Mom

By the way...

9:15 PM

I recently spoke up about motherhood and dealing with my mother's death over here, if you care to listen. I don't mind if you don't since I haven't completely finished listening to it myself - because I'm terrified and nervous that I don't make any sense or that it's just useless drivel. But, you know after that "interview" I felt this sort of release, a relief of sorts. It allowed me to come to terms with my mom's death and what was most surprising was the realization of how much of an easy going mom I came to be..which is NOT how I ever imagined myself becoming or ever being.

If you haven't already visited this parenting site - The Longest Shortest Time - you should. I know there are a lot of parenting blogs out there but this one is articulate, refreshing and just real..not that those other blogs aren't real but anyway, have a gander over there and you'll see what I mean..and as an example, don't start with mine first! Start at the beginning..or not, or whatever. just go over there and check out the stories (podcasts).

mini update

catching up, update

This helicopter ride was my favorite as a kid because it was really the only one worth the quarter or two you would spend on any of the other rides that just kind of vibrated because this ride actually goes up and down. But back in my day - i remember it even going side to side - and you could control it - now i dont think it allows you but still totally worth the three quarters (ok we spent $1.50 on it). Jax was still totally content with just sitting on the other rides without having to pay :). He spent a good hour in this area with Charlie, while I tried to shop for some maternity clothes - but couldn't find anything worth waiting in line for or really spending any money on.

After our trip - he totally conked out! :)

Here's a compilation of Jax's sleeping positions:



Butt in air (hands underneath his body)- his favorite


 The "Al Bundy" - a new favorite of mine.


Then came this one - What should this one be called?

--------

Friday after our ultrasound of baby #2... I got a call at work from Jax's daycare saying he was running a fever AND shaking. I tried to tell her - well, he is teething. Did you try and just give him some ibuprofen and wait an hour to see if the fever went down? to which they of course said - well, we're not supposed to keep them when they have a fever to begin with...so I pick him up (during nap time - they could have at least told me to come AFTER nap time - the poor kid hasnt been sleeping very well as of late!) and he was pretty cooperative and we went home and I undressed him a bit (they had him completely bundled up - not good for a high fever but understandable since they thought he was shivering) and we played and I gave him snacks and whatdaya know - he's totally fine (except he did continue to have a fever off an on throughout the entire weekend..and it only finally broke last night around 10 pm when he was asleep for about 2 hours and continued to wake every few hours. He got so used to us sleeping all together AND getting 24 hour nursing sessions again.....bad habits die hard! Poor kid's voice is hoarse!)

See, the kid's fine...




bathtime

bath time

2:44 PM


Jax loves bath time, but really he just loves playing with water. He now has learned how to sort of pretend play with water - or rather pretend that the water is coming out of the faucet. He makes that sound whenever he is near a faucet or spigot. He also makes that sound - as if to say or ask to turn on the faucet - especially when we are trying to brush his teeth at the sink.

Here is a video of him on his potty from yesterday's post. He was scooting around for a bit, until i started to film him of course! I was using my phone so it makes it a bit dark - even with some brightness added to it.

Potty

4:12 PM

Last night when I asked if he needed to go potty - he went running to the bathroom (straight thru that hallway behind Jax) and scooted out from the bathroom on his potty. He was scooting on that thing like crazy. No poopin, just scootin. Sorry..i swear i get the inkling to make those corny jokes from my Mom!

More updates soon..sorry :)
