Stylin'!

My sister-in-law is getting married this weekend, and they got him a tux to wear at the wedding. We decided to try it out this past weekend, and he is a cutite! It comes with a jacket and a vest, but I will post some more pictures after the wedding with him all dressed up.

He was totally spacing while I took these

March is here!

It is crazy how fast time is flying by this semester! On Monday, I registered for my last online classes before graduation. Seeing "0" credits remaining before graduation is a lovely thing indeed! This semester has been intense, but there is light up ahead!

Deagan has a double ear infection which has presented us with one cranky baby, but we are surviving. He also got 8 new teeth! Crazy! He only had 7 for so long, and then all at once they were coming through! I am excited though because he can chew things a lot better with molers now. Besides him being sick and teething, he is a joy to have! He learns new words everyday and makes us laugh everyday. He is now almost 18 months. I guess it is time for a new baby!;)

Greg got accepted to another grad school this past week, American in D.C. It isn't his top choice, but we will probably take a peek while we are there at the end of this month. I think that he is more than ready to start school again!

I am taking a lot of classes about parenting this semester which has really been a blessing. I am learning all these new things that I feel are really helping me as a parent, but there comes those times when I have no idea what to do with Deagan or the situation. I am so worried that I am going to screw him up for life! We are having a struggle with him eating lately. He has been sick, so that probably plays in to it, but he has always been a picky eater. In one of my classes we watched a video where a little girl wouldn't eat and they linked it back to the relationship that she had with her mom. So of course now I am worried about the kind of relationship that Deagan and I have. Any tips on how to get a picky eater to eat?

Sorry for long absence, but I hope you all enjoy the lovely pictures!

Feeding the Ducks

With the weather being as nice as it has been lately, we decided to take it outside to change it up a bit! We had never taken Deagan to feed the ducks yet, and with our time coming to an end in Rexburg we decided that it was time.

Deagan has been really sick lately, so I think that he will have a lot more fun with this after he isn't feeling so crummy. He has been obsessed with birds lately though, so I think that regardless of being sick he had a good time!

I was a little freaked out because those birds are not afraid of humans one bit! They came right up to us, and I had this horrible image of them attacking Deagan. Deagan must have been imaging something much more pleasant because he wanted to touch them.

A little hesitant to approach the birds at first. It is always nice to have dad's hand to hold when scared.

Mesmerized by the birds

These birds are so brave!

A little smile to show the excitement!

Wearing Mommy's Shirt

I was doing Laundry the other day, and Deagan decided to help by putting on one of my shirts. It is better to do that so it doesn't get wrinkled I guess!

Trying to figure out how to get it off.

Just having fun!

What's down there?

When wearing an adult shirt one must act like an adult.

Deagan the ghost!

Back Pack

In preparation for our trip out east at the end of this month, we bought a baby back pack carrier, or whatever you call it. We love it! We thought this would be nice to have as we are trying to get around the airport, sight seeing, and what not. It was really nice the other day, so we decided to test it out. I think that it passed the test for Deagan too!

Mommy's turn

Taking a break on campus

Daddy's turn!

Cute PJ's

Greg dressed him. The End.

Snow Boots

He loves to play in the shoe rack that we have in our living room, and he decided that these would be a good fit for him.

Pretty cute!

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.

January 4, 2009

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! :)
