But he looks so flippin' big. He got a hair cut - kinda mohawk but no scalp showing. Here it is down. I took some pics of it up as well, but I am too too tired to get those done tonight.<br /><br />I wish I could get him to look at me more often, but I'll take this one. He was not happy at all to have to look at me (for a toy reward- bad!).<br /><br />Is he really growing up this fast?<br /><br />**sigh**Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108347790490812029noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080118415611180399.post-31625989411357103132009-05-05T11:23:00.000-05:002009-05-05T11:25:10.715-05:00I Don't Like HerG: But...but...but...I don't want to go to school today.

Prepare to be bored if you are not family. I will keep them short, but there will be a few in a row for now! In three weeks in January/February Greyson potty trained, moved houses, moved schools, and went from crib to big-boy bed. He did awesome with the transition and apparently it was me that wasn't ready for most of those things. Anyhoo after he pees he says, "Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your body!" while he shakes off his you-know-what. So I said, "Don't you mean 'Shake your booty?" He proceeded to tell me that Miss Krystal says, "No say shake your booty!" I looked grave and said that he should do what his teacher says then. So he came home the other day and told me what he did at school. I had him retell it for the camera but it wasn't as great as the first time... <br /><br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-e5168d309908a6ad height=266 width=320 contentId="e5168d309908a6ad"></OBJECT><br /><br />In case you can't decipher it, when his teacher told him not to say it, he hid his face inside his shirt and said it where she "can't hear" him. And thus we enter the I can't see you, you can't see or hear me. This also works with putting your hand in front of your face while you pick your nose. P.S. Oh my GOD it takes so long to upload a video...this could be the deal killer.Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108347790490812029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080118415611180399.post-67240486269536388312009-02-16T19:52:00.002-06:002009-02-16T20:00:54.592-06:00Fire!I have been away too long and missed too many funny things but something happened this afternoon that I must tell you about. <br /><br />G and I are sitting on a bench at daycare and he points to the fire alarm (the pull kind). <br />G: That make loud noise.<br />M: You never EVER touch that unless there is a fire.<br />G: Gretchen touch that make loud noise.<br />M: Oh no. Well, you never never touch that to play.<br />G smirks at me and inches toward the alarm<br />At that EXACT moment (I swear!) we hear a siren close by<br />M: Oh no! They must be coming to see if you touched the alarm!<br />G jumps away from the alarm<br />G: I no touch it!<br />The ambulance turns onto the street and pulls up to the house across the way and over a little<br />G and I walk outside and talk about ambulances<br />Another LOUD siren sounds and a few seconds later a fire truck pulls onto the street<br />M: Uh-oh...here comes the fire truck - I hope they don't think you touched the alarm!<br />G tries to climb up my leg, screams I NO TOUCH IT! and starts to cry hysterically<br /><br />Here and only here is the point where I start to feel bad. Although I also still think it's funny if I'm being completely honest.<br /><br />So I tell him they know he didn't pull it and they are good guys anyway and they help people like in <span style="font-style:italic;">Dot the Fire Dog</span> and so on. He relaxes and no harm is done. Right?

My penis is...my penis is...(he has started repeating the beginnings of his sentences a couple of times before he gets going)...my penis is TALL!" and then, "I make it go down (pushes it down)...I can't!"<br /><br />Anyhoo I am starting a project that will hopefully help me stay on top of taking pictures of my own child in addition to paying customers. I'm calling it "52 Weeks of G" and I will TRY to get them up here each week.<br /><br />Here's the first:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1361/3167505752_c97484cd3a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 333px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1361/3167505752_c97484cd3a.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108347790490812029noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080118415611180399.post-72738646749058384162008-11-30T10:57:00.001-06:002008-11-30T10:58:54.860-06:00Diaper Change ConversationG: AHHHHAHAHA!

Greyson tripped over a toy and hit his head on the bookshelf. It, um, broke the skin. It stopped bleeding and he's not even crying but um...I think he might need stitches."<br /><br />So I remain calm and go to get him. He is in a great mood when I get there and runs up to me. Aaaaaand I can see his skull. My stomach gave a little turn but I think I managed to keep my smile. <br /><br />We drove over to an urgent care/doctor's office. On the way there he told me that he had ice in a bag to make him feel better. And apparently what made him feel better was eating the ice out of the bag. Why not?<br /><br />When we got there he was still all smiles and they took one look and sent us right back. Both the doctor and the nurse were VERY nice. They were calm and reassuring, talked directly to G, and answered his one million questions. Well, they actually answered variations of, "What's THAT?" one million times. He was still happy while we held gel on it and even while we wrapped him up in the "papoose" - a board and basically to the ankles straitjacket. 3 seconds into the numbing shot he started screaming bloody murder and did not stop. The nurse and I held his head tightly while he freaked. He screamed, "I DONE WITH THIS!" over and over. At this point I did start to get a little clammy, especially when he got the darting crazy overexcited horse eyeballs. When the finished they rushed to unstrap him and release him into my arms. He sat right up and said, "I get lollipop, please?" -didn't even want a hug. <br /><br />Whew. Good thing he gets over things reallyreally fast. He proceeded to charm all of the nurses and we went and got him a lollipop AND a new little car. <br /><br />Then I brought him back to school with me to eat a "special" lunch (cafeteria food!) and hang for awhile. Then I **coughcough** took him back to daycare. What? He felt fine and looked tired and I had a busy afternoon at school and a newborn shoot. The daycare people looked at me like a was bonkers when we walked back in. So shine the 'ol Mother of the Year award and pop it in the mail anytime you want.<br /><br />These pics were taken this morning after I had to hold him down and tear off half of his forehead when I removed the band-aid (to check for weird stuff - not just for pictures, I swear). He was unhappy with me.<br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=PoorBaby110608Blog.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/PoorBaby110608Blog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=Stitches110608Blog.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/Stitches110608Blog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=IOkay110608Blog.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/IOkay110608Blog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Horribly HORRIBLY traumatized as you can see.<br /><br />This is what Tim had to say:<br />"Seventy-five dollars?

