Tiny Trouble...

I tried gettingthe picture of what he was doing ..which was climbing into the laundry basket under the table. He still fits under the table just has to duck under the edge . He also likes to knock the kitchen chairs over and climb on them. Nothing like making your own obstacle course.

Library Time

We returned books but had to have fun playing. Jonathan climbed into this and Andrew finshed it so he couldn't get out. Jonathan was NOT happy about this and cried


Rocking away.....

Don't Like Socks!!!!

Before he fell asleep he had to take them off I guess. He takes them off anyways and warms them on the heat duct.

Another Badge From Cubs Scouts....

Andrew got his Wolf Badge at Tuesdays Cub Scout Meeting

Checking out the News

Lets see whats in the paper today.....

Oh..it gives me a headache!!!

Checking out the Sea Lions

Andrew taking a break on the benches... Jonathan thought it was cool to pick up ice...in fact letting him out and waking around like this he liked finding the snow banks and play in them...

The Little Explorer

First time we've come that Jonathan was able to walk around and check things out. He LOVED watching the ducks swim by.....
and seeing the water fall

not to mention touching the plants....He had a GREAT TIME

The Zoo In January.......

I don't think I've eveer been to the Buffalo zoo in the month of January....It was nice here so what the heck we went. After that real bad cold spell the 40's seem balmy. OK not really....Andrew wanted to see how the polar bears were liking the weather. He was disappointed he wasn't swimming but his swimming hole was iced over pretty good.....

The tropical rainforest was still really warm in there and we got rained on with mist.....

Another Mall

Jonathan liked this mall...there were toys!!! They had a little Fisher Price toy playland.. Some he had and others I wouldn't get him now as he would just climb them...but this one with the door, was a favorite. I think he could have spent hours playing with this toy soley.

Me!?!? On The President's List!?!

I guess I can gloat a little.....The other day I got home and this was in the mail. I knew I did good last semester and NO ONE asked me how I did. I'm just going along and almost done with the program and this was a bit of a bonus and a surprise. The presidents list is a full time student with a GPA of 3.75 or better. Not bad having 2 (sometimes it feels like 3) kids to take care of. Does this make up for me being a raving lunatic some nights as I was stressed!?!? Maybe.

There's Happy Baby in His Crib!!!

Its bed time ......he's happier when he goes to bed than when he wakes up. Of course Andrew was entertaining him in there....That's Jonathan's crawl toy and Andrew loves to pretend its a fort. So he'll sit in there and not let Jonathan in or attack him with one of his stuffed bears... Till I yell at him to be nice to him and remind him its Jonathan's toy not his. Jonathan doesn't care as he attacks the bears anyway and will scream at Andrew if he doesn't let him in.

Little Curls.....

His hair is finally getting long in the back....it curls up like this. I don't want to cut this as its so cute all curled up

There's Andrew

Stopping long enough to take a picture and to bother our brother....

I'm hiding in here...... and he shut the door.... till other kids came in.

Climbing and Playing

Andrew took off and played so its hard to get pictures of him but this one I have to be on constantly as he's so little. Even in the toddler bounce house he almost had a kid land on him. I thought he would climb more but he was too busy taking it all in

Here's a Favorite ....

Andrew liked this one and especially when I climbed it to take Jonathan on it. Jonathan loved sliding down it. He had a HUGE smile on his face when he did. The other mother were impressed I got up there easily as the others all had trouble.

Bouncing Fun!!

I took Andrew to a place to bounce out some energy. He was bored within 10 minutes and wanted to play Nintendo DS. Yeah we are getting to the age that stilling and watching cartoons and playing video games is all we want to do. Jonathan loved the place sort of. He wanted to participate but it was chao there and the poor little guy almost got knocked over by countless kids not paying attention and running

Climbing Climbing......

Where there are stair Jonathan is sure to check them out.......
Everybody sees him asks me how old he is and I thought by now the novelty of a tiny tot walking would were off since we are nearing his birthday but its not as he walks/runs extremely well for 11 months old and the next question is did he crawl!?! Of course he crawled you mean every baby doesn't start crawling at 5 months old!?!? But after thinking about it, Andrew started crawling at the same age when this one started walking. He had no fear going over the rope bridge , he just doesn't like going down steps (a wonderful fear to have!)
