Nose in the books, shot in the leg
I’ve been busy with studying for these exams I have coming up, so I haven’t been posting much lately.
Today Marshall had his 2nd HepB shot. He was a good boy! He went to daycare this morning and had a bit of a scare with the vaccuum cleaner there (he was in the room with her when she started vaccuuming out the toybox and he freaked out). I picked him up at 11 and gave him his tylenol then picked up Daddy and went to the public health clinic. There were some little cuties there! He weighed in at 27lbs15oz, then got his shot and cried for a couple of minutes. It didn’t take him long to recover. He tried walking back down the hallway where he had gotten the shot.
While in the 15-minute post-shot waiting room, we chatted with a woman who was there with her 4-month old. She was interested in our cloth diapers. 
It seems like a lot of people are interested in them. I am starting to give out our website so they can find our favourite sellers and more information quickly. She is also practicing Evacuation or Elimination Communication (also here) with her son. This seems to be another up-and-coming baby trend. Parents encourage going to the bathroom pretty much from birth. They watch for the signs that the baby is going to pee or poo, and run them to the toilet lickity-split. I am not sure I could do this myself (not enough patience).
What else is new… Marshall loves to scream. Whenever he’s excited about something he screams. Cathy (Marshall’s daycare) had to tell the other kids that he wasn’t upset, just excited. *L* He especially gets excited about animals like Bounce or Tasha, Cathy’s dog.
Marshall still loves to chase Bounce. I think Bounce is liking it less and less.
He is getting lots of teeth and seemingly all at once.
He loves doors. He loves the pots and pans. He likes to eat Mommy and Daddy’s food. He eats most things now. He had some of our stir-fry the other night.
He is currently sporting a runny-ish stuffy nose. I am also.
He has been having a rough time falling asleep and staying asleep lately. We’re not sure if this has to do with his teeth or his cold or what. A couple of times this week he woke up at 3am (diaper leaked because it was so full) and thought it was a good time to get up for the day. Mommy and Daddy did not agree. It took over an hour to get to go back to sleep. Last night he went back to sleep quickly though (thank you son!).
We went to a movie Saturday night (The Bournce Ultimatum) and Marshall hung out with Mary and Val. He went right to sleep when they put him to bed and didn’t wake up at all. It was so nice to come to folded laundry (thanks Mary!) and a sleeping baby The movie was quite good too. We even stayed afterwards and played a little pinball. We didn’t want to stay out too late though and get caught up in the concert traffic.
Ok, back to studying!
