Pictures

Here are some pics from the last month or so. I really didn't take many at all this month!

John Henry after he got into my makeup.




Sleeping in latex gloves. He found them and wanted to sleep with them on. Don't worry, I did take them off right after I took this picture.







The day I took him to get his "big trucks" which are matchbox sized trucks, he laid in his bed and played for about an hour. He is eating eminees (M&Ms) here.








Playing in a box.



On the potty. We aren't really potty training, but he read a Caillou book about the potty and wanted to go sit on it. He sat and read his book. In the book it says that Caillou goes to the potty b/c it makes his mommy happy. John Henry said, "I make Mommy happy. Make YOU happy" and pointed to me. Very cute!





Kurt had knee surgery last month, and he has been lying on the couch with his knee up and an ice pack. John Henry has been copying him and saying that his knee hurts too.




2 pappys. He was so excited about having both of them.









Kurt found a baby frog in our yard and brought it in. John Henry will never hold the big frogs, but he wasn't scared of the baby frog.


Bailey, John Henry, and "Puppy Dog"

Monday Morning Meltdown

Yesterday John Henry and I went to Birmingham to visit Monnie and go to a wedding shower in Harpersville. He didn't get a nap last night, and he didn't fall asleep until 10:30 last night!

So I know he was tired when we got up this morning, but he was so bad! I gave him some milk with banana flavoring. Then I went to go make him some cereal. I smelled the milk and it was rotten. And John Henry drank the sippy cup. Ugh, I am gagging just thinking about it. Since we didn't have any cereal I gave him the last muffin. On the way to hand the muffin to him, I ate a bite out of it. Big mistake. John Henry was lying on the floor, but he stood up to throw himself down and scream, "No Mommy. Don't bite my muffin" over and over again. It was a tragedy. I was on the phone with my mom, and he said he wanted Monnie.

John Henry telling Monnie, "Mommy bite my muffin. John Henry cry." Can you see the tears?

So we made more muffins.

John Henry crying because I stirred the muffin mix. He wouldn't stir it after I did. He was SO mad. Please ignore the mess; it is all clean now. :)

I didn't get a pic of the meltdown that happened when Bailey got the muffin that he wouldn't eat and took it to her bed. John Henry didn't want it, but he sure didn't want Bailey to have it.

Here he is after eating a pop tart and a muffin. Heathly breakfast here today!

Thank the Lord it is naptime now!

I have a biter!

Sorry, this is another post without pictures.

I think John Henry's medicine hypes him up. When it is time to go to bed, he acts like a nut! Last night, we were lying in my bed, and he tried to bite the collar of my shirt. He accidentally bit me, and I screamed and yelled at him not to bite. I knew he didn't mean to, but it hurt! I must have really scared him b/c he cried a sad cry and cried, "Hold Daddy please" over and over.

After Kurt held him and he calmed down, we went back to bed. I was trying to get him to go to sleep by totally ignoring him when he talked. It was like 11:30 at this point! He got in my face and said, "I bite Mommy again." I ignored him a few times, but he kept saying it. I told him he would get a big spanking if he bit me. He said it again, so I said, "John Henry, if you bite me, you will get a VERY BIG spanking."

Well, the little turd reached up and bit me in the face! It wasn't hard, but he did bite me. I spanked him and put him on the other side of the bed so he couldn't lay with me. He cried and cried. He kept crying, "I want Mommy. I want Mommy please." After a few min, I held him again and told him not to bite and all that. Then he kept saying, "I won't bite Mommy again. I won't bite Mommy again." After 5 more min, he was still crying and he said, "Sorry Mommy." He said it two times.

Thank the Lord he felt bad about it, but I could not believe that he bit me! Maybe it is a good thing he isn't going to mom's day out!

This is very random, but tonight while we were outside with our neighbors, we saw a baby frog, then a bat just fell out of the sky next to me and Sharon! It was flopping all around and I was scared to death. I think it had a hurt wing. Kurt shined the flashlight in it's face and it flew (kind of hobbled/flew) away. Then, Kurt almost stepped on a snake in our garage. He ran out of the garage screaming. He, Wayne, and Sharon "scared it away by banging their shovels big hard." That is according to John Henry. Really, it is in about 10 pieces right now. It was very entertaining around here last night, but not as good as the time a deer jumped through our yard and almost ran into Kurt. :)

My baby's first sickness

Ok, this got really long, but I had to write it all out so I will remember! Sorry. I know this won't be interesting to anyone but my mom and dad! :)

Thursday afternoon John Henry and I went to Decatur to go to Publix and Target. While we were there Kurt called and said he had a fever of 101.5, and he felt terrible. I freaked out and told him to hide in one of the back bedrooms b/c I was coming to pack John Henry's and my stuff so we could go to Birmingham and avoid getting sick.

