I'm starting to regret the hiatus, as this was such a great way for me to keep up with the boys' milestones. But life got crazy, and blogging kept getting pushed further and further back on the shelf. I'm back and ready to dust things off!<br />

<div>
A lot has happened in the last year and a half! </div>

For starters:</div>

We added another little man to our crew! Porter Jackson was born September 10, 2013, weighing 7lb.14oz and measuring 19.5 inches. He is another sweet blessing! Porter is now 8 months old and keeps me on my toes! He's been on the move since about 6 months, and he is fast! He doesn't like to sit still, will pull up on just about anything. He watches, no, studies his brothers' every move, and I'm sure will be running after them in no time. Hold me! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Speaking of, Hampton and Colton love being big brothers! They adore their baby, sometimes a bit too much! They are constantly wanting to hug, kiss, tackle, and pounce on him. It's a mad house, what can I say?! They've both grown so much and surprise me all the time with how much they learn on a daily basis. Colton is Hampton's little shadow. This can be cute but also terrible. Hampton is testing his limits everyday, which means Colton is right there in the mix. When they're not testing my sanity 😉, they really are great playmates. They make each other laugh like no one else!</div>

We also moved to a new house late last summer. We were running out of room and found a great house in a nice neighborhood to let the boys grow in for a while. It's been a nice change! Of course, with more room comes more cleaning and more floor space for the ridiculous amount of toys we own to cover! I guess we'll take the bad with the good!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Work has steadily increased for me, and my work at home mom status is quickly taking up more time than I ever thought it would. It's not all bad, just different then I'd imagined. But, then again, that seems to be a theme around here!<br />
<br />
That about catches us up...in the quickest way possible! </div>

Colton got to have his first haircut in the midst of the birthday boy's
celebration! Though the back of his head wasn't all that bad, his
"wings" were out of control! I could no longer tame his hair by tucking it behind his ears, so off to get a haircut we went! </div>

He was so good. He didn't show any emotion what so ever, actually. I think he was just so nervous about what was happening that he just kind of froze. <br />

Are you as shocked as me? How do I have a 3-year-old?! His birthday
was on Sunday, so, obviously, we spent the whole weekend celebrating!
The party started on Thursday when he celebrated at school with
cupcakes. I popped in for the "party" and it was another little boy's
birthday as well, so they had cupcakes and cookies! Oy! Saturday, we had
breakfast at "Cracka Barrell." Then, (after a quick haircut) we went to
a local dairy farm where they have lots of fun activities for kids:<br />
a bouncy pillow thing, a corn box, live animals, a corn maize and more!<br />

After grabbing some lunch at "Chick a way," we brought the boys home for a nap. A little play time at home, dinner at Mellow Mushroom, and ice cream at the park, and we were worn out!<br />

We decided not to have a big party for Hampton again this year. We figure there are plenty of parties to come, so keeping it small now is the way we want to go. We met Mimi, G-dad, Nonna, Papa, Uncle Taylor and Aunt Dakota up at the park on Sunday afternoon for some cupcakes and play time. By Sunday evening, we were all pretty exhausted (and needed to eat something healthy, asap!).<br />

We'll finish off the celebrating tomorrow with a few buddies and some Dunkin Donuts munchkins at the park. Here's to year 3! (Please, Lord, let him go easy on me!)<br />

P.S. Pardon the crazy formatting. Blogger is on my last nerve tonight! <br />

I just wanted to get a few things down somewhere other than my facebook page because 1. I'm pretty sure some of my friends are tired of my constant quotes from my kid. and 2. Facebook is finicky. Who knows what change they'll make tomorrow and all of my stuff will be gone! So, if you stalk me on facebook, you've already seen these. If not, enjoy!<br />

In early spring, I ordered the cutest little sailboat jonjon, and I had the idea in my head that a sailboat party would be adorable. Thanks to pinterest, I had so many great ideas! Well, summer, and C's actual birthday, snuck up on me. A few weeks out, I had done nothing. Nothing. I called up a friend and told her that I needed some invitations and fast! She came up with such a cute invite:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhECFJSiR91ttGQGhQz-qPvYpY5skQLXsZoGW1Q3KI6E3hPjMK5R99Q4uq7iS57wN3JucYSYkrNFOekemerRMf5U_kIfnhrl2R_qlJncntRoxE47ViDij5uv-FJALTUQM-lBff26wb9B0/s1600/Invitation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhECFJSiR91ttGQGhQz-qPvYpY5skQLXsZoGW1Q3KI6E3hPjMK5R99Q4uq7iS57wN3JucYSYkrNFOekemerRMf5U_kIfnhrl2R_qlJncntRoxE47ViDij5uv-FJALTUQM-lBff26wb9B0/s320/Invitation.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>
Once the invites were out, I calmed down a little bit. It's not like I needed to do much. I'd make a quick trip to the store, pick up a couple of sailboats and nautical items, and that's that. We would just do a few finger foods and be done. One problem: there were no sailboats to be found. There was nothing nautical in any store that I went in. It was a week before the party, and I could find absolutely nothing to decorate with. I couldn't change the theme...the invites had already gone out!<br />
<br />

