Just Fishin'

I'm lost in her there holdin' that pink rod and reel.
She's doing almost everything but sittin' still.
Talkin' bout her ballet shoes and trainin' wheels,
and her kittens. And she thinks we're just fishin'.

I say Daddy loves you baby one more time,
she say's I know, I think I got a bite.
An all this laughin', cryin', smilin', dyin' here inside
is what I call livin'

(Chours)
An she thinks we're just fishin' on the river side,
throwin' back what we could fry,
drownin' worms an killin' time,
nothin' to ambitious
she ain't even thinkin' bout what's really goin' on right now
but I guarantee this memories a big'in
and she thinks we're just fishin'

She's already pretty, like her momma is
Gonna drive the boy's all crazy
giver her daddy fits
and I better do this every chance I get
'cause time is tickin'
(Chours)
An she thinks we're just fishin' on the river side,
throwin' back what we could fry,
drownin' worms an killin' time,
nothin' to ambitious
she ain't even thinkin' bout what's really goin' on right now
but I guarantee this memories a big'in
and she thinks we're just fishin'

She ain't even thinkin' bout what's really goin' on right now
but I guarantee this memories a big'in
and she thinks we're just fishin'
Yeah, aww she thinks we're just fishin'
We ain't only fishin'
This ain't about Fishin'

2 Months!

Tyson turned 2 months old on the 9th!  We celebrated by going to the doctors and getting shots.  Yay!  I was dreading it because both kids at the doctors seemed like it would be a nightmare.  Sadie hadn't had a nap (she refused) and Tyson hadn't eaten for a while.  I was prepared for the worst.  I think I've gotten the hang of taking care of both of them here at home.  But taking them out in public is another story!  I guess I'm getting better at it.  It still takes me an hour to get out the door but we didn't have any major problems at the clinic.  I tried not to make eye contact with all the people staring at me in the waiting room.  Sadie was running around like crazy but at least she wasn't crying!  After we went over to Tutti Melon (best treat EVER!) and shared a frozen yogurt.  It was fun to have that time together.  Plus Tutti Melon is heavenly so it was a good day.  Tyson is in the 83 percentile for weight and the 60th for height.  He weighed 12 lbs 11 oz and was 22 3/4 inches long.  Here are some things about our little Ty Ty:

*His best friend is the ceiling fan.  It makes a great baby sitter!  Just lay him underneath and he'll coo and laugh at it for hours.

*He is SUPER happy.  He smiles at me all day long.  I LOVE it!

*He still smells like sulfur for some reason.  I can't figure it out.

*He is getting better at getting his thumb in his mouth.  It's still pretty funny watching him try because he usually ends up punching himself in the face instead.  It's just a lot slower and more controlled.

*He was nicknamed by the gym ladies "butterball" we call him "butters"

*He started rolling over this past month

*His sister likes to poke him and say "boop boop boop"

*He still loves the bath.  He recently started splashing.

*He is sleeping 7-8 hours a night

*He likes to squeeze my finger while I feed him

*He can hold his head up!

We love our little Ty Ty so much!  Happy 2 month birthday Tyson!

While I'm at it I might as well update you on our little Sadie bug:

  She is so fun!  She's like our own personal tornado.  She can destroy a clean house within a half hour.  Honestly!  I've seen it happen.  If she's in one of her moods it only takes her a few minutes.  I think she gets that skill from her Daddy :) 

*She talks a lot!  She can speak in whole sentences, recognize her letters, sing songs, repeat EVERYTHING she hears (I said "Oh Crap!" the other day not realizing she was there and then I hear her cute little voice echo back "Oh Crap. Oh crap. Oh crap...)

*She says and does things at times that I've never said to her or taught her then I realize its usually stuff she's picked up from other kids or TV.  For example, we were at Walmart the other day and we were walking past the Angry Birds display.  A boy near us got all excited and was like "Look Mom!  Angry Birds!"  Later while we were in line there were some stuffed Angry Birds toys and I heard her say "Mom!  Angry Birds!"  So I let her hold one and she shoved it into Ty's face and said, "Angry Birds Ty!  Cheep Cheep TY!  Cheep Cheep!"  She's like a little sponge. 

*She's getting pretty good at recognizing her colors and counting.  I amazed at how smart she is!

*She is the worlds biggest klutz. 

*She loves to give kisses

*She is half way potty trained.  Some days she'll use the potty all day and others she wants nothing to do with it.  Oh well! 

We love you Bug!

Sadieisms Continued

After going to the bathroom she flushed the toilet and then looked at me very seriously and asked "Where poop go?"  I said "To the ocean" (I know, I know, its all I could think of on the spot) She stared into my eyes for a few seconds and then slapped me across the face.  It actually hurt pretty bad!

