1 Week Check Up


Hudson had his 1 week check up today. He is up 2 ounces from his birth weight, which is fantastic! Babies usually drop some weight after birth and they would like to see them back at their birth weight at 2 weeks. So our little porker is at his birth weight plus at one week... makes me feel a bit better about his waking to eat every hour at night :)


He is a little jaundice... which is normal but the dr. had blood work done just to check his levels. Those results should be in this afternoon... hoping they are low so he doesn't have to go back in tomorrow and get poked... he isn't fond of that process at all!!


The above picture is of him passed out in his swing... wish he slept this well at night :)

Haylee and Mommy's 1st Gingerbread House


Haylee and I decorated a Gingerbread House the week before Christmas. Here is a picture of our master piece... I was really shocked the roof stayed on... maybe next year it will be a bit easier on the eyes but hey it was our first ever... not to shabby... Thank goodness it is a once a year tradition!

Happy Belated Birthday Grandma!

Also wanted to send out a quick Happy Belated Birthday Grandma!! Would've posted on your birthday but I was having your Great Grandson :)

Introducing Hudson Allen Anderson

This post is a bit delayed... sorry it has been crazy here at the Anderson Home.

Hudson Allen Anderson arrived on Tuesday Dec. 23rd at 11:49pm. He weighed 7lbs 9oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He has a full head of dark brown hair and brown eyes!!! I am still in shock about his hair... but love it!

I had a scheduled induction that was to start at 2pm. They finally got my meds. started about 3:30, the dr then had a nurse break my water around 5pm. At that point in my my contractions got really painful. I finally got my epidural around 7pm or so. The pain went away but I started to feel sick to my stomach. Finally around 11:30 I was ready to push but had to wait for my dr. to arrive. Once he arrived 3 pushes later Hudson was here.

His APGAR scores for 9 and 9 so very good! He is a good eater and sleeper... Hoping he will sleep through the night as early as Hayden did :)

Haylee loves her little brother. She always tells me how cute he is, and Hayden comes and pats him on his head... but other then that not much interest in him. I think once Hudson is awake more and does more Hayden will want more to do with him.

I'm slowly feeling better. Sore and tired but so happy to be home and have our new baby home with us. I got released Christmas Eve which was a pleasant surprise since I thought we would have to celebrate Christmas on the 26th.

We had a great Christmas! The kids got tons of toys and we had a yummy dinner. I was so excited to have a big Christmas dinner.

I will post pictures of Hudson and Christmas once I get my camera out of my hospital bag.

Tomorrow is the Big Day!

Hopefully... I have my Amnio today and we will find out if Hudson is ready to make his arrival... keep your fingers crossed....

We have been running around like mad trying to get everything ready for his arrival and get everything together for Christmas which this year we will celebrate on the 26th... so glad Haylee doesn't know what day Christmas is on :)

I will post pictures of Hudson as soon as I can... hoping the hospital has Wifi but not holding my breath.

I will update on if we will for sure have and induction tomorrow.

Snow Play







I should've have taken pictures last night when it looked like a blizzard outside but here is whats left of the snow in our backyard. We woke up this morning and the Vegas Sunshine had returned and was melting away our precious snow. However that didn't stop Haylee and Hayden from wanting to go out and play in the backyard.






The above pictures are Haylee eating snow (not yellow), Hayden playing with the water dripping from our patio covering, and Haylee feeding snow to Yukon.






Enjoy!

Snow Storm in Las Vegas

Tonight we are supposed to have the biggest snow storm since 1979.... some areas might get 10 inches of snow... right now they are not allowing planes land at the airport because of visibility. Hopefully this will all go away by Saturday and hopefully I don't go into labor tonight...

I don't think Jeffery has been trained how to deliver a baby :)

We currently have snow sticking on our grass in our backyard... our palm trees have snow on them... yes that is right PALM TREES... Crazy! Haylee is excited but poor girl is sick so she is just lounging on the couch. Hayden goes and looks out the slider and then bangs his head on the door and runs off... not sure if that means he likes the snow or not.

Jeffery still has to drive down south tomorrow regardless.. His trainers said they understand if some guys are late tomorrow... LATE nice... which is probably a test and they want to see who takes the initiative to get up earlier to make it there on time...

I will post pictures of our snow in the morning!

