Who turned the switch on?
Let me forewarn you that this is a little bit of a vent/pitty post.
I've been trying to encourage Robbie's growth and have been pretty laid back about his experimentation with discovering new things as long as there's no harm that will be done to himself, others... and my furniture. For the past couple of days Robbie has been testing my limits to the point of me breaking down in hubby's arms. We go for walks and he doesn't want to hold my hand, then he chooses to throw the ball he's holding into the street laugh at me hysterically and run the other way. I have nothing else to do except for grind my teeth and carry him home and then break down as soon as I get in the door. When I've had the same kind of issue 3 times within 4 days I just don't want to take him anywhere. My optimistic side tells me to keep doing it and he'll grow out of this phase and will start holding my hand and listening to me again but the other part of me says not to put yourself through this, you're pregnant and it's getting harder to run after and carry him.
I think someone turned on his terrible two switch and I'll do anything for someone to find the switch and turn it off!

Happy 2nd Birthday Robbie
I'll try and blog later when the monkey's asleep. I just wanted to post a couple of pictures:
Look at those earings!

BREAKING NEWS
I was in the shower and when I got out he looked me up and down (was a little awkward at one point) and then all the sudden...
Robbie: "peepee"
Mommy: "Does Robbie was to go peepee on the potty?"
Robbie: "Peepee"
So I take of his diaper, thinking he's just toying with my emotions and then all the sudden I see a stream of pee flow into the potty! HOLLY CROW... My little man just told me he wanted to pee!!! I was screaming at the top of my lungs with excitement which lead Robbie to scream with excitement, he was trying to please me with more pee and you could see him try to push out as much pee as possible so I'd kept on doing my crazy antics. When he was all done we took some toilet paper and I let him wipe his peepee and he got to put everything into the big potty and pushed the button (flushed). Afterwards we celebrated with another peepee dance which Robbie was quite happy to join in to.
I told him now he was a big boy that got to wear big boy gonchies and we said bye-bye to diapers.
So now all my plans for today have been vetoed due to my son's wonderful new news!! He's walking around in a T-shirt and Curious George undies. Next time I'm giving him money and a marshmallow!

Almost two and one more tooth!
Wow... I just realized that this will probably be my last post before my little man turns two, where has the time gone?!? It`s so depressing... we just bought him a bunch of toddler-ish furniture, gone are the days of cribs and change tables.
A couple of new Robbie favorites:
- Orange... he loves anything orange.
- Doodlebops or as he calls them "doodops"
- Tunnels. We picked up a fabric-like tunnel from Ikea and Robbie is addicted to it and always seems to want to go take us downstairs so that he can attempt to drag me and my growing belly through this blue tunnel (Colin always seems to laugh when he watches me in it)
This is actually a cowboy hat worn sideways
Robbie is slowly starting to get better with his eating habits, we had a veggie platter out and he will eat tomatoes, carrots (as long as their not thick), cucumber (some times) and he even tried red pepper (well, more like he had some dip with pepper). When we were visiting Grammie`s last week he ate really well for her too, so I was pretty happy.
Ooooo Robbie`s pretty much done with teething! HOORAY!!! He`s only got his bottom right eye tooth left. This is so exciting, teething has been a major issue with Robbie and I`m so glad that he won`t have any more bleeding blisters on his poor tush.
Robbie`s started kissing and hugging the baby. Unfortunately my belly`s starting to get in the way of my snuggles and reading time with him, hopefully he`ll have patience and will work around the little buddah belly.
