An Update, Finally.

Melvi, my dad, sassed me for not posting, ever, so here I go.

As for me, not much new, except my sexy body. It resembles the Grinch these days.

Okay, those of you that hate posts on kids, stop reading now. It's all I have to possibly talk about though.

Oakley turned 2!

We're going to do a tag on him to so we can maybe see some progression in his little life.

20 months ago he:

1. was 4 months old and looked like a lizard/bird, but I thought he was adorable.
2. was rolling over.

3. enjoyed eating his toes.

10 months ago he:

1. was growing his beard for Halloween.

2. was walking pretty steadily on his own.

3. was still having serious issues with eating textured food. He gagged on anything with the slightest lump and didn't have enough teeth to really chew anything.

5 months ago he:

1. was 19 months old was LOVING nursery; still does thank goodness.

2. learned about time out.

3. put together his first sentence, "Mommy, I nunny (funny), huh?" What?

3 months ago he:

1. lived in time out. (I put the lock on the outside of the door. Arrest me.)

1 month ago he:

1. was almost two and being a sweetie pie.

2. went on lots of bike rides.

3. went camping for the first time.

4. taught himself to swim, kindof. He's a bit stubborn and doesn't want any help. I can't wait for the teenage years.

5. got his 1 year molars.

6. found a "drinking fountain" (air conditioning run-off hose) at grandma's and uses it all the time. Is there a vaccine for meningitis?

So far this month he:

1. turned 2.

2. attempted potty training.

3. has repeated every single word I've said.

4. rode his new bike 1000 miles.

yesterday he:

1. hung out with Dad all day while I went to Tucson for my cousin's shower.

2. bought me this awesome computer with dad as a peace offering for wrecking my laptop.

(yeah, have no idea how to use it so I'd love advise.)

today he:

1. was good in church. Hallelujah!

2. learned about family prayer in nursery and actually colored his picture instead of just being the crayon Nazi.

3. took a nap.

4. went to Grandpa and Grandma's and played with Bruce.

tomorrow he:

1. will go to Grandma's again and play with Bruce and go swimming.

2. probably won't eat, because he's anorexic.

in the next year he:

1. will get potty-trained, if we're lucky.

2. will maybe get some more teeth and maybe actually swallow food instead of chewing and spitting it all out.

3. will become a brother and like it. :)

in 3 years he:

1. will be 5 and maybe starting kindergarten, maybe not though, we might wait a year.

2. will be potty trained, no "if we're lucky", if not he'll be one of those weird kids who wears tucked in sweats with light-up Sponge Bob teva's.

in 5 years he:

1. will be 7 and probably be missing most of his teeth and incredibly awesome looking.

2. might be into sports.

3. will not want me planning his life.
