He looks like me

Everyone thinks Little Guy looks just like his daddy, everyone that is but his daddy.  The resemblance was the first thing I noted after he was born.  Today my husband saw this picture and FINALLY agreed that Little Guy does look identical a little bit like him.

Wednesday Wrap Up

The rain is finally here!!  Rainy days make for long naps.  Daddy came home yesterday and snuggled up with Little Guy for a TWO AND A HALF hour nap.

Try as she might, Olive cannot escape Little Guy's torturous tugs loving pats.  Here is Little Guy and his BFF:

We're back

It is literally minutes until the IT guy is supposed to be here, and as I sit down at the computer to get ready, I try one last time to load my blog...it works!  Then I try my downloads, finished in seconds.  The printer, no problem!  Everything is back up and running.  Funny how that works, right when help is on the way.  Fingers crossed that was just a little bump in the road and everything is back to normal for good!

Technology...

I love to hate it.  Right now I am having a battle with both my mac and pc; the computers are winning.  Without countless craft blogs, this blog, Facebook, Photoshop, picnik, baby blogs, and other general time sucking programs on said computers, I am left to sweep, mop, and clean my house…that is unless Little Guy is awake, then we get to play.  He wasn’t in the mood to nap this afternoon (thanks daylight savings), and I wasn’t in the mood to clean, so we kept each other company.  He is enamored with my humorous ways (I always knew I was funnier than people were letting on) and his giggle makes me HAPPY!  Hopefully my computers will get over whatever it is that is making them S.O. S.L.O.W. and Little Guy will get back into his napping routine.  Here are a few photos from the weekend. Again, with the technology wars I am currently waging, I wasn’t able to post them.

All dressed up for our church outing.

Post church debacle…Venti hot chocolate spilled in the white
laundry…you can cry over spilled milk, I now know this.

You know you're a mommy when...

you FINALLY lie down in bed, stretch out your legs, and feel this under your sheets:

Little Guy has a small fortune in toys (thanks to his grandparents and doting auntie and uncles), but when there's cardboard around, watch out.  No light up, singing, bouncing, dancing toy could compare to good 'ol cardboard.  And thanks to mommy's habitual occasional online shopping, there seems to always be cardboard treasures in our house.

Little Guy's wardrobe choices have multiplied since starting cloth diapers...he can now fill out the 6-12 month pants with the help of the padded fluff.  He broke out this new outfit today and it was PRECIOUS!

It was yet another BEAUTIFUL "spring" day...we need rain, but I just don't want to give up bubble time on the grass.

We love our busy boy

As Little Guy continues to get so close to crawling, he has discovered he can do something else.  He gets on all fours, rocks back and forth (MANY times), then pulls his feet right up to his hands, rolls back onto his bottom, and sits up.  It doesn't translate well to writing, but essentially he goes from a crawling position to sitting- sitting isn't new, but getting into the sitting position unassisted is!  Every time he discovers something new to do, he has that much LESS of an interest in being still, or even just laying on his back for thirty seconds to get his diaper changed...oh what a busy baby we love!

Photo Challenge Fail

Well, after four days I realized that pretty much no matter what the theme is for the daily photo, I am going to find a way to make it a photo of Little Guy.  So instead of trying to "fit" Little Guy into the theme, I am throwing the challenge out and just snapping preciousness when I see it, like here:

Along with throwing out the photo challenge, here's what we've been up to the last few days:

1.  Still going strong with our cloth diapers...anxiously awaiting the arrival of four more diapers so I won't be doing diaper laundry five times a day...that's a SLIGHT exaggeration, but it will be nice to have a few spares.

2.  We are THIS CLOSE to finishing up this stretch of home improvement projects.  We had the stucco down last weekend, we're getting ready to have the house painted, and the pool should be plastered by Friday...I can't wait to see it all come together.

3.  "Goodnight Gorilla" and "Guess How Much I Love You" have entered our bedtime story rotation.  Little Guy and Daddy enjoy their reading time before bed, although Daddy questions the authors and their silly story lines, i.e. "Why do the animals all take baths, get on their pajamas AND THEN go up to exercise?"  He'll have to Sandra Boynton that one.

That about sums up our highlights from the last few days.  I have a few art projects in the works and Little Guy is still THIS CLOSE to crawling, so I am sure I'll have pictures and videos up soon!
