Wow I haven't posted a ton of photos!

I was looking through photos today and noticed that a ton of photos that have never seen the blog.

This one is at the Denver airport waiting to go home after a visit to see Emme. I am sure i could do some great touch ups to it in photoshop but instead I would rather it actually make it to the blog!

A whole lotta nothing

Feeling better but not 100% we have been doing a whole lotta nothing. I keep trying to take you places and you aren't a fan. I won't push it.

I have to say I am glad to see you eating again. Even if it is only bananas and peanut butter.

We have a book we have been reading about "counting in the desert" there are coyotes mentioned. You do a nice impression.

Old Photos from last month

I took a few and never posted them!   I also have pictures from last week at Pretend City to post. I will get those up this week too.

Playing with the Wonder Pets is serious stuff

Flashback: One Year ago Today

You were here

Video from a few weeks ago

at the zoo Miles runs up to the elephant and says "sleeping!" then he proceeds to try to wake her up. This is a game we play at home with daddy every morning.

Last week

We went to a new car wash(before sick) and they had a place for you to play and watch the car "bath" you left with a balloon. New favorite car wash!

Feeling Better

Eating a bit and drinking. Things are looking up.

Sick and sick

You have had a fever for three days. Slowly but surely it is getting higher and higher. Teething? Nope. Ear infections? Nope. Dr appointment and blood test later they think it is roseola. Only time will tell. You had mr almost in tears as I drove you to the dr. Your little hands we reaching out to me and pulling me as you said "huggy mama" over and over tears running down your face. I have never hated LA traffic more.

Now for fluids and rest. You didn't eat today and drank so little. Your fever is keeping you so warm sleeping in a diaper is the only option.

You just wanted to be held and held some more. Sleeping on my chest and looking in my eyes. You were so sad.

My little buddy I will be checking you at night and kissing on you all day tomorrow.

Sometimes it is hard to wake up

Mustache Monday

We have these fun mustache on a stick props and when good friends visited it was the perfect time to use them. When folks visit out house we take polaroids of them before they leave. Here are yesterday's.

21 Months!

Those Lovely Locks

So this is a week or two late. I am only doing these type of updates until you hit 2. Then I am sure it will be a bit more infrequent.

Since you have moved into 21 months we have a few new things

- You are good with the water. Finally over the bath issues and are WILLINGLY swimming almost daily. I find that you are better at taking baths in the a.m. instead of the p.m. so we have moved toward that schedule instead. Whatever works.

- Eating isn't a big thing for you. You still aren't a huge eater. You love all berries and fruit and munch on crackers. I can also get you to eat some nuts and peanut butter.

- You love to go on walks. We do this about 2x a day. I think the dogs have talked you into this as they get more walks now.

- You are a helpful little guy now and take out the trash with daddy. You open up the door and help him with this chore. He is training you early.

- You are putting together all sorts of words. You now have possessive down "Daddy's Car" "Mama's water" and such.

- When you get hurt you ask me to kiss it. You also say "excuse me" on a regular basis in the correct context and "sorry" if you hurt me / bump into me.

- You still sign when you get really excited or mean something. Example " More cookies!" or "Milky Milk!" and "Play!" also some words like "crying" and "help" it is interesting to me what words you say and what you sign/say still.

- Tonight you asked me "pee pee potty" I put you on the pot clothed. You said "Diaper off" I was impressed. Then you put your hand in your pee. I wasn't impressed anymore.

- You are obsessed with STINKY. You sniff everything and tell me what you think is stinky. (ninky... is how you say it) Your Dee-Tee is always stinky and you want a new one after every nap. Ugh that is adding up to a lot of laundry.

- I am obsessed with your hair. You have better hair than I do by far and I am envious. I am living through your golden locks. you have shine, body and a slight curl. Seriously envious. I haven't cut it in a LOOONG time and don't plan on it anytime soon. Daddy was telling me you were having a hard time seeing. I then took to slicking it to the side with a bit of product. It helps and keeps us both happy.

Curiously taking your temperature

Zimmer Visit

Another Zimmer visit. This time some friends came along. You spent a good 30 minutes in the plane. Up, down, driving, fueling up. All delighted you. Running around downstairs you loved pressing your hands on the color changing tablets and getting wet at the water table. After and hour and a half you were done. Not sure if you were too excited from all of the adventure to sleep but that nap you gave me that day was so weak. I guess you had so much fun you wanted more.

2 Kids 1 Chair

Disappointed! I can't get these cute shots off my camera. So glad I took some with my iphone as backup. Maybe one day soon I will be able to get them. My compact flash card is on the fritz.

Miles' had a friend over for the afternoon. It was snack time. When I went back into the dining room with food, I find both kids crammed into the high chair. I served snack and they were so cute together. Eating and sharing food. Miles' friend came back the next afternoon to play and I wasn't shocked when I found them in the same situation again.

First Lollipop

You loved it. Shocker
