Tonight, as I snuggled you to bed, when you were all warm and cuddly, and smelled so clean after your bath...<br />
<br />
Mindful that before I'm ready you'll be too big to fit in my arms, I called you my sweet baby and my angel.<br />
<br />
You sleepily insisted, "Day Day".<br />
<br />
(Too bad, buster, you are STILL my sweet baby and my angel!)Momma Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14561583101071470102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785132314033297075.post-42973435969089273752015-09-14T19:21:00.001-05:002015-09-14T19:21:35.962-05:00Good night, Lily!Dearest Lily,<br />
I don't know how old you will be when you read this blog, but in case you needed a little bedtime advice....<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are ever having trouble getting yourself to bed, just pretend you are a puppy! When you are a little girl, you can sometimes have an attitude, but puppy Lily does whatever she's told immediately, provided you talk to her as if she is a puppy!<br />
<br />
Tonight, from start to finish, puppy Lily and mommy accomplished in 5 minutes that which can take 3.5 hours on other nights!<br />
<br />
Good puppy!!!<br />

<br />
All 3 of you have now had a time when you faked inoperable legs.<br />
<br />
I'm not talking about your typical toddler boneless legs when they don't want to do something... I'm talking about standing in one spot, fake crying, insisting that you can't walk (but running when someone mentions candy!)<br />
<br />
Your dad and I have NO IDEA what it's about but all of you, independently, without knowing the other did it, faked that your legs didn't work.<br />
<br />
You dad and I just laughed last night when JJ did it. We couldn't believe all three of you came up with this!!!<br />
<br />
We love you all!Momma Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14561583101071470102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785132314033297075.post-34324151823308691712015-08-04T21:51:00.001-05:002015-08-04T21:51:20.091-05:00All Threes with the Ones and Twos!!!Two weeks ago tomorrow, we potty trained JJ. <br />
<br />
I used the same 3-Day method as with Lily, and he had it down within about 2 days!<br />
<br />
Just like Lily, he's not going to be perfect for a while, but he's doing a great job!<br />
<br />
We've had some major, major issues with part of it (I won't go into the gross details) but as of today I feel safe saying we're on track!<br />
<br />
Go JJ!!!Momma Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14561583101071470102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785132314033297075.post-89856989783446671092015-06-23T20:06:00.001-05:002015-06-23T20:06:35.453-05:00Littly Lily<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">"I babysat again today, and the beautiful looking four your old girl, big blue eyes, long eyelashes, pink poofy lips and yelllow blonde hair made me a "card" with some squiggles on it. She read it to me -- "I love you so much. I love you so much I will even love you when you are too too old and dead." </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">She's talks about pretty morbid things </span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">frequently as if they are no big deal... which at her age and understanding, they're not!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">More cute things (Other than nearly everything that comes out of her mouth):</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">-Spunting = Something</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">-Slushsdoitulkdnflks = Frustrating. How she says it isn't even intelligible and you have to figure it out using context but it's darn stinkin' cute!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">She still talks about her "honey" (invisible friend) all the time. Sadly, "Honey's" parents are apparently deceased. More Lily morbidness! She has several moribd explanations for how that came about!</span></span><br />

