The Nelson Family: Look at what we've been up to!

Look at what we've been up to!

Since our last post many things have happened in our family. Deagan sprouted his first tooth, and he is currently in the process of getting 3 more in, at the same time. As a result of this wonderful milestone we have had restless nights and lots of tears, but overall lots of fun! Deagan's new favorite thing to do is making a barking noise. I am not quite sure how to describe it in any other way but a bark that is really high pitch. It is very lovely. He is becoming quite the explorer, and as a result has suffered a few battle scars; a split lip, and a scrape on his chin to name a few. We were so excited for him to reach this age, but now I am so nervous that he is going to hurt himself! It is a very fun age overall!

Summer is officially here, but now I am beginning to wonder if Spring was ever really here. It seems like there wasn't much of a transition between snow and hot weather, but we are grateful for it regardless. Since it did snow only a couple of weeks ago, Deagan got to wear his hoodie in June. I think he looks absolutely adorable in it!

Because it has been so hot out lately, Deagan has not been wearing too many clothes. If he could have it his way he would only wear a diaper. Either way, he seems to be handling the heat up to this point.

As I mentioned before, he is very interested in everything around him. He loves to crawl around our apartment and get into anything and everything that he can reach. His new favorite toy to play with is our toilet plunger and toilet brush. This makes mom very happy as I am sure you can guess.

I don't think there was a single week were Q didn't have at least one yellowing bruise on his head somewhere (and just yesterday he fell and bit all the way through his lip!!!)Call us when you are in town; June 24, 2008 at 8:34 AM

Kids do and say the darndest things...

I don't want to forget all the cute things that my children have said or will say, so check back often to see what the Nelson family has to say!

Kayden: Do I still have my eyeballs or are they still at Grandma and Grandpa's house?

Me: I never knew they were there...

January 8, 2011

I was tired this afternoon, and I needed to nurse Kayden. I felt too tired to go pick up Kayden from where he was, so jokingly I asked Deagan if he would go change Kayden's diaper, nurse him, and then put him down for a nap.

He took it seriously, and said, "I have little boobies mommy! But do I have milk?"

Me: "No you don't have milk. I was just kidding."

Deagan: "But do I have water in my boobies?"

Needless to say, he did not follow through with what I said:)

*We went to Olive Garden for dinner tonight, and after the waitress brought us our breadsticks my son yelled after her, "Thank you lady!"

*My oldest loves to bring toys with him to bed. Tonight he had a couple of toy dinosaurs that he got for Christmas. The rule we have of bringing toys in bed is that the toys can't play, they have to sleep too. Tonight, he was having a hard time just letting his toys sleep, so I kept asking him to stop playing with the dinosaurs so he could go to sleep. He was getting really frustrated at me because of this and towards the end he started saying, "I am very mad at you!" It was so hard for me not to laugh at that.

He has done this for a while now, but whenever we are in the car he will ask, "Where are we going?" in a annoyed kind of voice. Later on he will ask really sadly, "Where did my house go?"

My oldest woke up really early this morning, and was whiny and impossible to please. At this point, I am dreading the day ahead and it is only 7 a.m. My oldest was sitting on his play table coloring and playing with his paint box (that was empty). He dropped the paint box, and began whining for me to pick it up. The conversation went something like this:

D: "Pick it up Mommy!"

Me: "It is right by you, you pick it up."

**Pause from Deagan**

D: "Michelle! Pick it up!"

I couldn't help but smile when he called me Michelle. Maybe this day will be better then I am expecting.

I think that wanting your privacy while going potty is a natural instinct that we are all born with and that develops over time. D is beginning to show signs that this privacy is a very important time when going to the bathroom. This afternoon I was making dinner and came in to the living room to check on him. As I walked into the room, he held out his hand and yelled, "No Mom! Go back!" I can always tell when he is done by him allowing me to stay in the same room with him.

D wants me to always watch what he is doing regardless of what it is. His new favorite thing to say is, "WATCH MOM!" over and over.

July 11, 2009

I was taking a bath, and locked D in the bathroom with me while I did so so I could keep an eye on him. During this process, D was very interested in his old nursing buddies (if you get my drift) and kept saying "Yummy!" "Yummy?" I asked him. "What did it taste like?" "HOT DOGS!" He replied!

D is a big help around the house. He puts things away when I ask him to, sometimes. He helps me fold the laundry, by that I mean he lays in the laundry. He is just a great help. One of his new things is to throw away his diapers after I am done changing him. After a diaper change this afternoon, he proceeded to pick up the diaper and head to the trash. His normal trash that he uses was out of reach, so I told him to go into the bathroom right off of the kitchen and to put the diaper in the trash right next to the toilet. I think all he heard from that was, "Put it in the....toilet." because that is where he put it. Like I said, very helpful! :)
