Two Boys!! (Or four if Ben and Gus count)

I know this post is boring with no pictures, but I feel like I'm in panic mode to get some things down in writing about my little boy before he grows up! A little update on me: I'm five and a half months pregnant with another boy! We're so excited! I've been working the past few months at an adult crisis house, which I love, and keeps me super busy. Ben has been working from home, which has been nice (most of the time) and he's been able to watch Blaine when I work. Anyways, Blaine news:

- Blaine has somehow come up with the phrase "Oh my gosh!" (I don't think this is a common phrase in our household but maybe I'm wrong) and says it all the time. He says it when he sees a tractor, or anything cool. We went to the pumpkin patch last night and he saw the bounce houses while we were still driving. He started yelling, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!", to which I was trying to quiet him since Ben was on the phone.

- He likes to call people crazy. The other day in church we were sitting by Carissa and her family, and they did something to which Blaine cried, "Cweesa and Brandon CRAZY!". Haha!

- When we come in to get him from his nap or in the morning, he immediately yells, "Good Morning!".

- We were trying to talk to him about going to the bathroom, specifically pooping. So I was letting him know that everyone poops. I started naming off that dada poops, mama poops... He began to help me by naming off everyone he could think of and saying that they poop: Grandpa poops, Cweesa poops, Gus poops, etc.

- He calls his Grandma Belnap, "Tim". We're not sure where he got this from but we can't get him to change his mind. Grandpa counts as Grandma and Grandpa, and Grandma is Tim.

- He thinks every slightly sad face is crying. He looks at it and goes, "crying?".

- Ben got him a cowboy hat from Lake Powell that he insists on wearing everywhere, even to restaurants. If I forget his hat, I have to turn around and come back for to avoid a complete meltdown. We actually lost the original hat on the plane on the way back from Seattle, so we had to quickly get him a new one.

- He brings his toys everywhere. If I tell him he can bring one, he keeps saying "one more" and gets about ten toys (usually cars) and stuffs them in my purse.

- He thinks any drink in a cup with a straw is a Coke or Diet Coke. So he's constantly asking me for a Coke. I feel really embarrassed when he asks me in public places, and I want to explain to people that I do not give my two year old Coke.

- He names off all the cars from Disney's Cars. When he names Dinico, he calls it Diet Coke.

- He makes us sing him songs before bed or his nap. He keeps naming them to see how many he can get us to sing. His favorites are: Comission (I hope they call me on a mission), howmuch (How much is that doggy in the window), they're so good to me (Families can be together forever), and born (We have been born as Nephi of old...).

There's more but that's all for now!!
