Who Moved My Cheese?



Each day we snip a bit off of Stafford's binkie. We are wondering if her will notice that bit by bit we are moving his cheese.  It is already half gone and he still wants the thing. We're hoping that when it is a small stump it will be more trouble to keep in than it is worth. Wish us luck.

Birthday Boy




This kid runs around enjoying life.  When you watch him join in with his brothers you can see sheer joy on his face.  He doesn't know, yet, that having a bunch of boys around to play with isn't how everyone lives.  He seems happy for each day and excited to see what his "bruvers" are doing.  He looks for them in the morning and really relies on them for so many things.

He loves horses and has for years.  If a show has a horse in it he will watch it, even if it is a boring black and white western that I can't even bear to watch. 

He loves to be tickles and will say, "Tickle me!" with his arm in the air. 

He says "Searole" for cereal.

He calls girls, "Kia". (I have know explanation on that one.)

If it isn't his idea then he can hold his own quite well, but if you say please he will usually say, "Awight." and do what you asked him to do.

"Mom, wan play mit me?" is one that is hard to resist.

He goes right into nursery and has lots of tales to tell when he comes out.  The thing is that we have no idea as to what he is saying when he gets going so quickly.  I'm sure it was a riveting tale, though.

He likes books, dancing, being twirled in a circle, riding people as horses and putting saddles on them too.  He is great with knots and a goodl time involves tieing his toys with ropes.  He loves "ropes" and will spend lots of time playing with the cat and getting her to chase the cord or belt that he has.

The other day I tried to sit him on the couch next to me and he stopped me and explained that he had spicey poo.  Boy did he!  Anyone who has kids knows what I'm talking about.

Stafford - 19 Months

Stafford's favorite things all start with a "B".
Here is how he says them.
"bi" for binkie.
"bu" for book and bath and bottle
"bl,l,l" for blanket

He still loves loves horses and will look at horse books for a long time. He brings the book to me, sits on my lap and leafs through the pages.

He likes to chase and be chased and has recently found that if he takes off his pants and diaper I will chase him.

Satafford - 17 months

Stafford can now say, "No, no, no," which is usually only spoken when I'm dragging him away from something.

He also says, "Bome." He does this usually when his toys are bouncing off something or when he is poking someone.

He also loves horses. He loves toting his three toy horses around.
