Outside Time

Nick really does have some of the best facial expressions.

Falling into the sandbox.

'Hmmm, what to do, what to do...'

'I know! I'll move dirt from one side of the yard, to the other!'

That tongue! I think he was using it to mess with the suspect bonus tooth!

For Good Measure

We'll throw in a picture of Monster. It isn't very often that I get a good picture of her.

Brutus

Nick is a beast these days. He's actually on the small side for his age (25th percentile for weight and height), but he is built like a linebacker.

In this picture you can kind of see the suspected bonus tooth (that is also crooked).

They may look chubby, but those legs are solid.

And a wide stance. He's not necessary bow-legged, but he does have a really wide stance. Not that that helps with stability, though.

It might be blurry, but look at those shoulders! It's like a little baby Arnold Schwarzenegger (circa Commando) coming at you!

And then the big, square feet. His heel is the same width as his toes. And they are about as thick as they are wide. So I guess that would actually make them cube feet.

Working On It...

Nick is working on his scooter skills. He has a little ways to go.

Eeyore and Teddy

Again, Nick loves his Eeyore and Teddies. He kind of says 'Teddy' in this video, but it's hard to decipher

A Boy and His Eeyore

Nick has gotten really into his stuffed animals lately. He even said Eeyore today. I have been giving him a teddy bear when I change his diaper lately, and he can almost say Teddy, too.

Mickey Mouse Fish

Well, after keeping Gooey-eyed fish alive for a few weeks, Adam and Ben were allowed to get a few more fish. Today then went and got two Mickey mouse fish and a sucker fish. The yellow ones are called Mickey Mouse fish because of their tails - see the MM shape?? The sucker fish was in a weird spot, so I couldn't get a good picture. As of this afternoon, the fish names are, Uncle (sucker fish), Jumi (MM fish 1), Gooey-eyed fish (the black one) and I can't remember the other MM fish's name.

Is It March or May? I'm Confused

A Swing, A Ball and A Binkie

Nick has not been a very happy boy lately. He was been cutting 5 teeth, all at the same time, including his last molar, 3 I-teeth, and 1 front tooth. It's still a little early to confirm, but I'm pretty sure he has a bonus front tooth - that is crooked. I'm a little freaked out. But, we got him to be happy in the swing, with his binkie and a ball the other night while I made dinner.

Auntie Dre's Baby Shower

This weekend we had a baby shower to Adam's sister, Andrea. The boys are going to have a little girl cousin this May! Adam's Grandma, Aunt Ann and Aunt Gwen came from Connecticut for the shower, so we spent time with them on Saturday and then saw them again on Sunday. It was a beautiful day to play outside on Saturday, but bad mommy didn't get any pictures, mostly because I didn't like the light (direct sunlight). Yes, that's the truth. So, I made up for it by taking lots of pictures on Sunday at the shower. Lee made a beautiful cake (she made the babies and flowers by hand with gum paste and fondant) and lots of delicious food, we played a few baby shower games and little Baby Lewalk received some wonderful gifts!

And I made this diaper wreath

Couch Time with Mommy

Multitasking at its finest: I am talking to my sister on the phone, taking a picture, kind of watching Frozen Planet and cuddling with the boys all at the same time. Sarah got me a remote shutter release for my camera for my birthday so now I can be in the pictures!! I am very excited about it! I have the perfect spot on the entertainment center that is just right for my 50mm lens to shoot the couch, or Fight Club Arena, as it is also known. You can see the remote in my right hand (I need to work on my subtle remote techniques). I have lots of ideas for my new toy, so stay tuned :)

Sandbox Time

Ben has been playing in the sandbox most days lately, even before this warm-up. Friday night was Nick's first time in the sandbox. He seemed to be a seasoned pro, so maybe he has played in the sandbox at daycare, too. Ummm, I just love the sandbox. And all the sand that comes in my house because of it. UmmHmmm
