Update to "Things my sweet little guy likes to put in his mouth"!

Last week was Blake's follow up appointment at the ENT.  While there, I just happened to pull his pacifier out of his mouth before the appointment and noticed something black inside his mouth.  After much fishing around...I pulled out a screw.  A SCREW!  I figured it out later it was from my sunglasses that he got a hold of and just "pocketed" the screw in his lip.  (Those sunglasses have since been trashed!)

Then, on Friday he had a really rough night.  He was crying/moaning on and off every hour.  Finally around 1:30am I went in just to see if I could rock him and help to settle him down (I thought he was just teething).  I grabbed the Orajel to put on his gums hoping that would make him feel better.  While I was putting in on I felt a sharp poke on my finger.  It was pitch black in his room and I ended up turning the light on to see what the heck that was.  And low and behold...a STAPLE.  We still have no idea where he got that from but I guess he decided to just "pocket" that in his lip that night too.

This kid is definitely keeping us on our toes!!!!

The Queen

A couple nights ago we were all in Abby's room getting her dressed for bed after baths.  Blake walked over and got her little seat from the corner of her room and brought it to her.  She sat down and he got the brush out for her hair!!  I think he's seen us do the routine enough that he knows what comes next. :)

Now we just need to start teaching him how to load the dishwasher and washing machine.

Crazy kids!

These kids love this tunnel and love playing together!  Blake is just at the age where he's starting to be able to keep up with Abby.  I sure hope they will always be best friends!
