The cutest thing ever!

Outfit courtesy of his Maw Maw!

Yesterday when I got home with the kids, I threw my bags inside and then took the kiddos on a walk.  Half an hour later I walk in and the power is off.  Yuck!  So I grab the chicken I thawed out and some stuff to make dinner and headed out to my mom's house.  On my way there, I get a call that the power was back on.  I am almost at my mom's so I went ahead and cooked there.  I packed the food up and headed back home an hour later.  I was almost home... and .... you guessed it- the power was back off!  Grrrr!  So I drop dinner off with hubby at the house and pack a bag, and the kiddos and I go back to my mom's.  So much for having a productive evening!  But, I did learn that Rickybear is a huge fan of running around in the dark with a flashlight.  He was hysterical and it was such a treat to watch him.

From all angles

Just wanted to document how all around adorable my kid is.  Even when he cried for an hour last night because I couldn't hold him constantly. Even when I had to sing every baby song I could think of for half an hour while he hiccuped in my arms and finally fell asleep, even when he had gas in the middle of the night, and even when he woke up at 4:30am ready for the day to start.

But look... baby bodies are so perfect.  It's amazing what they can do.  I am thankful every day of how happy and healthy this kid is, just as Ricky was. 

Sketti love

My mom and I did some freezer cooking on Saturday and one thing we made was meatballs. We had already given my dirty boy his bath when he decided that he did want spaghetti after all.  Oy!  But he loved it, so I guess it was worth the mess.

Oh, and he loves naming the pictures on his plate!  He will point out Elmo, apples, banana, etc.  He knows too many words.  That's his favorite plate!

Wordless Wednesday

Carterbug is ROLY POLY nowadays. 

He rolled over from back to belly for the first time on Friday 3/16/12 and now he won't stop.

I am paranoid because he wants to sleep on his tummy now and this mama is NOT cool with that!

My son has some serious manners....

... can't you tell?

Happy St. Patty's Day!

I have a little Irish on both sides of my family, so my sons have a little, too.  They spent the day with me at Nana's while daddy worked hard on the bathroom tiles at home. 

Loving the weather!

I am loving the warm weather and the time change.  I can get home early enough to actually spend some time outdoors.  On Tuesday, I put Carter in the wrap and strapped Ricky into the stroller and we walked the neighborhood.  Yesterday Iset Carter on the front sidewalk so Ricky could play in the lawn, but he really wanted to go out, so I conceeded and pulled out the wagon.  It wasn't exactly ideal, but Ricky held onto Carter really well!  Good grief, I am sure I got some strange looks....
