Home Sick :(

This morning Deji woke up and started throwing up. I first thought it was just spit up with chunks, but then after having breakfast he threw up again. This was right before I left for school, so I took him up there to get a sub and make sub plans. Right before we left he started throwing up again. . We got home and he wanted to eat and I thought an egg would be easy on his tummy, but three bites into it he threw up again. I have called the doctor, but that maybe it is just a 24hour thing. Poor baby, last week was rough and now this.

HAPPY AGAIN!

Deji is back to his old self again. Last week was just horrible. He was cranky, and crabby, and just plain not happy. He didn't laugh for days and that was hard to deal with. I am wondering if it was just his teeth hurting. He has four coming at the same time. Two are in and the other two are half way there. It is just nice to have my smiling, happy boy back.

Big Boy

Femi is growing so fast. Today he went number 2 at daycare. We have been trying to get him to go for a couple of weeks now and finally he went! He was so excited to tell me. He is really working hard to get all his marbles so he can go to the farm again. He had so much fun hanging out with his Paw Paw and cousins. We got see Cameron play basketball while we were there over MLK weekend. I decided not to do the chart again because he filled it up quickly last time and by doing marbles in a jar, he has to really earn his way to the farm. We are trying to get him to tell us that he needs to go, instead of us asking him. Not only is he learning to go potty, but he is just a great big brother. He just loves Deji and tries to include him in his play. Femi has really started to do imaginary playing. He pretends he is a frog hopping, he pretends he is an airplane flying all over the yard, he pretends that he is Dugary from speed racer, and I have to be Mock 5 and Deji is the green car. He has been asking to go to the park lately, but it has been so cold. Saturday was a great day, it was about 50 degrees and we spent a couple of hours outside. It was just nice being outside without have fifty millions layers on. I can't wait for Spring!

No More Bottles!

It is official. Deji is no longer using a bottle. I didn't mean for it to happen so soon. We have been cutting back on the number of bottles he has in a day. Basically he had one in the morning at night. Well we went to the Farm this weekend because Femi filled his potty chart and I forgot to pack a bottle for Deji. He did fine without it, so when we got home we packed up all of the bottles. My baby is not a baby any more. :(

Mom's Little helper

Femi loves helping in the kitchen. Whenever I am cooking he is there to help cut, stir, or taste. I love that he likes to help. Not only do we spend time together, but he is getting trained for his future wife.

I year check up and Blue mouth.

Deji Finally had his one year check up. Of course his is perfectly healthy. He had to get four shots today. :( Poor baby. I felt so bad having to hold him while he was crying. It is funny that with Femi's first year check up, I was telling Dr. Morris that I was pregnant again. Well Deji weighed 24lbs and is in the 75th percentile, he is 31 inches tall and in the 85th percentile. He is catching up to big brother! Speaking of big brother, he got a hold of a marker and ended up with a blue mouth for the night.

Strange Bed Fellows

Last night when I went to check on the boys before going to bed I noticed that Femi had a bed buddy. I will let the picture speak for itself. He is so into the farm right now. Like today he would not take off his coat because he thought we were going to the farm after he got home from daycare. I had to bribe him to take off his coat.

On a bright note, I am using his love for the farm to motivate him to use the potty. I created a potty chart for him. Hopefully it will work. I will let you know soon. Here is picture of my lovely chart. Tonight he did a great job of asking to go number two. Ryan had him in bed already and all of a sudden he said he had to go poop. He wouldn't let Ryan take him, for some reason I am the only one he wants with him in the bathroom when he does his business, maybe it is the signing that he likes. Anyway he did a great job. Boy this boy has a lot of poop inside him. No I did not take a picture this time. :)

Potty Time and Hellos

We have been trying to potty train Femi over break. He goes number one and number two when I take him, but if I don't take him he doesn't ask to go. So what is the trick to having him let me know that he needs to go? I guess it is just time. He does like sitting on the potty. In fact we have spent some good quality time on the potty. I started teaching him how to sign the ABCs so every time we go he wants me to show him how to sign. He is getting very good at signing A, B, C, E and O. He loves the movement of J. Another thing that we love to do while on the potty is check to see if the poop is coming yet. You have to be there to appreciate it. This morning the poop just kept coming and coming. I would ask him if he was done yet and he would say no and sure enough more poop would come out. I didn't understand how so much poop can come out of such a little body. Of course I took a picture, but I will keep it to myself. If you really want to see it, I can email it to you. :)

Deji has just grown so much over the last two weeks. He has really started saying words. His latest is saying hello. He is so cute when he says it. I really do need to get a flip camera so that I can easily record these moments.