The weekend of the party, Jordan and I went to get some plastic serving platters, food, and continue looking for decor. We decided that just sticking with red, white, and blue might be our only option. I was upset that this wonderful party I had in my head just wasn't happening, but then, I thought, "who really cares?!" When I finally let go, I remembered that I had seen a few things in Bed, Bath & Beyond and The Christmas Tree Shop earlier in the summer. Woohoo--on the morning of the party, I went to both places and found a few things that would tie this party together!<br />

Summer has been crazy busy, but I'm back and ready to <strike>over </strike>share my world with you once again!<br />
<br />
Last Friday, we celebrated our sweet Hampton! No, it wasn't his birthday. It was the day we finally got to say he was "ours"!! We made our FINAL payment on the loan we took out for IVF in January of 2008!!! Okay, so the bank probably wouldn't have taken the kid from us had we not paid, but I did threaten to leave him with our banker a few times. ;-)<br />
<br />
So, we obviously have been looking forward to this day, and what better way to celebrate than cupcakes?! The boys had no clue what was going on but were super excited about the dessert. Jordan and I on the other hand did several happy dances in the middle of the kitchen. Sorry-I didn't capture that on video. <br />

We're so thrilled to have that off the table. Now, we can focus on the debt we incurred while Jordan was unemployed. One step closer to being debt free!!!<br />

I can't even describe how crazy this is to me. I swear this was the fastest year of my life. We never slowed down. Even when we had "nothing" going on, there were 2 children to care for, and the days just flew. I'm in awe of these little guys. Shocked that I'm the mother of not one but TWO toddlers. And desperately clinging to the last little bit of "baby" that is left in this little guy.<br />
<br />
1 year:<br />
-He doesn't just walk, he runs!<br />
-8 teeth<br />
-Several words: mama, dada, uh oh, hey, bye bye, no, ball (bah).<br />
-Sleeping has gotten to be okay. He usually sleeps through night 7:30/8ish-7ish. Naps are still hit or miss. He'll take one good one, usually. I just don't know what time it will come. I can't complain.<br />
-He is still nursing, but only once or twice a day. I think it's more of a comfort thing at this point.<br />
-My "big boy" has turned into a little runt! His stats at his 12 month appointment: 20lb, 7oz. and 29.5in. That is 1/2 pound LESS than he was at 9 months!! We've been instructed to start giving him Pediasure (and so far, he loves banana and strawberry flavor!) and come back for a weight check in a month. Never did I ever think I would be doing something to bulk this kid up!<br />
-"Mama's boy" doesn't even begin to describe him :)<br />
-He loves his daddy too. Jordan gets the best welcome home everyday--Colton runs to him with arms held out yelling "dadadadadada." So.stinking.sweet.<br />
-He is our little biter. If he gets angry with Hampton, he growls and bites. He'll bite anyone else who crosses his path as well. I'm trying to figure out what to do about that!<br />
-We call him our little drama queen. He can throw one heck of a fit. One heck of a fit!<br />
-He loves the water and pool just like the rest of us. Sometimes he does get frustrated that we just stick him in his police car float, though. But he lets us know about how he feels (see previous point)!<br />
-He adores his big brother.<br />

I officially have 2 little boys ruling my life. Colton charged in to month 11 and didn't turn back! He wants to do everything like his big brother, and it will surely cause me to have gray hair before I reach the age of 30! He loves, loves, loves, water--bathtub, pool, ocean, toilet, sink---you name it! He is in to everything. If he can't reach something he wants, he will figure out how to get it. And he's surprisingly strong! He's 150% a momma's boy. I would be lying if I said I didn't love that!! But there are days when I just give him a kiss and tell him he has to love on someone other than me. At least while I pee. ;)<br />
<br />
Teeth: 1 more tooth, total of 7<br />
Walking: the week before he turned 11 months, he was really acting like he preferred to walk rather than crawl<br />
Eating: Anything you give him. Pretty much over purees.<br />
Sleep: Not any worse! He sleeps through the night *most* nights. (knock on wood) Naps are up in the air, but he'll usually take a pretty decent afternoon nap.<br />
Talking: He has a lot to say, but not a lot of it is clear to me. I can't really think of a definite list of new words this month, but he always greets Jordan with a "dadadadada" when he comes in the door. I usually get a whiny "mamaaaa" when he is upset about something. <br />

