Crocker Allen Hoesli

I went to the doctor on Monday and Crocker is doing just fine. He weighs about 9 ounces and is growing at the rate he shpould.

Baby Name

Sheldon and I have been trying to decide on a baby name since February. We already had a name for a girl, but not a boy. We have been back and forth especially when we found out we were having another boy. We finally decided on a name.

Big Day!!!

Tomorrow is the big day! At 3:30, I go for my ultrasound. Keep your fingers crossed that the baby will cooperate a little better than Max did. Stay tuned...

Early Birthday

My mom and dad had a little birthday party yesterday for me. I will be in WY for my birthday, so everyone got together to celebrate.

Potty

I am hoping to have Max potty trained by the time the new baby gets here. He really likes to sit on it and look at it, so hopefully he will want to use it soon.

Boo Boo

Last night Max was sitting in my lap on the couch. He turned around to get down and lost his balance. He hit his head on the edge of the coffee table. This was his prize.

Welcome Home!

Max's Nana and Grandpa have been in Florida this week. Max has really missed them and was so glad to see them come home!

Happy Mother's Day #2

Sheldon sent me these beautiful flowers today.





The card says "Thank you Mommy for taking such good care of us. Love, Max and Daddy".

Happy Mother's Day

Max gave me my Mother's Day present when I picked him up from daycare today. It is so precious and I had to hold back my tears.



Here is the poem that goes with it:

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But every day I'm growing ...
I'll be grown-up someday,
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.
So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

Gross!!!

On the way home from school, I turned around to see Max and this is what I saw.



and if that wasn't bad enough, before I could wipe his face and fingers, he ate his booger. Ewww...

Bad Dream

Max had his 1st bad dream last night. He went to bed at 7 as usual, but he woke up at 9 throwing a fit. I went in there and tried to lay him back down, but he would just sit right back up. The only thing that brought him comfort was me holding him standing up. He would freak out if I tried to sit down. After about 45 minutes he finally calmed down and I was able to put him back to bed. He slept just fine after that and did not get up until 8 this morning.
