He found his “friend”

Posted on September 28, 2007 8:22 am by TheAngelForever

Once again another baby milestone has been reached.

It only took 4 1/2 months, but JSL finally found his penis! Sad isn’t it what makes me laugh and find a need to blog?!

Last night we decided to make things easy to have JSL take a shower with mommy. So JL took the little guy to remove his diaper while I got the water temperature just right. JL comes back into the room laughing. I asked what was going on. So he tells me to look out of the curtain.

When I do I see JSL with his hand firmly clenched onto his "friend" and not letting go.

LOL – I was dying. JL and I couldn’t stop laughing.

Clearly he found it and was afraid to let go. We were finally able to make him move his hand from his newly found body part and head into the shower.

*sigh*

I guess I knew it was only time since he is a BOY!

Sick baby = bad mommy

Posted on September 24, 2007 9:04 am by TheAngelForever

*sigh*

I was hoping that I was going to be the only one that was sick in the house. I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Poor JSL is all stuffed up, has nose crust, and is sneezing up a storm. I had thought it was teething causing a lot, but now I think he has his first official cold. Silly me for thinking that the excess saliva from teething was backing up and causing him to sneeze. . . . I think that’s part of it, but not the whole story. Last night he woke up gagging and curled up on my shoulder after to fall asleep. He was so sweet and wanted to be in my arms. He then went back to sleep until almost 6:00. He went almost 12 hours without eating (mommy sure felt that).

It’s all my fault that he’s sick since I was breathing on him when nursing. What stinks is there’s nothing I can do for him beside saline to moisten his nose (need to get him a bottle later) and use a bulb syringe (UGH). If he gets a temperature I can do Tylenol, but that’s it. Poor monkey, at least I was able to take Musinex which really helped me to break up stuff to get out.

I think the little monkey is waking up now. He can’t get settled and the noises from him are making my heart break.

Wait for me big brother

Friday evening JSL was on the ground and NHL decided to entertain his little brother.

Please note that JSL started off on the blanket like so

Baby on the move

NHL then decided to take out his toy burger (not kosher since there’s cheese on it – *tsk* *tsk* *tsk*) and as you will see JSL scooted over to see what was going on. Please note the excitement on the little guy as he nears his goal.

NHL was shocked that JSL came to him

A little further still and then the burger is just a face plant away. Who knew a burger was so interesting?

JSL goes after NHL's burger

Mommy quickly pulled JSL back onto the blanket (I know mean, but needed). So this time NHL decides to put dinosaurs on parade for JSL to come after. Here’s NHL setting things up.

And here’s when they are all set and JSL is just starting to come after them.

JSL come get my dinosaurs

We are doomed if he’s already moving like this and only 4 months old. ACK!

Weekend update and photos of my boys (9-16-07)

Posted on September 19, 2007 8:52 pm by TheAngelForever

Sunday NHL had a birthday party to head to. So most of the morning was spent wrapping the gift, making a card, getting all of us ready . . . . fun stuff. While the rest of us were running around the house like crazy the little guy was napping. Here’s how I found him when he woke up. Apparently he has made up a new version of Peek-a-boo!

This was what I first saw

I have his attention so he peeks out (probably scared to see the "flashy thing" in my hands)

"Flashy thing" goes off and this is his reaction

Mommy decides to hunt down JSL behind the bumper. Here’s what I found.

He stays hidden a little longer and finally comes back out.

Next it was time to get everyone ready to head outside. Since it was cooler both boys needed a jacket or sweater on. Here’s NHL and JSL. This is the first time JSL has put on a sweater. Notice how fascinated JSL is with his big brother.

NHL seemed to have a really nice time at his friend’s bowling party. I think 14 of the 20 kids were there. We were able to meet a lot of the parents of the children and talk with a lot of them. To our surprise Miss L actually came to the party and was cheering the kids on and talking with all of them and us as well.

This was not NHL’s first time bowling, but the first time that JL and I saw him. Here are some photos from the party.

The first ball that we see him bowl.

Ever so slowly the ball moves down the alley.

On another turn up with a different ball we capture just how interested 4 and 5 year olds are with what happens once they release the ball.

Several parents wondered if we EVER feed NHL. Apparently he really enjoyed bowling alley pizza. It was nice to prove to Miss L that Noah can eat!

So that about sums up most of our day. The only other event of the day was when JL sprayed the wasp nest . . . sorry no photo of that.

Weekend photos of my boys (9-8-07)

Posted on September 16, 2007 10:28 pm by TheAngelForever

After we got home from the bookstore last Saturday NHL was antsy. He wanted to get energy out and decided to be Steve Irwin and swim around our house with goggles on. I was following him around trying to get a face shot, but the little monkey was just too darn quick. Here are some shots as I was "swimming" after him.

Here’s NHL heading to his room via the hallway:

Me thinks that leg is not a crocodile to wrestle. Mind you my skin may feel as dry as one

The little snot will NOT turn around to show me the goggles, so he continues to his room. (Please ignore the dust bunnies under his bed – those are our new pets. )

He quickly jumps onto the bed and takes the goggles off and gives me this BIG grin. He was so proud that he showed me. This picture makes me see how grown up NHL really is. Where did my baby go?

Soon after this the boys were getting restless thanks to the weather and being tired. So they all piled onto our bed to read the books NHL just purchased. I decided that that was a perfect time to take photos of my three special guys together. Here are some photos of my boys.

JSL was thrilled to curl up in JL’s arms and have a chance to chomp on his finger. Here’s a great shot of his big blue eyes (please do not stare directly into the nose hairs – LOL).

A bored NHL trying to figure out what to get into next.

Tired boys. . . one of them just won’t admit it. Thanks to that one the smallest one can’t sleep, but another is close to slumber.

I tried to get all three of the boys to smile. That just was not going to happen. So two of them decided to be silly. Here’s the result.

Can you tell I love taking photos of my three boys? Hey I have to try to catch up with JL. Now I’m excited to be able to do with with my own camera (which I did this weekend – not last).
