He's all grown up! :)

For the last month Joe and I have bought pretty much every sippy cup ever made, nothing worked, he wanted his bottle. He would drink water out of the sippy cups, but NO milk. Well, I finally went and bought the cheapest sippy cup on the market and he loves it! :) So no more bottles! He is also competely off formula now and on lactose free whole milk. I cant believe how fast it is going!

Today we are going to go to the park and run around. I will take some pictures! Hope everyone is doing well!

finger painting!

Trying to come up with some new activities for Alex to keep him occupied. He is sick of being at home sometimes.. today we decided to do some finger painting!

He is a little artist haha! We definitely had bath time after!








the finished product:


He then ran around the yard putting paint all over the patio.. whatever its washable for a reason! haha.. :)

Wednesday.. hump day!

Hey everyone! It's Wednesday finally, I feel like this day has been dragging on. Today I have my first book club meeting, so Joe and Alex will be flying solo for dinner. I am excited about it, its a new book club so this will be the meeting where we all meet each other and decide on our first book. :)

I put up another picture my mom sent of Alex on his birthday. He looks fascinated with something.

Joe has been on the rifle range all week so he is getting up earlier and get home later. The poor guy is tired! Thankfully its only a week.

That's about it for now. Need to get the dog and get ready for a walk! See you all later.

great quote...

we all know i love Marilyn.. I love this quote, wanted to share.

Is it the weekend yet?

Hello! I got a picture from my mom of this weekend, so here is Alex being Alex.. probably talking up a storm as usual. ha!

Right now we are dealing tantrums and more tantrums. Not sure where they are coming from, but we are trying to ignore them and not encourage it. Hopefully its a stage and will get over it for now. Save the tantrums for the terrible twos! :)

Besides that we are just hanging out. Joe is at the range, shooting rifles or whatever they do ;-) this week and next week. I am trying to stay ahead with my schoolwork so that I dont get overwhelmed. I like to stay ahead of the game if I can.

The weather is starting to cool down a little. At least for now. I am happy about that. I am so sick of heat! Its time for summer to leave.

Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

Better than yesterday!

Hello! Alex's temperature is back down and he a little cranky but he isn't attached to my hip. So that is a good thing :)

I posted a picture of him on his new giraffe rider. Joe's friends from work got it for him for his birthday. He is not sure what to do with it yet. He will sit on it and I push him around, or he stands at the front of it and pushes it while he walks but I am sure in a few days he will get it.

Hope everyone is having a good day!
