Axl Funnies 2013 (In progress...)

January

"I'm the Holy Ghost and I boo you!" ...I think he's a bit confused...

When I stopped what I was doing to blow up Axl's balloon he went over to the wall and informed me that I could "move back up to yellow"

April

We are watching "Meet the Robinsons". I just looked over at Axl and he was crying. Real tears. I asked him what was wrong and he said the movie made him sad. It was the part where the little boy messes up his adoption interview. I then started crying. How do kids learn empathy like that??? I love this boy.

May 

After Axl followed me around with the camera for about 20 minutes asking over and over to "cheese my belly button" and I repeated "no" about 20 times I decided to just shut him up. He gets his camera ready, I lift my shirt a bit and he says, "ooh, it's SO grumpy!"  Thanks, Axl.

July

Axl went to bed with a belly ache. I just went in to check on him, got him some water, and as I was leaving--
Axl- mom, I'm feeling better
Me-oh, I'm so glad
Axl-yeah. Well, it still a little bit hurts. A little hurt. Like a mouse.

August

When I worked for quite some time hanging up the curtains, the kids were just playing and watching TV.  As I finished with one, Axl looked up at me and said, "Wow, mom.  Nice windows."

We were searching the house for Axl's beloved blue blanket.  "Ugh.  I just had it a hundred years ago."  He has said this before. :)

Cooper Funnies 2013 (In progress...)

January

Axl "are we going sledding?"
Mom "no, axl, we are going to Bounce U"
Cooper "yeah, and bounce me, too!"

February

 

When Coop brought some play kitchen pieces to Alexa upset that they were colored on, Alexa told her the gym ghost did it. She replied, very exasperated, "oh my goodness, the Holy Ghost colored on the toys!"

 

May

I'm sitting on the couch nursing Naomi and Cooper comes up and says, "here's your iPad,mom" whilst holding out my breast pad...I wish that was an iPad, Coop, I wish.

Naomi's 6 month stats

Weight: 15 pounds = 45th %
Height: 25 inches = 25th %
Head Circumference: 44 cm = 88th %

She's just our 15 lb, big-brained, little shorty! :)

Naomi's 4 month stats

Naomi had her 4 month well baby today. 

Weight: 13 lb 5 oz = 95th %...I think they may have calculated this wrong
Height: 25 in = 75th %
HC 42.7 cm = 77th %

Poor girl had to get 4 shots!  Cooper was upset because she had just dropped her sucker accidentally in the trash.  I put her up on the table and asked her to help me with Yomi while she got her shots.  The nurse got out the needles and it was so precious how scared Cooper was for the baby.  You would have thought she was the one getting the shots with the anxiety pouring out of her!  She was a good helper, though, and rubbed her head.  She even asked the mom of the year where her yummy was...yes I forgot to give Naomi her pacifier while getting shot in the leg with huge needles four times.  Good thing she has a great mother in Coop.  :)

Naomi is 4 months old!

Our little Yomi Tinker is 4 months old!  Some notes this month...

• Fingers to mouth, out to grin, fingers to mouth, out to grin, repeat... :)
• Still 1 tooth, but slobbering, slobbering, slobbering...
• Found her voice a few days ago...love the little jibber jabbers...she talks mostly in the evening after the kids have gone to bed.  It's a fun time.  :)
• We have officially traded in the 0-3 month clothes for 3-6; all still fit except the length of the legs and arms.  Maybe she'll be tall.  :)
• I've kind of forgotten to document any schedule stuff with Naomi, but I'll write it down here in case I wonder about it later.  At this point she still is eating every three hours starting at 8 am and taking a nap after waketime between each of the feedings.  Her waketime is about 1.5-2 hours long.  She is not sleeping through the night; I usually feed her once, but the time she wakes up is not necessarily consistent, partially because most nights I'm too lazy to wake her for the 11pm dreamfeed so it depends on whether or not I do that.  Though, sometimes I don't and she still doesn't wake up until about 5:30 or 6!  We're getting there!
• She absolutely scared me to death with an episode she had this month while I was nursing her, but I don't want to write it all out right now.  And she is definitely A-OK :)

Girly Milestone

Naomi is 3 months old!

  

 This month's picture really reminded me of Cooper, so I went back and found Coop's 3 month picture.  WOW.  They sure are sisters.  :)

  

 

 

 

 

We found ourselves at the doctor this month for Naomi's 2 month check up.  

Weight 11 lb 2 oz = 50th percentile

Height 23" = 75th percentile

HC 41.4 = 92nd percentile!!

and then another trip to the doctor for all three with stomach viruses AND flu-type virus.  Also had them check on her persistent rash that I thought was yeast and he says "baby acne"...who knew there was such a thing?

 

 After her shots.  She was a SERIOUS trooper.  Cried for a couple seconds and then was COMPLETELY fine...just wanted to go to sleep.  :)
