Wee Wilson Tales

I can't believe he is two!!!! I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. He is such a big boy these days. We had a party for him at Fun Junction on Saturday. He had a great time bouncing and eating cupcakes. Words: He can repeat anything you ask him to...although you may not understand everything he says. Some of my favorite things he says now are: Dax (Jax), RoRo, Threese (for my mom - he started this after hearing my dad holler "Threese, Manda's on the phone," bah ball (basketball), bah bus (school bus), church, john deere. He went for his first dentist appointment in December. Somehow they were able to actually clean his teeth...miracle of miracles! He was quite the entertainer in the waiting room. In fact, I almost took him home before they ever called us back. He loves boxing. That's why Santa brought him his very own punching bag and gloves, of course. Santa must have known that he's been boxing our couch, chair, our backs, our legs.....

Ro's had a lot of firsts!!! Ronin started rolling in December. I can hardly believe it because he's rarely laying down when he's not swadled. That boy loves to be wrapped up. But he breaks free from it a lot more now. I've got to catch it on video! He also started holding toys and really noticing his hands. Sometimes he'll just stare at them. Most of the time he tries to eat them. This results in him being covered in drool. I wouldn't be surprised if a tooth pops through pretty soon. He also took his pacifier out of his mouth and put it back in a few times. Most of the time he just takes it out so he can put his fingers or fist in instead. He's may be teething with all of his drooling and hand sucking he does! He's even made a hickey on his hand! He also started eating cereal, and did quite well. I will start him on veggies next week after his 4 month appt. And he's been getting in his jumper and bumbo too! I...

I can't believe I'm so late blogging, but we had a great Christmas this year. We started out on the Monday before Christmas... Rafael who has been doing our carpentry work had his family flying in from Mexico. We had barbecue , and gave them gifts. They couldn't speak any English, so I really had to work hard to use the Spanish words that I remembered. It was very nice, and we enjoyed introducing the kids (6 and 12 years old) to the PS3 and Big Red. Tuesday night, we all went to Karen's to have Christmas with Lisa's family. It was great to see Adam who I only get to see a few times a year. Here is Lisa with the kids: Harlee Kate, Ro , Zach, Jax Wednsday night, we packed up and went to Karen's to spend the night. Christmas Eve is my absolute favorite day of the year, and I look forward to it all year long!!! It was different this year because we always stay with my parents. But since they haven't started building their house yet, Karen volunteered to hos...

Does anyone else do this? Even though Jax is a little young, we started it this year. Judi Lucius at Special Daze told me about it. It is the cutest thing ever. Click on the photo above for the official site. But the gist of it....it's a gift set that includes a book and your own personal elf. The story is really cute, and it tells about your elf that will come to you home every year at Thanksgiving. He watches to see who's being naught and nice, and then flies with Christmas magic to the North Pole to report to Santa every night. So your job as "parents" is to move the elf to a different place every night. When the child wakes up in the morning, they get to look and see where the elf is. So we play the game every morning of looking to see where the elf is. It's really cute...so I just wanted to share!

...... Is to decorate and move home!!!! Things are finally starting to come together with our remodeling. I am anticipating we'll get to move back in this weekend. The tile is finished, so now we have to move on to getting the cabinets up, granite in, and appliances delivered and in place. Is it too much to hope for all this by Christmas???? I hope not! John, Jax , Ronin and myself are still snuggled up in the apartment for now...with not a single Christmas decoration. Those of you that know me well...hard to believe, huh? I can't wait to decorate even if it only stays up a few days. Last week, Jax had a stomach virus. I got it from him on Friday. On Saturday I took him to the dr . because he did not sleep for the previous 2 nights. He had a severe double ear infection. He's feeling so much better now, and almost back to acting like himself. He's so funny now. He'll repeat ANYTHING we tell him to. He also sings a few songs with me that are hilarious. I am trying t...

Well, we had a nice Thanksgiving! We ate with my parents, Lisa, Mark, Zach on Thanksgiving day. My sister had to come after us because Harlee Kate's been exposed to the chicken pox. I don't think she'll get them, but we have to be careful with Ronin! So that was not fun...but we'll make up for it at Christmas. We had great food and yummy desserts, but somehow I forgot to snap pictures!?! Friday we went shopping. I look forward to this day every year! It's a special time for me, Mom, and Karen. And this year was even more special because the newest gal of the family joined us. Harlee Kate was an absolute doll. She never cried once or was a bit of trouble. I'm thinking in the years to come, she will be wearing us out by wanting to shop longer than we can handle!! Saturday we went to Grenada. Corrie did a great job with the food and Jax had tons of fun playing with his cousins. He slept all the way home. Ronin is still being absolutely wonderful. He sleeps about ...
