Growing up

Nevin got handed down Corin's bed this weekend. Corin upgraded to a loft and his old twin was free. Mattress was ordered and arrived today.

Between that and being day time potty trained, it appears our baby days are at an end. 

Car modifications

On Saturday we went for a drive (to get some breastfeeding pictures taken...can't wait to see them). You had just gotten Bumblebee for your birthday and you were playing with him.

Next thing I know, you tell me to get my gun out to shoot the zombies on the side of the road. I had to go through several iterations. Eventually, I had a noise for the gun coming out, the gun shooting, the gun getting put away that met your exacting specifications.

I'm pretty sure there are no zombies left on the side of I-87 between here and exit 8.

The only odd thing...where did you learn about zombies?

Naps on mommy

I treasure these naps. You don't nap much these days. When you do, it's usually in the car. The days when you fall asleep on me are precious. I can no longer move you to the crib without you waking so I choose to sit and enjoy it. Right now, that means watching Netflix or working on my BreastfeedingUSA lessons.

You'll be three next week. I cannot believe you are so big. Yet your little fists still ball up on my chest when we snuggle...still little.

I love you. You are obsessed with telling people that you love them. I love to hear it. I love to reply. I love you, Nevin.

Flipped

After 2.5 hours in the car, your legs were hurting...so we flipped your car seat to forward facing for the drive home. I guess you really are getting bigger...

Quotable

I want fluffy stuff.

As he climbs up on to the counter... You want lotion?

No! I want fluffy stuff on my elbow pits (pointing at his arm pits). 

You want deodorant. Got it.

Firsts

We went to the dentist for the first time today. You let them clean your teeth! You picked chocolate toothpaste for brushing, of course. 

I'm impressed at how wide you opened your mouth! You loved moving your tongue around to feel everything, too. 

She said we should definitely floss the ones that touch. 

Christmas

We went to Red Robin yesterday. They had garlands and lights up around the restaurant. Chrys and Nevin were talking about how it was decorated for Christmas. Chrys asked where the tree was. Nevin said there was no tree. Chrys asked him what it needed to look like Christmas. Nevin said, "Bells." "Where are the bells?" "In my mouf... Jingle bells, jingle bells..."
