Turn that thing off!

I guess I am trying to make up for time lost, I have been a video taping fool lately. I think Bradley is quite sick of me getting up in his face.

So lately Bradley has been wanting to sit at the big boy table at day care and refusing his high chair. He has NOT been eating at home for me either and I figured maybe it was just a phase. I was out at the toy store yesterday to get diapers and noticed a cute little diego table. Of course I bought it. I tried sitting him at it for lunch. He did great! Snack time, (which i video taped) he was perfect, and he also ate dinner there like a little angel. No fussing, no throwing food, no fits, he EVEN had good manners. Its like sitting at a table automatically gave him good manners. He ate with his spoon, he didn't feed the dog, and he nicely gave me his bowl full of food when he was done. Usually he either throws it or gives it to the dog. I have been AMAZED. I guess he just wanted to be a big boy... go figure.

heres him sitting at his new table eating lunch.

he is too funny when he wears our shoes. I got it on video also (no big surprise)

Just being cute!

Video, 1st one is of him wearing daddys shoes. not sure why i taped it sideways...

Whoo hoo! Round 2 of antibiotics here we come! Sadly the last medicine did not work with bradleys ear infection so now he has a double! He is starting to feel a bit better and its only day two of the new medicine!

Not much else is new really. I decided to take a few videos of him today to just remember these days later on. They aren't really that exciting, mostly just of him babbling and playing. Watch if you want. Oh and don't mind my dog barking at bradley, she is such a spaz. I really wish I knew what was going through that darn dogs head sometimes.

Till next time.

Who hates antibiotics?! WE DO!!!!

Bradley came down with a nasty ear infection on Friday. That was actually the last thing we suspected when he woke up at 3am and refused to go back to sleep. Poor guy then started throwing up like crazy in our bed. We knew that if we could survive until morning he would go to the doctors.

So amazingly 5 days after starting his antibiotics (yesterday) we finally started to feel the wrath of the medicine. The HORRIBLE diarrhea started up. Now hes not only pooping like a maniac but he also has a diaper rash so bad that he refuses to let me wipe.

This morning is not so good either. I got him out of bed with a dirty diaper and has gone two more times in this past half hour. Of course he thinks that its hilarious that he can now say "I pooped" and grab at his diaper. So he'll run up to me, alert me of his recent news and then run away so I can't change him. oh boy.

Another crappy thing that happened is our toaster died two days ago. I have been wanted to go get a new one this morning so he can have toast again but HE WON'T STOP POOPING!!!!! Arghhhh

Playing with a little toy that daddy brought home to cheer him up. Its supposed to shoot his cars but it just kind of falls over. lol

Mostly content when nothings happening. Just don't touch!

I managed to make him giggle :)

Wow, its been awhile!

So I finally have internet again!!! Its been about a month! Its crazy!!!!!

Lets see whats new... Bradley still loves his cars. He loves to sit on his potty, but god forbid if you pull down his diaper or pull ups to sit on the potty. Clearly thats not how its supposed to be done.

He had his 18 month check up today. Everything went perfect. He was 29 Pounds and 34 Inches. Almost 3 feet tall!!! I was glad to hear he didn't gain a pound either, he needed to even out!

He got his first haircut! Okay well I only trimmed up the back half of his mullet. Brandon wanted the top to be long still and Bradley could not sit still long enough for me to do anything else anyways! So I guess Brandon wins.

Heres his mullet before.

Heres him looking like a normal little boy.

And then heres a couple more from this past month.

My friend Hayden turned 2! He had alot of balloons at his party! Maybe mom will invite some to my party in the fall!

Guess what mom promised today?!?!?!?!

CHALK!!!!!!!!!

This is my dog tabby! Shes always on watch duty.

Who says toilet paper rolls are only for gerbals. HAH I proved daddy wrong.

Picture Day

I love my sweatshirt!!

April showers bring no Chalk playing!

I know I have slacked on the blog lately, but believe it or not I received a complaint!

Lets see, whats new this month.... Bradleys favorite thing in the whole wide world has now become Chalk. He yells it day and night wanting to play. Sadly its been rainy and cold the past few days so I have not had the chance to let him play.

We also went to the Zoo in Providence a few weeks ago. I am having a brain fart on the name of it for some reason. It was a little chilly but Bradley had a great time. He ran the entire zoo and was EXHAUSTED after.

Heres some photos from the zoo and others from this past month.

Here I am waiting for mommy and daddy to catch up

Those yaks were a little scary looking, Daddy didn't seem frightened at all

Mommy likes this photo.

I liked the bald eagle!

I don't remember this photo for some reason....

How can you NOT be happy with a shirt like this??

Daddy brought these glasses home for me! Hot stuff!

Oh my days are so tough

Come on Spring!

