Whats's New?

Sophia and Micah continue to grow and change daily.
Baby is growing too!

Last week we found out through ultrasound that Baby Schmidt #3 is about 3 pounds already.  A healthy growing baby!!  What a blessing.  We are so thrilled to meet our baby in mid-March.  This baby is always on the move - trying to make more room for him/her self I think!  It's so fun to feel the baby and know that he or she will be joining our family in less than 10 weeks!

Sophia is getting the last of here baby teeth.  Her eye teeth are almost all the way through.  Although her vocabulary is quite limited, you can tell she is trying really hard to learn words.  She can say Hat, Sock, Milk, Water, Mama, Dada, Micah, ... to name a few.  She loves to spend time wrestling with Micah and Daddy or cuddling with Mommy!  Every night before bed we spend time singing "I'm a little Tea Pot" "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider", reading our Bible and Praying together.

Micah is learning more each day as well.  Preschool is teaching him lots of letter- his vocabulary is getting more advanced (last week he used the word "apprently".) I was quite impressed.  He loves to play with his little sister and doesnt's miss out on singing songs for her bedtime routine.  He still really enjoys monster trucks, playing farm with daddy, playing kitchen and dolls with Sophia and wrestling as much as daddy can handle.  Mommy and Micah find time together to cook in the kitchen and read books!

Both Micah and Sophia made a big transition this week.  In order to prep for baby, we bought bunk beds.  Sophia is on the bottom bunk (full size bed) - she looks so tiny in the big bed.  Micah is on the top twin bunk.  He is enjoying his new found space and his transformer sheets! 

We continually feel blessed with our beautiful children. Although things are trying - and we are learning to be better parents DAILY!  We pray with God's help we will succeed as parents in raising God fearing children who serve him.
