Dentist 2marrow

• Mica has a second dentist appointment 2marrow. The first one didn't work out (he wouldn't open his mouth). I'm taking him this time, so maybe he'll be different with me then when Travis took him. He was also sick the last time. I so want him to just open his mouth and do what he's supposed to do. I don't want to take off of work again for this; when he doesn't cooperate. Man he can be stubborn (just like his dad, ok me too). It also makes us look bad as parents; like we never brush his teeth, when we do twice a day. We bought him Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist. I hope this book influences him in a positive way.

• Keep your fingers crossed that Mica is a success at the dentist office.

Sitting Up in the Crib Part 2

• Isaak kept waking up all weekend sitting up in his crib. He's practicing his new talent in his sleep. I remember Mica doing this as well.

Isaak Has a Cold

• Isaak has a full blown cold. He's been snotty and has had watery eyes. I've been pushing the saline nose spray; followed by the nose sucker and that seems to help get the snot out. Otherwise he can't breath when he nurses. We've been going through a lot of warm wash clothes at our house. I've had to change clothes more then Isaak because he wipes his tired face against my shirt; then my shirt gets all snotty. Quite attractive I know, but it's all part of parenthood.

Mommy's Boy

• There are certain times when kids like their mommies better then their daddies and visa versa. Mica likes to wrestle and play outside with Travis more then with me. When playing with his Nerf guns and cars, he goes to Daddy. Pillow fights are more of a guy thing. He likes to cuddle with me because Travis hates being fidgeted with. I'm the one who reads to him the most. I'm more patient with him in the kitchen.

• Isaak like's women more then men right now. Maybe it's because they have built in pillows, I'm not sure. He sleeps laying on Grandma Spiehs in a heart beat. I have his milk supply; he knows that when I walk in the room it's feeding time. He has an angry cry if I don't pick him up right away after being gone all day. He loves his Daddy too, but prefers me right now. It's this new found realization that girl's equal milk and comfort. Mica used to be the same way at Isaak's age.

Blog Giveaways

• These blogs have giveaways every month for baby/kid things: http://nowwhatbaby.blogspot.com and http://blog.mom4life.com/

• Now What Baby has a whole bunch of giveaways put up all month and Mom 4 Life has a new giveaway every week. It's worth checking out. One of my favorites was a giveaway for a knit mohawk hat. Of course I'd never buy one of these hats on my own, they are $65 - Crazy! But if I win one, that would be cool!

Isaak Bear Hug

• I wish everyone could experience an Isaak bear hug. He hugs so tight, and pats your back. It's so cute, and feels so nice!

I Love Her

• Mica is into telling us stories. He makes up some, and others he tells from movies. He knows the story of Spiderman. He told me the story in the car ride home last night. Always at the beginning he says, "Once upon a time" and at the end he concludes the story somehow. When Travis was watching Spiderman, Mica said, "I love her"!; he was referring to Kirsten Dunst. He's done the same thing with Daisy, from The Dukes of Hazard. Funny kid.

Delirious in the Crib

• Travis went to go get Isaak in the middle of the night; he was sitting up with his legs between the bars of his crib. Crazy baby!

Isaak in Photoshop

• Travis' Uncle Chris, Isaak's Great Uncle made this Photoshop image of Isaak. It looks very interesting!

To Eat or Not to Eat

• Isaak has been a pig this weekend. He's hungry all the time lately. Probably he's making up for his little appetite from last week (from teething). That second tooth finally popped all the way through. He woke up 4 times last night wanting to eat. Stinker!

• Then there's Mica who won't eat anything lately.

• They eat when they grow.
