Weekly Update - Chocolate or poop?

Week of May 25, 2012

All about Addie:

Chocolate or poop?  Addie has a new fascination with sticking her hand down the back of her diaper.  I've noticed she does this quite often and I've always thought that one day she's going to end up doing it after filling her pants.  My thoughts became a reality this week when my mom was watching the kids for a few hours.  Addie had walked into Nana's living room holding her hand out to show her something.  My mom noticed the "chocolate" on Addie's hand and wondered how Addison had gotten into chocolate.  As she got closer, my mom began to notice an overwhelming smell.... I'm not sure how common these actions are for a toddler, but I'm hoping she grows out of it soon!! EEW LOL

Chicken Nuggets:  Addison has become the pickiest eater in the last few weeks.  I think the only meal I was able to get her to eat this week was chicken nuggets!! Any night that I made anything different, she wouldn't eat.  Addison used to LOVE green beans, corn, carrots, etc. and now she won't touch any of them.  Aside from chicken, her favorites seem to be noodles and rice.  I try to avoid being a "drill sergeant" at the dinner table because I don't want mealtime to become a chore.  I'm hoping that maybe it's just a phase and Addie will grow out of the picky stage on her own.  Fingers crossed. :)

Counting Backwards:  She must have learned this watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because I don't think I taught it to her.  This week, we were playing with some of Addie's toys and she began counting backwards from ten to one.  I think I startled her after she was done because I cheered really loud and smiled at her!! ha ha


All about Cooper

All eyes:  Cooper is so alert now and loves to watch what we're doing at all times.  If we're moving around the room, he does anything he can to keep his eyes on us.

Ignoring us:  It sounds contradictory to the previous statements about Coop always watching us but anytime someone is holding Cooper out in front of them and trying to catch his eyes, he will intentionally look away.  Once you finally get his attention and start "entertaining him" by making faces/noises, he doesn't want to look away though.  Very funny!

Angry when burped:  I'm not sure if it's the burping part or just the fact that the bottle has been taken away for a few brief moments, but Cooper gets EXTREMELY angry whenever we burp him.  Sometimes I wonder if it's really painful burps making their way up and sometimes I think it's just that he doesn't want that milk taken away from him.  At times though, it makes burping that much more of a chore because he struggles and keeps the bubbles from making their way up.
