UP, UP and AWAY He Goes!

That's right - the little man is pulling himself up! Let's just say that this weekend was a big one around Casa De Granny D's! He was a busy boy this weekend learning all new tricks! He was so determined, I sat him next to the couch and the next think he was up! He had the cutest little look of determination on his face and we were so proud of him! He has been doing it pretty consistently every since! Now he wants to pull up on everything, the little wiggle worm!

Soulard Farmer's Market

We went to the Soulard Farmer's Market on Saturday with our friends Greg and Meredith and we had such a great time! We feel like we have just been so busy with life that we haven't taken the time to get out and hang out with everyone - so it was so nice to take advantage of the long weekend and hang out! It was POURING outside and we looked so funny getting Connor inside, we said that we need the "rain shelter" for the Bob!
Hanging out on Dada's shoulders - checking things out from on top!
Greg and Meredith - the soon to be Mr. and Mrs!
The little family!
His Cuteness!!!
See, I wasn't joking - we looked hilarious strolling inside! He was asleep so we took him in in the car seat - we had his car seat cover on, a blanket and two umbrellas! We are totally crazy :) I look a hot mess - but C man was helping me hold the umbrella on the way back to the car. You might ask why he wasn't sitting in his stroller? Well, we bought too much food and he got booted out and Momma had to carry him :) As you can tell, I minded dearly!
The result of our adventure - the little man is going to be eating on this for awhile! It took me all afternoon, but he has a good supply of sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, squash, zucchini, green beans, blueberries and eggplant!

Two By Two...

This precious drooly man's toofers are coming in!!!!!! AH! Our baby is getting too big - too fast! I picked him up from Nana's house on Thursday, he was a little cranky and you could tell his teeth were bothering him. We got home and did a little playing on the floor when he took my hand and pulled it into his mouth and lo and behold he had two little jagged toofers coming through! The bottom middle to be exact :) I was so excited and so thankful that those nasty little buggers have finally popped through - my poor sweet man has been a bit of a "teething tyrant" around the house lately and we are all thankful he may finally have some relief! It is crazy because I can see the top of them when he opens his mouth now - I can't believe it. What next, a girlfriend?! As soon as I can capture a picture of them, I will post it!

Peek-A-Boo!

A Hot Mess!

After C finishes dinner he sometimes likes to "feed" himself. This particular evening he was all over the place and Momma ended up with a hot mess :) He was too funny - I am not totally sure how I got carrots all over him, but he looked a little too cute to not snap a picture of! He fed himself the rest of his yogurt while I finished cooking dinner - and after we all finished up dinner he went straight on in the bath tub!

BlaBla Monkey

Connor got this "BlaBla" monkey as a gift from my mom's friend Joannie and he LOVES it! I just started putting in his crib - I have been putting "surprises" in a corner or two for a little while to entice him to scoot around. I figured it would be a fun surprise to find a little monkey or a lovey after all the hard work of scooting around. I have gone in to check on him several times now and he will have his little monkey under one arm (or sleeping on it) and the corner of his blanket in the other one. It's pretty stinkin cute! I just had to get a little picture of him - the flash kind of startled him, but I think he still looks pretty precious!
Really, Momma? Another picture?
Okay - I guess I can cheese it up one more time :)

Isn't he sweet? My little monkey? I love that he has started chewing on the corner of his blanket because I did that when I was a baby too!

That Spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

Not trouble in a bad way - but I can see a few years from now these two co-horting on the couch different ways to scare Momma!
I don't think they could be any sweeter. Bj was drinking his coffee and Cj was "drinking" out of his sippy cup watching Sports Center the other morning. I have a feeling that is not the last time I will see my sweet boys on the couch watching Sports Center and I love, love, love it!
