Wes Side Story...

Today I decided I'm going to make a few lists... things I like, things I don't like, things that stress mommy out, things I'm learning, etc...

1) Things I don't like:

Mommy making me play outside in the bright sun (my eyes are sensitive and it's hard to see or do anything out there)

ANYONE holding me down... or any part of me down
OT and PT, enough said... Speech Therapy isn't far behind
Rolling over
Anything sticky or gooey or cold or warm on my hands... why does mommy keep putting yucky stuff on them???

Being left alone in a room

2) Things I'm learning:

How to pick up things at will with my left hand
How to use my pincher fingers to pinch and pick up things (I'm just starting to figure this out)
How to reach with my right hand (although in the end, my left is just so much more accurate and interesting)
How to pull on my G-tube... it's within perfect reach of my newly cooperative left hand

How to lay like a noodle on either side when mommy tries to make me roll to my belly
How to lock my mouth shut and turn my head whenever someone tries to put something in there

3) Things I hate:

Laying on my belly, period
Gagging... once it starts it just won't stop and I spend the two+ minutes heaving and drooling then another two+ minutes recovering
When mommy or daddy try to put clothes on over my head!!!
Getting OUT of my car seat... as soon as mommy or daddy undo my straps I make it as HARD as possible to pull me out
Mommy wiping my face off after she lets me get all gooey and sticky in the high chair

4) Things mommy hates:

When I scoot my butt as she tries to make me roll to one side (this is a skill move that takes lots of practice but I had to find a way to make her stop twisting me!)
When I throw a fit if she even TRIES to touch my cheeks or put anything in my mouth (hey what can I say, whenever anything touches my mouth/throat that nasty gagging things starts... I'm just protecting myself)
When I lean to my right side and fall over if she makes me sit by myself
When I throw a fit on my belly without even trying it for a minute
When I pee everywhere right as she takes my diaper off
When I poop through a brand new diaper right after she puts it on me :)

5) Things I like:

My puppy dog Aston, he's so funny when he whines and stares at me
Being bounced and thrown up in the air, mommy says I'm a dare-devil
Flying in the air, daddy calls it "Flying Wesley" and I LOVE it
Music and singing
Long walks outside with mommy and my puppy
My left hand.... it is so interesting and tastes SO good
Sitting in my exersaucer turtle and watching cartoons
Baths
The music boxes in my cribs/beds... they are so hypnotizing

Hanging out with my music box

Wasn't as tired as mommy thought

Pocoyo, he's my favorite cartoon
Snuggling with a blanket or doll as I go to sleep

ATTENTION FROM ANYONE!

Mommy took some pictures of my torturous high chair food adventures this week... she gave me oatmeal yesterday and rice cereal today. I really don't like it when she puts that yucky stuff on my hands, but after a couple minutes I don't notice so much anymore and her and I make a nice big mess on my chair :)