I am really hoping that Spring brings nice weather and healthier children Then maybe, and this is a big MAYBE healthier children means less of a chance Bradley can bring it home!!!!! I am so tired of sicknesses! Bradleys still coughing, I came down with pneumonia and to top it off we got a flat yesterday.

Can someone lend us some good luck? I promise I will give it back, but it might be covered in wet cheerios when I give it back.

On another note, hes still not talking all that much. He still jabbers non-stop but we are still waiting for some more words to form. He is doing wonderfully with a fork, I really was not expecting him to use a fork and spoon yet for some reason, but I guess I was just under estimating his capabilities. He still likes to be just as silly as always.

This is of Bradleys "hat" he has been wearing constantly. It is just a little plastic bowl that was sent home with us from the hospital with Bradley when he was born. He discovered I forgot to take it off his dresser (and mom forgot he could reach EVERYTHING now) it was still filled with water and a cloth from when he had a fever. He dumped the water on the carpet and went running around with it on his head from there on. I don't know what possesed him to try it on his head but its been pretty much attached to him sinse. (notice the change of clothes, i am not joking!)









Have a good week everyone! Its now time for me to rest.

We have got the Croup :(

I still can not believe we just got a whole foot of snow. This needs to end already! My poor dog can barely walk, nor breathe when the snow is that high!

Poor Bradley came down with the Croup over the weekend. He has already taken all the medication he was prescribed but sadly hes still feeling crummy. He is barely eating, but we are forcing in enough Milk to keep him hydrated and getting some nutrients at least. We think his fever is gone as well. He was constantly every couple hours spiking a fever to 102+ from Sat-Mon. I have yet to see how today goes!

I am not sure if he was feeling slightly better last night at dinner time or not but he actually ate some of a meal with us for the first time since Friday. He is also making it pretty clear that I need to go out and buy him a childrens utensil set. He is clearly ready! He uses a spoon for messy things alot, but last night we cooked ham and as soon as it was chopped up and put on his high chair he freaked out pointing at Brandon's plate and fork. Not having any forks his size that will actually peirce through the ham was a problem, but we found a clear plastic throw-away fork and he was as happy as a clam. No wonder hes been freaking out at dinner time lately, he wants to eat like us!

I got a short video of him eating with the fork, I didn't want to distract him too much.

Heres a few of Baby Bradley trying to combat his fever.








These are from last week.







I had to put this one up, he got a hold of this gatorade bottle and was addicted!



And this would be Brandon and I being stupid at the dogs expense. This cape was from a Valentines Day stuffed animal.







I'll toss this on here as well incase anyones actually interested. Its basically just of Bradley playing.

Wonderful Wednesday

Well, heres an update for those of you who I rarely talk to in person.  Things are going well here.  Bradley is fully recovered from his ER trip last week.  Thankfully it was a nice smooth healing process.  He shows no signs of pain at all!  yay!  :)   We are back on normal foods and I swear it did not slow him down at all.  He was in pain for the first day then from there on out was back to his normal crazy dangerous self.   What am I in store for?!   What was I thinking having a boy.... lol  

Here are some photos from a day or two after when it was healing.  I am so happy they were lower and actually in his lip rather than up higher through his skin.  That would have been worse.  

I will have to upload new photos later.....  I shall return soon enough....

Goodnight! 

Trip to the ER!

Sadly we had our first non-allergy related trip to the ER this morning.

Bradley fell and smacked his mouth. His two front teeth drove right through his lip and came out the front. I couldn't believe he actually did that, there was so much blood. We spent a whole 2.5 hours WAITING in the ER before the doctor looked at him. It was insanely busy.

Hes been down for his nap for quite some time now and I am really dreading feeding him lunch. He is supposed to only have liquid food for 2 days and we have to clean out the holes in his lips with a q-tip after every single feeding to get the food out. UGH, i know he won't let me do that, theres no way this will be an easy few days. He screams with drinking anything also.

I feel so terrible.

Go Rescue Pack!

Not too much going on here. Bradley is just working on his words more and more. Every time he comes home from daycare he seems to be putting different words or sounds together. I knew the other children would influence him, but I wasn't sure if two days a week really would do anything. Currently his vocabulary seems to consist mainly of:

Dad
Mom
Milk
Dog
No
Oh no
Oh yea
Baby

I thought he said more but maybe I am just having a brain fart on anything else.
Well, lets see...

My huge Diego fan finally has gotten his first rescue pack! Go rescue pack! It can turn into a bike, a kayak, a parasail, a car. (Well at least it can on the tv show) lol. :) Oddly enough, he actually does like to wear it.


You got the picture right?



Good, lets go!

Here we are relaxing before bedtime. The kitchen floor is more comfortable than you'd think.

Being cute in "my" kitchen

Man...theres never anything to eat in the fridge....

Another Snow day

Oh joy, its snowing again. At least Bradley likes it.

We went outside when it has just first started hoping he wouldn't slip around too much!

Who says I HAVE to keep books in this bucket?!
