Let’s Go To The Park

Thanks to the warmer Summer weather, and Thade’s Day Camp we are at the park all the time. Last week was Dylan’s first time on the swings, and he wasn’t the biggest fan, but we’ll try again another time. Thade would live at the park if we would let him. He loves to play on the swings, and slide on the slides. I love looking at all of the wild flowers, and seeing the ducks and geese, they are too cute.

Do you have a favorite park or park activity?

My Baby is Walking

Yep that is my little baby up and walking! He started walking this week 🙂 I’m so proud of my little guy!

No Rest for this Weary Gal

I had one full month of Dylan finally sleeping though the night, and once again teething has reared its grumpy head. The Teething Tyrant was up until 5:00 a.m. last night, and Thade was wide awake at 7:00 a.m., needless to say I’m one tired Momma. I guess I should add a full night’s sleep on my Mother’s Day wish list 😉

Rain, Rain, and More Rain

It is day #2 of the non-stop down-pour, and I don’t think that the rain is going to let up anytime too soon. Both of the boy’s are a little on the grumpy side today, Dylan was up last night until 4:30 a.m. (me too) with teething troubles, and Thade popped up at 7:30 a.m. with a stuffy nose and cough. I think it is just allergies, but I’m really hoping that he doesn’t have another cold. He has used 2 boxes of tissues since yesterday! Time to make another run to the store.

I’ve been busy doing laundry, and baking tasty treats in the kitchen. I whipped up a batch of Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies while James was home for lunch. Some cookies had Hershey Kisses, some were without, both were delicious. I’ve also been working on some baby food alternatives to serve Dylan, we are saying good-bye to the jars this week, and so far he isn’t too pleased with the new menu.

I made him Applesauce with Oatmeal at breakfast, he tried a bite or two and quickly turned his head away. When lunchtime came around I made mini-pasta shells with peas and corn, once again he wasn’t a fan, but he did have a fun time smashing peas into his hair. I’ll be steaming up some Sweet Potatoes tomorrow, we’ll see how it goes 😉

The Oatmeal Drum

I made a double batch of No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies yesterday, and I had an empty container for Thade. He quickly turned the Oatmeal Container into a drum, and played lovely songs all afternoon.

At breakfast this morning Thade and I made up a song about everything that we had to do today so we could have fun out of town tomorrow. Thade also made up a song about Dylan liking bagels.

I don’t think Dylan was the biggest fan of our singing, but Thade had a great time with his new “drum” 🙂
