Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Happy Monday! Guess who’s (sort of) crawling?!
this guy!! He’s not too fast yet, but he’s gotten in 2 or 3 army crawls this weekend. Yay buddy!
Watch out world, here comes Spencey! He’s gonna need to be mobile to escape the torture fun that his big brother puts him through…
ha! Something tells me Spencer is going to be juuuust fine in the brotherly battles!
Yep. New favorite picture!
See you tomorrow!
As much fun as we had in Florida last week, we have sure enjoyed being home this week!
We had dinner with friends…
Cake pops for breakfast…
Played with Dad…
Watched the boob tube (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Doc McStuffins and Jake and the Neverland Pirates are current tv faves)…
Beat the heat with some friends at Steel City Pops…
and with some water balloons in the back yard!
Crack is whack, ya’ll! 🙂
This little guy has been pretty cheery this week despite a SECOND TOOTH breaking through!
Overall, we’ve just been happy to be home – very happy!! 🙂
Have a great weekend and see you next week!
I spent all last week down at GJ and Daddo’s house in Naples. I just worked from there while GJ played nanny. She gets an A+! Even though it rained every single day and we only got to get into the pool once for about 3 minutes, the boys still had a great time. Give them GJ, some trucks, and room to run and they’re happy as can be!
I flew down there with them last Sunday. My first time on a plane by myself with both of them – we made it just fine!
We flew into Tampa and my mom picked us up and we drove the 2 hours on to Naples. Not a fun drive but better than having to layover and switch planes in Orlando. I was hoping both boys would sleep the whole drive but…no. Maxwell entertained us for quite a while until finally doing this about 15 minutes from the house…
figures. Spencer took a little nap but then was up and playing most of the drive too.
Once we got to Naples, we had a great time just running around outside (when it wasn’t raining!)…
Playing with Daddo…
Wearing hats…
Playing with new trucks (GJ’s a sucker!)…
Reading lots and lots of books…
Saying hi to Margie and Marc…
Running around Waterside Shops…
Really driving the pretend race car…
and pretending to drive the real race cars…
Honking the horn and scaring me and Daddo to death!…
Dressing up like Woody…
Cutting a tooth – yep! this little guy’s first tooth broke through on the bottom!…
and just generally having a ball!
It was a GREAT stay! More to come tomorrow!
At Spencer’s 6 month appointment, we got the go-ahead to start him on solids! There is no doubt my big boy is ready for some food! 🙂 I decided to just start with fruits and vegetables instead of rice cereal or oatmeal. Not sure why we always carbo-load our babies with processed food from the get-go instead of starting with fruits and vegetables? Anyway, I decided bananas was a good start so that’s what we did! He wasn’t real sure what to do with it in his mouth at first but he caught on quickly. The funniest part was Maxwell – who won’t eat a fruit to save his life – thought the jar of baby food bananas was pretty good too! I think he ate over half of his brother’s food! I might have to start buying double jars – one for Spencer and one for Maxwell! ha!
This is pretty much what it looked like when Spencer ate that first jar of bananas…
and here’s some videos if you’re really interested!
So far he’s had bananas, apples, pears and sweet potatoes. Adventures in eating!
Guess who got his first swing in the Johnny Jump Up last week? Spencey! I think he liked it…even if he didn’t really jump yet. He had fun just swinging around. I kept thinking he just needed more traction under his feet so I tried him with a non-slip pad and then pulled his pants up so he could jump barefoot. Neither change really made him jump but that’s ok. He’ll get the hang of it soon!
Not so sure about the non-stick pad…
And frankly a little unimpressed with the whole idea of jumping! 🙂
But barefoot was pretty fun!
I think he’s going to like it just as much as his brother did!
