Helmet Update

Sunday, February 28, 2010
One week down with the helmet. Brandon took to it like Nicky to cupcakes. Who knew? His head has already started changing, and in one week, it has grown 1 millimeter. His cheek is getting fuller, and becoming more symmetrical. The back of his head is rounding out and the flat spot is not as noticeable. He seems not to notice it and sleeps pretty good. Nicky hasn't really noticed and we have successfully kept it out of Zeus' mouth. Here are some pictures from the first week. I will be posting his helmet pictures here


I had to...

Mom, this is so embarrassing.
 
Take these off immediately.
 
Dad, you coming to help!?

(both boys 7 months old)
(both boys not fans....)
Dan is not speaking to me
Nicholas and Brandon may never speak to me again either....

I hate Flickr, but I 've been uploading my pictures to Flickr since 2007. All 18,000 pictures. So I use it. and upload more pictures.
Other than that, I hate the set up, the navigation, how you can't quickly sift through pictures, and the user interface is annoying. I'm thinking of moving to smugmug.

However, I do think it is funny and quite interesting, that they show you your most viewed picture of the day.

and Ta-da! This awesome amateur picture of an octopus under water in Tahiti is my most viewed picture of the day.
Even I have to admit, it is a really cool octopus, but why is it the Photo highlight of my day? Dan thinks its Octopus Awareness day...what do you think?

UPDATE: hahaha yesterday's picture was this. Now that's more like it!

Poor little sick baby

Nicky is sick. He has been throwing up since 4 pm yesterday. Nothing worse than watching your little baby throw up and cry, not understanding what's happening to him. I want to hold him and take away the hurt and pain when I wash away his tears. But all he wants is Daddy. Daddy gives him mamos and ice cream and watches "ernie and bert" with him. Mommy went to Bunco.

He spent the night with us and I stayed up and watched him sleep. He is so peaceful. He is so innocent and dreamy. I could spent hours staring at him.

Love you as high as the moon. Even if i'm not Daddy.
xo Mommy

All Nicky, all the time.

 Nicky shows off some new skills: Please and Thank you and now you all know how much he LOVES dried cherries. "Go Shauna" as I have mentioned before, has become the new Abeling household motto, and fist bumps are catching on. Apparently snow is not cold (can you see it falling?? in Austin!), and my son never wears pants, as you can see...

Ok Back to my Beautiful Boys: A couple updates

Monday, February 22, 2010
Brandon has 2 more teeth, making the tally 4. He is crawling, and I have yet to get it on video.  He is doing extremely well with the helmet, and all the cute stickers I bought DON'T STICK. Dan put some John Deere tractor stickers on the helmet, but I took them off. I'm not really a dirt and tractor girl. not at all. He basically sleeps through the night and drinks from a sippy cup. He eats 3 meals a day and just started eating finger foods like Gerber puffs and yogurt meltaways.and hes started to make sounds like baba, gaga, dada, and yep. Yes, "yep"

Nicky "fist bumps", uses the words "get it" profusely, and when he dances, he  can "raise the roof" and "push it out". He randomly shouts "Go Shauna" in stores, and when we pull up to the coffee shop he asks (shouts) for a "orange star" cookie. (how the hell he knows that, no clue. he is so intuitive) He counts to 10 and can say ABCD. He knows all his colors (red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black, brown) by name and identification. He can sing "eieio". He puts chapstick on.

they both are boys and have stolen my heart

If I had a girl...

 I love my boys. I do. I adore them. They are my whole world and they make every second worth every minute. Nickys silly laugh. Brandons smiling face. I. love. them. They are all mine, and no MOM you can't have them.
But I want a girl. I want a girl soooooooo bad. To curl her hair. To hold my hand. To take to ballet class. To pick out prom dresses. To plan her wedding. 
I mean, help plan, er pay for the wedding. whatever. I also want to dress her in all the completely adorable girly things I see every day. 

If I had a girl....
and because Mommy needs something adorably cute too...