Yukon




Haven't posted a picture of the dog in a bit... he is huge!! He looks all wet and gross in this picture but that is because he was... it was snowing and raining... also here is a picture of the snow in Las Vegas... it didn't stick at our house but my friend Michelle had a few inches at her house which is closer to the mountains.


New Stockings







Jeffery's Mom and Stepdad had personalized stockings made for the kids. They are totally cute!

9 Months Pregnant with a Stomach Virus

Good Times!!

Hayden seems to be recovering from the virus... Haylee and I are in the rough stage and we are hoping that Jeffery can avoid it at all costs.

Today will be a lazy day... PJ's all day and we might not leave the couch much.

Today is also Jeffery and my 4 year wedding anniversary... I am sick and he is getting beat up at work... Happy Anniversary :)

I may just have him pick up some Outback on his way home... that is our tradition Outback on our anniversary... we went there after we got married... plus some cheese fries with bacon sound fantastic right now... :)

5 days or less until Hudson is here!!

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Date Set

If Hudson doesn't arrive on his own we will be evicting him on Tuesday the 23rd. I will be admitted to the hospital at 2pm... Jeffery works that day but I figure I can get in get set up and started and have him come after work.

He has 5 days off in a row, so we know he will be there and won't have to worry about lack of sleep for a few days.

I have a feeling now that we have a date set Hudson will come before then ... Wouldn't that just be our luck :)

Another False Alarm

All day Friday I was feeling 'off' and I was contracting on and off... around 12 they started becoming regular every 3 mins and then ended up being every 2 mins or so... and getting more uncomfortable.. I really thought this was IT...

Went to the hospital and got hooked up to the monitors... sure enough I was contracting but turns out they weren't strong enough to cause any change BOOO!! So I was sent home... just another fake out by our baby boy Hudson.

I have a doctors appt. tomorrow. I will talk to my dr about possible induction if I haven't had him by Christmas night. I would like to go in Christmas night and have him the following day. Jeffery has 5 days off starting Christmas Eve and that way we know for sure he will be at the delivery. I don't want to be induced Tuesday night because that means I will miss Christmas morning with the kids... we'll see what the dr says.

Magical Forest
















Today we went with our playgroup to the Magical Forest. It is a Christmas themed forest they set up that has a train, carousal, tons of decorated trees, and Santa Claus.

We didn't ride the carousal since I can't get on.. no pregnant ladies allowed. We did ride the train. Haylee loved it! She took her picture with Santa... Hayden was a no go on the picture with him. We did get a family photo with Santa this last weekend so I wasn't to upset.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Off Bed Rest!!





Yes that is right I am officially allowed to get up walk around and leave my house!!! So excited... and go figure now that the drs are ok with Hudson to arrive... no signs he will becoming in the near future... well ok I guess he'll be here in a least 4 weeks...

We got our family pictures done and they will be sent out in our Christmas cards but here is a preview of some of the shots! ENJOY!!

Rain

I woke up this morning to the sound of rain hitting my bedroom window.... I loved it!! I know those of you in Wa. reading this think I'm crazy but we get maybe rain once every few months... and it usually only lasts half hour max.

This morning it rained for a good 2 hours or so. It was fantastic. The kids loved it but Hayden wouldn't leave the covered patio... Haylee doesn't remember the rain from Seattle so everytime it rains she gets super excited.

Deja Vu

Ended up at Labor and Delivery again yesterday. I was having what I thought were contractions starting around 10am... I called the hospital around 1130 and she told me to take my medicine now to see if that would slow them down... It didn't. So off to Labor and Delivery we went. Had to wait for a bed for 2 hrs in the waiting room... That was pleasent... NOT!!

Once we got in a room I told the nurse once she hooked me up to the monitors they would probably go away and nothing would show up... I was wrong! I was contracting every 6 mins with smaller ones in between. So I took my medicine again aroudn 530 and they slowed to about 1 or 2 an hour. I was sent home.

Hudson really seems to want out but I would like him in there for a couple more weeks. However if he does come now he shouldn't have any issues since I am past the 34 week mark now... Might need a little help breathing on his own to start but other then that all should be ok... However I would rather not have any issues obviously. I have to call my Dr. this morning and let him know what happened yesterday and see what he would like to do.


Looks like I might have to get Hudson a Babys First Christmas Stocking and outfit afterall.

