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.

Peter
I'm falling behind, but I'm not surprised. I had about 6-7 photoshoots this month which has kept me busier than I really want to be! I love doing it, but my house is really suffering!
Trying to think of things from the last month...
The other day I was changing Cora's diaper, getting her ready for her bath. Blake was anxious, as always, to help me out. When I took off her diaper, Blake looks down, looks up at me with a puzzled look on his face and says, "Mama, where'd her peter go?" Too funny! Not sure where he got "peter" from, because we never have called it anything.
Last night we were sitting in the recliner, with our legs up, reading a story before bed. I put the foot rest down, not realizing Blake's legs were tucked underneath. He didn't get hurt, but let me know right away that his legs were stuck. I apologized and gave him a big hug. He looks at me and says, "it's ok mama...it was an accident." :-)

Backhoe loader & blowing away
On the way into work/daycare this morning, I pointed out to Blake that there was a snow plow on the street. As we drove past it, Blake says, "That's not a snowplow, that's a backhoe loader.....Silly momma!" Then when we get to Mary's, I go to get him out of his car seat, and he says in all seriousness, "Mumma, you better carry me...so I don't blow away." I think he really thought he was going to blow away because he never wants to get carried in!
So...the day started out cute, but didn't end so cute. Darned Blake and little Miss Sadie were apparently full of defiance today at Mary's. When she told them to pick up toys they told her "no". The other kids ended up picking them up and those two went back over there and spilled them all again. When she told them to pick them up, they told her to "shut up". All of this, after Blake bit Sadie again, for about the 5th time in two weeks. NOT GOOD. He never acts this way at home...if he doesn't want to pick up toys, he might throw a little tantrum, but has NEVER talked that way to us. So, I don't know what's going on. He never hears "shut up" at our house, so I think he must have heard it there. Either way, we are not too happy with him tonight.

Rolling Over!
Cora has been sleeping on her belly and sleeping all night long since December 27th. She usually sleeps from 7-5 or 7-6. This morning, I heard her cooing in her crib, so I went in there to find her on her back! Can't believe she rolled over and just barely 3 months old! I think she was surprised too!
The weight loss is going good. Tom is down about 15 pounds and I'm down about 10. So far so good!!
Yesterday, Blake was drinking a smoothie through a straw. He has a tendency to bite the straw to the point that he can't get anymore liquid through it. He brought the cup to me and told me "somethings wrong with it." I looked at it and saw the severely bitten straw and said, "well what are we going to do about it Blake?" He looks at me with all seriousness and says, "that's a good question mama." :-)
