Happy Easter!!!

Spring has sprung!!

Fox, Medicine

So...we're sitting at the dinner table tonight chatting with Blake. He likes to assign animals to us...."Daddy...you're a cheetah!....I'm an elephant....Mama, you're a ....." "Fox?" I finish for him. He says, "No mama, you're a dog!" Nice.....

Blake had a bit of a cold over the weekend and rather enjoys taking his medicine. I gave him a spoonful of motrin, he barely has it swallowed and says, "Thanks mama, I feel better now."

Farts & Baby Sister

Last Friday, March 12th, Mom, Jody, Blake, Cora and I went out for fish. Mom and Jody were taking Cora home with them, and Blake and I were going to Tom's basketball game (district finals). So, we took Cora out of my car in her car seat, then took the base out to move it to mom's car. Blake asked where his baby sister was going, and I explained to him that she was going to Grandma's house so he and I could go to Daddy's basketball game. He bawled and bawled....tears flowing like crazy..."I want my baby sister....she's my baby sister..." he was SO upset, he literally cried HARD for about 15 minutes. We would be driving and he would start to settle down, then he'd look to his left where she usually sits and would just bust out crying again, realizing she wasn't there. So sweet....I guess they really haven't been separated before, so I guess we will know what to expect next time!!

Yesterday morning I was getting Blake dressed and I let out a "little" fart, I said "excuse me." Blake says, "momma, you need to cover your mouth!" Then he paused and thought for a minute, and said, "Ackshilly (actually).....you need to cover your bum!" he says, putting his hand on his butt!! What do you even say to that!?!? LOL!!

He has discovered his penis...he is definitely all boy...when he doesn't have his diaper on, whether we are changing his diaper or giving him a bath, his hand is on it ALL the time, it's ridiculous. Definitely a boy thing.

Cora rolled over for the first time from back to belly on Sunday, March 14th, at 4 months old. Can't believe she will be 5 months old tomorrow. :-( She needs to stay little!!

Tom had his vasectomy on February 19th....everything went well. No more babies for us. :-) Good thing we got two good ones!! Love them to pieces! :-)

Trip to the Dentist

Blake had his first visit to the dentist today. It was basically just a chance to get him used to the dentist. Dr. Gorringe...or "Dr. Orange" as Blake calls him, simply looked in at his teeth with his little mirror to see how things look. Fortunately..no cavities and everything looked good. Blake screamed and cried the whole time...Dr. Gorringe didn't really warm up to him as well as he could have before sticking his hand in his mouth. But the Diego toothbrush and camera that he picked out of the treasure chest, seemed to make it all worthwhile in the end. The real test will be in September when he goes for his first cleaning!

Cora has been eating baby food for a few weeks now. She has the appetite of her brother, that's for sure.
