Whine & Cheese

There is nothing like a good whine and some cheese. You can't have one without the other, so without further adieu I give you....

WHINE

CHEESE

Happy Monday!

helping out

I am such a good helper, trust me!

I can take (rip) things out of boxes in 2 seconds flat. That's helpful!

I love anything electronic, so finding then eating the remote, that totally helps.

So when we moved I decided to give everyone a hand. I am nice like that.

 I unpacked one box, and played in my room while I supervised the unpacking of all my stuff. Clothes made it - check, Chair(s)- yep, TOYS - super! Lovie - sah-weet! I am done.

The 'rents are still unpacking, something about me being sick - yada, yada... My room is done and that's all that matters to me, well that and the Mickey Mouse on the TV!

Have a happy rainy day everyone!

pity, party of one

holy macaroni! for those of you who haven't heard or do not yet know, I spent my 11 month birthday at the ER, although I was home by 1:15 so not quite 11 months yet, but ya know.

I had not such a good day on Tuesday, and was totally not buying the pedialyte gig anymore, so lots of barfs and stuff just flowing out the other end, no pee diapies, off I went to the Emergency Room with Mommy & Daddy to make sure I wasn't so dehydrated that I'd get really sick. 

Good news is that I was able to keep a popsicle down after I REFUSED their little apple juice/pedialtye concoction. Like I didn't know what was in the bottle. Also I did not have to get an IV because I was just on the verge of dehydration and they do not like putting those in little kids (like me) unless they absolutely have too.

Bad news, I did have to have a catheter put in - Note to self - Not something to be repeated - like EVER! Also, I went to have an X-Ray "just to check", but we all know the hospital that shall remain nameless just wanted some more of my 'rents dough!  P.S. The X-RAY thing is just a nice name for a torture device. Really, I am soooo not kidding. Mommy got to go with me, but all she could do was hold my arms up in the air as I got encased in a plastic burrito maker for kids.  NOT SO MUCH FUN!!!

The nice people did give me a prescription for the medicine my parents took when they were sick, so as of now I am able to keep some gatorade/water down and a yummy popsicle. :-)

So $150, popsicle, and not so fun tests, we are back home. Poor Daddy had to go to work today while I am trying to sleep some, but really just want to be cuddled with my Mommy and watch some cartoons. Is that too much to ask? Me think not.

Happy 11 Months to me! 

Poor pitiful Holden

still here

warning the following information could include mention of gross, nasty things that are taking place in our household. you have been warned!

Okay now that you all know that I am still alive, my family has had quite a week to say the least. First of all, Wednesday I went over to hang out with Gigi while Mommy and Uncle Jare were packing. That is until Mommy got whatever Conner had...DOUBLE, no make that TRIPLE YUCK!! I came home briefly then went back with Gigi until Daddy could come pick me up. Thursday our house got "flipped turned upside down" (remember that old peeps?) and I went to stay with Miss Jessie while Mommy tried to stay away from everybody! Friday was all good (Mommy still felt bad but was doing okay). Saturday rolls around and BAM Daddy's got the CRUD too! 

pausing for a definition of said crud.  Crud = bodily fluid coming out of both, all or either ends. NOT PRETTY

Okay on to today. I wake up a bunch at night, not feeling myself and then this morning with my milky - it comes to me. GREAT. SUPER. FANTASTIC (not really). So now poor little me has the crud. Big time too! I up and I chuck four times in the span of one hour. I got Mommy doing laundry left and right, well Daddy is helping too. Good thing she feels a bit better, 'cause everyone knows boys stink at being sick.   So after a call to the doctor and a run to the grocery place while we boys were napping, I got some Pedialyte and Daddy got saltines.  I am doing a bit better with keeping things in, just feeling pitiful. 

Not to worry though, I am being rocked, given Pedialyte, lots of loving and loads of Mommy time. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but for the time being you'll have to do with some oldies but goodies.

We are out of commission at Casa de Crocker. 

Send some love our way,

Luck of the Irish

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm told I have a wee bit of Irish in me, so in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm wearing green jammies (I haven't gotten dressed yet) and am totally trying to get Mommy to give me green...milk of course! 

Here's to all my great, great grandparents who hopped on a ship and continued the line! I'll have my daddy drink one for you! Meanwhile I'm going to be out looking for this Pot o' Gold everyone is talking about. I WANT SOME TOO!

I could have my behind wiped, someone would feed me, I would get carried everywhere...Oh wait, that already happens. Geez, I am LUCKY! See told you I was IRISH! 

Luckily Irish,

Holden

p.s. Get Well Soon Aunt Jamie, Uncle B and Conner!!!

just another rainy Monday...

baby booty and monkey

I'm back! Did you miss me!? I had a super weekend although I'm pretty sure we had a monsoon. I got to see Mema & Gramps on Saturday while my Mama got her hair chopped ;-) and then we had Uncle Jare spend the night. Sunday we saw Gigi & Hoot and my parents took me everywhere while they shopped for a new washer & dryer. Like I care! I hear they got a steam one, 'cause you know I'm a boy and all!  

who dumps out the toy box...not me!