I started to sigh and say that we needed to get home to start dinner when he patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit next to me. Let's talk." It was so hilarious. I sat. How could I refuse? We sat on the couch for a few minutes while parents and children came and went, and G told me about his day. I love it.Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108347790490812029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080118415611180399.post-42656305093931048642008-11-03T20:36:00.003-06:002008-11-03T20:39:20.590-06:00Treat!Friends (and especially family), I'm really sorry for the long delay, but we have been SO busy! Posts will be all over the place since I want to go back and post about things I missed. <br /><br />In the meantime, here's G in his costume this year. He was so darn cute. He shook hands with everyone he saw and said, "Vote for G!" <br /><br />He had a terrible diaper rash and half-way through trick-or treating I took off his slacks and diaper so he could air it out.

He calls her "Phia." I went in to get him this morning and before he opened his eyes he said, "I see Phia." He was very very sad when I told him we wouldn't see her today. <br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=SophiaBWWeb062308.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/SophiaBWWeb062308.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />"I go Phia's house."

It was way cool. Next time I hope to get Tim and G together at the south location (which is more photogenic). You may say that you can't even tell that he got a haircut, but I say someone FINALLY listened to me and just got it out of his eyes/cleaned it up instead of cutting it all off or giving him a mullet. Yay Kim at Bird's!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633120223/" title="IMG_8676 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/2633120223_4427bb663a_o.jpg" width="400" height="600" alt="IMG_8676 Web 070108" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633120161/" title="IMG_8677 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3043/2633120161_3acc641417_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="IMG_8677 Web 070108" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633940174/" title="IMG_8679 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2633940174_588a034915_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="IMG_8679 Web 070108" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633120037/" title="IMG_8680 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3168/2633120037_8eddd5ef0d_o.jpg" width="400" height="600" alt="IMG_8680 Web 070108" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633119993/" title="IMG_8681 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2633119993_07496e231d_o.jpg" width="400" height="600" alt="IMG_8681 Web 070108" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633939920/" title="IMG_8692 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3171/2633939920_c2aebbd2d6_o.jpg" width="400" height="600" alt="IMG_8692 Web 070108" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633939868/" title="IMG_8694 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3185/2633939868_442c269e0a_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="IMG_8694 Web 070108" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/melanie_in_texas/2633119783/" title="IMG_8700 Web 070108 by melanie_in_texas, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3268/2633119783_dc6d6a0625_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="IMG_8700 Web 070108" /></a>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108347790490812029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080118415611180399.post-28165805824064430082008-06-30T22:18:00.000-05:002008-06-30T22:19:21.062-05:00My StunnerHe's really starting to favor me, no?<br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=SpittinImageWeb062408.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/SpittinImageWeb062408.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108347790490812029noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080118415611180399.post-68776859183333911912008-06-29T12:37:00.002-05:002008-06-29T13:44:54.228-05:00Backyard Fun!And now, the promised pics from Bonnie's birthday!<br /><br />This is Sophia, Greyson, and Ben playing at the water table.

Some of the women play the djembe, which is the instrument I am (sort of) learning to play. I take classes with some of the new friends I have made in Austin and I love it so much.<br /><br />Greyson and his friends danced and danced!! It makes me so happy to watch him. I really got into it, too. We had a wonderful summer night relaxing with our friends. I LOVE pictures of Greyson dancing...especially the ones where he is in motion. His friends Mia and Ava were also shakin' it big time!<br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=IMG_7384Web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/IMG_7384Web.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=IMG_7310Web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/IMG_7310Web.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=IMG_7391.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/IMG_7391.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=IMG_7258.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/IMG_7258.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=IMG_7419.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/IMG_7419.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/?action=view¤t=IMG_7273Web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c300/MelanieRM/IMG_7273Web.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108347790490812029noreply@blogger.com1
