Addie Growing

John — Thu, 19 May 2005 17:04:12 +0000

Addie’s been sick for the past week which is tough. She’s been coughing a lot and has a lot of mucous and it causes her to stop breathing. She turns purple because she hasn’t breathed for so long probably once a day. It’s pretty scary.

However, on a positive note, she’s really changing. She now responds to noises. If you call her name (not that she knows her name) she’ll turn her head and look at you. She fixates on stuff and just stares. The other day on a walk she was laying down in the stroller and the entire time she was straining her head back and looking upwards to try to see me pushing the stroller behind her. It was pretty cool.

She stopped pooping as much and doesn’t poop nearly as often as she used to when you take her diaper off. In fact, I don’t think she’s pooped when we took her diaper off in about 2 weeks.

Austin and “Todd does”

Austin has this thing where he likes to do what other people do, and then he says “So and So does” after he does it. Normally he does these things out of the blue and we have to pay attention to what he’s doing to see really where and why he picked it up.

For example, one day he just started making spitting sounds and then he said “Todd does.” I didn’t know what he was doing until he finally said “beat box, Todd does” and he proceeded to make his beat box noises like Todd does.

Todd often throws food up in the air and catches it in his mouth so Austin pretends to throw the food up and very quickly puts it in his mouth and says “Todd does”.

Steve on Blues Clues has an episode where he dances by kicking one of his feet and pointing his thumb like he’s hitch hiking. Austin loves to do this “dance” and say “Steve does.”

Austin gets his booger

Tonight Austin was sitting with us and he was digging away trying to pick a
booger. We tries to get him to stop but he didn’t want to so Kim looked
down and saw that he had a big booger in his nose. She reached down and
picked it quickly and he got all mad at her. He said that he wanted to
pick the booger and was all upset about it.

Kim gave him the booger and he immediatly wiped it on the floor.

This experience made me realize that I’m missing out on lots of
opportunities to record things my kids do so I’m creating a Baby Journal
category for my blog.

I think that a lot of people don’t write a lot about when their kids were
young and they regret it when they get older. I have the perfect
opportunity to be able to record these things because of my palm and my
blog so I’m going to take advantage of it.
