Playing Photographer

We have been in desperate need of updated family photos. I really wanted to have the whole cool photo session with the hip photographer, but I am just too cheap these days. I figured we could just snap some shots ourselves using a tripod and the nifty camera timer. Well, I now know why the hip photographers can charge so much. We could not get the super cute toddler to barely stand still, much less sit still. There was much bribing going on, but I guess the lure of a lollipop doesn't buy much cooperation anymore. We were able to get a few cute shots, and hopefully photoshop will help us salvage some more. Next time I might just bite the bullet and leave it to the professionals.

My Boy

Bam Bam had a great check up, 15 lbs. 3 oz. and 24 3/4 inches, and super smiley.

"Vest" Pals

Oh, I crack myself up. Chad and Pebbles were headed out the door this morning both wearing their puffy vests. I had to snap a quick pic. Daddy takes her to MDO so that I do not have to get Bam Bam out in the cold, and I pick her up in the afternoon. She loves going to "shool." Bam Bam and I are off to the doctor for his 2 month check up...even though he is 3 months old. I am really curious about his weight, he is a pretty husky boy.

Cuteness

I could just eat them up.

Success!

He did it, he finally did it! Bam Bam slept ALL. NIGHT. LONG. No crying or fussing or pacifier wanting. It was super. Neither of the kids woke up until 7:15 this morning. I think I might be coming out of the fog. Oh dear sleep, how I have missed you so. I know, I know it's only been one night, but I have faith that this is gonna last. Just had to share how totally EXCITED I am. Peace out, have a super Monday.

Teaching 'em Young

A couple of months ago while we were at Chad's Me-Me's house, she was cleaning out some old toys. She wanted Chad to take home the Construx he used to play with at her house. Pebbles was excited from the get go. She wanted to know what was inside the cool yellow suitcase. We told her she had to wait until we got home to play, I know I know, so mean. After we got home, the cool yellow suitcase got put away and forgotten about...until yesterday. Pebbles found it in Bam Bam's room and convinced her daddy to play...yeah, that was sooo hard. She loved it. They played with the Construx in the afternoon and again in the evening. It was super cute, and I am not sure who had more fun. Even Bam Bam got in on the action. So, good job to Fisher Price, this toy stood the test of time.

Road Hawg

Pebbles received this adorable tricycle for Christmas. She loves to ride it. And, since it has been crazy warm (read: HOT) in our area the last few days, she has been burnin' some rubber...sort of.