I would go in to cut it, and then I would get a trim. Long hair was easy. If I didn't want to fix it, I didn't! Into a ponytail or bun it went. Easy peasy. But I got in a rut and knew I had to make a change...it is taking a little getting used to, but I like it!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTTxkycwHF6Oi1eEkqRezgxlkQBEmuULZ8DBvoUGaPKYoE4CgHC0JAlM1XNodN1r3OAi0x6tpEHPg6PcxAK3lGTv4eku7QEYgWVw4EeUG-05c6HiDV0KkhBt5hOwW10mzb3BJnGekBBT4/s640/blogger-image--1432689282.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTTxkycwHF6Oi1eEkqRezgxlkQBEmuULZ8DBvoUGaPKYoE4CgHC0JAlM1XNodN1r3OAi0x6tpEHPg6PcxAK3lGTv4eku7QEYgWVw4EeUG-05c6HiDV0KkhBt5hOwW10mzb3BJnGekBBT4/s640/blogger-image--1432689282.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSv-ezQ7Ltjvck6boxfO1R3XyZq0myyt80OnEWVOEd0ANUsQyx9_myvniuTXQ7sCIuEls-M1VYdMlrzAI0ki94AKIrrL3LFvJdDUhqIajkW42WkS5s23023GN329bsZoNRvCLJ3qrcdD4/s640/blogger-image-1750651924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSv-ezQ7Ltjvck6boxfO1R3XyZq0myyt80OnEWVOEd0ANUsQyx9_myvniuTXQ7sCIuEls-M1VYdMlrzAI0ki94AKIrrL3LFvJdDUhqIajkW42WkS5s23023GN329bsZoNRvCLJ3qrcdD4/s640/blogger-image-1750651924.jpg" /></a></div>Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17332037895252478266noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998104752856439266.post-79748303075080043412012-05-22T14:38:00.000-04:002012-06-06T09:10:28.996-04:00Kind of Potty TrainingWho is this kid??

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/540574_738684069735_69404209_33584638_32965116_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/540574_738684069735_69404209_33584638_32965116_n.jpg" width="133" /></a></div>Sigh. The monkey is growing up. That comes with many fun things...and a few not so fun things. Enter potty training here. I'll be the first to admit that I'm in no rush to potty train him. Why? Because it's just easier for ME to not have to worry about it! It's completely selfish, and I obviously know he has to get out of diapers at some point! <br />
A couple of months ago, we tried to do it cold turkey--spent a couple of days around the house, armed with plenty of M&Ms, and let him run around naked. He did really well, and was so excited. And then Monday came. And he was petrified to even walk by his little potty. M&Ms made him shriek in terror, "I no have to tee tee!" It was awful. So we put the potty away and would try again later. <br />
A few weeks later, he started telling me when he needed to use the potty. It was only once every few days, but it was something! He has slowly started wanting to use the potty more and more. That's great! But the thought of big boy underwear excites him so much but terrifies him even more. It's an obstacle we'll have to tackle soon. In the mean time, we're letting him guide us. Sure, it will be nice to have only 1 in diapers, but I'm not going to rush him. He will not be wearing diapers his whole life; that is a fact! So, there you have it, we're kind of potty training!<br />

Time to start planning a birthday party!! Oh how that makes me so happy but so sad, too. I'm not sure if I'm more excited or more nervous about this little guy growing up so fast. It's fun, though. No doubt!<br />
<br />
This month, Colton has really taken off. He's such a little copy cat. He waves, smiles, tilts his head, and does about anything that you do to him. It's adorable!<br />
-Talking: no new words, but he does now make the distinction b/w dada and mama. He doesn't talk too much. Still more of just babbling. I catch him waving to himself and saying bye bye in the car at times, and I can't help but smile.<br />
-Mobility: He took his first steps this month! He is practicing walking, but is still crawling to get where he needs to go. Unless there are items he can hold on to--then he cruises right along to where he wants to be.<br />
-Teeth: 6 teeth. Looks like a few more are trying to make their way through the gums. I guess he's going to teethe in "groups." Yay :-/<br />
-Sleep: Ugh. I don't even feel like discussing it. He was doing well. Then he got a cold (or allergies or something that has lingered on for 2+ weeks..!). This led to <i>another</i> ear infection. Then it went down hill from there. I'm tired!<br />
-Eating: He'll eat pretty much anything we offer. At his 9-month well visit, we were told we could start offering soft foods. I was really excited about this b/c he seems very interested in moving on from purees. Unfortunately, the first thing I offered him, he choked on. It happened only a few days after a local little boy passed away after choking, and it scared me & Jordan so badly. I've been very, VERY hesitant with introducing foods since then. He's tried bananas, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and bread, and has done okay with each of those. I've yet to give him a real "meal" that isn't mainly purees. I will. I'm just getting there slowly.<br />
-When you say "yay" he claps; "where's Colton?" he covers his eyes and plays peek a boo; "byebye" he waves. He also mimics blowing kisses, washing hands/putting lotion on, and will sign all done if he wants nothing else to eat. <br />
-He loves the pool, and we can't wait to see how he reacts to the beach next month!<br />
-He wants to be everywhere his big brother is. And if Hampton is on the ground, he crawls all over him and loves on him. Hampton (usually) returns that love. It is beyond sweet.<br />

