sweet sweet boy

every month since caedmon was 3 months, i have found myself saying "this is my favoritemonth." (months 1-3 were hard and most definitely not my favorite months)

but this is definitely my favorite so far.  i love watching his little mind work and hearing the things he comes up with.  i could watch that little face all day (if it weren't for laundry-which is apparently my favorite hobby since i spend so much time on it).  

caedmon had pink eye last week and this week hand-foot-mouth...we think-he's had fever but rash hasn't shown up yet...but that's what he was exposed to, so that is what we are assuming.  he's been a pretty good sport about all the olive leaf, garlic and silver biotics i've been filling him with.  he has been such a good sport, especially with the pink eye (which i have to rave on silver biotics...cleared that up within 48 hours but made 85% difference in less than 24!)  he woke up one morning afternoon, noon to be exact, with both eyes completely crusted together.  i walk in his room to find him just sitting in his crib, eyes closed, just patiently waiting on me.  "caedmon, do you need mommy to clean your eyes?"  "YEP" and feels for the crib, stands up and reaches for me.  i sat him on the sink and started cleaning with warm water and as he could open them little by little he'd say "i can see you mom! i can see you!" and when he got one eye open completely he said "i did it!"  so sweet. i tear up just thinking about how sweet he was in what could have been a terrifying moment for a 2 year old (or anyone for that matter, i think i might freak out if i woke up and couldn't open my eyes.)  i love that kid!

some cute conversations we've had lately:

c: "hey mama, are you kiddin' me?"

me: "no, are you kiddin' me?"

c: "no, i not kiddin you!"

when i walked into his room one morning:

c: "is that mama? yep that looks just like mama!  is that daddy? NO, that doesn't look like daddy!"

this morning we were talking to daddy on the phone and wherever he was was really windy:

me: "are you in a tornado?"

c: "no he's not a tomato, mommy, he's a BOY!"

and what's a post without pictures of the boy everyone comes to read about?!

this time last year.  my favorite face.

my silly boy who does not like to cooperate for the camera.

chef caedmon!  he much prefers "fixin" his kitchen over cooking!
