DooDoo
Warning! This post is my conversation with True about his poop. Graphic details to follow.
Setting - True is sitting on the toilet , I am sitting on the side of the tub waiting for him to finish his business.
Me: True are you almost pau?
True: Almost, Mommy (He peers between his legs looking at his doodoo)
True: Look, my doodoo, Mommy.
Me: Are you finished?
True: Dere (there) my Daddy doodoo and a baby doodoo AND ANODER DADDY DOODOO.
Me: Shhh, don't yell (trying not to laugh).
True: AND THERE IS THAT BOY DOODOO.
At that point I couldn't really talk and he grinned at me, very happy with himself.

Babies who love each other is a wonderful thing.
Last week True got into bed with Zoey and I. He put his arm around her and gave her a little squeeze and told me. "I love her!" I was so happy, he is incredibly gentle and sweet to his little sister.
Later that day, I told him to go to time out because he was acting very naughty, which did not make him happy. When I was putting him to bed he was having trouble with not freaking out when I tried to leave the room. He grabbed me by the neck and said, " need you, I need you." I told him again that he could sleep by himself and I had to go bathe Zoey. This totally pushed him over the edge and he collapsed into sobs, "You are so naughty mommy, stop being NAUGHTY!"
He is doing fabulous on his ABC's. He talks about them all the time.
Me: What are you doing?
True: Say my ABC's.
Me: What is your favorite letter?
True: W - W say's wah, wah. Where my E go? I want that E. (singing) A, B, C, D, E 12345 L, M, N, O , P.
We repeat that conversation many times throughout the day.
Zoey is the sweetest little baby. She makes everyone smile. She is huge and almost as big as Jones who is two months older. We go to the Dr. on August 3 for her 4 month appointment and shots. True is a little behind on his shots so we will get his done at the same time.
Enjoy a couple of pictures from our trip to Hawaii in June.

Dum and Dick
True Blue has been obsessed recently with a little Native hand drum and stick (Noni made it at Daybreak Star pre-school). The first night he had it he went to sleep with it and I took out of his bed when I went to sleep. The next morning he woke up and said, "where my dum and my dick?" Later that day Matt took it away for a while because we were going a little crazy and then he accused matt of "hiding his dick."
We laughed and laughed.

Zoey - Two months old
Zoey had her two month appointment this week. Dr. Haas declared her perfect and in wonderfully good health. She is growing like crazy and weighs 11 pounds 4 ounces. Her height is 23 inches which confused the Dr. a little because when she was first measured at the hospital they didn't do it right and it her official birth height is 22 inches. When she was measured on her second day she was 19 inches. Dr. Haas seemed a little worried that she had not grown enough but I reminded her what happened and from the way she is quickly outgrowing her clothes it is obvious that she is much taller. She is in the 75th percentile for weight head growth and 50 percentile for length. She has an ugly, raised, red birth mark on her back which the Dr. assured will be gone by her second birthday. I was also a little concerned because she has had a cold almost constantly since she was two weeks old. Dr. Haas didn't seem to concerned as she is growing so quickly and is otherwise very healthy. It's hard being the second baby, she gets every cold that True gets. Zoey is sleeping very well, she spend the first part of the night in the bassinet and then I move her to are bed to nurse and snuggle with Mom and Dad. She sleeps better when she is close to us and we like it too!

Zoey
It has been almost two months since Zoey Lael has been with us!
She was born March 24th via a C-section around 8:30pm. Her due date was March 19th and we decided to go for a C-Section when their was some concern that I could have some possible tearing of the old C-section scar. I was having a really weird sharp pain and Dr. Deimer advised the C-Section. We made the decision at 12pm and spent the rest of the day in the hospital room, resting and watching TV. We were in the operating room around 8:10 and twenty mintues later Zoey arrived.
She came out crying very loudly. In fact she has a really loud cry for a newborn. She weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces and was 22 inches long. Zoey was perfectly healthy and took to nursing like a champ. We spent two nights in the hospital and she came home on her third day. Big brother loves her but seemed a little confused to see her every morning. True is experiencing a normal regression, refusing to used the toilet, sucking on his hand and a little whiney when we can't hold him while taking care of Zoey.
javascript:void(0)
Zoey started to smile around three weeks and is a peaceful, lovely girl. She sleeps well through the night only waking to nurse and go to sleep. She is easy to console and is beginning to enjoy a binky. Big brother also likes the binky and regularly tries to steal it. The past couple of days she has been able to really see what he is doing and she follows him around the room with her big brown eyes staring at his wild antics.
We were very blessed to have much help during the first few months of Zoey's life. Matt's mom was here before Zoey arrived with the hopes of being at the birth. Zoey decided to be very late and she missed her birth but while she was here she was a TREMENDOUS help and blessing to us. My mom arrived a day after Matt's mom went back to Hawaii, she stayed until the day before Easter so she could get back and preach! Lis (my sis from Hawaii) arrived a couple of days after mom left and it was so awesome to have the help. I recovered really well but it is tough to wrangle a two year old while nursing a baby.
We are very blessed and are looking forward to the months and years to come with our Zoey Girl.