He is really starting to become such a little boy. Sigh... how can that be? He's only 9 months old! But with the passing time, we get into more and more fun stages. He takes in everything his big brother does, and just laughs from deep down in the gut while bouncing up and down on his knees. (Then, he usually gets a huge tackling hug, and starts to cry. Such is life!) He is such a sweet kid, always smiling and giggling, and he gives the best hugs and kisses. He will fling his arms around my neck and just squeeze himself in to me and-awesome sound effects included-kiss away. Oh man, how I love those kisses!<br />
<br />
He's been up to a lot this past month: <br />
-He went from 0 to 5 teeth in a little over a week. (Meanwhile, we slept about none that week!)<br />
-Current words are bye bye, dada, and mama, but he's more likely to just babble and laugh than to actually say a word.<br />
-He loves to clap, though he has been clapping for a while. It is fun to watch him watch his hands as he claps!<br />
-Crawling is really just too boring for this guy. He prefers to cruise, and, if you're watching, you may catch him letting go for a second to reach for another object. Of course, if he sees something he wants and needs to get it quickly, crawling is the way to go!<br />
-Sleep is still hit or miss. If we have a great nap day, the night is usually rough. If the naps aren't so great, everyone usually gets a full night of sleep. And sometimes, there is just a perfect storm of sleep during the day and sleep during the night. Those are nice days!<br />
-He gets in to everything. Everything. We thought the house was baby-proofed for Hampton. It was not! <br />
-Weaning has gone no where quickly, as this little guy *needs* his
mommy. Jordan has started offering a bottle at night (that he doesn't
take) and rocking him to sleep (while he screams bloody murder for about
10-15 minutes). It's hard to hear, but he has to be able to go to sleep
without me sometimes.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stats:<br />
Height (29 inches), Weight (21 pounds), and Head circumference (no measurement given) were all in the 70-75%. Complete shocker that he is smaller than Hampton
was at 9 months!! <br />

Colton woke up close to midnight Monday morning, and I brought him to bed to feed him (where I naturally fell asleep). He stirred around 3:30, and I was feeling uncomfortable, so I took him to his room. I got back in bed, tossed and turned, and pleaded with my body not to get sick. Yeah, that doesn't work. A little after 4, the sickness began. I'll leave out the gory details and just say it wasn't pretty. Then I felt fine! Oh, wait, too soon. This pattern continued into the morning when I told Jordan,"I need you to call in this morning. It's probably almost out of my system, so maybe you can go in around noon." HA! Nothing stayed down all morning. Not even the smallest sip of ginger ale. It was awful. Jordan had taken the boys to get breakfast and play at the park (b/c he's awesome) and came home for lunch. By this time, I was having some intense pains in my lower back. Related to the sickness? I don't know. I had been having dull pains for about 2 weeks. Painful as all get out? Yes. We decided to head to the doctor, and we chose to go straight to the ER since we didn't want to pay two copays. Getting there seemed to take forever, waiting in line to check in was even longer, and then waiting to get my vitals/get registered had me on the verge of tears. When the girl called me back to check my vitals, I was greeted by a male nurse. He recognized my name (his wife cuts my mil's hair, and I know her as well, and I think he knows my sister) and was going to go ahead and take me back to a room. Praise the lord!! She did some sort of test where she took my blood pressure sitting down and then again standing up. I don't know the name, but the way I responded (heart rate went up, blood pressure went way down), it showed I was dehydrated. They started me on a bag of fluids, and went to get meds for the nausea. She brought in zofran, and I was happy with that since I've taken it during both pregnancies. Well, it burned while going in, and my entire arm turned red. Shortly after, welts started to form. I was completely surprised by this reaction, and the nurse gave me some Benedryl to help and told me to add that to my allergy list. (insert sad face here as I thought, "HOW will I make it through any future pregnancies?!?") The Benedryl made me tired almost instantly, and she added phenergan to the mix--I don't recall most of my afternoon!! At some point, Jordan's mom came and got the boys to take home for the night. A little further into the evening, after mentioning to Jordan that no one seemed the least bit concerned about the pain in my back, the doctor came in and said there was blood in my urine and he wanted an ultrasound of my kidneys. My kidneys looked good, my gallbladder looked good, but my bladder, along with being very full, had something in it that shouldn't be there. The doctor said it was a bladder stone or possibly a blood clot. They gave me some pain meds and said to get rechecked in a week. And, finally, around 9:45, when my third bag of fluids was empty, they discharged us. I was feeling pretty weak yesterday and only slightly uneasy today, so I appear to be on the mend. I do need to get an appointment with a urologist to figure out what the heck is going on in my bladder. This week started out rough.

