Elise Patricia is here!!!

Cousin Katie had baby Elise this morning around 9 am. She weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz and is cute as a button. We can't wait to meet her soon!! I was supposed to bring Katie a meal today, but it looks like I'll be bringing it when I visit the baby!!

Waterspouts

I took the boys to the waterspouts today. It was Theo's first trip and he seemed to enjoy himself. He really just sat in the stream of water and chewed on a cup, but hey, he didn't move around and I didn't have to chase him! Yet. Jack had such a blast and stomped on the button that turns the water on over and over (he let other kids do it last year). When Theo had had enough, we just sat on a towel and watched Jack run around. I'm sure we'll be going a lot this summer!

Yummy sno cone

The weather was just beautiful yesterday so we had our Mother's Day feast outside on the porch. Jack ran around and Theo slept while we ate. Once we finished and Theo was up, Dave made us sno cones........ you can see who enjoyed them the most! Theo's was only ice with a touch of syrup, but he was like a baby bird, opening his mouth for more! When we were all done, Jack and Dada practiced writing more letters and numbers.

First trip to the pool!

We had some down time after breakfast and decided to take the boys to the pool. The temp. this morning was a balmy 78 degrees, so we knew the water was plenty warm. Jack was timid at first, but quickly remembered the joys of jumping into the water. He got a kickboard for his birthday and had fun using it. Theo made use of the baby float that I got back in the days of baby Jack. He was pretty content to suck his thumb and look around. He got tired quickly though and he had to call it quits. Our pool is close by, so Theo sat in Jack's seat on the way home and Jack got to sit up front with us! Fun stuff!

Crepes for mommy!

Dave got up extra early this morning to whip up a delicious breakfsast for me! He made 3 different types of crepes for me and even brought a mimosa :) I ate some of it in bed and then joined my boys in the living room for the rest. Happy Mother's day to all my mommy friends out there.

Theo!! No!!!

I've been saying this phrase a lot today. Theo crawled right over to our cable box and DVD player and started touching it (lovely). Then, I started feeding him dinner and thought "I should grab the camera". While I stepped away to get it, he grabbed his food off my placemat. We re-inacted it for the blog. He's a stinker and Aunt Jen would be pleased to know that he's every bit the grabbykins like his cousin.....

Going, going.......

Gone. Yep, Theo is mobile. Has been for about a week now. He does this weird caterpillar movement to get around. Not an army crawl like Jack did. It's funny to watch, but let me tell ya, he can get around doing it. I manage to keep him near the green blanket by enticing him back with toys, merely b/c he's our resident spiter and I'd rather throw the blanket in the wash than clean the carpets everyday. Don't think I'll be pulling that off much longer though....... so I bought a carpet cleaner!
