I can do it

Theo has been, how do you say, a fussy eater as of late.

He's obviously hungry and will eat some things from a spoon or fork..... but only a couple of bites and then he turns his head. He really only likes to feed himself puffs, cheerios, etc until today. I dumped out his mac & cheese and green beans and let him go to town. He got frustrated with me at first, like "just feed it to me mom!!", and then started grabbing away. The green beans went like hotcakes and I even refilled his tray twice. Let the fun (and mess) begin!

Turkey and Goose

That's what I call my boys these days.  Silly goose and wild turkey.  Pretty much sums them up perfectly.  I went on a trip to Houston this weekend without the boys to visit my friend, Jen and my parents.  Dave stayed behind with the boys.  I snapped these pictures when I got home.  Theo holds his own bottle now and it sure does make it easy for me!  He'll take a sippy cup, but only if it's juice.  The kid LOVES his bottle.  Oh well, he won't go to kindergarten with it....

Here are a few shots of the boys in their new (and matching) LSU shirts.  My preppy little boys!

Mommy's new project - edited for site!!!!

I ordered 16x20 canvas prints of some of my favorite pictures of the boys.  One made it into the playroom and the others landed in the boys' bathroom.  Jack sleeps with his door open now so I couldn't really get the best picture of what it looks like.  The top pic is of Jack as a baby in our old house and the bottom is of Theo sporting a mohawk.  I love how they look in the bathroom!!

I got the canvases from a company called up done.  They were great and their prices are way cheaper than anyone else!!!

Hey cuz!

Katie and baby Elise came over to visit yesterday.  She's an absolute doll and I enjoyed holding a little baby (compared to Theo, that is) again.  Theo was napping when they got here and was very curious about his little cousin once he woke up.   He crawled right over to her and touched her hair.  I'm sure he would have pulled it if I didn't move him away.  He was equally as curious about Katie's piece of cake.... 

The joy of cooking..

and eating :)  Jack loves to help me cook.  He got to do so much cooking at Cedarwood camp that he wants to continue that at home.  He is a big fan of cereal these days and enjoys drinking the milk up from the bowl.  I need to get those bowls with straws attached!!

Ain't no mountain high enough...

For Theo to reach.  The child is into EVERYTHING!  We had to put more cabinet locks on today.  We had a couple of open cabinets for Jack when he was about this age.  Well, curious George was just a little too curious.  He's cruising like crazy on anything and everything.  He's driving his brother batty now that he can reach more and more toys.  I think he'll be right on target and walking by his birthday!

Grocery store fun

Our grocery store got some new carts.  Stop the press, I know.  It does make my life easier since the boys can 1) sit together, 2) not touch anything!!!.  The drawback is the itty bitty cart.  Oh well, can't have everything right?
