Silly pics

A couple weekend pictures of our goofball...

Ed is all about fashion--check out the onesie snapped outside the pants!


That had been my water bottle for while I was pushing him. He had different ideas.


Meatballs are a messy affair. But so delicious!


Helping me clean out the cupboard under my bookshelves. What you can't see is that his left hand is pushing the power button on the cable box on and off.

Babysitting

The three of us babysat 4-month-old Ethan Saturday night for our friends Carrie and Justin. We had fun but are very happy not to have kids 10 months apart! 

Thomas is all about touching Ethan. He was mostly gentle, either patting his head or touching his hair, but a couple times he tried to play the bongos on poor Ethan's skull! He also demonstrated how to use all the toys on the exersaucer to a rapt audience. These two will be great friends!


And jealousy kicks in. Thomas did not like it when I was holding Ethan. He wanted to be held as well, and you could picture him thinking "that's MY mommy."

So I tried holding them both. That's alot of weight! Thomas really didn't think this was much better. 

So Ed took over Ethan duties for a while and they watched basketball together.

Talent

As Ed so perfectly put it, "Our kid may not wave or blow kisses, but he can give one heck of a zerbert." See below....

Fairy tears and a rainy basketball weekend

A pretty quiet weekend here, with lots of basketball watching...

I made my niece Annie a Tinkerbell costume for her birthday. Thomas unhappily tried on the wings. There is also a picture of him trying on the Tinkerbell costume (strictly for sizing!), but I've been discouraged from sharing it. 

Thomas and daddy watching March Madness together

Playing with cool architectural blocks. I build, he knocks down. 

Time to go shopping!

Do you think it's time for Ed to get some new pants? In the car yesterday morning, he thought he sat on something because he heard a crinkle sound. As he sat in the pew at church, he realized that sound was his pants ripping! Thank goodness we were sitting in the back! And needless to say, he passed on going up for Communion.

I'm back from a 3-day trip to the office in NY (3 days of single parenting for Ed, almost 10 hours of sleep per night for me!) just in time for another taste of gorgeous spring weather. Yay! 

We took the tunnel outside--much better than in our house! With a little coaxing, Thomas is getting used to touching grass. At least he's stopped standing at the back door and whining to go in like he used to do! 


This kid is growing up so fast--look how big he is here! While I was grilling chicken this evening, he was going up and down the deck steps. I keep having to convince him that he has to back down them. 

Boy or Puppy?

I thought only puppies chewed on slippers...
