Is cuteness actually a word? Not sure but it works to describe my little man. He his talking and starting to put sentences together. Tonight we were trying to put him to bed and he really wanted to keep rocking. Each time BJ or I would try to lay him down in his bed, he would say most pitifully, "Rock Baby". Man was it hard not to pick him back up and cuddle with him some more. I could hardly resist and only held out because it was already 2 hours past bedtime.
One of my favorite McKay pronunciations these days is his version of treat which sounds like "Tweet". The "ee" is of course prolonged when he really wants one.
And, yes, I have been having weird cravings lately. I mean weird! With Mckay I craved sugar and fruit. I once ate half a watermelon by myself! However, with this pregnancy I've had serious cravings for this:
It's true, I can hardly resist soft scrub and laundry detergent, and have come dangerously close to slurping up the dish detergent. In a moment of weakness the other day I actually licked the soap while in the shower and, guess what, it was delicious. So delicious, in fact, that I had to get out of the shower before I made myself sick.
Obviously since I can't go around feasting on cleaners, I had to find a decent substitute. This is about the only thing that soothes:
I bought some Sonic Ice today in the drive-thru. Delicious!

You are not crazy! While I was pregnant, I wanted to eat:
1. Snow - like the icicle type. What a yummy popsicle right?
2. Sunshine - couldn't figure out how to bottle it, or I likely would have. It was a literal craving. Strange.
3. Johnson's Bedtime soap - secretly I still want to eat it, but when I was pregnant, I came so close to slurping it. Seriously.
They say these cravings reflect some deficiency in our body. My question is, what is a craving for soap reflecting? A deficiency in cleanliness??
Hope you're doing well, soap cravings and all! :)
That is really weird. I have a friend who absolutely loves the smell of cigarette smoke when she is pregnant. Having a baby does strange things to you.
Ew!! I've heard of that but it sure sounds disgusting. That's so funny!
That's my girl!! Miss you guys already!
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! YOU LICKED SOAP?? Wow...so glad I won't be getting pregnant....
I'm so glad you're willing to post that on your blog . . . My weird craving was even more dangerous--gasoline! I couldn't get enough of the smell, and found lots of reasons to stand in the bays at my father-in-laws auto shop and breathe deeply.
WHAT?? Seriously, you have not talked to me about this! I am laughing out loud!!
HAHAHA! I have heard of this craving before and thought it was so funny. And now I can say that I actually have a friend that has had this craving. That was the funniest thing ever when you said that you licked the bar of soap. I LOVE it!
I was the same way! I just wanted to chomp on some laundry soap. mmmmmmmm.
Rachel, this post just made me laugh SO hard and you have no idea how much I really needed that today! I feel like I haven't seen you in months - we should get together before the arrival date gets too much closer.