And it will come quickly, just as these first 2/3 of year 1 have come! This little guy is full of energy. He goes. And goes. And just when I think he's going to drift off and take a nice nap, he pops his head back up and gives me a gummy grin, and is ready to go again! Quite frankly, he's exhausting. But I wouldn't have it any other way!! He is in to everything. I told Jordan the other day how we needed to baby proof the house asap. His response? Didn't we already do that?? NOPE. Hampton was not in to half of the things this little one can find. Just the other day I had to move our sofa b/c he got his head stuck as he was trying to squeeze between the sofa and love seat! Crazy boy! <br />
<br />
C is such a roly poly. His legs are extra squeezable. I have been SO happy with the warm weather because, among other fun, I get to see his sweet squishy legs all the time now! Love it!<br />
<br />
He still has not been weaned. I offer him a bottle and sippy cup often, and he will chew on it and maybe get a sip or two, but that is it. I'm at a loss. As far as eating, he eats whatever! He has been introduced to puffs and is a huge fan. I gave him his first taste of "real food" (mac & cheese!) recently, and he was very...confused. I'm sure he will enjoy different foods once he realizes it's okay for them not to be purees.<br />
<br />
Poor baby had surgery not once but twice this month. :( After he got his tubes put in, he became very fussy and just uncomfortable. I knew something was wrong. Turns out he had lots of blood pool and dry on his right ear drum, covering the tube. So, the ear wasn't able to drain, and he had the pressure of this scab on his ear drum. He had to go back and have this corrected and did so well. We can already tell a difference this time!<br />
<br />
He's so sweet. Always smiling. And he will grab you and give the biggest hugs and open mouth (and very wet!) kisses ever. Love. It. <br />

I need a reason to pull out my big girl camera and put to use the class I took and the many, many photography tips I've posted to Pinterest! For today, though, I rely on my phone for a quick pic of my baby boy!<br />

<tr align="left"><td>This morning, Colton finally got tubes put in his ears. I wasn't too
nervous about the surgery; many friends and the doctor were very
reassuring of how quick and easy it would be. I was nervous about the no
eating after midnight instructions. With a baby who wakes most nights
and eats/pacifies himself back to sleep, I knew we'd be in for a rough
one. Hampton spent the night with Jordan's parents, and Jordan and I
went to bed early, preparing for what was to come. And what do you
know--that little rascal slept the whole night and had to be woken up at
6 so we could leave! Such a relief!<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr2V3ZuOetsMrXlndLBOPkdB0gNYyhJHTztckJIpYZCx2aZJyPyfQyhx6sgDYfQe1cS4K3FlbZ-xCzxuBvdnob1iPEw1W54zx8dPJiXaG2vdD3uvFaDOQsRLk3d6q0zVRJLqkNCYyP86s/s640/blogger-image--619095315.jpg" /></td></tr>

He was happy as could be at the hospital-playing with us, chewing on
Sophie, and hamming it up for the nurses. They took him back around 7:30
and the doctor was back in the room about 15 minutes later saying it
went perfectly. He said Colton's ears were so bad-full of thick mucous
that wasn't going anywhere. Poor baby!<br />

As the doctor was talking, a nurse brings in our inconsolable baby. It was so pitiful! He wouldn't open his eyes, and you could tell the gas did not make him feel right. I fed him off and on, but all he would do was whimper and then start screaming again. Jordan and I passed him back and forth trying to console him. Then I would feed him again. Then he vomited. Ugh! So Then the nurse brought him some juice to see if he could keep that down. He refused to take the bottle, and he finally fell asleep in Jordan's arms. Because he got sick, we had to wait for him to wake up and make sure he was feeling better before they would let us leave, so we sat there and waited.<br />

When he woke up, he was a little fussy, but I could tell that he was getting back to himself. He didn't look so disoriented. They checked him out, said all was well, and sent us home. And Colton slept the morning away, woke up, ate, played and went about his day like nothing happened! I'm sure he has been uncomfortable for far too long. I hope this is the fix he needs. <br />

I am seriously speechless that this baby is 7 months old. I start thinking about 1st birthday party ideas, then think, "Good grief woman, he's only 7 months!" But if the next 5 months go by as fast, it will be here before I know it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