getting back to blogging!
Yes, facebook has been my main online amusement and way to keep up to date with friends and family. But with the new baby about to make an appearance I want to get back into the groove of updating my blog. It is a great way for me to remember what my first year was like with True-Blue and I want to have the same thing for Zoey Lael.
I am now 33 weeks pregnant and we found out she was a girl at the 20 week ultra-sound. We really wanted a girl and are very excited about having both a girl and a boy. Matt has liked the name Zoey since he was in 7th grade and I Lael is after my sister! We have had no discussion of her name, with True it was really hard for us to decide but Zoey's name was an easy decision for us to come to. This pregnancy has been different from True-Blue's, I was nauseous for 4 months but during the 5th month I started to feel really great! Now that I am 8 months I have started to feel tired and a little achey but other wise I feel good.
True is ready for the new baby. He talks about the baby often and we are hoping for a good adjustment!

Crazy about Elmo
True-Blue has discovered Elmo. As soon as I get out the computer he says "elmo,elmo" and we then watch the very cute youtube videos of elmo with Feist, Alicia Keys, Celine Dion and others. He also wants us to sing Elmos' song. I will try to sing something else but he is not satisfied until he hears Matt or I sing the Elmo's song.
A few nights ago he woke up around 5am and got into bed with us. We were trying to ignore him in the hopes he would go back to sleep and I thought we were successful until I heard a little voice say, "Elmo, sing"!
How did he get so funny?
Here is a very cute video of Fiest and different Sesame Street characters including, Elmo.

True Blue Update
It's been a long time since an update on Hiroshi Truth, so here is what is going on. Please remember that this is a baby blog and is taking the place of a baby book so it will be very Hirocentric. I am also going to update colleenechohawk.blogspot.com soon if you want other news.
He is very very friendly. Today in the store he waved and said bye-bye to everyone which is charming but also weird to have to make eye contact with everyone we came in contact with. The other problem at the grocery store is the strong attraction to balloons so as I try to quickly shop he spends his time pointing and yelling about bloons.
He is a great eater and today went crazy over a big bowl of mushroom and pea risotto and a side of roasted broccoli. He also will eat sushi, kimchi, onions, cooked tomatoes, salad any sort of fruit and he LOVES chocolate. His favorite foods are watermelon, rice and any other kinds of fruit. Uncle Bob gave him a delicious ripe peach and it nearly sent him over the moon. He sat in his highchair, dripping peach juice and yelling, "yum-yum"!
His words are multiplying every day. Yesterday he surprised me when he yelled, "Abu" when Auntie Abi left the house. He other words include, Mom, Dad, Bob, Lala (pronounced Luuuu), help, more, please, juice, cheese, food, melon (mnnn), shoes, fish, buffy (sort of his favorite stuffed animal a blue giraffe/dinosaur thing), ball, out and others that I can't think of right now!
Favorite activities include our twice weekly play date with Auntie Ana and Baby Judah, Auntie Nad and Cohen and Lola. We usually go to the indoor play area at Northgate Community Center and he is getting very comfortable playing with the other kids and toys. His favorite is the pink,princess slide which is a little dangerous because he is often dressed in very slippery track suits that makes it very hazardous if he is alone. Another favorite is anytime Miguel and Noni are around he is a happy, happy little boy, the cousins have a love affair going on and it is really cute.
At this point in the game we haven't really settled on exactly what we will call him. I call him True Blue most of the time. Matt usually calls him Hiro Cun (pronounced coon and is Japanese for little friend). Noni calls him Baby-Head which is very funny.
All and all he is a beautiful, wonderful little boy, we enjoy him tremendously!
I will update pictures as soon as I can and thanks for reading!

Easter Outfits
Alaska Grandma carried on the Kelly tradition of buying new outfits for the grandkids. It's a little more fun with girls but the cousins were in full effect this Easter morning. They all really liked their little outfits. Baby did not want to take his tie off.
Easter Egg Hunt
A little video of Baby True, Noni and Miguel. It had been wet and rainy all day so it was kind of miserable for us adults but it went quickly. Baby quit looking after finding two and then getting really excited about the num-nums (candy)!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
