Afterthought

In the midst of posting the previous blog, I heard giggles behind me. I think I could film a never ending video of these two together and it would be fully entertaining. Boys....

:)

Its Electric!

Best Garage Sale find of the CENTURY!! I got this slide for 3, count em, 3 dollars! We are using it inside until further grass notice, and Scott is distracted and entertained endlessly! After putting him at the top of the slide 43 times and walking away, he immediately followed and wanted "up" directly followed by pointing in the slide's direction. Never had a child learned anything as fast as Scott learned how to nod when we were requiring that as a "yes, I want to go on the slide" Cute stuff!

Baby's Best Friend

He Said, He Said

Scott: woowoo

Sam: Woof Woof

Scott: I wonder if I can run over the dog with this toy?

Sam: I wonder if they will notice if the kid disappears?

Scott: Chasing the dog is funny

Sam: This is not funny

Scott: Sam is my best friend!!

Sam: Where is my best friend when I need to be saved?! DUDE!!!

Scott: giggle giggle giggle

Sam: I guess this isn't so bad ::wag wag wag::

Scott and Sam: At least I have entertainment while stuck in this house all summer!!

Mommy: At least they have entertainment while stuck in this house all summer!!

When I ___, you ___, we _____

It all started at an un-named fast food place, when Scotty's daddy handed him a cup of ketchup and a fry....
It was love at first DIP
Now, nothing can be eaten unless it is dipped in something else. Apples: peanut butter, carrots: hummus or ranch, bread: spagetti sauce, soup, etc, grilled cheese: tomato soup, and most recently bread: water (cause there was nothing else for him to dip in, and it just HAD to be dipped!) basically what im saying is; everything: anything!!!


Pros: He will eat more veggies, he is content feeding himself, and its helping with his hand/eye coordination.
Cons: Learning hand/eye coordination.

3 baths a day, anyone???

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

To my wonderful mom, grandmothers, mother-in-law, and every other woman of faith who has effected my life for the better! Happy Mommy Day!!

XOXOXOX

He might just turn into a giant raisin...

He Kicks and Splashes in it!
It is his favorite drink! (I'd even venture that he likes it more than milk...)


He runs through it, swats at it, and can't get enough of it. Removal from it is a painful, kicking/screaming fight.

But oh, the naps that result from it are FABULOUS!!

He's a Wa Wa Wa WATER BOY!! Takes after his fish of a daddy! :)

Water Baby

The official best way to wear a one year old out (or at least THIS one year old) is water!!
Scott and I played in the sun and water today, and had a great time. Scott has been unlike himself lately, which I think is from teeth giving him pain. But once distracted, he is his happy giggly, adorable self. Needless to say, Im getting creative when it comes to distractions that keep him and his runny "teething" nose away from other kids (just in case its not teeth, dont want to wipe out the entire child population of Arizona)
Scott spent all of his time trying to get the water into Sam's food scoop. When he is focused, hes focused... and SO determined!

Love that belly... and that cheesy grin!


Strike a Pose

I pulled out the camera yesterday afternoon and decided to shoot a few of Scott. It had been a while since I had pulled the camera out (for some reason, I was thinking that since we werent doing anything special there was no need for a camera. I wasnt expecting a response like this!)
Scott turned to the camera and just started making faces!!! Posing and holding still as I took a few pictures. It didnt take him long to get sick of it, but it was hillarious and AWESOME while it lasted!!





Buffet of Scott

Had a random sampling of Scott pics that were never posted over the past week or two... here they are!
Usually while Im getting ready in the morning, Scott has a little pile of cereal to snack on while he plays... EXCEPT when he gets tall enough to knock the box off of the dresser. THEN, he has a BIG pile of cereal to snack on!
Caught red-handed!!

Scott the leopard ninja!!
When something is placed on Scott's head, he immediately wants it off. As soon as it gets off, he tries to put it back on himself. Never successfully, but always cute!



Scott loves to sit in big boy chairs, and spent a good few minutes sitting next to daddy while he worked. And people wonder why kids have such a greater knowledge of technology than adults. Early training!!

Fun Tuesday



Scott and I spent the day today playing with our friends Amy and Anderson. We watched Elmo, had lunch, played with the splash pad, had wagon rides and played and played!!


Scott greeted Amy and Anderson with hugs, and Anderson wasn't as receptive to the hugs as Im sure Scott was hoping. Anderson just isnt the hugger that Scott is... :)


Seeing these two together in real life is surprising. The pictures just dont capture the size difference between these two! Its insane!!


Anderson is a "im going and doing, let me be" kind of kid, and Scott is a "I want to be where he is doing what hes doing" kind of kid... so its funny to watch them. Scott chasing Anderson around. Anderson secretly likes being the COOL KID!
We had a great day, and Scott was TUCKERED out by the time we were done!