Labor and Delivery Trip.... Again

Thursday I had pretty bad lower back pain and cramping so I called the doctor and was told to go get checked at L&D AGAIN.... So I called my friend Michelle to come get me and we brought all 4 of our kids to our friend Melissa's house. Poor Melissa had 6 kids to watch.

We got there at around 12 and didn't even see a nurse till almost 2... there was a miscommunication and they didn't even know I was there.... good times. Anyway I got hooked up to the monitors and heard Hudson wonderful heartbeat and saw the my uterus was being 'cranky'.... or so the nurses called it. :)

I got 2 shots of a medicine that would relax my uterus and stop the 'crankiness' and help with my lower back pain. I also had an ultrasound to check the length of my cervix.... short cervix at 32 weeks... not a good sign. Got results and the doctors were happy with it's length so I was sent home still on bed rest and on my meds every 6 hours. The nurse also informed me that Hudson was breech.

That would explain some of the pain I had earlier that morning... he was flipping around. He was head down on Tuesday.... I am happy to report that I do believe he is head down once again.... at least I hope so and he better stay that way.

Police Academy Update -

Jeffery is doing really well in the academy... stressful as we expected and adding these latest issues that just adds more stress but we will get through one day at a time. He gets OC sprayed on Tuesday... OC spray is like pepper spray but worse. Poor guy... but he signed up for it :)

We think the classroom portion of the academy may be almost up... a couple more weeks. Then he will be getting hands on training ie shooting, self defense, driving the patrol car. So I'm sure that will be a lot more fun the sitting in a classroom for 10 hours a day.

The kids are doing good. Hayden is a little dare devil and thinks he can jump off our couch and hits his sister... Poor Haylee... Haylee has learned to write her name and write most of her ABCs.

Bed Rest Continues

I saw my doctor today and I am on bed rest until I hit the 36 week mark which is Dec 7th. I am also on medication to keep me from contracting. These Anderson boys really give their Mommy heck while in the womb :)

Hudson will have to relax and stay a bit longer in his current home.

Monday, November 10, 2008

Bed Rest... Again

I have been put on Bed Rest hopefully only until I see my doctor on Thursday. Sat. evening I started not feeling well. Really bad hot flashes that only a cold shower helped and a few pretty intense contractions and then the achy feeling I had when pregnant with Hayden... that ended up putting me on Bed Rest for 3 weeks. I figured I should go get checked out just to be on the safe side.

Jeffery and I went to labor and delivery and I was monitored for a few hours. I had only 2 contractions during that time that the machine picked up but the achy pain was there almost the whole time.

Baby Hudson is super low just like Hayden was.... so that is a concern. His head might cause me to dilate earlier then I should. They did a test to see if I would be at risk of going into labor within the next 2 weeks. That came back negative... thank goodness. It is way to early for him to arrive.

If I have this baby when I had Hayden which was at 36 1/2 weeks that is only about 4 1/2 weeks away... might be an early Dec. baby instead of an early Jan. baby.

Bed Rest with two little ones.... pretty much impossible but I am trying... though I have the nesting urge really bad. I want to clean and organize... there is so much I want to have done before Hudson arrives and the holidays too.

Hayden - Golfer

Park Play... or Dirt Play








We went to a brand new park today. Great toy structures especially for toddlers.... Where do our kids decide to play.... THE DIRT!!! They had it every where. Haylee was trying to make a snow angel.... yep in the dirt :)

Costume Pictures



Here are two pictures from the Halloween Party on Saturday. You will have to wait to see Hayden because he went down for a nap and didn't go to the party but he is the cutest little golfer ever!


Here is Haylee as Super Girl and Yours Truely as a Fairy Princess.

1 Week Down 21 To Go

Yes Jeff has finished one week of the Academy but the real training starts Monday. Black Monday is what it is called aka as Hell Week.... well lets be honest the next 21 weeks are going to be Hell but he will be well trained at the end of it. They say the next month and a half will be the hardest then they will start easing up on them..... I hope that is true.

Baby will be her in 10 or less weeks. The countdown has begun.... well actually the countdown started months ago really.

Today we have a Halloween party for the playgroup I am in. The kids are getting dressed up and so am I. Jeffery is out practicing with other guys from the Academy to try and prepare for Monday.

I will post pictures later of the kids in their costumes. Haylee is Super Girl and Hayden is a Golfer. I am a pregnant Fairy (it is a maternity costume).

Pumpkin Picking




Yesterday we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Here are some pictures from our time there. I was actually surprised that they have a pumpkin patch in Las Veags....

