Found an egg under our grapevine. No one was sitting on it and it's been there a few days- so I got rid of it before Conner found it.
Conner went down the slide at the park last night and caught his foot which barrelled him around sideways then he did a faceplant. Resulting in scrapes aside his nose.
Toby was mentioning how much skinnier Conner looked the other day...so, I wanted to show you what happens to him in one day.
This is a picture of the morning- when he is thin.
The next blog will be an evening picture- when he is not thin.
His intestines have issues.
Hey there- it is Saturday and I decided to stay in my jammies today...that's what Saturdays are for- right? Josh is at work. I am working on my FHE project while the boys nap.
Indy was great! Harrison Ford is still as Handsome as ever. The movie was funny and energetic. Wyatt was awake but didn't peep the whole time...that doesn't mean his intestines were quiet though. I had to change his diaper right in the middle of the flick.
I just gave Conner a really warm bath which wiped him out for a good nap. Hopefully.
Wyatt is holding his head upright really well.
We think he has Josh's ears- they stick out a little just like Josh's did when he was a kid.
Check out the yummy salad I am eating for lunch. MMMM. Spinach, broccoli slaw, black bean, red bell pepper, corn, pepitas, sprouts, and yummy sundried tomato vinaigrette. Tasty. I usually add a protein of some sort...but today I ate a half of a chicken enchilada (with tomatillos and chiles- no cheese or milk products). I am striving hard to feel good in Hawaii!
I was trying to cook dinner tonight and Wyatt wouldn't let me put him down. When I did, he would scream- forever- I could only handle it for so long. So I took him out to the car to get the frontpack thingy. I came back in and set him in the crook of the couch so I could put the thing on and he whined a little then fell asleep.
Conner is looking better don't you think?
When it started to pour outside Conner said he wanted to go out. So, I opened the door for him and he immediately said, "No" It was dumping!!
It is sprinkling right now and there is some light thunder. This NEVER happens...ok- rarely happens!
I went for a walk today, for the first time since Wyatt was born. I think it's pretty good cuz I didn't start walking (then running) until 7 months after Conner was born. It didn't feel too bad but dang that double stroller is hard to push uphill!!
This picture is from yesterday after Wyatt's bath. He gets curly hair when it's wet. Look how they're in the same position. Hee Hee.
We went to the beach club for the first time this year on thursday May 15th. It was really nice out and not too busy. Conner was a little wary of the water and so he cruised around in the shallows and played in the sand. We had great fun with our friends.
Look at my poor little dude! He was running in circles in the living room while wearing his Crocs...which always make him trip. Which he did, right into the couch. His teeth cut into the back of his lower lip pretty good but not all the way through. Luckily the camera was right by us when I took him into the kitchen to take a look. I remembered how I would tell Raechal about stuff that would happen to Conner and she would ask if I took a picture. So... I took a picture. Then I called Jess to make sure he didn't need stitches (since she's the expert on injuries). She suggested ice or a Popsicle. You can see which option won out below.
A much happier little man.
I know this is not the best picture of Wyatt, but I thought it was hilarious how he wrinkled his forehead up to look up at me. He looks like an old man.
Conner loves to jump to us when we are in the pool. He says "Up High" so that we will put him up on the edge and then he jumps to us. We got him the swimsuit with the floaties in it and this helps ease everyones minds.
Look at little Wyatt. He seems so tiny to me still. Look how babies can curl their legs up- he still does this a lot.
Look at his cute little itty bitty sausage toes!
His little pouty smile. Poor guy has seborrhoeic dermatitis just like Conner did. It seems to be getting better though.
Conner has never had a cookie- until this day! I got some Joe Joes from Trader Joe's- they don't have anything that he is allergic to. He pulled the cookie apart and ate the frosting first! How'd he know to do that????!!! The next picture is his reaction to eating the frosting.
Conner got a hold of a pen while I was breasfeeding Wyatt. He was doing fine for a while- just coloring on a piece of paper he found. Then he had the pen down at his side and it accidentally marked him- so he said, "Uh-Oh" and started to scribble on himself.
I tried the life jacket but Conner could hardly move in it. He was like a kid in a super tight snow suit that can't move their arms or their head...so I took it off him and guess what happens.
He nearly drowns.
I was feeding Wyatt by the side of the pool and was watching Conner from afar as he played in the spa with his friends. Suddenly, I noticed him under the water with his arms straight up and he was kicking to get up. I yelled something and my sweet friend grabbed him quickly and held him tight- thank heaven she was there! He came over to me and held on to my legs, crying Mama.
I tried to downplay it for his benefit but inside I was super sad and emotional.
I put Wyatt down and got in the pool with him and he shook it off in no time...he was non-stop jumping to me from the side of the pool and having a blast. I didn't think about it much while still in the pool, but when I got home and Conner went down for a nap and Wyatt was sleeping- it was so quiet and I suddenly began to see the incident over and over in my head. I started to cry and had to call Josh. He made me feel so much better- but gosh, not being able to know that your babies are going to be safe all the time for the rest of their lives is really hard on a parent (sorry Mom, for the h@!% I put you through). I know my future with two boys will be far from uneventful but I think that if I were to worry about everything, I would never leave the house.
Boy do I love my 3 boys.
Josh let me sleep in this morning. He woke up with Conner and let me stay in bed until 9:30!! Oh the joy of extra sleep!!!! By the time I went downstairs and fed Wyatt again, it was too late to go anywhere without cutting into Conner's nap time. So, I made him lunch and he went down for a nap. I fed Wyatt, again, and then just laid there on the couch with him on my belly and zoned out on TV.
When Conner got up, I fed Wyatt, again, and then we went over to Gram and Gramps to swim in the pool. He has gotten over his fear pretty much...he doesn't like to wade around without you near, but he LOVES to jump from the edge of the pool into your arms!! So cute. I need to get him one of those buoyancy suits like Owen's- or I have a life jacket he could wear. Yeah, that's what I will try. He wants to go down the water slide really bad. He crawls up the stairs and then we have to pull him down crying. He went down a few times last year in one of those blow up crabs for babies. Maybe I'll try that again.
Conner and Sydney had a great time playing together tonight. They get along so well- with just a few tiffs here and there. I love to watch their dynamics.
Poor Josh isn't feeling good today. I think I will try to get up with Conner and Wyatt myself tomorrow morning so that HE can sleep in.
Conner will only eat corn if it is on the cob. Notice the green beans left untouched on his plate as well.
As you can see, Conner's shiner is on it's way to getting better. One of his cousins pushed him off a chair and we think he hit his eye on the computer.
Conner is holding Josh's old cabbage patch doll. 
Conner loves to lay down next to his brother every chance he can get.
