Meal Time

Since I still don't have much of an appetite at dinner tonight I decided it was time for Gunner to try some rice cereal.  He was a pro!  He kept almost all of it in and didn't do the weird tongue push out thing, he was grabbing my hand to get it in faster, he LOVED it!

first food..rice cereal and apple juice

Sticky mess

Remember last time I was sick and gave the boys some freedom and ended up with a house full of play doh?!  I can now say it has been topped. 

When you walk down stairs to find this on the kitchen floor you know your in for a super sticky mess!

(hard to tell but this honey bottle is from costco so it is costco size and it was brand new and now the head is empty)

A whole bears head of honey has been poured on the kitchen floor and then spread out with a knife.  When you ask the boys what happen and Van quickly responds with "the Daddy Sharky did it", you know he is the one guilty of this crime.  He then went on to tell me that he was making a sandwich.  I would have believed that because he does make sandwiches sometimes.  But not this time he didn't even bother to get the bread or peanut butter out.  I don't buy his story!!  He lucked out because I am sick AGAIN and had no energy to deal with this so he slid by with some not so kind words.  Thanks Whitney and Tommy for coming to the rescue and watching the boys.  Thanks Mom for leaving work with no notice to take me to the hospital and sitting with me in that boring room for hours until Jason came. 

Whitney here is something to think about...Landon living with you?!

When they picked me up from the hospital today he said can't you stay longer why did you have to leave.  Wow I can feel the love!  At least Van said he missed me.   

Flipping Over

1-2-3 Look at me!

 I am a little slow at getting this up but he started flipping from his tummy to back at eight weeks! He is usually happy when he is flipping over (just not in this picture) then gets mad when he is stuck on his back.  And yes, he does wear shirts it just happened to not be on.

Round Two

 Last Friday Jason was sick and stayed home from work so I took Landon to school.  I walked him in as I pass by his teacher she tells me how he is really struggling.  I told her I could tell and that he was struggling at home.  I was floored at what she told me next "he is a perfectionist so I just keep telling him to cut faster, color faster, and just go faster".  Seriously it is the first week of school and you just sent me an email saying he was doing great?!  Landon and  I continue down the hallway to the play ground and I tell him to just go as fast as he can today and give it another try.  As he is standing there crying he says "if I do that she will get mad and put a big X on my paper".  Sure enough he comes home crying as usual and gives me the paper that has a two big X's and she wrote on it "TIME IS UP".  I could not believe it, I felt so bad I told him all week to get over it and that she was not that bad.  I thought for sure he was making it out to be worse than it was but I was wrong.  Sorry Landon for making you spend ten long days with that horrible teacher. 
I called Monday and switched him schools. 
Day one went great.  He was not sure at first but when I picked him up he loved and said "we got recess and snack" (the other teacher told him she did not have that in her classroom it was a distraction).  Day two he comes running out to meet me and says "I had recess and snack again and I NEVER want to go back to that mean teacher"!!  He got a few weird looks as he yelled that out.  I am so glad round two has worked out, he is so much happier and so am I!

It was a great Sunday, Jason was able to bless Gunner and Tommy blessed Roman!  Those two little guys sure did look handsome.   

*Mom I must have only took pics of Gunner and Roman together with your camera so I need to borrow it!  Thanks

I give up!!

Landon....Takes him an hour to get ready seriously he won't even Velcro his shoes himself.  Dragging him out the door "Mom why can't it be 5 days home 2 days at school"?!  Yup, every day is just like that!  Not sure I can handle much more he may be a Kindergarten drop out. 

Van...Well, lets just say his little baby teeth are going to cost me BIG HUGE AMOUNTS! Nicer things better start coming out of his mouth with all the money we are putting into it. 

Gunner...AKA Mr. Long and Lean. 

weight 8pounds 4ounces=0% * length 22 3/4 inches 45% * head 14 3/4 8% *

Yes, he failed his 2 month check up.  For some reason only gaining one pound in two months is not going to cut it, weight checks here we come.  On a happier note he is smiling, talking, and never stops moving.  He can even cruise up and back down his crib unless he gets stuck!  Don't worry Mr. Long and Lean Similac will fatten you up.

This just made me laugh, I guess it is time to put some bumpers up. 

Note to self

don't have a doctor and dentist appointment back to back it is just way to depressing. 

The diagnosis is....

Last night after we got ready for bed Landon got sick, really sick.  He was up for hours running to the bathroom.  It was so bad that he knew he would not be able to go to school in the morning.  I felt so bad as he told me what was wrong with him.  "I was taking my shower when Van snuck in (always happens) and plugged the bath then he put in bubbles.  Some of the bubbles got into my mouth and now they are stuck in my stomach.  The bubbles just keep coming up into my mouth and I have to run to the bathroom to spit them out into the sink."  Wow Landon, I can't believe you have bubble disease good thing it goes away when you sleep.  He got up this morning feeling great but he needed the day off.  I hyped him up told him he would have extra time on the play ground if we left fast and off we went.  He held it together until he got in the car and the tears began.  Poor Landon just can not stop talking, he better learn.  Can't wait to see what tonight and tomorrow brings.
