1-29-10 Marylou 1st art project

Marylou made her first art project - a finger painting - today. I globbed on a few globs of blue and yellow and let her go to town. She seemed to enjoy the feeling of the paint, rubbing her hands back and forth. A few times she lifted her hands up, looked at them, and open-shut-open-shut them...trying to figure out what was going on.

Memphis decided to forgo the finger paints (been there, done that - right?) and go for the stamps instead. He chose the vehicle stamps - which he LOVED! He commented on how the stop sign stamp was yellow, adn that it really should be red...and the fire truck stamp was blue, and it really should be red. He said, "Momma, these stamps is all mixed up! They is so silly!"

Snow Day!

We had an unexpected snow today. Memphis was very excited, "Momma, it's snowing! Look! Snow is fallin' down, down, down...out a da sky. Yeah, snow!" I suggested we go out to explore, and Memphis happily agreed. He brought 2 cars with him so he could make snow tracks in the yard. Marylou also crawled around on the ground - and was pretty happy until her arm gave way and she face planted in the snow. After that she was much happier to ride about in the stroller. We took the stroller for a short walk to the pond. The pond was mostly frozen over, but the section right next to the bridge was still open water. Memphis found a few rocks to throw in - and giggled. Next, we made a few snow balls and Memphis tried throwing them in. He was very interested to see that they didn't sink like rocks, but instead floated on top of the water. One of the snow balls got caught in the current and was sucked under the bridge - we ran to the other side to see if we could find it when it came out. Memphis was SO EXCITED to see it and said, "WEEEeeeeee!" as the snowball rode its' way down the falls. We then (of course) had to repeat this process a dozen times. On our way home we saw a sand truck, he waved hello to us, and Memphis happily chattered about the dirt in the road, "I like dirt! Yeah, I do. I like it a lot!"

4 month check-up

12 lbs, 9 oz = 25th percentile
24 inches = 25th percentile

I am still little, but getting bigger! ...and Dr.Binder says I am very healthy...and I have "resolved feeding issues"!!!! Woo HOO!!!!!

Here I am, waiting for Dr.Binder to come back, and dreading my shots. Yes. They were as bad as I thought they would be.

so cute

Momma just thought I was SO CUTE that she made me post today...so I wouldn't forget what I said...

FIRST - I was playing with my Lego train set. Mahoney was sitting on the track, so I said, "Move Honey! Scuse me. Scuse me, Honey. Please." When he got up I said (so happily) "Oh! Tank you Honey! Tank you!" And then as he walked away I made a deep voice and pretended to be Honey and said, "you wew-come."

SECOND - I was building my train really big and Daddy said, "Oh, Memphis...you're building ht train so tall!" As I built the train up and up I said, "Woe. I buildin it. My train is SO TALL! Up and up and up, up, up." Then my train fell. "Oh no! Too big. Fall on, my train fall on my head. It falled right on my head. I gotta boo boo. I ok. Let's try again. Buildin it up so tall."

7-29-09...Long Island part 2

Nursing hasn't been going so well (AGAIN) so Momma had to take me back to Long Island to see Dr. Coryllos again. After quite a bit of observation, Dr.Coryllos decided I needed to have my tongue clipped again. (do you notice a pattern here?)

It turns out that my tongue healed funny and the scar tissue was holding part of my tongue down again. It had to go!

I was very brave and did even better this time around. Momma watched the clock... I cried for 1 and a half minutes this time and fell right to sleep. It takes a lot out of you, I tell you! Keep your fingers crossed that it heals better this time.