~Little man is THE happiest baby. He rarely cries or fusses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He's in 9 months clothes and size 4 diapers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~Sleeping the entire night is still a work in progress, but at least it's usually a quick fix to get him back asleep. (Have I mentioned he doesn't use a paci. Therefore, I am the quick fix!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~His schedule is still so out of whack. One day we'll have a routine. Maybe. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He is not a fan of the bottle. This doesn't help the fact the I would like to wean.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He is a fan of food. Basically any foods except peas. Green beans aren't a favorite, but he'll eat them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~This boy loves to play. I have to surround him with toys on the floor so that he can check each one out when he gets bored with the last. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He always has something in his mouth. Always. I have to keep an eye out for Hampton leaving small stuff laying around. It terrifies me that he will get a hold of something and choke!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~No teeth yet. We've said he's "teething" for months now, but have nothing to show for it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He is all over the place. Rolling, scooting, "army crawling," you name it. Not really into crawling on all 4s, though. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He has been sitting for a while, but just recently started getting himself into a sitting position.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He loves dogs. His babysitter and my parents both have dogs, and he just loves going after them, watching them, and getting kissed all over!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~He had his 7th ear infection this past month. Tubes are going to be such a relief for him!</div>

He just doesn't seem interested in getting on his knees, but he gets himself where he wants to be very quickly. Until this morning...<br />
<br />
Hampton was laying on the floor getting his diaper changed and the baby was chilling out next to us. He was just rolling around, minding his own business. Then, he spotted a puzzle. He wanted that puzzle. Hampton noticed Colton starting in that direction and got up to go get his puzzle before Colton. And what do you know, Colton gets up on all 4s and takes two "crawls" that way to try and beat his brother there!! It was so funny. He has yet to get up and do it again. I guess I'll have to put something out that they both want and have a little competition to see who can get to it first! ;)<br />

Hampton, on the other hand, woke up screaming around 4:30. Both boys have been out of whack when it comes to sleep this week, and it has worn us out! Colton, who has always been an excellent sleeper, still usually wakes up once a night, if at all, and goes right back down. Last week, he was up multiple times then ready for the day at 5. Hampton, who we usually never hear a peep from until about 7, has been up crying between 3 and 4 for a few nights now. And if Colton gets up at 5, Hampton usually follows shortly. Our house is just too small to take the baby somewhere that he won't wake H up! I'm hoping that tubes will fix Colton's sleep issues. As far as Hampton, I don't know, maybe it's a growth spurt? Or nightmares? I just want some solid nights of sleep here again soon!Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17332037895252478266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998104752856439266.post-2305851210455294112012-02-04T11:21:00.001-05:002012-02-04T11:24:55.161-05:00"Mom"petitionWhat is it about moms that makes us so insecure around other moms? When did raising children become a competitive sport? I can't say I'm not guilty. In my opinion, any mom who says she's never compared her child to another is a liar. Or in denial.<br />
<br />
My conversation with a mom yesterday at the doctor's office:<br />
Mom: how old is your son?<br />
Me: He's about six and a half months.<br />
Mom: Oh. I was thinking he was about 7 or 8.<br />
Me: (smiles) yeah, he's a big boy!<br />
Mom: Is he crawling?<br />
Me: Not yet. He rolls all over the place, though. I have a 2 year old at home, so I'm not looking forward to the trouble they will get in when he starts! How about yours? {yes, I asked! She clearly wanted me to!}<br />
Mom: oh yes, she has been crawling everywhere. She's always right at my heels!<br />
Me: Aw, that's so sweet!<br />
::the nurse calls Colton back. End of conversation::<br />
<br />
Sigh.... ;)Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17332037895252478266noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998104752856439266.post-55820660591042214312012-01-26T15:37:00.001-05:002012-01-26T20:15:10.802-05:00The life of a toddlerI haven't talked about my little monkey too much recently. Probably because I'm too busy chasing him around, jumping on demand, and doing forward rolls until we both just collapse on the floor in laughter. This little guy has more energy than I know what to do with some days!<br />
<br />
Even though being 2 brings on such horrible things like mommy picking out the wrong shoes, opening a NutriGrain bar to see it had broken in its packaging, and only getting 1 sucker when going through the bank drive thru--all of which result in epic meltdowns!--I'm loving this stage of life.<br />
<br />
Hampton has the sweetest little voice, and I never know what he is going to say. A few things that have made me smile recently:<br />
<br />
As Jordan was leaving for work- <br />
Hampton: I wanna hug. I wanna hug!<br />
(runs and gives Jordan a big hug)<br />
Jordan: Aw thanks buddy. That makes me feel so good!<br />
Hampton: I so sweet!<br />
<br />
Anytime he hears the baby pass gas, poop, or anything that sounds like that, he giggles and goes, "Oh! Baby poop!"<br />
<br />
He doesn't say yes. Ever. Instead, he says the sweetest, oh-so-southern , "oookaay". The whole family now says ok this way.<br />
<br />
He loves Colton. LOVES him. He asks for "baby" the second he wakes up. He is always bringing toys to C for him to play with. And if Colton gets his hands on something that Hampton wants to play with (or I think he shouldn't be playing with), he sweetly takes the toy away and hands him another toy and says, "here you go baby." He also loves to tickle Colton and make faces and noises that make C laugh while riding in the car.<br />
<br />
He loves going to school and church, and he asks to go to one or the other practically every day! It's fun to watch him growing and learning. <br />
<br />
He's growing so fast, but he will still climb in my arms and give me hugs and kisses and cuddle. I love it so much!! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhohtKG4qvmjizM5PABh7dxBWw0V_y9ZbVysecjazk1ysPejdkEykIhteH7k4ec39O45LCkBYhutqj0FeFHPecQDZGicAUzp2tC1JhS7wbOk_9si7PSeTvtpBTeCP7_BMreCQc6Crzt0ys/s640/blogger-image--300271644.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhohtKG4qvmjizM5PABh7dxBWw0V_y9ZbVysecjazk1ysPejdkEykIhteH7k4ec39O45LCkBYhutqj0FeFHPecQDZGicAUzp2tC1JhS7wbOk_9si7PSeTvtpBTeCP7_BMreCQc6Crzt0ys/s640/blogger-image--300271644.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8uDvXUaddpPmatk3IUMutVjOxx9qPN6AJIahb8CQobMulok-0w577bKl868SO11GZ1Rl2F8usXAemei3RMHyYX7H7SfSuaOYT4jQiV8_PDhKo9joanlreBbrwNU-oB0hEAnXaNTjsc1c/s640/blogger-image--497886470.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8uDvXUaddpPmatk3IUMutVjOxx9qPN6AJIahb8CQobMulok-0w577bKl868SO11GZ1Rl2F8usXAemei3RMHyYX7H7SfSuaOYT4jQiV8_PDhKo9joanlreBbrwNU-oB0hEAnXaNTjsc1c/s640/blogger-image--497886470.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2qM-kPtvEYAIBxMBq1djIN1pUrpj7EUilws-CoVR4oQJh3qewAy6-YiYqvn1gwAyVf1mz4BsuYzC1TgjNmohRQT15YDfkBRPEuPR7y7Qdrz9KjyrFNbWRRiXI_Q-KXsVfT_z4_PIhgbw/s640/blogger-image--773365267.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2qM-kPtvEYAIBxMBq1djIN1pUrpj7EUilws-CoVR4oQJh3qewAy6-YiYqvn1gwAyVf1mz4BsuYzC1TgjNmohRQT15YDfkBRPEuPR7y7Qdrz9KjyrFNbWRRiXI_Q-KXsVfT_z4_PIhgbw/s640/blogger-image--773365267.jpg" /></a></div>Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17332037895252478266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998104752856439266.post-470897260816810912012-01-18T22:15:00.000-05:002012-01-18T22:15:01.333-05:006 months<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Half a year has gone by since our sweet little Colton arrived, but in some ways it feels like there is no way so much time has passed and other times it feels like it has always been the 4 of us. I can't put into words what fun it is to watch this little guy grow. He is such a happy and easy going baby.<br />

