Hey everybody!

My cousin is so cool!

vaughn - october 2008

I have started to use reverse psychology with Vaughn when it comes to potty training. I have told him I am going to stop asking about going potty and just change his diaper. It has seemed to work. He says no and then he goes to the toilet and takes off his pants and diaper and goes. Now if I could just have him go without suggesting it.

He is now into 5T and is getting taller and taller. Some of the funny things he has been saying lately have been - "I'm not so happy with you right now mommy" or at bedtime saying " I'm sorry I was cranky - I was just tired". Tony took him to the Haunted Trolley in Excelsior on Friday. He wore his batman costume and wasn't too scared. Apparently, a man jumped out of a closet to scare him and all he said was "don't do that again".

He continues to be a great big brother. The only problem is he tries to hug Brock and ends up smothering him. Brock gets this look on his face like "give me my space" Vaughn means well and I make sure the "babe" doesn't get hurt.

Hug or wrestling move - you decide. When I asked the boys to pose for nanna this is what they did a few weeks ago.

brock - October 08

Brock has had a very active October. He has gained 2/12 lbs in less than 3 weeks. Today he is 14 lbs 10oz and 25 inches long. He smiles all the time and his active time is late morning early afternoon. He like to have quiet time and gets fussy when there is alot of noise or disruptions. He is extremely strong and can lift his head up. He like to sleep on his side too. His smile is funny and usually he tends to squint one eye and lift up one side of his mouth. He is starting to sleep now 4 to 5 hours at a time a night.

who you calling chubby!

The other day I decided to see just how "healthy" Brock has become. I thought I was a human pacifier, but now that I see these pictures I know it is the truth! You be the judge.

orange juice or crack you decide!

I am getting used to using the camera video option. Unfortunately, you have to turn your head sideways this time. Tony and I have a theory Vaughn gets hyper from orange juice - it looks like the suggestion of having orange juice does it too!

sweet revenge!

As a younger sister I yearned for the day to get my sweet revenge on my sister. It could have been the years of being sat on and told to "kiss the floor" (even in junior high) or the years of being teased about "Beth's mashed potatoes". I love my nephew Lukie. If he continues to give me material like this it will be easy to tease my older sister like she teased me. By the way - he wanted to eat the gravel and of course after a few bites II & I made him spit it out. We can't afford to send him to the dentist - of course they are only his baby teeth - he will get a new set some day. :)
