Can you stand it? This little cubby is such a delight. He is working really hard at trying to sit on his own now and grabs for everything in sight. His laugh can bring a smile to anyone and his twinkly eyes can melt you.

Had the pleasure of meeting this little cutie yesterday. She was so itty bitty I just melted. It is hard to believe that David was a newborn just five months ago. Already I can’t remember him being so tiny. He is pushing 17 pounds now and looks like a football player. I’m telling you, he could take other five monthers down right now. Takes right after his bro. He also has his brother’s demeanor at that age. So sweet and easy going. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

Thought this was post worthy……I came across Ben sticking his little head through the pig at the Ecology Center. I remembered I got that shot last year too. They were taken pretty much one year apart exactly. (Ok, maybe off by a couple of months) You get the concept anyways, right? Isn’t it funny how his head is filling up the hole? Look how is face has matured. I can’t believe my baby. Gosh, imagine when he is 22? Do you think he will still want to stick his head in there? Do you think he will still let me take him to the Ecology center?
Is there something you do now with your kids that you are going to miss down the road? If your kids are grown, what do you remember that brings a smile to your face? Please share…

Having a fenced in backyard is just the best on so many levels. The snow is so tempting for a three year old as it is and when Mommy doesn’t really want to go out because 1. We were JUST out. 2. The baby is awake and getting over being sick. or 3. The stir crazies are kicking in……it is the perfect opportunity for a young explorer to well uh, Explore! The other day he went out and had so much fun. Of course I’m watching him out of every window of the house and giggling. To see him bundled up to the eyes and falling or even trying to make his way through the deep snow just cracks me up. He comes knocking at the kitchen glass door periodically for certain things. A spoon, a bigger spoon because the first spoon is not working, a smaller spoon, another smaller spoon because the one he had went through the pool fence never to be seen again till spring. You know, the usual. Well, my most favorite part is when he puts the snow on the glass door and rubs it all around. He is so focused that he doesn’t even see me with my camera on the other side of the glass with my monster of a lens. His face is that of an angel (to me anyways) and I could watch him all day. Oh wait…I DO. Anyways, here is my little cookie spotting me in the kitchen. (so busted). Too bad I didn’t catch his big smile 2 seconds later.

Photo from the archives. One of my BIL’s creations. Are you one of the lucky ones that have had the priviledge of tasting Samy’s food? If not, sorry for the tease. He not only prepares his food so creatively but the taste…..well, TO DIE FOR!
I think this one was layers of fluke and salmon. Maybe a hint of red onion and some type of yummy olive oil drizzle. Sunflower seeds to top it off. Oh, how I miss eating sushi. Only about another year left of nursing and then I will INDULGE again.

As you know….the monsta doesn’t like to give those beautiful, natural smiles anymore. It is cheese galore with him. Yesterday was different. We were playing outside and he told me NOT to bring out my camera. I said ok. After we came in to warm up again, I asked him if I could bring it out. (Can you believe I have to ask?) He said yes. We were tackling eachother on the front lawn because that is what a Mom of boys is required to do and I said, OOOH, let me set up the timer and take our picture. He said yes. He sat down, I focused and pressed the shutter and ran to him. He got a kick out that. Everytime the camera beeped faster, he laughed. The 5 pictures I took are all great and I will cherish them forever.
