You are so Predictable

Thanks to Megamind, that has become CJ's favorite quote. He seems to never use it in the right context (except when he says my chick flicks are "so predictable", but I think he heard that one from RJ).

"It's a Boy" -the first words I heard when my second child was born. The smaller of the twins, he was 4 lbs 4 oz, and 17" long. While in NICU he dropped to 3 lbs 10 oz and battled ROP along with the typical preemie As and Bs. Boys are meant to give their moms heart attacks, right? Well, the first time I held him he stopped breathing and the nurses had to resuscitate him. It took awhile for me to be able to hold him again, but once I did, I couldn't let go. He is definitely a mama's boy and my little cuddler.

His blonde hair and big blue eyes have made him a charmer from the beginning. A nurse once commented that he reminded her of a puppet, he was all eyes. He is sensitive and always looking out for his family. From the beginning he has made it a priority to keep big sis happy. He will pretty much do anything she says and he always gives in to her. While I was on bedrest with JG, he would bring me the trash can and wipes when I was sick, brush my hair and rub my shoulders. When I cry, he cuddles up next to me. He would constantly talk to the baby in my belly and was overjoyed when JG was born. Any time she cries, he is the first one to run to her and sing or bring her a toy. He always wants to hold her and feed her.

CJ is also the future class clown. He LOVES to make people laugh (especially his sisters) and will do just about anything to make them smile. He loves baseball and is a south paw in tee-ball. He enjoys football, but also likes to hold the football for KC to kick it. He is good at darts, fooseball and video games.

I have to admire CJ's honesty. When I was pregnant and would not be "fully" dressed during the HOT summers, CJ kindly told me "Nobody wants to see that!" When I try to lay down in his bed at night, he tells me "Get out of my bed, you are going to break it!"

Some other favorite quotes-
* One day he lets out a big sigh. When I asked him what was wrong, he replied "All the girls want to marry me."
* Another time he sighs "Oh Pam" (one of my friends). He continues "She made this a walking toy and now JG is ALL OVER the place" (referring to a ride-on toy that converts to a walker).
* After having to help keep JG off the treadmill while I'm running on it- "Having a baby is hard work"

I absolutely love my little man and am so thankful that he has a servant's heart (poor boy needs it with 2 sisters!).
