Playing Catch up

I am going to catch up with pictures from the past few weeks....

J's class held a Mother's Day Program. It was precious. They sang songs, did poems, made gifts, etc. J was a butterfly in one song. His friend P, the little red-head next to him, was a flower. Too cute!

My baby boy!

Miss M had many firsts. She started using the Exersaucer. She loves it!
She is also eating solid foods. Out of all she had tried, she is not a huge fan of peaches, but loves everything else! Girlfriend is all about the food! She gets excited whenever she sees the spoon.


On Mother's Day we went to my mom's house. We had a nice lunch. That Saturday, a neighborhood boy dropped off a kitten to my mom, the crazy cat lady. Of course, it is hard to resist such a cute little thing. Mom named him Joey. He sat on Nan's lap the entire time and slept. It was very sweet to see and she loved every minute of it!

Yes, is the picture above, my son is wearing a Snuggie. My mom got my sister and I each Snuggie.http://www.blogger.com/www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xZp-GLMMJ0 or http://www.getsnuggie.com/ If you have never seen the creepy commercial, it is a blanket with arms. J loves it. He wears it every night now.

Miss M turned 5 months. 5 months~can you believe it? Time flies!
She certainly loves her big brother. He is the only one who can get her to belly laugh---a sound that melts my heart. To watch them interact is so touching and beautiful to watch.


M has also found her toes. She grabs them and sucks on them....She is so close to rolling over but just doesn't want to...Lazy girl!

And toe-sucking in the tub---even more fabulous!
M has also been "enjoying" watching her brother play Tee-ball. Today was in the 80's before 11 AM and needless to say, she was not enjoying the heat. So after he batted the last time, we went to the car for some AC!

The Big Race

ON YOUR MARK!



Get Set! False Start! Oops!


GOOOOO! Run J Run!



Friday was the Third Annual Race for Education at our school. The kids get sponsored and run/walk as many times as they can around a 1/4 mile circle. This was J's first and he did 11 laps! Way to go!

The whole family came out to see him. Mommy and Daddy walked with him, No pictures since we had the camera!


Grandmom and Mom-mom made it down the hill safely to walk a lap with their grandson.




Aunt Ju-Ju came out to support J and was dressed for work. Though she wore heels, she walked a lap with her nephew! What a great Aunt! He was so happy that she was there that he told all of his friend, "Look! That is my Ju-Ju!"

Even Little Miss M came to root on her big brother. I enjoyed showing her off, of course!



Our little guy was so exhausted that night but we were so proud of him for all of his walking/running! Way to go Buddy!

Miss me?

I am still alive! Our DSL was out for two weeks and I have been busy, but I am here....
Here are some highlights of the past three weeks:
  • I attended J's Mother's Day program at school. His PreK class made many gifts for us moms, sang songs, did poems, and we even danced to "My Girl"..(yes, get a tissue- it was the sweetest thing!)
  • Little Miss M is eating all sorts of foods now...applesauce, peaches, prunes, pears, sweet potatoes and squash. She is all about the food!
  • I have 17 days left...but who is counting????
  • J and I have been planting flowers in our spare time. My little gardener.
  • M is yet to roll over. Lazy little girl.

I will post pictures another day. I have some cute ones of M with her food face!
