The result of our egg coloring experience...

adult supervision required
We had 4 adults to 1 child and my child ended up having one blue leg, one blue hand (He looked like Chevy Chase from the movie Vegas Vacation) and got spend about a half hour pantless while his dried. Marcus ended up with one blue shoe, sock, and a slightly darker shade of blue jeans on one leg. My MIL ended up with a green strip in her hair and myself ended up with a speckled blue foot and one blue pocket on my coral hoodie. The floor has a nice blue spot now too. My FIL was the photographer and then the spot cleaner guy. And all the eggs are colored however they have a few cracks on one end. Ian has yet to pick up on the term gently and he wanted a close up view of the blue cup. Hence everyone having some blue on them. Good news all the blue came off our skin and clothes (we used Shout as soon as the incident took place). The floor not so lucky good thing my in-laws are planning on replacing it this spring/summer.

1. Running/working out/sweating- the whole thing, I love it
2. coupon clipping-still getting the hang of it
3. Marshalls/TJ Maxx-Umm...I like deals
4. dislike paying full price for clothing/accessories items (see #3)
5. wearing lots of black, not in a goth kinda way but in a black makes me look skinny kinda way
6. tanning once a week- yes I know the harm
7. using the same pen until it runs out of ink
8. drinking 80oz of water before I allow myself to have any of other type of liquid
9. been to 28 of the 50 states -I count states that I have consumed food or releived my bladder in
10. consider waking up at 7:15 to sleeping in- seriously thought I would never say that
11. when going down to our basement to do laundry I have to have shoes on my feet, there is no way I am going down there barefoot or with just socks.
12. guilty of vacuuming the area rug anywhere from 2-4x a day when home
13.taking apart the entire couch and washing the cushion covers every 2 weeks and the covers we have over the cushions every week

17. dislike being the last person to wake up-makes me feel like a slacker (see #10)

Please let me introduce....
PICKY PETE!!!
This child is beyond picky he is down right resisted to food aside from grapes, yogurt, peanut butter (depending on the day), cereal bars, bananas (depending on the day), celementines (he likes to suck the juice out), Cheerios, sweet potato fries (had to force feed him those and we got the response back of mmm...), tator tots, pizza and puffs. So thank goodness for v8 fusion juice and I'm back to buying baby food. Yes the same girl who made all his food. I may start making it again we still have yellow squash, mixed veggies and cauliflower in the freezer. So maybe I will take the lonely sweet potato in the veggie basket and turn it into baby food for the boy. I have resorted to buying baby food (easier to donate jarred food than food frozen in ice cube trays)in the hopes that one day soon he will go back to his earlier days in which he ate a larger variety of foods on his own or that he taps into the eater he is at the sitters. Where at the sitters he eats chicken, fish, veggies, meatballs, etc. Seriously frustrating, I did mention it to his Dr and at this time we are considering it a phase. I dislike this phase oh so very much and I do hope he is out of it soon. The above picture is what he looks like after his dinners, I have found he has to be occupied in order for me to sneak the spoon in. I think on most nights I end up holding a lid between my teeth he then balances things such as an extra spoon on the lid as he is busy doing this I take advantage of his mouth opening when the spoon is near he swallows and opens for me. It's quite the exhausting production just for him to eat a half jar.
If anyone has any tips please pass them my way.

15 months
Wowzers can't believe we have a 15 month old living in our house. To say that the past 15 months have flown bye would be an understatement. It's absolutely incredible to witness firsthand all the discoveries that are made from finding their feet to showing you where their head is and communicating with you via grunts and pointing. Love it!!
At 15mos check up the scale was tipped to 25lbs 11oz and measured 31.5in long with a head circumference of 18.5in. Falling in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. One of these days I'll get all fancy with a growth chart or something (don't hold your breath though).
It's that time again for somebragging milestones:

It's that time again for some
- walking: getting more confident everyday, athough walking should come with some caution as the money maker has taken a few hits.
- Shoes: speaking of walking Dude you hate having shoes and socks are those little feet of yours. Which this is TOTAL payback to me and my dislike towards footwear. As soon as I get shoes on those feet you have them kicked OFF. This is exactly what I did to my parents. SORRY:/
- Eating: you are awful and this is total payback for my toddlering eating habits and this is where I apologize deeply to my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles for being uber picky while I was in your care. SORRY!!!
- Napping: still napping great we do naps based on your mood. You nap when you need too and some of your cues to us are: super clingy, clumsy, and impossible to make happy. If you take 2 naps a day then they are usually between an hr and 45min to 2hrs, or 1 nap that is usually about 3hrs.
- Sleeping: you are doing much better in this department as long as I remember to give you gas drops cause baby's got gas and that seems to wake you. I really can't complain about your sleeping habits as my aunt reminded me that I didn't sleep thru the night till I was 18mos old so you are doing much better.
- Teeth: we have 7 with 1 more on its way as well as a molar that we brush everyday 2x a day. You let mommy do it for awhile before you feel the need to take over and do it yourself. You're not super great at it but hey you are at least getting the hang of it. And who doesn't like fruit flavored toothpaste?
- Smarts: you can tell us what a cow, dog, and dinosaur say. You know what noise a car/truck makes. You are able to show us where your head, eyes, belly and feet are. You like playing peek a boo.
- Behavior/Personality: You put on quite the dramatic show of emotions when things don't go your way. You throw your head back, your legs go all noodlely, and you of course voice how you feel about the situation. Aside from the dramatic performance that you put on at least 2x a day you are one funny happy little boy if I do say so myself.

fishing
In the past week I have fished out a football, mitten, bath toys, and 2 flashlights from our toilet. Pretty much anything Ian can get his hands on he prefers to toss it in the ceramic bowl. He hasn't figured out how to flush it yet so that is good. Now you are probably thinking keep the door shut and that won't happen and I will tell you we do keep the door shut. These are all things that have happened while he's been in the bathroom with us. I know for the football, mitten and bath toys (all of which happened under my supervision) they occurred as I was doing my hair so whether I had flipped my head over to get the maximum amount volume in my beaufont or to pray to the hair goddess that my beaufont looks good that day. I don't know, what I do know though is that out of the corner of my eye I see the lid go down and smirk go across my child's face as he waits for my reaction and in a not so serious voice at all I say "really Buddy, really?" which causes laughter to pour out of his mouth (I have yet to nail down the "mom voice'). He is doing no harm to anyone or anything, there is always clean water in our toilet and he is just a boy trying to figure things out and learn his limits (should probably get to work on the mom voice). Now, with that said I do beleive we will be looking into a toilet lock, which will reduce the chances of Ian tossing anything in but also test my bladder and my ability to be smarter than the child safety lock.