Daddy Stay Away From The Washing Machine

I always thought it would be nice to have Jeffery do some laundry here and there.... not so much anymore. I realized I am better off doing it on my own when I pulled Haylee's pink ballet tights from the dryer.... or should I say used to be pink ballet tights..... That's right they are now a lovely shade of gray hehe

Which is a great reminder I have to pick her up a new pair before ballet tomorrow.

On a sadder note Haylee's little friend next door is moving to AZ. tomorrow. She doesn't really get the concept of her moving away. Every time I try to explain Ashlynn is moving to AZ, she looks at me and asks 'where are we going Mommy'. Sorry kid were staying put for right now :)

Ashlynn isn't handling it to well. We have to be careful not to mention someone new moving next door to Haylee. She told her mom 'I don't want to move because someone else will live in this house and play with Haylee'.

Our Big Girl

I would like to announce that Haylee Marie is officially potty trained and no longer uses diapers. She has had the peeing on the potty down for sometime and recently she started pooing on the potty and now she sleeps through the night in big girl panties!!! In the words of our sweet girl 'I'm a big girl. Only babies wear diapers!' That's right princess!!!

Also I swear our little boy has grown a few inches in the past couple of days. He has been sleeping like we slipped him a sleeping pill. Today I brought him down from nap looked at him and thought to myself 'his legs have gotten longer'. Then my next door neighbor said he looks like he is thinning out. Bye bye baby chub... Oh how I'll miss his little rolls but I do have baby 3 coming that I can make nice and plump for awhile!

Oh and Haylee is well on her way to knowing all her letters. She has been able to sing the ABC's for sometime but she actually knows the letters when looking at them. We are up to 'K'. Yes we know she is a genius hehe

100 Days

That's right 100 more days until Baby #3 will be here! Probably sooner but we shall see! I am getting mixed reviews on if I look pregnant. I think I do and others do but every once in awhile I get someone that says it looks like I have just ate to much pizza. THANKS!!!!

I just ordered a tank top that says - Your Honor Student Did This - Hehe I love it. Jeffery didn't really get it. He was like so I'm the Honor Student :) Thought it is was cute saying after seeing all those Honor Stundent Bumper Stickers out there.

Great Quote

I was looking through and Upper Case Living catalog last night and came across this great saying:

When Somone You Love Becomes A Memory The Memory Becomes A Treasure.

I felt that saying was something that really hit home with the loses our family has experienced theses past couple of years.

Here are a few more that I really liked:

A Smile Happens In A Flash. Its Memory Lasts a Lifetime.

Life Is Not Measured By The Number Of Breaths We Take, But By The Moments That Take Our Breath Away.

Haylee Starts Ballet Today





We got her outfit yesterday and she is SO EXCITED to go to Ballet/Tap class. She is wearing her outfit now and it is only 7:30am and her class isn't until 1pm. She has a pose she does and then she does her 'Ballet' dance. So cute!! Here is a picture of her in her outfit and Hayden wanted some camera time too. He was saying ' CHEESE'.

It's Been Awhile

I didn't realize how much time has passed since I updated our blog.

Not a whole lot new going on in Las Vegas. We are hoping for a cool down in the weather soon. It has still been averaging over 100 daily. Yesterday we did have a thunder storm. Haylee and I watched it from the master bedroom window. She loves watching rain. She probably wouldn't like it so much if we had it daily.

Jeffery got a job offer to become a police officer contingent on him passing his physical exam by a doctor and a psychological exam. Those are both this week. So looks like he will be starting the academy October 13th. We should have more information the start of next week (we hope).

I'm just pluggin away making my bracelets. I have added a few other things to my list also. Embassy Suites here in Las Vegas wants to carry my bracelets. I made dice bracelets for them to sell in the gift shop. I should hopefully be hearing from them today (fingers crossed). I have a craft show this weekend. Kind of nice to have some 'Me' time. Jeffery watches the kids while I'm away.

Baby is growing well and we keep flip flopping on the name. I am now throwing Slade into the mix. I know not an 'H' name but I figure if we have another baby we can name him or her with an S too.

Haylee is cracking us up on a daily basis with the things she says. Last night she was playing in her kitchen and pretending to drink. She said 'Mommy kids don't drink beer. Kids drink juice, water, and chocolate milk.'

