Over protective Mommy...
Well...i meant to write about this awhile ago but it just popped into my head since Will is going for his nine month check up this week. Unfortunately he is not going to be able to see his normal doctor but he is going to see a doctor, that i think suspects i am a over bearing, over protective mommy.
Let's see it all started about 3 months ago when Will was running a fever and he was throwing up a bit. I took him to the pedi and he said that it was a viral infection and to just make sure that Will had plenty of fluids and that I kept an EYE on him. I emphasis EYE b/c whenever something small happens to Will, I suspect it is something more than it is. Any other mommy out there do that?
Will was on the mend and I was giving him a bath when I was shampooing his head, I felt a pretty big lump on the back of his neck and I just about freaked out! Cancer is in my family so I do not take any chances. I called my sister and she said call the pedi right away. So I did and the receptionist got us in that afternoon. Needless to say I am sure she has heard what I told her on the phone a million times.
We got to the pedi and he said these are not tumors...they are lymphnoids. Which are very common when anyone is getting over a virus. He said in fact he has some in his groin area as well. Heaven for bid if I would have found them there too! I would have rushed him to the emergency room.
Meanwhile Lew and the pedi were kind of laughing at me.
I said to them both...it is better to be over protective!
I just wish that Will was able to see his normal pedi all the time. Because he would not have laughed at me except for the fact that you cannot get into see him for 3 months!
Any mom ever experience what i did? would love to hear your thoughts.

Bye Bye Baby...Hello Big Boy
Bet you are wondering what this could be about. Well, remember how I mentioned about that sippy cup? We introduced it to Will at about 6 months or so, when he started sitting his his high chair.
We started with a little water and he quickly got the hang of the Nuby. Lew and I did not realize that Will would get so attached to his sippy cup. But he did. Oh did he.
Not only would he grunt and make weird noises (which are quite hilarious!) until we would give it to him at the dinner table. But whenever he would see it, at Target, or the grocery store he would get so excited, you have seen that excited look.
So then with all the teething happening, I noticed that he started favoring his sippy cup over his bottle. HELLO! I have seen my sisters go through trying to detach their children from the bottle and others...TOMCAT. This was my chance. One morning I put his formula in his cup and he took to it, in fact he was so...excited.
Two weeks later...we are still having success. I did not want to jinx myself by saying anything.
I do feel a little sad that my baby is not drinking out of a bottle anymore but I am glad that he made this transition so easy for his mom. I Could not ask for a more perfect, happy baby...oh, sorry Will, I mean big boy.

Wow...look how much we got!
As you all know I went to Dani's Duds which is a huge warehouse consignment that happens only twice a year. Once in the fall and once in the spring.
Well, I tell you what. My sister and I had great success!
All that you see below I got for $99!
That is about 7 sweaters, 10 shirts, 6 pants, 3 overalls, 2 sets of Pjs, 3 Fleeces, 2 pairs of shoes, 2-6 packs of socks, 3 polo onesies, a xtreme Elmo, 8 books, and a Lamaze octopus. I did even better than I did in the spring. I was so shocked when they said only $99!
Had to throw in this photo of Will Havoc playing in the leaves. He also found them pretty tasty!

Oh YES, Willsey is cute..but he is full of havoc!
This morning as I was awakened by my sweet, adorable 8 month old child at 4am, I thought to myself. Self, do you know when this teething is going to end? The shrilling crying at that time is quite the rude awakening but my first reaction is to comfort Will. I got him back to sleep and then an hour and half later he is in his crib trying to climb his railing.
So I feed him his sippy cup full of yummy smelling formula( i will tell more on the whole sippy cup story this week), thinking he might go back to sleep. Nope!
He has also found his voice and likes to scream at the top of his lungs and then do this fake cough, which is hilarious but not the screaming at 6 in the morning.
So, I put him in his play yard and what does he do? He is chewing on it and sticking his toes through the holes and climbing up it! This baby thinks he has his own little rock wall. He can climb half way up it. If he climbs any higher he would fall over it!
I decide then that I will make some breakfast, thinking this will calm him down, since he is such a big eater. While I am making breakfast he continues to scream and cough.
Then Lew wakes up and says he cannot sleep with all the noise, ah yeah, no joke.
Oh, I forgot to mention the constant rolling around and kicking when trying to put a diaper on this baby...is impossible! I have to bribe him with whatever is around us, so that he is entertained and that I can quickly put the diaper on. Havoc I tell you, complete and utter havoc.
With the teeth, lack of naps b/c of the teeth, the almost heart attacks on my end from him climbing everything, he is now known as Willsey Havoc.
I mean c'mon you can just see the mischief in this face. I feel like I can just read his mind.
