Bath Time!

 

A first real bath for our Little Boy, tenderly given by his Daddy :)

Introducing…

 

Momma now introduces the newest addition, another Little Boy. The Boy is very fond of Little Boy, although he is having adjustment issues. But truly, the whole household is having various versions of adjustment issues. Sleeping, routines, cleaning, everything is in an uproar. Alas, all is wonderful here at home.

And introducing…

Here is the newest member of the family. Baby (who is gender unspecified at the moment) will be making his/her debut mid-September. This is the best photo we have ~ Baby was a crazy jumping bean during the ultrasound!

A Southern Snowman

 

 

A rare treat in Wilmington – snowfall significant enough to build the Boy’s first snowman.  The Boy and his Daddy played outside for a few minutes, building a tiny snowman, throwing snowballs, eating snow and doing other typical winter activities.

The Boy was chilly, but happy. Maybe he’ll like snow as much as his Daddy.

I Spy With My Little Eye

… Something awesome I can climb!

Exploring a mostly empty beach on Saturday, the Boy discovered the life guard station. As adept as he may be at climbing, the ladder proved to be too much for him. He could reach the first rung, but couldn’t gain his footing in order to reach the next. Thank goodness for that. Already that day he learned to climb out of his crib – over and over again in protest of the evil regime that is nap time. The last thing the Momma needs is him being able to scale vertical ladders.

Pint Sized Farm Boy

The Boy discovered the joys of fall and farms on Saturday. Momma really wishes there were an apple farm near by; fall just isn’t the same without picking apples. So the family settled for a local farm, filled with chickens, goats, horses and pigs. Tall corn stalks, tractors, and pumpkins to play with. Here, the Boy is in a teepee (or possibly wigwam, I’m not really up on my dried corn husk housing).

Judging by his laughter and big smiles, the Boy’s favorite part of the farm was right here.

A New Treat

Momma thought the Boy would enjoy something cool on a hot day. Her first thought was a popsicle, but sugar water didn’t seem like the best idea for her little boy (given his family history of sugar loving, plushy people). So Momma got some GoGurt & froze it like a popsicle. She brought it to the beach, and the Boy LOVED it. What a great toy – you squeeze, and it makes a giant mess! And a tasty mess to boot!

First Haircut

Before his travels to Michigan, it was observed that the Boy was beginning to sport a mullet. Given that his Momma and Daddy are suburban Northerners, the hairstyle of the rural elite was not the desired look for him. Here he is, getting the “party in the back” trimmed off – now he’s ALL business!
