets me. She really appreciates it, since she likes to get as much sleep as she can. She’s not sleeping well lately, since she’s so uncomfy. So, I try to help her by playing by myself for a little while so she can get some extra sleep.

I’m getting so big these days. I love to be outside, and I often will go stand by the door, and beg mommy to go out. I’ll say “uh died,” which means “outside.” Or, I’ll just bring mommy my “soos,” (shoes) and hope she gets the idea. I love going on walks, and I LOVE going to the park and going “wee” on the swings. I also really like bikes, and I point them out to my mommy and daddy whenever I see one. Maybe I’ll get one soon when I’m big enough to ride one!

I LOVE to read. I used to hand mommy or daddy a book, and just keep pointing at the front cover over and over until they’d read it to me. Now, I love to just sit on the couch and read books to myself. Mommy and Daddy think I’m so cute. It’s not all gibberish. I’m getting more and more words in my vocabulary all the time!

I love when daddy makes popcorn, and we sit and watch movies. Some days he just makes popcorn as a snack, and I love eating it! The day this picture was taken, I had not fallen asleep during nap-time, and I must have been so tired! The popcorn never made it into my mouth…

Before

After

Mommy and Daddy went on a Retreat together with Daddy’s work. They got to stay at the Homestead Resort in Heber. They left me with Grandma Sharp for a day or so, and I definitely had fun with her. Mommy and Daddy got to play paint-ball while they were there, and here are the before and after pictures of their game. They got pretty bruised and hurt during the game, but they said they had a great time!!!

Mommy and Daddy are getting ready for our new baby. Mommy is getting pretty tired lately. She can’t really hold me for very long, and I get really frustrated with it sometimes. So, I love when daddy comes home and can play with me, and obey my “up” requests, and hold me. He has a lot more energy than mommy and he’s so good at playing games with me. I’m trying to be better at playing by myself a bit, and letting her relax. I’m excited to get a new brother. I love babies, ever since mommy has been talking about my brother. I have two new little cousins, and there are lots of babies in my ward. Every time I see a baby, I get really excited, and point them out to my parents. I am good at being really gentle and soft when I am around them. I’m gonna be such a good big sister! I can’t wait to meet my baby brother in the next 2 ½ weeks. (Mommy is hoping he’ll come sooner.).

Those are all the pictures mommy let me have for now. I’ll tell mommy and daddy to post pictures of my new brother when he comes so you can see him.

Update

The baby is due July 13 and we are both excited for our new family member. Everything is going well. Becca is getting nervous, but excited for the big day.

My (Jacob's) birthday is January 13 so July 13 is my half birthday. Happy half birthday to me!

We turned the AC off a couple of days ago because the rain had cooled things down a bit. We forgot to turn it back on last night so in the middle of the night Becca was miserable because she was so hot. I went down and turned on the AC and noticed that the temperature was at 72 degrees. We normally have it set at 73 degrees during the night so it wasn't hotter than normal, but I guess that is just one of those things about pregnant women.

We have not yet decided on a first name. Joseph, my oldest brother, has my Dad's name as his middle name, Jeff has my grandpa's name, I have my great grandpa's name, and Jonothan has my great great grandpa's name. We have decided to follow the same tradition so our first son will will be named ______ Jacob Sharp. We will fill in the blank when we know what to put there.

3D Ultrasound Pictures

At Becca's last doctor visit, the doctor told her she was measuring small and ordered an ultrasound as a precaution. It turns out the baby is measuring fine, he is just low, but we got some nice 3D ultrasound pictures!
