snot

when you're about to become a parent, no one tells you about colds...and all of the snot that comes with them. snot. snot. snot. everywhere. also, no one tells you how proud you are when your toddler can actually "blow" the snot on command. i'm so happy that jameson can get some relief from the colony of boogers in his nose when i ask him to blow as i hold at least 3 layers of tissue on his nose. man...that noise nearly gags me everytime. and, i'm not one of those wussie mommies who can't handle the gross things.

natalia on the other hand...her just drips and runs. it's really fun when she rubs her nose and mashes the snot into her ears, clothes, hair - as well as mine.

fun, i tell you. fun.

ooooops!

whoops, i guess it's been awhile! so much for keeping regular posts! :)

natalia will now be 11 months on monday! eek. she thinks she's hot stuff when she climbs the stairs. and, she's saying "kitty"!!! she also nods her head, "yes"...although it looks more like she's trying to implant her chin into her chest. cute, though...and she's proud of herself. she's still a drama queen - that's not to be forgotten. but, she's becoming one with quite the personality.

jameson is having what seems to be a vocabulary/speech breakthrough - finally. he's verbalizing more and finally putting words together for sentences. albeit, 2-3 word ones. his lastest obsession is mickey mouse - of all things. mickey mouse clubhouse from playhouse disney to be exact. oh, the joys of cable tv. he asks for "mim-mee" each morning...and a few times during the day. i bought a dvd - paid $20 for it - far too much, but sooooooooooooo worth it! :)