The big news is...Mommy got a new camera too! Let the mom-a-ratzi begin, again! 3 bazillion pictures of me, the dog and boxes later - I think she's figuring out how to use it. The cool guy at the store we bought it from gave me a camera too - a dummy one that is, the thing doesn't even work. Next time I see him...

Well that's about all except my house is being transformed into a storage room. Boxes EVERYWHERE! 

Forget "two men and a truck" we have a Super Baby, his daddy & a rented truck, along with the ever popular two grandpa's and a truck that are helping too! ;-) 

Keepin' it dry!

HDC

adios sucker!

DONE

RUINED

KAPUT

WIPED OUT

BITE THE DUST

IN A BAZILLION PIECES (thanks to daddy!)

Well peeps after 11,800 pictures the camera has DIED!  Mommy is devastated, for reals! I hear they are going shopping for a new, higher techy one tomorrow. Oh joy.  Daddy saved the memory card before he destroyed the lens, seriously a bazillion pieces! 

Well that's all for now. I'll leave you with a picture from yesterday, the last off the trusty camera. It's has taken a ton of pictures of me ('cause I'm just that stinkin' cute) and everyone else too! 

Try not to be too sad, my 'rents will have me cheesin' in front of a new camera in no time at all!

You can trust me on this one!

Holden

Cape needed

forget Superman, Spiderman and all those other guys...

I'm H-MAN:

capable of leaping into cribs, falling on small tables, tackling any stairs you put in my way!

So Monday was a little repeat of Friday, 'cept it involved my eye and a trip to the doctor. Although after the wait I was back to my normal self trying to get into everything! My eye is fine and I did not get a black eye like they said (super powers...duh!). So twenty dolly's ($20), a mommy of the year award, and a list from the doctor about what to do if (when) it happens again, I'm all good!  Mommy on the other hand is looking for a helmet and a rubber suit for next time, guess she's got me all figured out! 

 I am a climber, wicked fast crawler and love to walk with help.  I overheard the 'rents saying that the coffee table is going into storage for awhile. Like I can't climb something else! 

Okay, that's all for now - but remember to lock up your electronics, cover your outlets and hide all sharp corners, I'm coming to visit!

Happy Wednesday!

Doggie Dayz

Meet my new furry friends Albert & "Einstein, aka "Bert & Einy"

On Sunday we went to see Daddy & Mommy's friends Aaron & Michelle and their two huge golden retrievers. It was the GREATEST! I got to play in the pool (well my hands and feet, it was still a little chilly), crawled all over the backyard and got my first grass stains! I played ball with the doggies and weeded the sod ;-) With the time change I was a little wonky while we got the grand tour but overall a great day! I even got to eat some pizza crust (double score!)

hey little doggie you wanna play? 

face off...

hey...that's MY ball, you have one over there! 

(thought it was so funny, he licked my feet & hands too after I ate!)

ready, set...catch

CRIB 1 HOLDEN 0

Sorry about the picture, it was taken with Mommy's iPhone but it gets the point across anyways. As usual I decided I was going to stand up in my crib again, however the crib and I decided to brawl it out - p.s. it won.

Just to put it into perspective for all you out there, today Mommy is also watching Conner so she put me to take a nap, which obviously I didn't do and she was down watching him. Two minutes later I decided to rumble and the crib decided to break my fall. Smooth - not so much.

Finally one sleeping baby (Conner), cool washcloth & bottle and some Tylenol for me it's all good.  I did end up taking my afternoon nap, just a tiny bit later ;-)

Another fun Friday at Casa de Crocker.

Snack time & Kisses

I LOVE snack time! I sit in my chair, get to watch a little Mickey Mouse and just chill after my afternoon nap.  I get a little juice (which I found out was more water than juice - cheaters!) and some puffs or fake cheetos and re-lax. Ahh the life of me! 

I also have a new trick well it's more than a trick I guess but the 'rents & grandparents and of course all my mommy's friends luuuuvvvv it!  ;-)

that's right, I now give K-I-S-S-E-S! 

Although it usually is slobbery (okay most of the time) and my mouth is WIDE OPEN, but no ones seems to mind. ;-)

So here's your kiss for today!

~ MUAH ~

Holden

just 'cause

that's how I roll.

for reals?

It's March, people told me it would start to warm up in March...

sadly they were mistaken

evidence #1

It's freakin' snowing - again, in North Carolina - where it's supposed to be warm, way more months than it should be cold. Here I go thinking it is Monday, time to go to the park, do a little stroller crusin' but NOPE all because of that white snow that sticks to things and not to mention I really do not want to be in the monkey suit...again. 

So now I'm stuck in the house all day but it is all good because Mommy declared today jammie/chill out day, that's right I get to rock my pj's all day long. 

WOO HOO on that one. They have feeties too (be jealous). 

No worries, I hear it will be warm by the weekend! Sweet! 

Happy Snow Day (again)
