10 Things our 10 month old is doing

1.) Bear crawling...or as we call it the 'one legged crazy crawl'

2.) Drinking like mad out of his sippy cup as if it were his last drink.

3.) Spitting...sticking tongue out and blowing This is non-stop fun and a recent discovery.

4.) Crawling around the house pushing a ball. In this pic he got distracted by the rug.

5.) He is getting 4 top teeth at the same time. He is in a decent mood considering...OUCH...I tried to get a picture, but it wasn't happening!

6.) Playing peekaboo, again...all the time.

7.) Pulling up to standing on whatever will hold him. Even if it is one of the dogs. (wish I had a picture)

8.) waving at himself~as you see I couldn't get a picture of this

9.) babbling like crazy

10.) eating everything in site~no pic necessary, he'd probably eat it.

He is so cute and fun, and as busy as I am having two kids is great because they are so silly together! I can't imagine having only 1, but 2 is enough!!

Busy Busy Busy

We had a GREAT weekend. It was fun, and super busy and I am so sleepy! I finally downloaded the new software onto my computer so I could add the pictures we took this weekend. Our new Canon Rebel XSi camera is awesome. It has a fun extra lens that I LOVE!! It takes great shots, and we took 300 pictures...good grief. Here is one of the kiddos...I'm off to bed! Hope you had a great weekend :) More tomorrow!

I LOVE my new camera! We are currently working out the kinks....so new pics are in the near future...stay tuned!

I wanted to post a sweet recipe because I really want something sweet, but I'm not letting myself have anything 'bad' right now. I am working really hard to get in shape for summer! So you guys can try this recipe and let me know what you think!! I made this so many times last year, and I remember posting it, but I didn't realize it was so close the same date as last year! Enjoy :)

Splishin' & a Splashin' & the Phone Ring a Dingin'

HC wasn't to happy about the slip n slide. I guess the water was WAY too cold for him. It was for me when I had to show LK how a slip n slide works. All I have to say for myself is OoUCHh. I'm so glad no one was around to see my demonstration. I think I threw my back out when I slid about (only) 2 inches. That isn't really the way I had planned to "know what I was doing." TeeHee!!
Kickity~kick...splish~splash.

HC seems better, sister is pretty fun the watch. BUT nope...

he decided---I'm outahere!

His crazy bear crawl makes me giggle. He only does it on the grass and tile; otherwise he crawls on his knees. His little swim shorts are goofy. They hang off his little hips, a couple of times I thought he was going to loose them. Geez...LK was really concerned that he wasn't wearing a shirt. That will be a whole other blog post.

He decided to take his frustrations out on mommy's phone...until it rang!

You should have seen him jump.

Mommy it's for you...now it seems as though I have 2 personal assistants.
