First Steps, First Haircut, First Birthday

It's been a big week for us! Dixon celebrated his birthday. He got a bee cake because he loves the bee on his Baby Einstein movie. He also took his first steps and got his first haircut.

Oh yeah, and I was told by his doctor to try and fatten him up. I'm going to put him on the Homer Simpson weight gaining diet. You know, the one Scott and I are always on...

Did you make that cake??? So jealous, I always imagine cool fun cakes for my kids but they never turn out even close to what they are suppose to. I'll have to have you make it next time. And I love the haircut it is super cute.

Dixon saw me put a meat thermometer in a pan of meatloaf and said:
"Birthday, Mommy!"

Dixon bumped his head and got an "owie." He pretended the owie fell off and he caught it. Later I was not paying enough attention to him and he pulled the imaginary owie out of his pocket and said:

while placing it on his head.

"Good boy, Mommy!"

When Dixon wants to ask permission for something, he looks at me and asks, "yeah, Mama?" while imitating what is is he wants to do. I've always appreciated this because it helps him to communicate despite his speech limitations. Yesterday I was moving shelves. I was over-dramatizing the effort in an attempt to make Dixon laugh. His response? He looked at me and asked, "Shit, Mama?" to see if it was an appropriate time to say that. I guess he has been listening to me...
and, yes, it was me that accidentally taught him that one.

Years ago Scott had most of his toenails removed. Yesterday Dixon noticed this for the first time and said:
"Eeeww toes. Ew gross."

The other night Dixon got up in the middle of the night (like always.) When I went to try and plead with him to be quiet and try to sleep he pointed at my bloodshot eye and said:
"Mommy eye owie. Red owie. Eye red owie."

11-20-2010

I was putting band-aids on some cuts on Dixon's fingers when he said:
"Night night owies."

Dixon heard the zipping sound when he was zipping up his coat. He curled his hand around his ear and whispered:
"Hear bee!"

11-16-2010

Dixon: "Ah Goo"
Dash: "Ah Goo"
Dixon: "Ah Goo"
Dash: "Burbble puh puh"
Dixon: "Ha ha! Baby crazy!"

11-15-2010

Dixon when I gave him Ramen Noodles today:
"Snake bath, Mommy!"

Dixon when he pooped in the potty today:
"Choo choo train poop!"

I think Dixon has been having nightmares about mice and bees in his bed. He keeps waking up and needing reassurance they are not there. Tonight at bed time:
Dixon: "No bees?"
Me: "No bees."
Dixon: "No mouse?"
Me: "No mouse."
Dixon: "No cow?"
Me: "I'm actually outside the bed, so no cow. Now go to sleep."