<br />
She is a perfect mish mash of baby, girl and even sometimes adult. She gives these crazy teenagery looks already that we know we will see much more of in a couple of years. She somehow already knows how to use those big eyes to her advantage!<br />
<br />
She is working really hard to say all things correctly but luckly still keeps some sweet mispronunications:<br />
"I wanna be a superhurro"<br />
"zay zay" is JJ<br />
"Baby broller" (With his size, he IS a broller)<br />
"Pucess" is princess<br />
"I need a boo boo bayndaid"<br />
"ashally" is actually<br />
"OH MY WORD!"<br />
"Go downtairs"<br />
"Dolly" - Just cute that she says it<br />
"But I Mont to!"<br />
"HEY! I have andea!"<br />
Everything is "The Ness Day" whether is is tomorrow, yesterday or a month ago.<br />
<br />
She still brings up the burned house, but not very often. Maybe twice a month.<br />
She is now; however, morbidly obsessed with death at times. In her playing pretend something is often dying.... or planning on dying..... or died "the ness day". <br />
Yesterday (the ness day) she heard a random sound outside and told me the sound told her that two cars crashed and died. (The sound was a dog barking or something completely normal)<br />
<br />
She is nearly a swimmer and made it down the twisty slides at the pool. With enough yelling and encouragement, she could swim from the bottom of the slide to the steps. Without enough yelling and encouragement, she sinks.<br />
<br />
Speaking of yelling: she must inform us EVERY TIME that "I GOTTA GO POTTTTYYYYYYY!" Anna hears it so much she automatically rolls her eyes and yells back "JUST GOOOOO!!!" Lily runs (sometimes in circles) doing a high kneed, tipppy toe prance dance in desperation, sometimes in circles, and usually never on the way to the bathroom. I literally have to get in her face and make her focus to make productive steps to the bathroom. Sometimes I have to grab her arm and lead her there. Occasionally she still has accidents. I'm trying a new thing today where I will use a really low voice and calmly say, "I'm not going to help you... walk towards the bathroom.... what's the next step?...that's right... turn on the light, etc." It worked today. We'll see. It's liek the sudden realization she has to go "weely weely bad" short circuits her brain from simply Using. The. Bathroom!<br />
<br />
She's a lady on the go!<br />

<br />
I fear that this may be our last year for true belief in Santa, if we even get this year. I think plenty of pesky first graders with older siblings may gleefully shatter the Christmas spirit.<br />
For example, we saw Seasame Street Live in Columbia and on the way there, she asked me if they were real..."really real?" I just couldn't state the truth so I told her that I thought so. I told her I <i>thought</i> it was the same people that were on tv.<br />
<br />
She thougth about it and her voice chagned from doubt to a happy, "They MUST be real, how else could they see everything?" I had to smile at that.<br />
<br />
She was able to high five one of the characters. I asked her, "Did they feel real?" She said, "Well, I think I felt a hand in there." I told her it might have just been bones.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, she didn't say what she thought either way. I thought it best to leave it well enough alone. And perhaps, just maybe, hold onto faires, mermaids and unicorns a little....bit...longer. :-)<br />

<br />
She asked about this house a minimum of once per day<br />
"Where'd buwrned house go?"<br />
<br />
I'll remind her that it's by the bookstore. Then she asks to see it. "Buwrned house sad." I explain that someone will fix it up, then it will be happy.<br />
<br />
Add to this the fact that we saw a car on fire (really, an inferno) on the way to Columbia to see Seasame Street Live. Can you guess what ELSE she asks about all the time? <br />
She thinks the burned car is sad, too, even though I told her someone fixed it. Now she asks, "Where'd fissed car go?" <br />
<br />
"When fiwe comes, wun to Mya's houwse" is what I hear many other days. That's her fire plan. Today on the way home from school, she told me about how fire likes food. (?)<br />
<br />
<br />
She told me yesterday that fire came out of the smoke detector and I had to let her know what the smoke detector actually did. She looked very relieved.<br />
<br />

What he can do:<br />
Wave bye and hello (most of the time) Instead of a wave, it's more of a hand raise/salute.<br />
He will blow kisses (most of the time).<br />
Sign "more" (by clapping) and "all done" (by raising both his hands up high)..... most of the time.<br />
Bark like a dog- when he sees a dog...smart boy.<br />
<br />
He loves to pretend to sneeze and cough and will repeatedly do that if he hears someone else do it.<br />
<br />
He can say "Ah oh!" and I guess you'd consider that his FIRST WORD!!!<br />
<br />
He can crawl like a champ, now, although sometimes he does it full out and sometimes he does it dragging a leg curled up.<br />
He can climb up on a low chair, stool or single step.<br />
<br />
He can pull up on anything now and is the master of his domain now that he can crawl anywhere and pull up everywhere.<br />
<br />
He's an eating champ now and is a master of the pincher grasp. He'll let you know if he doesn't like some food or is is all done by swiping all the food on the floor. He can eat from those organic baby pouches on his own which is convenient for mommy! He will eat or at least try whatever you give him but his favorite food is bananas and baby junk food.<br />

