He nose it

Little Guy loves a good tumble, or atleast I have to assume he does since he does it all day long.  Today was an extra special tumble, a feat not accomplished by many...a tumble with no hands!  That's right, while visiting our friends at Nelda Mundy, Little Guy decided a handless face plant would be a good way to make himself at home.  We made sure his nose wasn't broken, thanks to Fire Fighter Brian, and I thought that was the end of it...well, as the day went on, the nose got worse and worse...


Little Guy's battle wound.  Carpet: 1, Little Guy: 0



SVU

We had a close call with our bargain shopping today.  Okay, some might not call it a close call, but it had some Law and Order:SVU potential (wouldn't we love an Elliot/Liv reunion!!)...I came across a used cozy coup on my Facebook bargains page (that's a dangerous obsession hobby on its own!) and lucky me, it was available for pick up.  We quickly set up a post-nap time rendez-vous and after a few texts, I had an address and was good to go.  Fast forward two hours, I arrive at the spot, only to be met with a vacant house and no cozy coup anywhere...we returned home empty handed only to be texted that they were now home...we arrived at the house again, and she goes to her car to get it- the car she said she didn't have earlier in the day, hence us having to drive to her...I was pretty sure that our house was being robbed or we were being set up for potential robberies while I was traipsing across town.  Good news, we weren't robbed and Little Guy has a cozy coup to zoom around in...

It IS a conspiracy!

I knew it!!!  In case you've missed it, I've had a challenging time of late in regards to misplacing Little Guy's stuff.  I can't wait until he's big enough to be responsible for his own things, then I can blame someone else when everything winds up missing!  While giving Little Guy his nightly bath, I noticed an amber necklace on the bathroom counter...Hark, I think Rochelle must have found it while cleaning today and I make a mental note to thank her!  Fast forward to the hubby strolling in from his trip to Pac Bell Park- I inform him of the great news, one necklace has been recovered...he asks me if it was behind the picture frame in the bathroom...Ummm, yes it was and how did you know that??  He can barely contain his laughter as he pulls out the other missing necklace that he had found on Thursday at my parents' house.  He's not a fan of the necklaces, so he figured he'd just forget to mention it...I told him I just may forget to only put one necklace on Little Guy from now on... I say two will be twice as effective anyways!  On a non-conspiracy side note- we had our final dose of the one year shots today, Little Guy was an absolute trooper!

  He was pooped after his shots and he needed to cuddle with his mommy.  How could I not LOVE nap time with this sweet angel!?!  And after naps we ran errands, this included a stop for some chocolate ice cream.

Road Trip!!!!

We took a short road trip this weekend!  The drive wasn't short, but the destination time was.  We traveled up to Oregon to BBQ with some of Daddy's work associates.  Little Guy did an AMAZINGLY awesome job in his car seat all the way through Redding, Weed, the Oregon/California border and then finally on to Fort Klamath.  I only snapped a few photos of him in his new party time get-up.  It was super cute, and would have been even cuter if he had worn his darling winter coat...he wanted nothing to do with the coat and would only wear his little sweatshirt in the 30 degree weather.  Some highlights for Little Guy included picking up and putting down pine cones, watching big trucks drive by, and eating his monthly share of bananas.  The cutest moment of the trip???  Little Guy bending down to hug all the old dogs at the BBQ, he was too sweet with the senior puppies.

All ready with his new clothes and Merrels

Knock Knock Knock, who's in there?



Six and counting

We've got six teeth ladies and gentlemen!  Little Guy's top right tooth broke through, giving him a total of four across the top and two on the bottom!  Now his mommy just needs to find his teething necklace she misplaced last night...that's our third necklace (I am beginning to think my husband is behind these lost necklaces, but he is maintaining his innocence...)  Cutting teeth is a tough job, so it worked out well that by default we spent the day relaxing at home.  EVERYONE we know is sick, and not the sniffly kind of sick, the yucky bathroom kind of sick, so we stayed home, alone, where it's germ free...only after dark did we venture out for great grandma's birthday.  It was a yummy fun time and then right before we left, Little Guy threw up!  Not to worry though, it seems it was just too much delicious food.   Phew, we dodged that bullet!

Little Guy HATED being in the pack and play with Brayden, but we snapped a picture anyways!

Pumpkin Patch Pals

We love our Tuesday playgroup- we've made great friends (both Little Guy and Mommy) and it's always a highlight to see what yummy snacks are being made!  We decided we were finally ready to venture outside the comfort of Tuesdays, so we took our first big playgroup field trip today to the local pumpkin patch.  Little Guy looked quite the part with his scary spider tee.  Our trip was a smashing success- we rode the ATV train, hit up the new duck pond, went down the slide a gazillion times, ate a picnic lunch and even left with a perfect little pumpkin.  Naturally, when you have six mamas, you're going to have a few photos taken...

Getting a photo with both of us looking is next to impossible...

Deep in thought

Just chillaxin' while he waits for the train ride to start.

All the mamas and their boys, plus little Miss Maddy!

Liquid Gold

What a difference amoxicillin makes!  After just one dose, we are feeling SOOOO much better!  Little Guy's doctor got him feeling all better with an inhaler and some of the good pink stuff!  So after some much needed doctor TLC and a long nap, we headed out to oak-town!  We tailgated with the boys, hoping to help cheer the A's to a do or die victory!  We had a great time with Daddy, g'ma, g'pa, Uncle Brian and even Uncle Mike from Indiana.  Wouldn't you believe it...only a few cars down from us was a HUGE bunch of balloons.  I am pretty sure I made 87 trips trips down there in between hot dogs and lamb chops.  Tailgating was great, but we left the gaming to the big boys.  We headed home for our warm beds and instant replay- and it's a good thing we did, because we got to re-watch the A's victory over and over!  Two more to go!!!

We were so nervous that Little Guy would make a break for it and be running loose in the parking lot...good thing we had a spare dog leash in our car.  I've never been a fan of the child leash, but I think this just brings it to a whole new level.

Little Guy and two of his favorite great uncles.  Uncle Mike is always bringing the crazy from Indiana and there's Uncle Brian being suckered led to the balloons.
