Ten Fingers and Ten Toes...Which Should I Eat First?

Cami is completely obsessed with her fingers and toes. It's almost a bit ridiculous. She is constantly chewing and sucking on them. Her clothes are filled with slobber and saliva from constantly eating her hands and feet. I have never seen a baby with such an obsession.



This morning I heard Cami over the monitor playing so I look (we have a video monitor...worth it's weight in gold!) and she is stuffing her hands in her mouth so I get up go to the bathroom and when I come out I hear coughing. I look in the monitor and there is a pile of throw up next to her head. I think, CRAP!!! She has the freakin' stomach bug...but no, she made herself vomit because she stuck her hands too far down her throat! So now I have to start my morning off with cleaning up vomit and Cami of course needs a bath because it is in the little hair she has. Great.

Enter Brayden. Pick Cami up out of the vomit and go to get Brayden so we can go bath Cami downstairs in the sink (She is still little enough for the sink...which is so much better on the back than the tub). We go into Brayden's room and I put Cami on her tummy so as not to get vomit on Brayden's carpet. Brayden says to me, "Mommy, Brayden went poopy." Fantastic...first vomit, now poop...what a wonderful way to start the morning. I just had to laugh. Monday morning...7:00 am...so far I have cleaned up vomit sheets, vomit baby and changed a toddler poop (not pretty). The funny thing is...I wouldn't trade this life for the world. Love the kiddos and all their craziness. They make my life interesting. In fact, without the kiddos...this blog would be rather dull or may not even exist.

Here's some pics from today so you can see why I love being their mommy so much, even if it means cleaning up bodily fluids way too early in the morning.

Omigosh, I'm so impressed with your blogging skills! Some of the more gruesome ones have terrified me to my toes.
