America's Most Smartest Model
WOW I'M SURPRISED SO MANY OF YOU KNEW THE ANSWER! ITS GRAND 'OL PARTY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE.
A couple of weeks ago Clint and I were watching America's Most Smartest Model (okay so our English channels are very limited). The challenge was that they were asked a question and if they got it wrong they had to eat junk food. If they got it right, they ate something healthy. One of the questions was this...
What does GOP stand for when referring to the Republican party?
Don't look it up, but tell me what you think it means. Cause I had no idea but one of the guy models got it right.

Milestone
As of Saturday the 7th, Morgan is officially off of the bottle. Completely 100% off. She hasn't had one since Friday night. I'm a little concerned though...
I had her down to 2 bottles a day. One in the afternoon and one in the evening. But last week we had an appointment at the hospital and a lady (we'll call her a "nutrition consultant") told me that Morgan should have been off the bottle at 12 months and that I had made a mistake by giving her milk in her bottle. I thought this was a little outrageous. I don't know many 12 month old kids that are completely off the bottle and boob.
I decided to see what Morgan would do if she didn't have a bottle all day or all night and lo and behold, she was perfectly fine without it. She slept her usual 10-12 hours at night and never woke up once. So I guess she doesn't need it, but now the thing thats concerning me is that she refuses to drink milk out of her sippy cup. So she's not drinking any milk anymore. I'm worried that she's not getting the calcium, vitamin D, and fat that she needs in her diet.

Last Week
Morgan in her tutu. Our good friend Erin made it for her for Christmas. She likes to try to pull it apart.
This was on the camera, not sure why, I guess Clint was bored.
Ready for church. Sunday the 8th.
Daddy does my hair, isn't it cute?
Hmmmm, I wonder....

A New Bed, a Park, and a Buddhist Temple
We've been shopping for a new comforter set for our bed and finally found one for 50% off and free shipping on Dilliards.com. The picture doesn't really do it justice. Its much prettier in real life. It just needs to be ironed.
On Sunday after church it was nice and sunny outside so we decided to go for a walk. Morgan was excited.
We found a little park down the street from our house. We played on the teeter-totter until Morgan fell off and all the Koreans looked at us like we were child abusers.
So we switched to the swing.
After the park Clint said he wanted to walk across the street and show me a little temple his company had run to for PT one morning. Here is a lovely statue of Buddha to greet you as you come up the steepest hill I've ever walked up in my life.
The guard dogs (aka stray puppies)
They ring this bell every morning at 0530 and every evening at 1730.
A nice guy that works at the temple saw us walking around outside and invited us to go inside. He spoke very good English, and in fact studied English in Utah.

On the left and right sides of the Buddha statues are walls covered in smaller Buddha statues (pictured below) 
This is a painting on one of the walls.
This is a smaller temple just down the hill a little ways. Pretty much the same thing inside.
A closer picture of the decorative artwork. It is so beautiful and amazing! Who knew we could walk across the street and see such wonderful Korean culture. I had no idea this temple was here.
And a little video of Morgan trying to climb the slide at the park.

For Shelly (and everyone else who wants to know the details)
Okay, I think everyone who is going to see our little announcement has probably seen it by now. I found out on January 16th that I was pregnant. That night Morgan's old infant carseat was sitting out so I picked it up and said, "I guess we can put this away since we won't be needing it for 9 more months." Clint didn't say anything so I said something again about putting it away since we won't need it for 9 more months and he said, "wait 9 months? Are you pregnant?" I started laughing and told him I was and he just said, "well thats cool." It was pretty funny. You probably had to be there.
By my estimate the baby is due around September 21st. And yes, we did it on purpose. Morgan will be 21 months older than baby #2. It worked out perfect for us because we will be able to bring the new baby home with us for Christmas this year to meet everyone. We wanted an August baby, since there are already 5 September birthdays in our families, but we're just thankful that it happened so fast this time. It took 14 months to get Morgan, and I was afraid that would happen again.
I'm not able to get a dr. appt until our command sponsorship goes through, so we're hoping that happens soon since its been 6 months now since we initially applied. I emailed the batallion commander yesterday and made a fuss about not being able to get an appt when I'm pregnant. Hopefully he'll be able to help.
We're both really excited for this baby. I didn't think the second one would be as exciting, but it is! I've been nauseated since before I even found out I was pregnant and I'm so tired and exhausted all the time. Oh, and the headaches, I'm getting headaches again with this one. No throwing up yet though. Oh ya, and I'm craving Fruit Loops like crazy! I remember being tired with Morgan, but I was in school, so I didn't have a choice but to get up and go. Now its hard for me to get out of bed everyday. I'm not complaining though, just documenting :)
Any other questions?
