Playtime With Miss P

We got to spend the week with two of our favorite ladies, Miss P and Auntie.  She is quite fascinated with Mr. Wyatt Bear and LOVES to climb on him and touch his eyeballs...he's not too sure of this last bit, but he loves the attention.  It's always a circus in our house and three babies just adds to the fun!  We did lots of bath time, tummy time, afternoon walks, and a visit to the Nut Tree with Gigi...we can't wait for our next sleep over!

New Kicks

Little Guy got some new kicks today and I think Mommy is just as excited about how easy they are to get on as Little Guy is for the light up Percy and Thomas charms...Here he is sporting his new Lego Crocs.  We hit up the Nut Tree with Pey Pey, Auntie and Gigi but the train was already closed and all Little Guy wanted to ride was the elephant or dinosaur (tiger) but he's too little to ride on the outside so he had to settle for the rabbit.  He got to sit on the elephant after the ride and he wasn't amused when the ride didn't go and all he got to do was sit...sorry buddy, these early winter nights make everything close down early!

We've Got A Jumper

Little Guy is officially jumping out of his crib.  I thought it was a fluke the first time it happened (1/6/13 pictured below), but it's now an everyday occurrence during or after nap time.  The first time he did it I didn't see him get out of his crib, I just glanced on the monitor and saw he was not in his crib, but Olive was still laying in her bed, so I wasn't completely terrified.  I panned the room and saw him climbing on top of his dresser to get the "soap" otherwise known as lotion.  Somewhere around 10 pumps he decided he was clean enough and left the room...pretty soon I heard the baby crying and couldn't figure out what woke him up....Little Guy came down the stairs and when I went up to console the baby I couldn't open the door because the handle was too slippery- apparently Little Guy had tried to get in to the room and that alone was enough to wake the baby...During our week with Peyton, he jumped out and decided to go visit Miss P right after Auntie had spent a LONG time getting her down.  All you could hear on the monitor was him talking and her giggling before he left the room and she started wailing and he loudly informed us from the top of the stairs that Pey Pey was sad...I wonder why???  Well, now I am laying next to Little Guy until he falls asleep to assure he doesn't jump right out...oh the joys of nap time.

2014...Soda No More

2014 is going to be the year I kick soda...no soda at all for 365 days!  This may be an easy feat for some, but I CRAVE soda some days and when you've been nursing or preggos for the last three years, you've come to rely on soda to kick it up a notch when everyone else is drinking wine and you're bored with water...I know soda is something I shouldn't have and certainly don't need and after seeing the IMMEDIATE shift in swelling when I cut soda out during my last pregnancy, I am convinced that there really can't be any good that comes from my can of Coke.  Here's to an abundance of lemonade and hopefully a better water regime!

Great Train Expo

Today I took my two favorite conductors to the Great Train Expo.  I am pretty sure this may have been the best day in Little Guy's life thus far.  We arrived in Richmond after our morning naps with Little Guy all decked out in his Thomas gear and ready to see some choo choos.  The model train world is a whole different ball game, these people are serious about their trains!   Little Guy would have spent all day and night there, but Mr. Wyatt Bear was getting hungry and tired, so after three hours we had to say good bye.  It was a rough good-bye, Little Guy was quite sad to bid farewell to the hot dog train!

Half a Year Old!

Mr. Wyatt Bear is half a year old already!?!?  How is it that the happiest baby around is 6 months old today?  This mama still feels like he's brand new!!  We had his 6 month appointment and he weighed in at 17.1 pounds!  Little Guy weighed the exact same at 6 months, but Mr. Wyatt Bear appears to be chunkier- I think it's the thighs.  He weathered the shots like a champ and is still feeling a little under the weather from his cold, but 6 months looks great on this smiling guy!  Happy Half Birthday Mr. Wyatt Bear, you make our days brighter with your grin and our hearts smile with your giggle.  We love you!

Scootin' With Papa

Since it had been a whole year since Gigi and Papa had been over, they decided a post nap play date was in order.  We had spent our morning picking out a new mattress (riveting for the kiddos), so they were VERY excited to see their surprise guests when they woke up.  Little Guy and Papa took the plasma car for a spin as only they know how...double decker style!  It was a fun afternoon Gigi and Papa, but next time you don't have to wait a whole year to visit :)
