Godzilla

That boy, yikes. He pushed my buttons today.

-stuck his hand in the toilet after Gemma peed in it...EWWWW!
-threw his broccoli on the floor.
-knocked Gemma's plate of snack out of her hand on the floor
-spilled a cup of water
-threw food off the food shelf

He seriously is a walking disaster. Walk to the bedroom, pull down the clock. Climb on mommy's foot massager. Try to get in the bathroom to get the drain. Pull the stuff off the kitchen shelves. Go see if someone left the bathroom door open. As I am cleaning up one mess he is making another.And he will not lay still when I change his diaper. Which I had to do 6 times today!!!! All poopy ones!!!!!

His first rash went away last week only to be replaced by a different worse rash. This once looks like excema (sp?). It was bright red on his cheeks and nose, and scaly. Lotion seems to help and it is finally better looking today. I hope it is not a food allergy. And in other health problems, he has a sore on his.... hmm.... kind of down under his sack. It started as what looked like a little scrape, like a skinned knee but really small, and now it is getting bigger and redder. I mean, of course it is; its been in his poopy pee diaper all day. I've changed him a lot, and cleaned it as well as I could each time, and put polysporin on it but I am not sure how to dress wounds down there... I'll get some bandages tomorrow I guess and see if I can find a way to keep it clean and dry.

What's with kids being sick so much??

Should I stay or should I go...

...to the dr., that is. Ugg, so hard to know when they need to see a doctor or if they are just regular sick. The little man was really sleepy on Sunday. Awake for an hour, then a nap. Awake for an hour, then a nap. He also got a rash, and a mild fever, and hen he threw up a few times, so we took him in. Oh, and his lips turned purple, too. (Has anyone seen that before? It was like he was freezing cold.) He had that for a bit on Sunday and Monday. So I took him in yesterday. She checked him over really well, I really like this new doctor, and said it was probably a viral GI thing. She sent us down for a sonogram, just in case, but that was fine. So he has some medicine, and we'll see. He was acting more normal today so that's good. He looks terrible though, all bumpy and pimply but Dr. Tsai said that the rash will take 3-5 days to go away.

He has started saying No. You can tell he hears it about a million times a day. He sings a little song, up and down, "no no no no no no no no no. No no no no no." Babies are so cute.

The Treasure That He Seeks...

...is Nature's Valley Oats and Honey granola bars. You know, the ones from Costco with the green shiny wrapper and are super crunchy and crumbly? We have a box of them and have been keeping it on the floor due to lack of space anywhere else and the little guy loves to get into them. He grabs one, and struts around the house with it, waving it like a prize. Then he chews n it until he bites through the wrapper. Then he carries it around getting crumbs everywhere. This game of course got old really fast and now he doesn't get away with it as much, but hewas just so determined to get into that granola bar. And now he is having his first feelings of, Wait a minute, I WANT that! and he gets super mad when you take it away. Its still so cute and funny at this point, baby tantrums.

He is starting to really get the phone. Yesterday he was playing with my cell and he held it up to his ear and said, "hi?" I love how they start to learn things.
