Clark, CJ and the Cowboys

Sunday, CJ was able to go with Clark to the Cowboys game at the new stadium. Here are the pictures! Because I am using this blog as sort of a diary/scrapbook of the sweet things that CJ says, I want to remember that I received this text from Clark after they arrived. They were close to the cheerleaders and CJ said to Clark, "Those mommies are pretty like my mommy." He somehow finds the sweetest things to say. He amazes me how he stops to notice a "pretty" shirt that I have on or jewelry or shoes or really whatever he can call pretty. I hope he always compliments the women in his life. When they got home he gave me a real sweet smile and said, "Did you have fun with the babies mommy?"

Not Again!!!

Last night I thought that Marky wasn't eating because he had been filling up on CJ's leftovers but tonight I found out differently. About 11:00 pm last night Mark woke up screaming and he rarely ever wakes up after we put him to bed. He was making these sounds like his throat was hurting but that was all we could really tell. He woke up from his nap today doing the same thing. It wasn't until I put him in the bathtub tonight that I finally saw what was making him act so unlike our sweet Marky...he has hand, foot and mouth again, despite us trying to keep him sanitized and away from other kids during this season of sickness.

Marky Lately

Lately we've noticed that Mark hasn't been eating as much as he normally does...but tonight I think I finally put two and two together. Marky has always been our biggest eater. He would eat anything. I used maybe 5 jars of baby food with him and then I started mixing our food with his rice cereal when he was probably 5 months old. I've tried it lately with Peyton since he is 5 months, and every time I have to start over with Peyton's food. He just gags if there is anything that is not completely smooth! Mark would eat CJ's leftovers because we would give it to him if he acted like he was still hungry. Why waste food, huh?

Nowadays, after I clean Mark up from his meal, CJ is usually still eating. Once CJ finishes, he wonders off and usually I am tending to the other two bathing, changing diapers etc. He leaves his food on the table until I can get back in the kitchen to clean up. In the meantime, Mark finds his way back in the kitchen to make my clean-up job much easier and this just might be why he isn't eating as much of his own meals...

This is Mark back up on the table eating the rest of CJ's pizza.


This morning, finishing CJ's Raisin Bran...
