Messy messy!

Theo is lovingly called the "filthy baby" these days, especially at meal time.  He loves nothing more than to run his hands through his hair when he's eating.  It's really fun to clean up........ but it's all part of development.  Right?

6 pack

I met up with some old grad school friends today.  One just moved back to the New Orleans area and the other is home visiting from Germany!  We have 6 boys between the 3 of us!  My friend Ellen (the one that lives in Germany) is pregnant with her 3rd child and we'll soon see if the boy legacy will continue!  Kara's 5 year old son took a group photo of the girls and you see how that turned out.  Not much of Kara's face is showing :)  Theo was a trooper in the car all day.  I ran errands from the time I dropped off Jack at school to the time we picked him up.  I got him a new picture book for the car ride to the beach this weekend.

Thanks for calling me up Kara and Ellen!!  I enjoyed seeing your boys and catching up!

Ducky Joe's

Jack did great at his first day of school!  He made a friend named Shaffer and they played for over an hour together.  He got out at noon today and of course if was raining here.  We made the best of it and met Madeline and Blake at an indoor play area called Ducky Joe's.  Jack had an absolute blast, especially with his friend Madeline.  They have energy to spare and play so well together.  Theo crawled all over the place and pulled up on anything and everything.  He's like the little dog that doesn't realize that he's little.   Thanks for the fun day Madeline and Blake!!

I've made the decision to make this blog open only to invited readers.  As the boys get older, I'm putting more and more information on here that makes it too open (in my opinion).   Please email me at lhadskey@gmail.com if you know of someone that would like to read this blog that you don't think I invited.  I know some of your family members or friends like to check on this blog even though I don't know them personally and I'm fine with that.  I just don't want to be googled and have any old stranger know so much about my family!

Thanks!

Eh

Theo's obsession with his picture book continues....  He loves to flip the pages until he finds his other obsession, our cat Elliott.  He'll point to the picture and say "eh" for Elliott.  It's amazing how much more verbal he is now that he can hear us!  Shocking right? 

His other words are dada, a version of dada for Jack Jack, hi, uh oh and now Eh.  Theo also signs more, up, milk and all done.  

1st day at Cedarwood

Jack started his new school today and..... there were no tears!  We met his teachers on Monday and they were very sweet.  He warmed up to them quickly and even gave them a hug when we left.  He has 12 other kids in his class and it's evenly split between boys and girls.  

Here my big boy is putting on his socks and shoes this morning.  He gets himself completely dressed now.  He's growing up so fast!

We stopped by the LSU campus on our way home from Lafayette yesterday. Dave's parents got us all bricks in front of the mascot's habitat for Christmas and we wanted to see them. Too bad that we didn't plan ahead and look up where they were located before we left. Ooops. We found Jack's only b/c he got it about 3 years ago and we had been to visit it before. Oh well, the boys had fun seeing the new tiger despite the heat. We just couldn't bare the sun to find our bricks. Poor Theo will just have to wait to see his brick :)
