And for the New Year, a new name
Baby Noble 2 will be Ross Lucien Noble.
My dad's middle name is Rossell. Rossell was the last name of his father who passed away when my dad was an infant. It was also Lulu's first husband. Ross is from Rossell. Lucien is Patrick's great-grandfather's first name and his great uncle's middle name.
Love it or not, Ross Lucien it is.

My New Year's Eve Resolution
or some sort
I want to take at least one picuture of Alex every day 365 project. Patrick will likely think it's dumb, but I don't care.

Oh, the embarrassment of Terrible Threes
Okay. What is the deal? He doesn't listen. He completely embarrassed me in the shoe store. I had to go out and get his stroller and strap him in. He dismantled the baby gate going to the upstairs in the shoe store, walked in the back where they carry shoe inventory, and just completely ignored me.
Then, for whatever reason, I decided to go to another store after and he did the same thing in there- throwing a fit because his stroller tray was snapped in place and he didn't want it like that. Once I tried shoes on him, he ran into the clothes dept. and I just had it.
This better end soon.
oh, but it doesn't end.
After I wrote the above, he peed on his scooter inside the house. About 20 minutes later, peed in his seat while eating dinner. The pee seeped through his booster seat on the kitchen chair and onto the floor. Then he used the 409 I had out to clean up the pee and he covered the table including our Mac, my laptop, his Leapster and some books with it. I just put him in the tub and waited for Patrick to get home. I need respite from today.

Yay, #2
Alex just pooped on the potty totally by himself. The downside was that he did it totally by himself.
I was eating lunch and he was playing in his room...or so I thought. The next thing I know he comes in stark naked and tells me he poo-pooed. So, I run in his room expecting to see a pile on the floor and it's not there. He's not in there either. I run to the bathroom and he's looking into the toilet. He has poop smeared on his leg and on the outside of the toilet. There's even a turd on the floor that fell through the hole in his step stool.
He didn't tell me he had to potty, but I guess that's just something you want privacy for. I had to bust out the wipes and clean him all up but he was so proud he went on the potty.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
We had a great day visiting family. While we were leaving Patrick's uncle's Christmas get together, Alex puked all over Patrick and their kitchen. Then he puked on the way home. I had to use my jacket because I couldn't find the bags they gave me for just-in-case. He slept until 5:30am Christmas morning. Once he saw what Santa left him he was NOT going to bed. Check out the Shutterfly link to see the Christmas madness.
After every present he opened, he wanted to play with it. Patrick opened every present as Alex opened them. He loved all of his toys. Santa left him a Cars bike. In the middle of opening presents he started singing Happy Birthday.
CLICK HERE FOR PICTURES after it uploaded, they seem to be backwards, so the first pictures shown were not the first taken....not that it really matters.
8**Apparently when I uploaded it duplicated the pictures. Don't know why, but there's 2 of each. Sorry.

A potty milestone
Today, Alex pooped on the potty for the first time. It's been a week since we first started potty training and I guess today was a good time to poop on the toilet.
However, about 2 minutes later he peed in his underwear. Baby steps.

Almost a week
**It's almost week of potty training. He's getting better. A few accidents here and there. Most accidents are when he's playing and doesn't want to stop to go.
**He's now allergic to medications with Sulfa in them. He has a touch of sinus infection and was prescribed Septra. About 4-5 hours after taking the medicine he got a red face, was not wanting to eat, he said his belly hurt and his back hurt, he was so lethargic and loopy. He also had a low grade fever.
**Alex helped me make a Gingerbread house. I need to upload those pictures and get the pictures of him helping me from Nana.
**Alex really needs to not nap. It's 10:30pm and he's talking to himself in bed. When he naps, bedtime is horrible.
**In less than a week we find out if I'm having a boy or a girl. Stay tuned for video on that revelation :)

"Mommy, I have to potty"
Finally, it's sinking in. We've been trying to potty train for MONTHS. Lately he's been saying when he has to pee. Today we're using real underwear. Not pull ups, real cotton, leaky underwear. I'm using my friend's strategy and setting a timer for every 30 minutes so I can ask Alex if he has to go. The thing about him is, if you ask him he'll tell you "no". Going to the bathroom has to be his idea.

wow, almost a month
You'd think with me not working I'd have something at least every week. Oh well.
Here's my belly right now. I'm sad to say that this is the first belly picture I've taken. It's at 17 weeks, or 4 months, 1 week for those who hate math.
And here is Alex's new trick. It's quite annoying. I need to find a lock he won't be able to figure out.
Speaking of locks, he's able to open any door and lock. I need a baby lock for the back door...the one in our bedroom that leads to the backyard. This boy's a free spirit who doesn't listen to right/wrong. I often find him outside on the slide. We also have a baby handle on our bedroom door but he knows how to open that too.
