Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Maxwell has NeNe, Spencer has Puppy, and it looks like Samantha has this little sheep lovey!
She chews on the ear and, let me tell ya, that little ear is now pretty gross! ha! Susan is doing her best to wash it regularly but it’s already showing it’s love! And she only chews on the one ear. So funny.
She actually has two of the same sheep lovey in her bed, but this one – and it’s ear! – is clearly the favorite!
The sheep needs a name though. Ideas?
Around here the last week…
I had to go down to Naples unexpectedly last Friday. GJ had a little procedure but happy to report she is now heart healthy! There were no worries back in Birmingham because Robert held down the fort tremendously!
I got back into town in time to watch the big Championship football game on Monday night! We were dressed in our colors…
and ready to cheer Roll Tide! It was definitely a good game and we were all very pleased with the outcome! Maxwell has especially gotten into watching football with Dad! He asks a LOT of questions…not sure how much Dad was enjoying all those questions during the first half of the game Monday! ha!
Also this week, Maxwell built the Lego Police Station he got for Christmas…
and has been very proud getting all of his Legos displayed in his room!
Spencer has had a little cold (KLEENEX!!) and stayed home from school Tuesday. But, he was feeling better by Thursday so got to go play with Jairus and Sebastian at school.
Samantha has been all over the downstairs in the walker we brought inside. Video here. She’s loved it!
That’s a wrap on a great week! Here’s to a long weekend ahead!!
Happy Friday!
As I’m sure you know, the boys love to draw. Well, Maxwell loves to and Spencer does it often by default just to do what big brother is doing!
Many afternoons are spent just like this…
It makes me happy. Samantha has decided she wants to get in on all the fun too so learned how to open the art cabinet and get out the markers…ALL the markers! She had the best time rolling them all around the floor and then trying to get them out from under the fridge!
So proud!
She’s clearly a little artist in the making and every day has been checking to ensure our supplies are stocked!
She’s a mess but she’s my mess!
Cheers for my little artists!
When we were in Highlands for Thanksgiving, Spencer slept great in a twin bed. We decided that maybe it was time to move him out of his crib at home too! I’m not really sure why we thought it was a good idea, but Spencer seemed to be on board so we got that big boy bed on order! Funny – we also moved Maxwell into a big boy bed right after Christmas in January 2012. Maxwell was 3 years and 5 months. Spencer was 3 years and 2 months.
A few days before Spencer’s bed arrived, I went in to get him up from his nap and he was still sound asleep. I couldn’t resist snapping a photo of my baby in his crib. I love how he would put his monkey blanket on top of his elephant to use as his pillow. Of course, Puppy was in his hand!
The night before his bed was going to arrive, I snapped a photo of his last sleep in his crib. By the way, Spencer is a GREAT sleeper – never wakes at night and takes fantastic naps every day. This boy loooves his zzzzzzs! He was also about to bust out of that XXL sleep sack! ha!
When the boys came home from school that day, his big boy bed was all set up and ready to go! Complete with jungle sheets!!
Spencer said “it has yi-ons!! I yuh-ve it!” Translation: It has lions! I love it! 🙂
He then immediately started jumping on his bed!
First nap didn’t go too well. Too much excitement for sure! That night, he was still pretty excited and big brother helped get him tucked in…
Unfortunately, the first few nights were a little rough! He woke up several times just having trouble getting his covers straight, his pillow situated, etc. He’s gotten better though and, after a week is on a string of sleeping all night and even taking good naps during the day! Hooray! My baby is growing up and I don’t think I like it one bit. Thank goodness I’ve still got another crib with a baby in it in the room next door!
ps – Maxwell wanted some jungle sheets too so his bed got a little upgrade! 🙂
Sleep tight!
Their Spidey senses start tingling…
and off they go to fight crime and danger!
My brave Spider-boys!
Thanks for the awesome pjs Mrs. Susan! 🙂
