backyard gang

We played outside this morning, despite a busted lip (not sure if you can tell his right upper lip is busted and swollen. He ran into the gate.. Other than that not much is going on. Just working out and playing. We took a bubble bath for the first time last night. he loved it. It was really hard for me to wash my hair though. He wanted to sit on my lap the entire time. Well I have a webalbum you all can visit as well Our family album, or for you lazier types, i've added the link to the toolbar. That's all i can do for now I'm gonna work out while chunk is sleeping.

Poop

We had a busy weekend. No sleep Friday night, Saturday Chunk hurt his hand in Stillwater. We went to see DH's great aunt who turned 90 yrs old. She looked beautiful and not a day over 80 lol. Anyway we thought he broke it but he didn't. Well we went to my parents house and put the boy to bed only to have him screaming at midnight because he hasn't "pooped" in three days. So I run to Wal-Mart at Midnight, no bra..bed head. He had me worried. He' back to his two a days now. But came home and had alot of fun with the whole proceedure to get him to feel better. He slept in the bed with me and kicked me and rolled around and figured out that his favorite place was right up against me. Luckily I can sleep without moving much. Needless to say I'm tired today. And having terrible allergies from my aunt's cat. I feel like I have a really bad cold. He's screaming right now though. His poor little hand is swollen and bruised so badly...it's kind of sad. He's moving it okay though, giving him tylenol for it.

short picture post

I thought I would post the latest pictures of us playing. Just doing what we always do really...I don't have much to say. Been busy trying to get back on the diet wagon. Been working out religiously but eating alot more. I am still moody and weepy...not sure what that's about. Yesterday we had a fun playdate with a friend and then worked out and walked yesterday. The boy is cutting another tooth I think he cried all night off and on, but slept till 9:45...so i was able to wake up work out and shower...but now our schedule is messed up.  

Gopher Holes=Fun Dirt

We have a gopher hole in our backyard that chunk played in all day yesterday. He rubbed it all over his head and face. It was very funny. My pictures don't do it justice mainly cause he wiped his hands on his pants. He is all boy, that's all I have to say about it. He has started posing for pictures now when I say 1, 2, 3. He thinks all numbers are 2 now. Everything is 2. It's pretty cute though. He is also saying ABC and really repeating everything we say. I meant to blog about it sunday. He learned Okie Dokie at church I think. We are having so much fun especially with this new cooler weather. Have any of you hear of someone being bit by a gopher? DH swears he was. I let Chunk play in it all afternoon and he freaked out telling me about being bit, so I guess we need to get a trap or something.  

picture post take two

I had alot written using my picasa editor to blog..but something snazzled...and didn't work...so here are my pictures from this weekend.

My Little Buddy...

You know it is wonderful to have another family member around now...When DH is gone for the weekend and Im alone, he is now more of a companion. Yes I take care of him and all that other stuff but he is starting to take care of me sometimes which is pretty sweet. He pats my back and trys to feed me. He scratches my back with his forks from his kitchen. He brushes my hair, and teeth with the same brush that I brush his with. He brings me gifts throughout the day like banana peel and says "there you go." smiling like he's given me a great present. He points out things that we always miss in television shows like where all the elmos and cars and fish and dogs (arfs as he calls them) I will see a comercial and not notice the duck, but he is very good and pointing it out. He dances for me and says dance. I'm not alone when I clap for contestants on game shows or clap in time with music. I have someone to listen to me when I talk to myself most importantly, so that it's not known how crazy I really am. And I get hugs and kisses constantly which i may have already mentioned , but they are worth mentioning again and again.

Chunks favorite things at the mall

Chunks favorite things to do at any mall of course is the dirty ole play area. He finally can crawl into the cars and the cows and things and fall off of them quite safely. But any driving we do to get to this mall is a waste, because he will only play for a few short minutes until discovering the books on the other side. He will sit here for hours reading and getting new books. Most of the time other kids will tumble over the couch (which irritates me!) and fall on him, or take his book away and bully him. He waits and grabs the book back once the child leaves him alone and will resume his reading. It's really cute and makes me proud that he isn't bothered by other kids. Of course who knows how long this will last. He is beat up on frequently by kids who don't know how old he really is. They will pick on him and he is just nice as can be to these older kids. He's not huge but there have been a few older kids the same size as he is that have picked on him. I just hope he always stays gentle and thoughtful.

I Love his emotions...every one of them!

It seems that being a toddler is all about expression. I've heard that as he get's older he'll learn to regulate these alittle better. Sometimes It feels like I'm raising a crazy person (no offense, other crazy people). He switches from extreme happiness to screaming his head off. This is a picture from quite awhile ago. I took it with my cell phone but it's so cute. He looks like he just said "whatchoo talking bout mommy?"

Extreme Living

This is the main reason I don't take many pictures. he either looks like this because he wants my camera and I won't let him have it, or ....... He Looks like this...asleep and peaceful. I haven't been blogging lately....just couldn't get any pictures or didn't have much to say. I will say that I am having some issues about my emotions...Perhaps it's just hormones who knows...I am crying at the drop of a hat. It's getting really embarrassing. It bad cause i get scared or embarrassed that i even started it and then cry harder. I'm not sure what the deal is. I'm sure its hormones cause i was weepy at family reunion and that was about where I am now...second week in august...yeah it's just about right. I wonder if there is a special pill I can take to not cry so much lol. I was in church today and while it was a great message I was bawling like a baby. Yes it touched me, but i was very embarrassed. Yesterday a woman brought some twin 2 month old twins into the scrap that i was at and they were wearing blue sleep n plays...and it was instantaneous I started crying. Of course that goes in hand with my bad case of baby fever that I've been having. I used to cry even worse before I had him in the first place. 

A Fond Farewell to Hot Weather, Alas I knew ye well.

We are starting to wear jeans in the mornings now. I'm very excited, but it was a good summer despite the expense of cool air and gasoline. This was Chunks first summer to really enjoy all it has to offer. He did not do well with the swimming, or large pools of water are very scary for me. We opted for the the splashparks and man did we have a blast. I was always coming home with a wet shirt. Mostly having to run through and catch him before he ran away from me. And of course the wet shirt from having to drag him crying away from the place. We could have stayed all day, however he was sleepy most days and would start falling down and I would have to see through his desperate plea to keep playing. After all I am the mommy. Thanks to Misty for the great pics. I am usually chasing..so i don't take so many pictures.