Hayden is talking more and more. Here are a list of things he can say:

Mama
Dada
Doggie
Thank You
Sister
Yeah
Banana
Your Welcome

Granted they aren't said in perfectly but you know that is what he is saying. You can ask him a question ie I asked him 'Hayden are you all done night night?' His response 'Yeah'. So cute!!

I am taking them to the park this morning. Since Hayden can walk and now trying to run and jump, he loves going to the park to be 'let loose'. I will post new pictures soon!

Friday, August 29, 2008

New Car

Jeffery will be hanging up the keys to his Honda and sitting behind the wheel of a 2005 Escalade! He truly deserves this new car. The Honda has been good to him but he needs something just a tad newer (1996 Honda) and a tad more room.

Got a great deal on this car since he is buying it from his current employer. Couldn't pass it up since we knew the Honda was going down hill.

We will post pictures once he gets it cleaned up. Downside to not buying from a dealership. NO DETAILING :)

So we now both have gas guzzlers. Thank goodness I don't drive much.

Not a Fan

Yesterday morning I was in the kitchen getting breakfast ready for Haylee and Hayden. Scooby Doo was on tv and the theme song was playing. I started singing along to it. Haylee looks up at me plugs her ears and says 'Mommy stop it hurts my ears!'

Not my number one fan I suppose.

Who Gets Sick in August?

The Andersons!!!

Yeah it is average 105 here daily but on Wed I was sick and yesterday Jeffery was sick. Hayden hasn't been feeling well but I thought it was teething but now I realize he could have had what we had.

I'm doing better now and hopefully Jeffery will feel better when he wakes up. It is only 7am he is still sleeping. MUST BE NICE ;) Hayden is too. Hopefully little man will wake up in a great mood and feel himself today.

Other News:

Haylee is now into saying 'Oh Shnikes' or she says 'Mommy look at me. Oh MAN!!!' She cracks me up but we have to be careful with the words we use because she repeats like crazy.

Hayden is walking like he has been doing it forever. He just does laps around our island in our kitchen and looks so happy while doing it. It is the funniest thing seeing him walk into a room, when we were so used to see him come in crawling.

Baby Boy - We can feel him move from the outside now. I just realized this last night. So this am after breakfast maybe I can get him moving so Jeffery can feel and Haylee too. I'm finally starting to look pregnant.... well kind of. Hopefully in a couple weeks I will pop. I thought I would show sooner with my 3rd guess not.

Jeffery - Passed his 'Truth Analysis' test on Monday so now we wait to hear if the Chief of Police okays him continuing on with the process but so far everything looks on schedule for Oct. MY HUSBAND IS GOING TO BE A COP!!! I am so proud of him though this has been super stressful and I know the first year of the new job will be a roller coaster ride. One day at a time right.

Happy Birthday!

Today is the birthday of two very special people! My Dad and my Grandpa. Happy Birthday!!

Hayden's Words


He is learning new words though you can totally understand him unless your around him a lot. He now says Thank You when you hand him something he wants. It comes out as 'Tant Tu'! I can't believe how fast these kids are growing up!


Haylee keeps telling me 'Mommy I'm 3 and I'm going to be 4 at my birthday party' already in a hurry to grow up.


She will be starting tumbling again in Sept. and I want to look for a ballet class for her too. Maybe soccer in the fall and ballet in the spring since it is so hot during spring and summer for soccer.


Here are pictures of the bracelets I made for them.

It's a Boy!!

We had our ultrasound this morning and right away the doctor could see that he was a boy! We also got to have a 4d scan! It was really cool seeing the baby and all his features! He is healthy and growing right on schedule! Great news all around! Right now we are thinking Hudson Allen Anderson for his name but that could change. We have 20 weeks to decide for sure.

Thursday, August 7, 2008

Ultra Sound Date Changed

To Saturday morning!!! So excited. I'm not a patient person so the wait was killing me! Haylee is excited to see the baby and find out if she will have another little brother or sister....Whom by the way she wants to name Haylee ;)

Wednesday, August 6, 2008

Pool Bids

We are thinking about putting a pool in our backyard. This heat is just to much some days and having a pool would be fantastic! The kids love the water and some days I just don't feel like driving to a friends pool or the public pool. So lets hope the bids are reasonable.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

One More Week

Next Wed. is the big reveal. Well that is if Baby shows us the goods. I sure hope so!

We went to the park this morning and Haylee played in the water and Hayden showed off his walking skills. He is so cute walking!

