The stork man cometh. I'd like to do my best to chronicle my journey through pregnancy and share my body-inebriating transformation from wife and mother to proud Mr J and hairy little Lou to wife of proud Mr J and mother of 2, hairy little Lou and the above-mentioned little monster that is growing within me as we speak. Welcome to the Ocean Beach Baby Chronicles.
I received a call from Ms. Sarah, saying that you put two peas up your nose at lunch and she was only able to get one out. I went to your class prepared with tweezers and as soon as I arrived, the assistant teacher told me she was able to get the second one out of your nose. She also said that she found about 20 peas in your pocket. For snacking later? Around 4 o'clock I recieved another call from Sarah, stating that she was able to get another pea out of the SAME nostril but a fourth one is still in there. 4 peas in one nostril?!! I didn't even think to check for more peas! Luckly, your dad and I was able to suck out the last pea at night. A big thank you to SnotSucker!
After lunch I saw I had a missed call so I called the number back, it was your teacher Ms. Sarah on the other line. She told me not to worry she got the corn out of your nose. She said that during lunch you pointed to your nose and said "nose" a couple of times but not till clean up time did she realize that that was not a boogie in your nose but a piece of corn from your mixed veggies. Too funny! Ms. Sarah finally got it out by pressing down on that nostril. It doesn't help that you don't know how to blow your nose. UPDATE- That night after your bath I was putting your diaper on and saw what looked like a big boogie up your right nostril, I held your left nostril close and asked you to blow and when you did another kernel of corn popped out onto your stomach! I'm not sure it that was more shocking then you proceeding to cry "my corn, my corn" when I threw the corn away.

you are now 2 and I'm just blown away at how quickly you moved from infant, baby, to toddler. You definitely are showing your colors. You are sweet just like your Baba. I've been coughing for the last 3 days and every time you hear it you say "bless you" and give me pats on the back. You are hilarious. Very often you start gibbering about something and you start laughing at yourself, and then end with waving your hands at your face and shaking your head like "I can't believe how funny i am." You still like to pretend to want to share your treats with us and pull away and stuff it into your mouth, that usually ends up with you laughing. You love "Safe and Sound" from Capital Cities. We watch it after your bath time and before you go to sleep. We usually have to tell you "2 times JoJo" before we put it on TV or else you will keep saying "mo mo". After the second time watching it, you'll say "two".
You are not an angel all the time, when those random tantrums hit it can make us bonkers! You tell Baba to "go" when he wants to join us on the bed. When you put the wrong shoes on your feet and I try to switch them, that usually gets you huffing.
We had planned for your birthday party to be at Pizza Port in Ocean Beach, but that fell though. Baba went a hour early to save a table but it was packed due to Sunday football and beer week so we just ended up having it at the house. Your guests included: Uncle Adam, Aunt Nympha, the Tarr's, and Mouer's.
