Mommy and I spent some time yesterday looking through the photo album that Noni made for her....made up of all the pictures from when my mommy was a little girl. I couldn't believe it... I thought I was looking at pics of my sister, Hannah! Mommy doesn't have time to scan a pic right now, but when she does... you'll see the resemblence I'm sure!
One of daddy's friends made these very special blankets for us...and we wanted to show her that they're "just the right size". THANK YOU!
"Tartar" (a.k.a. Carter) came over to our house last night to play. Mommy had fun watching the interactions between us all, especially when she walked away for a brief moment and when she came back she saw this....
Hannah and Carter looked like they had been seated for a class and I was the instructor... (oh no...mommy says... he's going to be little-mister "organizer" like his mommy!)
In the midst of my struggles to deal with the frustrations that accompany a two year old's little mind... I have moments of great love and tenderness for my little sister.
I insist on feeding her her bottle, and have proven to be a great little understudy to mommy (gently kissing her forehead and smelling her sweetness!).
Hannah is getting strong, she is now able to take baths with me. Well....the with me part is the difficult part, I have trouble sitting still. I like to splash and swim and roll... not something mommy and daddy are too patient with when Hannah's in the tub with me...
She is really showing off her teeth with these smiles (I think she was just relieved that mommy rescued her from the bathtub typhoon)!
There is something that the sun, warm weather, and nature do to a little boy of 25 months! Mommy hasn't always had her camera with her, but here are some shots that daddy was able to capture over the past week.
Noni spoils me when I'm with her.... I get to get right down and dirty with nature when we're together. So far this spring we've planted pumpkin seeds (at Noni and Papa's house), a little evergreen tree (at my house), and spring flowers..
I personally like the dirt best! Ok, I guess it is my turn now to share a bit of info on a new-favorite "product" of mine... actually, line of products. I have recently started a new little mini-career and I am IN LOVE with the products (which, is probably a pretty good thing since I'm promoting it). I can't wait to share it with everybody, so I thought I good place to start would be this blog. The company is called Wildtree and it is all about products that are natural, healthy, and delicious and make cooking not only yummy but quick! It's great and PERFECT for our family and I'm excited to share it with all my friends (stay at home moms as well as those who work) b/c I believe in this product - no additives, no preservatives, no food dyes, no MSG... ok, I'll back down (for now :-) Let me know what you guys think and DEFINITELY let me know if you're interested in a little nibble (or a new hobby)! Some of my personal favorites so far.... alfredo extraordinare, guacamole mix, and red pepper and garlic blend.
I absolutely LOVE that my little sister is getting bigger! Not only does she like to watch me tear around the house and giggle while she chases me (with mommy and daddy's help) but NOW she's big enough to go for a ride in my magic red wagon (STILL one of my FAVORITE outdoor pasttimes. If you look closely in the next picture (click on it to make it bigger) you will see the peaceful smile on her face that she had glued on the whole time we walked (or, rode... depending on how you look at it!)
Mommy and daddy say she simply ADORES me :-) Kind of a perk of being a big brother, wouldn't you say?
Personally, I think it's quite the privilege to be a big brother (which sometimes mommy and daddy have to REMIND me of when I get a little bit rough with my love for her)...Daddy reminds me that my job is to protect her...
(this picture represents the lover that I am... I LOVE to cuddle with Hannah!)Mommy's sweet friend "Auntie" Jessica came and played with us this weekend while daddy had to be away. She was the best - she hid in my tent with me and helped me build towers to the sky...
played with Hannah banana and comforted her during her teething spells ...
and just overall helped mommy keep her sanity! Thanks Jess - you rock!
Mommy also had fun the past few days taking pics of Hannah and I as we have been shut-ins again with this cold snap of a late April.
(these are my pleading eyes.... )
and these are Hannah's tired eyes... this teething stuff wears you out~
One of my favorite pasttimes lately is to listen to daddyplay the guitar. Hannah really likes the music too. She just stares and watches as we play and sing and dance...
I like that Hannah can sit up now ... we can do more things together, like sit on the couch and cuddle!
My favorite part of the night though is when daddy lets me play his guitar...
Hannah is already trying to keep up with me! She loves her bottles, but I thought it was time to teach her all about food and spoons. SO, we got out my old high chair and tried it on for size...
what do you think?
followed by a few by my own hand...not too bad if I must say so myself