What he can do:<br />
Crawl (fastish) especially when being chased. Being chase, tickled or nibbled are the things that make him cackle the most. He can even crawl through tunnels although this took some convincing.<br />
<br />
He can pull up on anything he can reach now and is very proud of this skill. With crawling and pulling up he has become more interested in opening drawers and emptying cabinets (oh boy!).<br />
<br />
Other things:<br />
Clap<br />
Growl (so cute)<br />
<br />
Anna is still his favorite person although he adores both his sisters. Lily has gotten sooo good are "baby" talking to him and playing with him. Their relationship is definitely developing. <br />
<br />
His sleep still somewhat iffy. He only wake 1-2 times/night (or sometimes less). Naps are still not his favorite thing but he has mostly resigned himself to them. <br />

<br />
He can crawl !!!! He began crawling at my friend Amanda's house on Valentine's Day. I call her the "Baby Whisperer" and she now definitely lives up to that title.<br />
<br />
He can nap! (Fingers crossed) I say this because essentially his entire eighth month was a sleeping disaster. No naps, fifteen minute naps, or crying for 45 minutes only to pass out for 20 minute naps. Suddenly, he can nap like a champ and go down by himself either happily or with a minimum of fussing. <br />
Also, the night of his month day, March 3rd, he slept from 8 o'clock to 5am without waking!!!! (I'm not holding my breath that i get to enjoy that permanently, yet.<br />
<br />
He will pull himself up on things but isn't great at staying up there, yet! (I nearly got a picture of the first time I saw him pull up in his own but by the time I ran to get my phone he had crashed down and was unhappy!<br />
<br />
He is very interested in his kitties and acts mighty proud of his petting skills! He'll pet nicely for a bit then end it with a nice, hard whack on the kitties head. They don't mind too much!<br />
<br />
He is the champion of blowing raspberries and likes to do it either in the air or on someone's skin.<br />
<br />
Still waves "Hi" and "Bye" but not consistently yet.<br />
<br />
He has suddenly started eating, but we still only get about 1 good episode of eating "real" food per day.<br />

He plays a cute little repeating game where he wants you to smack the table or your lap, make the "tough guy" face, then shake his head. He sometimes varies the order, but he LOVES when you play this with him!<br />
<br />
He is so, so, so close to crawling. He will go from sitting to crawling positing. He will do the typical rock back and forth and sometimes he can even thrust himself forward a little bit. He's really ready, he just needs to figure it out!<br />
<br />
His favorite sounds are "Da" and "Ta" and he likes to say them over and over. Curt loves it when he says something that sounds like "Hi Dada". <br />
<br />
What he can't do:<br />
-Sleep in his crib<br />
-Roll over<br />
<br />
So he had been a pretty good sleeper but slept full time in his rocker. So when it was time to move him (he was too mobile for the rocker) the transition was not.....smooth. This led to a good month of torturous days for mommy who had to continuously listen to crying and second guess herself.<br />
<br />
We understood some of his difficulty with the help of our parents as teachers lady. She asked us about his rolling over and I dismissed it stating that he just skipped that part of babyhood. She pointed out that this was unusual. He was so good at sitting up so early that we stopped putting him on his back. It didnt dawn on us that when it was time to start sleeping in his crib he'd lay there stuck like an upside down turtle!<br />
<br />
Once we figured this out, we worked hard on rolling over and his sleep finally improved (with some rough patches along the way of course-he is a baby after all!)<br />
<br />
Check out this baby:<br />