We found that he had yet another ear infection at his well visit on Tuesday. That makes 6!! He is getting 3 rounds of Rocephin shots, then will go back next week for a recheck. Dr. H says that if there is any fluid in his ears at that point, we will go ahead and schedule an appointment with the ENT. I'm ready to just move on to that step. I have so many friends who have told me that getting tubes is a quick, easy procedure, and you can tell a difference almost instantly. <br />
<br />
He is now:<br />
~18lbs, 12oz. (He has gone down a bit in percentile and lost since his last appointment. We believe it is due to his complete hatred toward the bottle and me trying to wean. We're working on getting him to take a bottle again--yes, he used to take one with no problem--and going to keep an eye on his weight in the mean time. But as Dr. H put it, he has plenty of reserve, so I'm not hurting him, but we don't want it to get out of hand!) <br />
~26 inches<br />
~Sitting on his own<br />
~Rolling, scooting after things, and rocking on his knees (Are you kidding me?!)<br />
~Reaching for everything<br />
~Recognizing faces. He particularly loves his brother :)<br />
~Flirting with any girl that walks by!<br />
~Wearing 9 month clothes, size 3 diapers<br />
~Laughing at: his brother, the big bouncy ball, anyone who plays peek a boo, crazy noises<br />
~Sleeping well. Naps during the day are still a guessing game, but he sleeps from 8:30-7:30 or 8 w/ a quick wake up usually around 4:30.<br />
~Eating solids like a champ. He's a fan of sweet potatoes, apples and bananas so far.<br />

