All About the Kids

No, this is not about a cake that I made…this is an absolutely disgusting story that I believe may top all previous grossness in our house!  Anne, I’m pretty sure I have you beat here =)

So, this morning I was changing a rather dirty diaper of Asher’s and he kept sticking his hands in it (not such an unusual thing).  When I finished the diaper I put the dirty one in the diaper pail (we have a diaper genie so I pushed the diaper itself between the two flaps so that it was sealed in the bottom of the pail…never to be seen again).  Then I took a clean wipe and washed Asher’s hands off and put that wipe in the diaper pail but without pushing it through the flaps.  I then went to wash my own hands and soon heard Titus tell Asher to quit doing that.  I went back into Asher’s room to find his mouth full of that very wipe that I had just used to wipe dirty diaper remains off of his hands!!  I was absolutely mortified and most puzzled how in the world to sanitize his little mouth.  Needless to say, Asher is not getting much for kisses today!!

Can you believe it?!  Asher is 18 months old!  Actually, I am a few days behind here but today he had his 18 mo. well child visit so this works too =)  All was well…tubes still in place, development right on track, etc.  I was excited because they had some H1N1 vaccinnes so he got his first dose of that too.  Here are the latest stats:

Height:  36 1/2″  (>97%)

Weight:  30 lbs.  (90-95%)

I love the talking development of this age!  Asher is constantly saying new words and getting better about putting words together.  One of my favorites is that yesterday I heard him in the kitchen saying “no no hello, no no hello!”   He calls the telephone a “hello” and he was playing with the phone and telling himself no at the same time =)   His other favorite phrase or answer if you ask “who wants lunch” or “who wants to take a bath” or “who loves their mommy” is “I do, I do, I do.”  So fun!
