A brief scare

Today Randel, Anthony and I decided to walk across the street to check out the new Mediterranean buffet that had just opened up. Randel cut up some pieces of meat for Anthony to eat. Unfortunately they weren't small enough and before we knew it Anthony was coughing, tearing up and choking. I started giving him hard pats on his back but it was still lodged in his throat. I kept trying and finally he got it out. He was crying from me hitting his back and scaring him. It really didn't last long at all, maybe just a few seconds but it seemed like they were taking an eternity and I can't even began to explain the fear that I felt for that very brief moment. Randel picked him up and took him outside to calm him down while I sat there actually flushed and feeling my heart still racing. All ended well, he was back to his happy self in no time and enjoyed his, much smaller cut up, pieces of fruit.

Remember this?

I was looking at a bunch of old videos and saw this one and couldn't believe he was this small.

Follow-up

Just wanted to add to Randels post that I just got home from picking Anthony up and was told that he made two of the toddlers cry and when she told him that it was not nice to do that and asked him if he understood he looked at her and said "Ya."

Baby Hercules

Anthony is getting a reputation for smacking the other kids around. The good thing is he does not discriminate, he will smack a little boy or little girl if they get out of line. I think the real problem is that he plays with the other infants, but being the size of a small bulldozer, he doesn’t always have the softest hands. The ladies that watch him say he never seems to have mean intentions, he is just too strong for his own good.

Hard for me to do much more than smile when they tell me he made another kid cry. Toughen your kids up people :)

Anthony did not want his diaper put on last night. Here he is enjoying being diaper free.

And here is pooped out from swinging.




Once again another great night of sleep for us. Anthony-0 Mom and dad-3

Video fun

Here is a very grainy video that I love. I will eventually figure out how to make it look better and not freeze so much.

2 nights down!!!

My second full night of sleep. I forgot how wonderful it is. We did hear Anthony wake up at about 6:30 and cry a little but he went right back to sleep. It's the weirdest thing for me to wake up at 7 for the first time instead of for the 3rd time after a long long night. Yesterday morning I was in shock to see daylight and the time on the clock. I couldn't believe I had gone that long sleeping uninterrupted. Why didn't we just bite the bullet and do this before? He got away with his middle of the night shenanigans for way too long.
