what WE did

In May...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. This was her first time to pull up. Now she is about to take off...
2-5. At Crow's Nest Farm on a field trip. He listened to instructions and kept his hands behind his back. Didn't want to lose a finger to those turtles!
6. He loves T. Rex.
7-12. Enjoying Aunt Ashley's visit and a special Mother's Day in Wimberley.

Blue is way into dinosaurs. If I had to rank his top three interests it would be Bert (Mary Poppins), The Jungle Book (the elephant march!), and dinosaurs in fluctuating order. Bert has actually been on the decline as of late which is fine by me. His narrow clothing options are better suited to winter. We have dinosaur puzzles and dinosaur books, and most importantly, dinosaur figurines. His early favorite was the Brachiosaurus but it was quickly outpaced by the more action-oriented T Rex. Lately, his Allosaurus has been the front-runner - I think mostly because our version makes noises and jumps when you push a button on his back. It is a fitting interest given Blue's enthusiasm for new words and a good challenge to try and remember all those names! Here is a song Blue learned at school:

distracted by CUTENESS

This is his "I just did something tooty, but maybe you didn't notice?" face...

Side note: I know I have said this before but I am still wondering how hot it has to get before Blue will agree that he does not need a jacket.

happy MOTHER'S day

To me! Ha. I wanted pics of me and the kids for Mother's Day and I got extra lucky in the form of Ashley Davis Tilly!

 

We tried to recreate a photo scene of Blue and me from when he was just about Wiley's age but it was mostly a fail. Blue has always been and is still my wallering child. Is that even a real word? Basically he likes to keep his body close to mine. Usually not in a sweet, cuddly way but in an active, acrobatic way. So those pics of him and me on the bed were easy. With Wiley, she was mostly just really confused why we were on the bed and what we were supposed to do. She wanted to get down and get moving. So we did. Thanks Ash!

happy TEN months

All Wiley wants to do these days is walk. If you give her your hands she will take off and be really mad when you let go. One of her bottom teeth is about the break the surface - her first tooth! Won't that be cute! She is always "talking" and seems to think she is really saying words. They are very purposeful collections of sounds and she says them quite earnestly. She especially likes sing-song phrases. Like "thank you" and the previously mentioned "uh oh".  We sure do love that girl!
