My new trick

This morning at breakfast Cole learned a new trick. He figured out how to get the tray off of the booster and play with/eat it. He was so proud of himself...such a big boy! Mealtime just got a little more interesting.

We're still here...

The last couple days have been pretty eventful...swinging, plyaing in our new slide "clubhouse" and planting planting. Yesterday Nana and Daddy had some kind of food reaction and were laid up in bed all day so the kids and I spent most of the day outside. Sammie helped me plant our new plants and Cole enjoyed some time outside on his blanket. We're on the mend now thank goodness!!!


Kissy toes.

Taking a rest in her slide clubhouse!

My little helper!

Cole's new smily face.

Nana's here

Yesterday Nana flew in and we picked her up at the airport. So exciting...Sammie loves going to the airport to see the planes and was very excited to see her Nana. It's great-like a new BFF in the house. "Nana-play with me, Nana-take me potty, Nana-help me get dressed"etc! She even told me, "Mommy, I don't want you to play with us-you go rest on the couch." I told her I had been waiting 3 years to hear those words-ha!
Cole wasn't feeling too good yesterday (those darn teeth)-hence no pictures of him. Hopefully today he's more himself.
It'll be a fun week:)


Nana daisy!

We played in the playhouse-Nana even climbed in!

We wrote stories-thanks for the new paper Nana.

And we played in the tent-Sammie refused a smile!!

Ballet

Our good friends the Crockers are always passing clothes down to us. Their daughter Karis is exactly a year older than Sammie. This last batch of clothes was a big hit not only because there were dresses (Sammie's favorite) but there were 2 tutu's!
So last night while Peter was grilling she turned into our ballet teacher...or as she calls it "valet teacher"!
Ha--it's so funny that she calls it valet. I can just picture her parking cars in this get up!
Thanks Karis!!!!

Little People, Big Boy

Happy 8 month birthday big boy. You are getting so big! We love you.


Sitting in his big boy booster.

I love my toes.

So handsome.

Cole has discovered the joy of little people!

He loves to play with them...it is so funny.

Ok, he mostly eats them all but hey-it's still play:)
