Happy Valentine's Day!

I got the boys some balloons from the grocery this morning and had to snap a quick pic of my littlest Valentine. He loves to look at the balloons. He's quite the stud muffin, considering this onesie is size 12-18 months........

Holy sh@&!

This is what I discovered after coming home from Weds. night dinner at church tonight. Theo was a fuss-monster but I just thought it was b/c he was tired. No no, he had a job to do. I unhooked him from his carrier and felt the mess........ it was everywhere...... himself, me, the straps, the buckle, his onesie, everywhere. All the while Jack was whining about something..... Oh it was one of those motherhood moments where you wonder if you're cut out for it all. Needless to say, I'm very familiar with how to take apart the contraption that is the infant carrier and it's being cleaned as I write this entry. Theo got a bath, Jack got the milk he wanted, and I am next in line for a shower.......

Grabby hands

Theo loves to sit at the table with us, even if he's not eating (which let me tell you is not often). I saw this suction toy to put on his lap tray and he really went to town with it! He's got great hand-eye coordination for a 5 month old! I also cleaned out my pantry today and now have a place for the gazillion cans of Enfamil that I'm stocking up. What can I say, Target had them on sale and those things aren't cheap!!!

Trailer for two

Dave and I really enjoy riding bikes in Mandeville, especially since our city has a nice (and shaded) bike trail that rides to Abita Springs (which is about 10 miles up the road). It's been about a year since we last rode bikes...... since I got too big pregnant to do it any longer. Soon after Theo was born we got this fancy bike trailer that fits both boys. It has a cargo area (which came in really handy when Theo fell asleep) and is really shaded. We parked our car and rode to Abita and ate lunch, then rode back and went to a park and let Jack run around and play. I think everyone had a great time and we certainly enjoyed the gorgeous weather!

Daddy art time

As many of you may know (or not), Dave is a great artist. Jack seems to be following in his footsteps and loves to draw.... especially with his daddy!

Joe Cool

I took the boys to the zoo Wednesday. The weather couldn't have been more pleasant and it left me wishing our weather was this nice year round. I'm so not looking forward to venturing out in July and August again. Ugh. It was bright outside so I put Jack's sunglasses on Theo. Just a little too big still..... even for senor big head.

Jack was sweet the other day when Theo was fussing in his carseat. He brought his brother a book and started to "read" it to him. He even brought a baby book! Awww. I tried out some wrist rattles on Theo to see if they'd entertain him, which they sort of did, for a second. He mostly just stares out of the window in the backseat when I'm driving, or looks at his brother!

Bath time fun

Theo is still a little wobbly for the ring bath seat as of yet, so I figured why not try out the bumbo seat? It's plastic and he sits up well in it........ Theo spent the whole time looking at his brother. He is continually amazed by Jack. I may just keep bathing Theo in his baby tub for now, but the days are numbered........ he's outgrowing it fast!
