Mamamamama

Coleman's saying mamamama all the time now. Of course he doesn't know that it's me but it's still such music to my ears. :) He is getting all over the room now- some crawling but mainly by rolling still. He'll do the crawl thing and then give up and roll- it seems to be faster for him. haha
Shelby wasn't feeling well yesterday or this morning. She says that something is hurting in her mouth (she says it's her tongue but I'm not sure...) When she tries to eat or take a drink she says, "Owww mommy!" and throws the food/drink. I can't wait to go pick her up from school and see how she is. I'm thinking it's possibly her last molars coming in. I know she wasn't running a fever and didn't really seem sick in any other way so I think the teething thing makes sense. We'll see.

Tuesday morning blab

Shelby said several funny things yesterday and I can only remember one of them. It was when I was lying down in her bed with her, because she wanted me to cuddle her. So we were laying there and I had my arms wrapped all around her and she was pulled tight to me, then after about a minute she started getting all restless and rolling over. She said, "SCUSE ME MOMMY" in the sweetest little voice, like I was in her way by being in her bed. It was pretty funny- maybe ya had to be there??? :) haha

A couple videos from this past weekend. The first one is of bossy Shelby and daddy "dancing." Only they don't really get to the dancing part much b/c Shelby is making sure Daddy is dancing with one (and only one) stuffed animal. This is her rule for being on the dance floor. She keeps saying "one at a time daddy!" ha:



This next one is of regular ol dinnertime at the Peck's house. It gives a hint at how Shelby loves demanding the attention, even from brother. Brother had his first spaghetti this night. Exciting times ;)

This is hilarious: Mom overture

Shelby the heartbreaker

Well, I think a little boy in Shelby's class has a major crush on her. :) He is so excited when she gets there and will not leave her alone- "Selby! Selby!" He tries to play with her immediately but of course, being the guy magnet that she is, she just brushes him off and does her own thang. She knows she's got to play hard to get to keep the boys knockin'. Haha. He really does love her- it's so cute. This morning Ms. Yolanda was hanging pictures of the kids and he was finding Shelby in all the pictures and pointing her out to me, so excited. He was giggling that elated giggle and was so glad she was there. Her teachers have told me that he asks about her before we get there, too. The other day when I walked in to pick her up she was laying in a doll bed with him, all covered up reading books. Is that allowed when you're 2??? ;)

Weekend: Over :(

We had a wonderful weekend! Jeff was off both days, Gram and Matthew came to visit, the kids spent the night with Nonnie & Poppy Saturday night while we went to a wedding, and the yesterday was an awesome chill family day, complete with football and grocery shopping. Shelby was well-behaved all weekend. Coleman was a happy boy as usual. Yesterday and last night he was being a little extra clingy and didn't seem like he felt great so I took his temp and it was 100.9. I gave him some motrin and he slept most of the night. When he woke up this morning he was fussy and threw up right after I picked him up. It was really mucousy- I think he's just got some sinus and allergies and drainage that was upsetting his tummy. Anyway, he is still pretty fussy this morning so Daddy is staying home with him. He needed to use a sick day, anyway. I'm glad that Daddy will be loving on our sick little baby all day instead of sending him to daycare. I feel well-rested enough, but I wish I was home with them. I'm trying to do the responsible thing and stay here, saving my sick days for another time when we might need them and Jeff can't take off.

Jeff's sleepwalking

If I actually wrote all his incidents down, I could totally have a bestseller...of course I'm not sure they're as good without me there acting out his frantic antics. :) Here's last night's:
Jeff: (Scrambling up out of bed) “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my GOSH!!”

Meg: “What?”

Jeff: (walking over to the bookshelf) “Look at this! Oh my gosh!”

Meg: “Wake up- everything’s fine.”

Jeff: (Adamantly pointing at bookshelf) “Look! Look at this!”

Meg: “I don’t care, go back to sleep.”

Jeff: “Oh, you’re gonna care when you see this!”

Meg: (Turns light on.)

Jeff: (Looks at normal unscary bookshelf) “Oh.” (Gets back in bed) "Sorry."

THE END :)

Everyday stuff

Ha! I just sat down at the computer to pump, and Shelby is lying in my bed next to the desk and she sat up and said, "Come on milky! Come on milky." I swear I have never said that so where does she come up with these things?
In the car on Saturday I commented to Jeff "My boob hurts" and she started singing in Wonder Pets tune, "Mommy's boobies hurt. You need to puuuuuump!" She's so silly.
Coleman wants to crawl so bad he can taste it. He of course gets up on all fours and rocks, but now he's actually moving but he only ends up going backwards. And when he's trying really hard he'll lift up his booty in the air so just his feet and his hands are on the ground and he's in an upside-down V. Funny little man, but he's trying so hard. No more teeth yet but I can't wait for them to come in- his poor little mouth hurts him.

A few more pictures and a video

Awww look at Daddy and his girl!

Earrings, 2 tiaras, 2 necklaces, and 3 bracelets. Beauty has no boundaries.

Brother's first biter biscuit!

Brings to mind Shelby's:


Beep beep!! Let's go for a ride.

And Cole's favorite toys (pay close attention to what Shelby says. haha)

Pictures

Although there's a link here on the left to all the pictures we share, it's good to see pictures in the blog too. Here are some of my favorites from the photo shoot at Portrait Innovations last Saturday:
Shelby LOVES doggies, even ones that aren't Bobby:

Here's the same pose we got of Shelby at this age. Such a big cute boy!

What a heartbreaker! He's mommy's boy forever!

And, a Halloween preview. I had to "create" this pic because we couldn't get one of them both looking at the camera. I cropped Coleman in - it works!

Our walk to school

This morning Shelby came to my office with me (we were running late and I wanted to make sure to be here "on time" even if it was with my daughter in tow!) :) As we walked into the office Shelby asked "Where's Drena?" like she always does. Adrena is our department secretary and is the first person you see in our office (if she's here.) As we walked through the hallway where the kitchen stuff is, she said, "You gonna get your coffee mommy?" Then she headed straight for my office. After Shelby ate her breakfast cookie and banana, we picked up Bobby and headed out to walk across campus to her school. It was about 8am and bright outside but you could still see the sliver of the moon, which Shelby found like always. She had to convince me that she could indeed see it because I couldn't find it but she was able to point me in the right direction. She said, "It's a tiny little moon. It wants it's mommy and it's daddy and it's sister." Then the big campus bell began ringing and Shelby said, "I can hear the clock tower ringing mommy!" How does she know what all these things are called? She's amazing. :)

An opposite bedtime- haha

Shelby is mad at us for making her go into her own room to sleep tonight. She just opened up her bedroom door and threw both of her Bobbies at us. Then she went back into her room and slammed the door. Then she opened the door and threw her water sippy cup out and slammed the door. Then she came back out, all huffing and puffing, and threw both of her blankies and her teddy bear out at us. Then she returned to her room. Jeff and I were talking and she yelled, "No more talking!!!" What an attitude! Are we dealing with a 2 yr old or a teenager? Is she giving us a foresight into about 12 years from now? If so, I can wait!!! haha
ps- now she just came back out throwing her pillow at me, and went back into her room slamming the door behind her, and she's doing it all with serious diva attitude.
