Funnies @ Piedmont Park

While enjoying a beautiful late February day at Piedmont Park, we walked through a wet area near a water drain.  I was pushing N(18mos) in a stroller and I(4) says,
Mommy, don't let N(18 months) fall into the drain. We will lose N. and then we will have to buy another one.
I say,
Another N?
I(4) says,
Yes, another N(18 mos).

Not only did Pablo and I laugh hysterically about it, we were very proud of our son for caring enough about his brother to replace him.

Circus and Ice Cream

Mr. J and Pablo took the kiddos to the circus and stopped for ice cream on the way back.

All I have to say is: Sharing = Love.

We stayed and the kiddos had dinner together after the show.

Who is this kid? Love these faces!

N’s 18th month Update

My how time flies! Mr. N is now 18 months old!

N * wears 12-18m clothing and size 4 diapers.

*has all 4 top and bottom teeth and molars are all starting to peek through his gums.

* is talking more and more everyday. Some words/phrases she uses regularly include: Mama, Papa, Dog, Por Favor (although not completely enunciated), Baba (sippy cup), Baf (aka Bath), Elmo, Up, Uh-Oh, yes, Ball, Cat, Book and many words in Spanish that I don’t know well enough to list here.

* is officially SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! Hallelujah! He goes to sleep at 7pm and wakes up around 7:00am! There are those crazy days where we get a “Mama” at 6am. thankfully, few and far between.

* takes a nap from about 11-12:30.

* loves playing with cars. He will take it upon himself to drive them around everything. He also loves looking at picture books. He will grab a book and sit down, pointing at the pictures and making his own stories. 

*has mastered climbing up onto our bed and his big brothers by pulling the sheets and throwing his leg over. Thankfully, he has not figured out how to get out of his crib. 

*fights me every time I try to cut his nails. I need to think of something to distract him better.

* loves bath time. In fact, he knows the routine. Once we finish dinner, we take a bath. I can barely get him out of his chair before he starts taking his shirt off to say “bath.”

*easily slips off his socks, sometimes when we don’t want him to.

*is destined to be an outdoorsman. He never wants to come inside and always wants to be outside.

*has a fabulous feel for a soccer ball. Must be genetic?

*loves to blow kisses. When you ask him for a kiss, he puts his cheek on your face, as though you should give him one.

*is a screamer. Loves to start a rukus that his big brother often chimes in on. I put my hands on my ears until they get it out of their system.