Sit up on his own. He can also spin around 360 degrees to see what toys spark his interest. He is working really, really hard on crawling and he practices it all the time but he only ends up flopping on his belly and gets really frustrated.<br />
<br />
His favorite toys went from cloth to anything he can BANG! he will raise his little fists in the air and slam them down, either onto something or just onto his chubby little legs. He will also snatch anything within reach, including his socks.<br />
<br />
He constantly makes a "tough guy" intense face where he sticks out his lower jaw and tenses up his whole body. He only does this for fun. When he wants to throw a fit, he'll tense up his whole little body, thrust out his lower jaw, and fuss. My other favorite thing he does when he is fussing is to kick his legs quickly, "thump, thump, thump, thump". <br />
<br />
He poops in the bathtub - at least 70% of the time. Poor Lily (the only kid who fits in the tub with him) is always on the lookout for poop and knows I will snatch her out fast as lightening!<br />
<br />
He will pull himself up on things if you give him the chance.<br />
<br />
He isn't much of an eater. So far (as of 1/6/14) he has eaten Uncle Joshie's Beet Soup (Borscht) and peas. He's also eaten some of Curt's roasted butternut squash as well as some organic baby peas, rice and oatmeal. He is just now tolerating a spoon shoved in his mouth and he aren't pushing him too quickly!<br />
<br />
He talks and talks and talks and is quite a little babbler. He likes to blow raspberries and giggle as well. <br />

As you can see, Lily wanted to get in on the action. I call this photo montage, "The Many Faces of Lily". </div>
<br />
What he can do:<br />
He can sit up on his own now nearly 100% of the time.<br />
<br />
He has 2 and 7/8 teeth.<br />
He weighs: 20lbs 9 oz<br />
Height: 27 inches.<br />
<br />
He hasn't tried food just yet. His sisters were so interested in food by 6 months that we felt guilty eating in front of them. He couldn't care less except for the desire to snatch your spoon to play with. We plan to wait a few weeks for food to let his first food be Uncle Josh's gourmet food.<br />
<br />
He still doesn't put stuff in his mouth (for which I am extremely grateful)!<br />
<br />
He wakes up happy in the morning and from naps. He still doesn't have a consistent nap or bed time but seems to be working on it. (Big sister Anna needed until 7 months for this and he seems to take after her. Lily mastered it at closer to 4 months thanks to her magical thumb!)<br />
<br />
He is becoming quite the talker and his favorite things to do are to blow rasperries and shriek. He will open his mouth halfway and let out a soft, high shriek like a baby dinosaur. He'll do that for minutes at time. He loves that sound.<br />
<br />
He still loves to be tickled, especially on his neck, big belly and big ole thighs!Momma Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14561583101071470102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785132314033297075.post-78693682295028153882013-12-03T20:51:00.000-06:002014-01-10T21:32:29.275-06:00Happy FIFTH Monthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What he can do:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
JJ can poop more powerfully than a volcano. It's the very rare poop that stays in his diaper. I feel like all I do sometimes is scrub poop out of clothes. And unlike most nursed babies, his poop <i>stinks</i>!!! (TMI, I know)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He has two bottom teeth. He was in his cradle in the kitchen talking to daddy and I looked down and exclaimed, "He's got two teeth!" Daddy said, "No he doesn't!" Sure enough, we looked and saw two little white toofers. They came in with nary a fuss from him and only in hindsight did we remember the extra drool!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He is able to grab things if you hold them out to him. He is interested in anything you want to give him.</div>
<br />
<br />
He is able to sit up (with considerable assistance) and seems to like the view that way. He can't do it on his own and will plop backwards pretty quickly if you tried!<br />
<br />
He will SLEEP WHILE TRAVELING (a minor Stokes child miracle). His favorite place to sleep is in his rocking cradle and he will sleep there fairly well no matter where we go!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Thanks to Mimi's help and decorative eye, his room is all ready. Unfortunately, he isn't! Pretty much the only place he likes to sleep is in the aforementioned rocking cradle. So he still sleeps in mommy and daddy's room and he hasn't figured out his naps yet. Occasionally he'll sleep for an hour or two but he's still stuck on mostly shorter naps throughout the day. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
His favorite things: Anna, Lily, crinkly things, and water bottles. He is fascinated by moving water and loves to grab and smash anything crinkly, like plastic bags. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Did you notice those thighs in the pictures above? Delicious!</div>

So Anna wanted a slumber party for her 6th birthday. It was a great idea... in theory. In reality, I had a 4 month old (which I must have forgotten) and a two year old who had no interest in settling down when it was time to! I finally had to be "mean mommy" at ten o'clock and stand in the door way glaring. Luckily, it worked!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily. she ended up with the most amazingly amazing cake ever thanks to her wonderful Mimi!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
