Michevious Toddler Caught In the Act!

Jamie loves bouncing on the mini-trampoline at my In-Laws house.
I had pulled the couch cushions off, in hopes that he'd like to climb the cushion 'tower' instead of climbing onto the back of the couch. Around Dinnertime, he wanted to take off a couch cushion.. and this is what I saw with the camera. This was a few days ago on the 5th of March.



He's standing up on the couch...


He's on the other cushion.


He's getting on.. :-)


You can see he's been jumping. I think he's a little monkey!
See that mischievous little grin on his face in the pictures?
I'm sure there are many more moments like this to come!

Sitting around the house

I am happy to report that the suit jacket Jamie got baby powder on looks brand new. I was able to get it out and just home-drycleaned it. So that's all good.

These pictures I have gotten weren't too hard to get. The last one was kind of hard to get, as he kept getting up and down.. but here they are. Sorry about the mess. It seems I need to clean up a bit more. LOL



Here Is Jamie sitting in his Elmo chair watching TV.




Here is Jamie in the bathroom sitting on his potty with his diaper on. He doesn't understand yet what it's for. He does like to sit on it though, which is good.

Look at What Jamie did!

I know, I haven't posted much of anything for a little bit, but it's been real busy. Jamie's been on a 'nap strike' (providing there is such a thing :-P) lately and it's getting to the point where some days he'll nap and other times he doesn't.
After nearly an hour and a half of getting him to sleep, I decided he should go in his room. I put the gate up. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I checked on him about an hour or so later.

I took one look and said 'Oh, Jamie'


Yup, you guessed it. It's baby powder.


Look how messed up his bed is!


Those are some of his toys.


Baby powder is ALL over the floor!


Jamie absolutely COVERED the rocking chair in baby powder!


He does manage to tear apart his room. It doesn't take him very long either.



He even got baby powder on one of Daddy's nice suit jackets!

By the end of the day, I had gotten his room picked up. Yesterday he cried when I turned the vacuum on and even cried when I even got near the vacuum. I did it though. The baby powder made the room smell good.



The Clean Doorway



Things are cleaner!



Finally, All Clean!

Dad/Lad Look

Trey and I and Jamie were just playing around the other night when we tried to get Jamie to wear his glasses. He likes to take Daddy's glasses off.. lol. Jamie didn't want to keep them on very long, so this picture was a little hard to get, but I snapped quick, and it's such a cute picture. Those are his Elmo glasses. Doesn't he look SOO cute?

I was soo excited to be able to get the picture.

Here it is! :-D

Who does Jamie Look Like?

We had that same question. There has been a lot of speculation about this in both our families. Now we know. lol :-)

Everyone's Better!

It's been another week, and Jamie's all better. He finished all his medicine, so he's good to go. I found out there really isn't a need for a follow-up visit this time. He's becoming more and more talkative, sometimes though we can't understand what he's trying to say. He seems to be experimenting with other sounds and we try to encourage that.

Jamie's done great in Nursery too these past couple weeks. I think he understands now that we will always come back for him. That helps, plus he's getting familiar with everyone there.

Jamie's still adjusting to his big bed. He is having a little bit of a problem staying in his bed. We're trying to be patient, but hopefully he'll get it.
Jamie hasn't had any problems with giving up his pacifier yet, although I have noticed he puts his fingers in his mouth though, esp his thumb. Hopefully he doesn't turn to his thumb. I've heard that's a harder habit to break than the pacifier.

Jamie still sits on the potty just about every day. That's good. I think all he knows is that it's somewhere else to sit, not necessarily what the potty is for. We've told him what it's for though.

Daddy's all better too. Daddy keeps busy. He has a new class he's signed up for at Our Lady of the Lake University he goes to every other week. So he's got that going, and working still at Valero Energy.

Mommy's keeping busy too taking care of my boys and keeping up the house, which is hard because there is SO much to do. I manage though. Time for me is at a minumum though. I try to make the most of Jamie's naptimes, as I am sure most mothers do.

Another Family Update.

We went back to Jamie's doctor last Friday to follow up on whether or not the ear infection was gone. It had gone away, however, our doctor found that he had the beginnings of a sinus infection now. They prescribed some more antibiotics, so now he takes those now. Hopefully, that will clear up as well.

Jamie's adjusting to his big bed, but now the crib is gone! We heard of one of my mom's friends needing a crib for her baby, so we lent it to her for the time being.
It's been about a week since we first put him on the big bed, but hopefully soon he will get used to napping as well as sleeping in it at night.

Jamie hasn't had any problems adjusting to life without his pacifier. It seemed he was ready to give it up.

Jamie got a potty seat for Christmas. I opened it up just yeserday and he's still exploring it. I have told him matter-of-factly what it is for and surprisingly, he doesn't object to actually sitting on the potty seat with his diaper on. Maybe he'll show an interest sometime this year but for now, we'll concentrate on getting him used to the big bed first. Then we may see if he's interested again.

Daddy has a sinus infection and some kind of respiratory infection, so he's taking antibiotics too. My poor poor boys. Well, they should bounce back soon.