I talked to him the whole way there about how big the truck would be and that it would be loud, too. I just knew it was going to scare him! He was clingy at first, but after a little while, he was pretty excited about the whole idea! It was a lot of fun!<br />
<br />
We learned about fire safety and fire gear, the kids got to climb in and through the truck, we ate cupcakes, and then the kids ran laps around the fire truck. Such a fun idea! The party ended perfectly by the firefighters getting a call and having to leave, sirens blaring!!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdmYi4ivgtYCC6zde-dApKrIxT998ZJRmTzK054cpDhYJNfZh0EEj0Wlei1kdPLkdGZ5LTUylN9ol7lt5d1bcXGaBYGP7BxZvumxm1qNUWnUcWEk9OBTa9w6RzJJSYPZSBfGtAjJqFsnA/s640/blogger-image--2075979763.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdmYi4ivgtYCC6zde-dApKrIxT998ZJRmTzK054cpDhYJNfZh0EEj0Wlei1kdPLkdGZ5LTUylN9ol7lt5d1bcXGaBYGP7BxZvumxm1qNUWnUcWEk9OBTa9w6RzJJSYPZSBfGtAjJqFsnA/s640/blogger-image--2075979763.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeM4_9EGuVktw-jEhbRV7i8HsO3QIhCdAU4dzmREmcGEZhj21go5NhgxNM0wJdpmp_D0YuJjO7H2zJDWOCe9ua-63qb0I5N50LBT1tVU5b0fb2BoG0dpok-QMjcTx6NakWX-iG1ljjg8/s640/blogger-image-1811763069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeM4_9EGuVktw-jEhbRV7i8HsO3QIhCdAU4dzmREmcGEZhj21go5NhgxNM0wJdpmp_D0YuJjO7H2zJDWOCe9ua-63qb0I5N50LBT1tVU5b0fb2BoG0dpok-QMjcTx6NakWX-iG1ljjg8/s640/blogger-image-1811763069.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBHsmMavI2URCq3tnT1tuizUJ3Klr_zRFXF-gO58-XUpJN1SsZCjSrf6nDyy41yz7-dcMFzDEbvgupozLsavEDEIGqBprGd5XiCy2O-22fhrYenKJ99pIeQiOx8SwwuAccUWUnJOSJECs/s640/blogger-image--255932822.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBHsmMavI2URCq3tnT1tuizUJ3Klr_zRFXF-gO58-XUpJN1SsZCjSrf6nDyy41yz7-dcMFzDEbvgupozLsavEDEIGqBprGd5XiCy2O-22fhrYenKJ99pIeQiOx8SwwuAccUWUnJOSJECs/s640/blogger-image--255932822.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY96jADN7KNds_yi4Pw1UPdW-S1ZeipP11NFUMfw9wRVsuJMh9IfBwlaIn2KnAw1hULHgJnaL3aqUpqK7uD1ZZRD5FsBe8P6_VkXlrpd5bpZ26u0a8bHdJkEsAMCqmawZB-bwOmkCnrbA/s640/blogger-image-1600893089.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY96jADN7KNds_yi4Pw1UPdW-S1ZeipP11NFUMfw9wRVsuJMh9IfBwlaIn2KnAw1hULHgJnaL3aqUpqK7uD1ZZRD5FsBe8P6_VkXlrpd5bpZ26u0a8bHdJkEsAMCqmawZB-bwOmkCnrbA/s640/blogger-image-1600893089.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI6nqPbT1M8Fe5W6WSV7VraXXfVHqiX1zCW46C-l4-imVYTqVHa3MUWr-_mwtP-7DiuLHzYoMzlk_9GL6MsIE7SdGj_G4Q64nUidS9SW8NMb3Kkowqfy40BIQfs40siVfKjIVjh4j1S8o/s640/blogger-image--683581843.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI6nqPbT1M8Fe5W6WSV7VraXXfVHqiX1zCW46C-l4-imVYTqVHa3MUWr-_mwtP-7DiuLHzYoMzlk_9GL6MsIE7SdGj_G4Q64nUidS9SW8NMb3Kkowqfy40BIQfs40siVfKjIVjh4j1S8o/s640/blogger-image--683581843.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ3BAkLIMRoU-TfWKqC5rnV-qlICpgHPGf72HUQ3E95oEtnBD1O-uc2RbpQUTgkKOTcX7GQ5ovKaDN_3xZvuU4Q7pPKrZVcQ9LmC2X4wFPkL8NhDrpPxrIgrAn6nHM1A3b5l8ksRE2DVs/s640/blogger-image--717089280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ3BAkLIMRoU-TfWKqC5rnV-qlICpgHPGf72HUQ3E95oEtnBD1O-uc2RbpQUTgkKOTcX7GQ5ovKaDN_3xZvuU4Q7pPKrZVcQ9LmC2X4wFPkL8NhDrpPxrIgrAn6nHM1A3b5l8ksRE2DVs/s640/blogger-image--717089280.jpg" /></a></div>Rebekahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17332037895252478266noreply@blogger.com1