I dropped John Henry off at the neighbor's so he wouldn't get any germs. I ran home, put Lysol wipes on my hands and my shirt over my face. I packed in about 5 min. and went on to Birmingham. While I was leaving for Birmingham, Kurt was going to the Emergency Room. He had called the doctor, and they said it could be the flu and he needed to go to the ER. Turns out it was bronchitis and it wasn't contagious after all! But since we were already in Birmingham, we decided to stay.

Friday night John Henry got a runny nose and itchy eyes. I went to get him Benadryl b/c we thought it was allergies. He had a really hard time going to sleep that night and finally fell asleep around 11:45. He woke up at 12:45, and he was miserable. He laid on me and watched Caillou and Barney. I noticed he was drooling all over me, but I figured it was b/c he was mouth breathing.

Saturday morning when he woke up, he was so sick! We went to Walgreens and got a thermometer. His fever was 99.3, and I didn't think I should call the doctor. My mom thought otherwise and made her feelings known! I took his temp again, and it was 101. I called the doc and got him an appt.

I got there at 11:45, and it was packed with kids who looked like they were dying. I sat in the corner and tried not to breathe. Of course John Henry touched everything. I noticed a girl that I blog stalk in there. I finally got up the nerve to tell her I didn't know her, but I read her blog. We talked and she was really nice.

We got called back and hour later (and 2 kids came out who had the flu. I am praying we dont' get it!). The doc said John Henry's throat looked red, so they cultured it and did a flu test. The nurse JAMMED it down it throat and then one up his nose. He was so upset. Then she dropped it on the floor before she put it in the culture tube. I thought that was prob. not what was supposed to happen, but there was no way I was saying something and making John Henry go though all that again! He kept saying, "What happened Mommy?" I felt so guilty!

Anyway, he has strep. Which is why he was drooling over me. His throat hurt to badly to swallow. :( We got our bubblegum medicine (which I am so jealous of. I love that stuff!), and we back to Monnie's. John Henry cried and cried when I first made him take it and kept saying, "I don't like it." I had to squirt it through the space in his teeth. :) Ten minutes after his first dose of motrin and he was like a new kid- running around and playing.

He is so much better, but now my mom is sick! :( And he loves his bubblegum medicine now. He says, "More please" after he is done with his meds.

Sorry this got to so long. Oh, and I kind of owe Kurt and apology b/c I called him on the way to the doctor's office and blamed him for getting John Henry sick. Kurt is better too now, but he is still coughing. Hopefully both babies will be well soon! :)

John Henry while he was sick-

After he felt better. This was 9:30 at night.



When we got home, Kurt and John Henry mowed the backyard. John Henry thought it was so fun.

I promise I will get pics soon

I have been really lazy about uploading pics lately. I will get some soon! I have one really funny one of John Henry sleeping in latex gloves. Who knows?!

I just have to write this before I forget.

A few days ago, I was telling John Henry that mommy has a baby in her tummy. He looked at me and said, "Oh. No." I was cracking up! Then he wanted to see it. I kept telling him he couldn't see it, but he wouldn't give up, so I finally showed him my stomach. He pointed to my belly button and said, "Baby live in that hole?" He is so funny!

Then that night, he was lying on the couch with the snuggie "like Daddy." He only had on a diaper, and he was patting his tummy saying, "John Enny's baby in my tummy."

We have great neighbors here! On one side we have Wayne and Sharron who are our parents' age. They LOVE John Henry. Wayne plays ball with help and lets John Henry "help" cut the grass. Robin and Shawn live on the other side. They have a 6 year old named Hanna and a 5 year old named Zach. They are really nice. BUT Kurt says to me (obviously too much) that Hanna and Zach need spankings.

Well, the other night there was a giant moth on our door. It was huge. John Henry kept wanting to go outside to look at it. When we were about to go in, I told him that the moth was going to fly away. He said, "It fly to Robin and Shawn's house and give Hanna and Zach a spanking." Whoops! Guess Kurt and I need to watch what we say! (If you know them, please don't tell them that story!) The funny thing is, we had not said anything about them for at least a week or two. He just remembered.
