Happy Birthday Baby!

My big boy turns two years old today at 10:35!

Thank you Jackson for two wonderful years filled with the priviledge of being your Mommy.

I love you!

Something learned

When your child decides to decorate your newly painted walls with a red crayon it's time to attack with the all powerful BAKING SODA!

Nothing removes red crayon like baking soda and a toothbrush. Goodbye little boy art, hello clean walls!

Eggs

I learned something interesting today. My youngest love, Jacob is allergic to eggs. Who would've thought? He had eggs with Jackson this morning and was just fine and about a half an hour later turned a lovely shade of purple with splotches and started breathing really fast.

I have to say, I kept my cool. Picked him up and calmly called the pediatrician asked to speak with the advice nurse immediately. I was instructed to give him 1/2 tsp of Benedryl and to keep an eye on him. A half an hour later the kid is looking good, breathing is better and he's bouncing up and down in his excersaucer. So, lesson learned: ALWAYS have children's benadryl on hand.

Breakfast Boys

Jacob has been kinda anti bottle, anti-pre made baby food so I decided this morning to be a Mommy that goes with the flow and made him exactly what I made for Jackson for breakfast. Granted, Jacobs was cut into smaller pieces.

This morning the boys had cheesy eggs, pears and toast. Jackson did pretty well, ate most of his toast and of course, all of his pears but it was Jacob who surprised me the most. That kid did some damage to his plate. I mean, he really ate! When he finished his own plate he tackled Jackson's plate to boot! Crazy kid, I guess he thinks he's ready for solids. He chewed everything really well and didn't have any reactions to the egss. He's just like Jackson, eager to get started on "people food".
