vaughn and the word police!

Vaughn has a tendency to tell you when you say "Naughty Words". It works out pretty well, except when he decides to tell you what he think is a naughty word. The other day coming back from daycare I said to him "pardon me" and he said "mommy don't say naughty words" Huh? He then proceeded to tell me "Mommy - you can't say fart on me" :)

Brocker and his new attitude!

My baby Brocker has started to show his independent streak. It was bound to happen. He has started to scoot his but around in circles to get what he wants. Sometimes it is the lotion bottle after his bath, sometimes the tv remote, and sometimes it is mommy's cell phone - the only bad thing is he cries when you try to give him something else. I guess he is a baby who knows what he wants! I wouldn't be surprised if he started crawling soon. His hair has also an independence streak too! It stands straight up in the middle.

Coffee is a beautiful thing!

Thank God for coffee! I love it. Vaughn knows that mommy like to have her large 1/2 caf with light roast and a little bit of cream. He can tell the coffee lady my order in a pinch. This week mommy went full caf! I am done nursing! 8 months and a few days! In any case, the end came because of Brocker's 4th double ear infection. I think we are on our way to ear tubes! So far so good with Brock tonight - 2nd night of sleep after starting meds!

ear infections!

I am going to keep a tally. Brock has had 3 double ear infections and he is almost 8 months old. At this rate he might beat Vaughn. I do have to pat myself on the back though - I can always tell they are getting ear infections. In fact, I usually take them into the doctor 2 days before they actually have the full blown infection. Example - took brock into dr on monday and today he had a 104 temp and double ear infection (even while on an antibiotic!) Someday they will both be super immune from all colds and bugs! Tony and I both agree Brock takes after Tony while sick - he doesn't handle it as well as vaughn and mommy. He kept us up all night long. I tried to nurse him, put him on our bed, rock him and finally I ended up putting him back in his crib. The only thing that calmed him down was Chris Cornell. He ended up falling asleep on the bathroom floor. :)

vaughn april 2009

Vaughn has been busy too.
Highlights include -

• Vaughn learning about growing plants at acorns and later that week decides to put the sprayer in the shower on his "peanuts" to "make them grow like daddy's"
• He likes to tattle on everyone!
  
• He likes to follow rules.

brocker 8 months

brock is such a funny baby! Highlights include -

• 22lbs today at dr.
  
• 3rd antibotic!
• He likes to grab anything that is not a baby toy - especially tv remotes. When you try to take them away he cries (that is the only time he usually crys)
• He is a very laid back baby. One day he will wind up and punch Vaughn when he pokes at him.
• He laughs when Tony teases me. I guess he is a quick study.
  
• He is almost able to do a sit-up by himself. He has been training for this for quite a while. He does more pilates moves than I do - legs up head up and hold!
• He likes his exersaucer and will poop like clockwork when you put him in it.
• He is extremely ticklish.
• I think we just stopped swaddling him. We will see if he sleeps all night. If not, it is back to the baby yarn prison.

easter 2009

Vaughn and Brock had a great easter! Highlights included visits from my cousin Brent, his wife Lori and their kids Zack and Brooke and Nana & II. I have been told to update the blog. I admit I have been lazy! Funny stories about Easter -

Our neighbor Berva came to with a chocolate rabbit to give to Vaughn (apparently the Easter Bunny left candy at her house for Vaughn :)) Vaughn asked if it was a treat - since he hadn't seen one before. He went onto go into the living room and took all the foil off and ate the chocolate ears before Tony found him.

We went to Papa's and Grandmas after to play with Campbell and look for easter eggs.
