IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL

TO MAKE PEOPLE WORK ON DAYS LIKE THIS...

WHAT WOULD I GIVE JUST TO HAVE A WINDOW?! EVEN BETTER, A WINDOW THAT OPENS.

Bunny Pictures

The pant less boys... Jenson, Conner, Tristan, & Lennox. The three on the left are my great-nephews.










I didn't prepare well for these pictures... the navy shoes were all that was in the bag.


UGH. I could squoosh it!





Lennox trying to man handle Jenson... typical.

Poor bunny...


Is he not so cute?!

20 months

You recognize the difference in boys & girls. You get most of them right in books but not always in person.

You are saying new words everyday. Just about anything you can repeat but your F's are B's or P's... like fish is "Pish." You have started saying these Alot "OOoo.What dis?" or "ooooOOoo. Who Dat?"


You went on your 3rd airplane ride & cooperated very well. I don't know how people fly alone with toddlers for more than 1.5 hours. I exhausted every means of entertaining you, as well as, myself. You were apparently paying lots of attention at the airport and in the plane. We were watching a show (Golden Girls) and Rose was getting off the plane in the terminal, You said... Oooo... Airpane. In your landscapes book you point at the lake and say "Airpane" because that's what you saw most of the way flying over the swamps.

Out of no where you started recoginizing fleur de lis' and saying "saints."

You went to your 18 month checkup and were 26.2 lbs. Still 2 lbs less than before you had pneumonia. You were 32.5" long but I think that was wrong. You were having a fit & the nurse gave zero effort at accuracy. You were off of your growth curve so that's why I think it's wrong.



I still can't get you to say Lennox, I love you, please, or thank you. Hmmm... I think you're tricking.


I think we're entering the terrible two's or else you've been in a very bad mood lately. You are whining alot and having a fit over nothing... not that fits are new. You usually get REALLY ticked off when I tell you no but you obey, somewhat. Lately you just fall apart over everything though. Maybe it's one of my favorites excuses that "you're just tired" or "you're off your schedule!"

Also, just yesterday I told you no and you yelled NO in my face. Then I grabbed your hand and said "Stop it... you don't tell mommy no" and you said "You STOP!" UGHHHHHHHH.... If only we had not been in a restaurant at the time, I think we could have made that whole "you don't tell mommy no" a little more clear. I also attribute this bad behavior to being in presence of grandparents. You know that they let you do whatever you want so you just try to get away with being sassy pants in front of them. I was informed that "they don't teach him that." Well, duh. Nor do you teach him any rules. Oh, my bp is rising so I'll stop...

19 Months

New Tricks:

- I say "L" you say "E." I say "N-N" and you say "O X!" I have no clue if you know what you're doing but you do have a good memory. Last night in the tub you did pick up an L and say "L" then and O and say "O."

- You actually shoot the basketball at the goal and you have made it a few times. If you make it, you say "YESTH" and if you miss you say "Oh Man" or "I MISTHED." Yes, I think we have a potential lisp! ha.

- You are getting good at eating soup but you prefer to drink out of the bowl... or "gink" it.

- You sit on the potty before bathtime and say "PSSSSTTTTT" but nothing comes out, even when you grab it and squeeze... not sure why you think that will work!

- You don't really call animals their names you just tell me the sound they make. I asked you if you wanted a bite of rotissiere chicken and you kept saying "bock bock" when you wanted more.

Developments:
- When you jump, both feet clear the ground.

- You are great at throwing and have started trying to catch.

- You learned how to hit the ball with the bat if the ball is still.

- You can hit the golf ball with the golf club

- You finally got a molar... just one though

- You still tell me when you have poop. You still won't poop in the potty.

- You seem to be catching on to colors and shapes. I thought the color situation was just not going to happen any time soon but on Monday you pointed to a dinosaur on your PJs and said "Yellow" and then pointed to another one and said "Red." You were right and I was impressed.

- You can drink out of a big cup without a sippy top but you can't get it off the table and carry it to the living room without spilling... and then stomping through it and wiping it with your hands.

What you love right now:
- Taking tops off of bottles or lids off of containers then putting them back on.

- Your books and your balls. Why did I waste so much money on the other toys.

- Melmo & Dora and you've developed a new love for Mouth... (Mickey Mouse Club House)

- Your pappey (pacifier). I know you shouldn't really have it at all or at least only in bed but I just think it's cute when you ask for Pappey... I guess I need to take it away soon. That's going to be painful.

- You sleep with your 2 stuffed Elmos, pappey, and your stuffed football. You try to gather them all up to take with you when you wake up.

- then the same old stuff you've always loved: Grandparents, animals, outside, baths, snacks


We still haven't made if for your 18 month visit but when you went in the first time with pneumonia you weighed 28.2 lbs. They didn't measure your length.