There is this indoor play date place called My Little Garden here and the owner is letting me set up a little display to sell my bracelets! I will put them in her store on Friday. It is only for this month though since she is closing. Bummer! Such a great place for the kids to play when it is too hot or too cold out.

I was there on Monday and it was packed with Mommy's, so hopefully I can sell a few bracelets there this month. I have sold several to Mommy friends and one may buy 24 to take to a craft fair in Cali next month!

It's Been Awhile...

Ok four days since our last post but thought we should update on the goings on here in Vegas.

Hayden - Teething still! Those teeth just don't want to break through. He is handling it pretty well the last couple of days *knocking on wood*. He is starting to really walk around like crazy. He gets so excited but then falls down because he can contain himself.

He is also a little dancer. Loves to rock out! At restaurants he will dance in his high chair to the music over head and does a little booty shake while at home hearing music from the tv.

Haylee - She is our little teenager. Her attitude is out of control some days. Jeff and I are thinking about selling her on Ebay ;) She does this high pitch scream that just shatters your ear drums.... it is horrible.

She has her cute moments too ;) The other day we were going to go to breakfast and she told me 'Mommy you have to go eat breakfast so the baby can grow.' Too cute!!!

Just trying to stay cool in the desert heat lately. Hopefully the cool down will start soon.

Yukon

We took Yukon in for his 4 month shots. The Dr. weighed him. She though he would weigh about 34lbs. He weighed 43lbs!!! He gained 20lbs in 6 weeks!! He is going to be a beast.

Swimming Today

Since it has been so hot here *It's like we live in a desert or something* we are going swimming at the Y today with some friends. Haylee loves this pool! There is a toddler pool that has awesome water features.

Update - No swimming for us. Hayden woke up with a canker sore. Took him to the Dr because we had no clue what it was. She said don't be to concerned just keep it clean and dry. I don't think going to the pool will keep it dry. So we are having Haylee's friend over for playdate instead. It's ok I love the a/c.

Baby Bracelets


I am making bracelets and selling them on Etsy.com. Esty is a website helps people sell their handmade goods. I love making them and it is very relaxing but Haylee can only have so many so I figured I would sell them too.

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6086710

Oldie But A Goodie

I love this video of Haylee and holy moly does she look like Hayden... or should I say Hayden looks like her. Anyway Haylee loves watching this video of herself and I just crack up everytime I see it too. ENJOY!!

Monday, July 28, 2008

New Shoes!

Haylee and Hayden got new shoes yesterday. Hayden actually got his first pair of shoes! He is starting to walk and I figured it was time. Before there wasn't really a reason for shoes since he didn't walk and it is so darn hot here. He kept looking at his feet and had a look on his face like 'what are these things'.

Haylee got a new pair too. I swear her feet are growing like crazy but I guess since she is going to be tall she needs them larger for good balance. She got a new pair of Sketchers that have changeable gems, so she can change the style of them whenever she wants. She loves shoes!!

Haylee's Sleeve


Today we went to a craft expo and they had a lady doing face painting for the kids. Haylee wanted butterflies on her arm. This is how it turned out. Now we just need to get her a pink mini motorcycle. Daddy may soon be running out of room in the garage with her Barbie Jeep she got for her birthday and the motorcycle she now needs to match her 'sleeve'.

Prediction....

The prediction for baby number 3 is BOY! 18 days and counting!

We Have Movement


I can feel the baby move!! I have felt the movement for a bit now but today I am totally sure it is baby.

Will They Ever Break Through?

Poor Hayden has been cutting these same 4 teeth for days now. Last night was rough for him, Mommy and Daddy. Jeffery got home from work and Hayden was crying in his crib. So he changed his diaper and gave him something to drink. That didn't calm Little Man.

I rocked with him for about 20 minutes till he finally was beat and passed out for the rest of the night. This is not our boys normal behavior. You all know how mellow he is. Hopefully they will cut through soon and then give us a bit of a break before the next ones come in, but with the way our children teeth that won't be the case. Haylee had all 20 before she was 2.

'No Way Mommy!'

For the life of me I can't get Haylee to poop on the potty. She tells me every time she needs to go and asks for a diaper. I then ask if she would like to go poop on the potty. Her response 'No Way Mommy'.

Fun in the Sun

Fun in the Sun!
Haylee swimming at a friend's house.