She has a "hurtie" on her knee, she wanted me to kiss it for the 10,000th time but I was distracted so I didn't get to it right away.  I could hear her sweet little voice saying "owie, hurtie, kiss it" but it just wasn't registering.  Finally I guess she got sick of me ignoring her because suddenly she grabbed my face and shoved it down towards her knee and growled "kiss IT!!!"

This morning she started dancing with the vacuum and said "Shake your whole body!" then she gave it a big hug, looked at it and said "High five vacuum!" and gave it a high five.  I think its time to get her some more friends!

Sadieisms

I think its about time I start documenting all the funny things that Sadie says.  I've seen a few people do this on their blogs and I think it's a great way to record these memories.  I used to journal almost every night but ever since Tyson got here I've been way too tired. 

*I was laying on the floor and part of my stomach was showing.
Sadie: Oh TUMMY! (and lifts my shirt up to see the whole "tummy")
She stares at it for a minute and then says: Weird. (pulls my shirt down and walks away)

*I was doing dishes when Sadie walks in, tugs on my pants and says:  Want Superman undies Mommy!

*Scene:  Sadie standing in the front room with no shirt on and her belly sticking out.  She's standing over the vent so her hair is blowing straight up in the air and she's looking out the window.  I hear the garbage men pull up and then she gets a mean look on her face and goes: ah! No!,  Mom garbage!  NO NO NO!

Thats only a few because I have to go make dinner.  More to come!

Mighty Huntress

This dog celebrated her 1st birthday on July 29th.  She's been a pretty good dog for us.  She and I have a love/hate relationship.  I love to hate her (insert fake laugh here).  I just barely started liking her because she is finally starting to pull her weight.  She is extremely useful when it comes to entertaining kids, catching flies, and cuddling.  She also takes it upon herself to dig holes in the yard, fart in your face, and shed all over.  She doesn't bark but she does stop in front of you while walking down stairs.  Despite all the annoying things about her she really is a good dog.  Sadie jumps on her face and tries to ride her like a horse and she doesn't even growl at her.  I don't think there are very many dogs out there with her patience.  Happy Birthday Missy!

TIME OUT!

Sadie spent most of today in this corner.  She was a naughty little girl today!  Missy tried to play with her while she was in the corner.  I could here her talking to Missy saying "No Missy, (I'm) in time out"

1 month BABY!

I can't believe that one whole month has already gone by since Tyson joined our little family.  Life with two kids has been crazy but I haven't felt the full force of it yet because my parents are still here helping us out.  Thank goodness for them!  Between having a new baby AND moving into a new house it has been a crazy month.  I don't think I would have made it through without my parents assistance.  I have mixed feelings about them leaving (Monday).  I'm sad because it has been awesome having them around not only because they help me out so much but also because its so fun seeing them with Sadie.  She loves her Grandma and Grandpa (Tama & Tampa).  There will be a very sad girl here on Tuesday morning when she wakes up and realizes that they are gone.  Even now when they go over to the new house to paint she stares out the window and says "Where Tampa go?" "Tampa WAIT" "Tampa WAIT!!"  But as nice as it is to have them here it'll be good for life to have some kind of routine again.  To be able to feed the baby in the front room without worrying about my Dad seeing something that no dad should ever see.  Also it feels like forever since I've seen any of my friends.  Sadie is suffering from the lack of socialization.  She never had a problem in nursery before but now she cries the whole time.  So it'll be nice for both of us to have play dates again.  I think my parents are ready to go home too.  They have been sleeping on an air mattress for a month!  Anyways here are some things about my little guy at 1 month:

-He loves his sleep, I usually only have to get up with him twice during the night and he normally goes right back to sleep after he eats.  Every now and then we'll have a bad night but I consider myself VERY lucky to be getting the sleep that I'm getting.
-His sneezes are HUGE.  I hope to be able to record one someday because they are so cute.  I jump so high when he sneezes because it scares me that something so loud can come out of someone so little.
-His acne cleared up over night.  Last night he went to bed with a face full of baby zits and today he woke up with nice clear cheeks
-He's plumping up nicely.  He doesn't have half as many rolls as Sadie did but he is becoming nice and chunky.
-Sadly his hair is lightening up.  I was hoping it would stay dark but I'm thinking he'll probably go blonde like Sadie.  Too bad!
-He loves his head rubbed.  You touch his head and instantly his eyes roll back in his head.
-He loves the bath
-He loves tummy time.  Unlike his sister who used to cry whenever we put her on her stomach.  He could stay on his stomach all day long.
-He grunts like a goat
-His sister adores him.  If it even seems like he's getting sad she runs and grabs him a binky.  When we drive in the car she looks over at him and says "Oh Ty" and giggles.  She likes to tickle him and give him lots of kisses.  She has made up several songs to cheer him up.  One says "Tyson Tyson sad"  and of course "Tyson Tyson happy"

With Sadie I tried to take a picture everyday to document her first year.  I've been debating whether to do this with him.  Any thoughts?
