Reason #61: Why To Worry When Your Toddler Is Too Quiet

Always, always worry when your toddler is out of sight and being very quiet!


Thank goodness he didn't flush!

M's New Hobby: Stickers!

As M is very much into Buzz Lightyear, I thought I would get him some Toy Story stickers. I purchased a box and the stickers. He had so much fun:



I love how he clustered the stickers into one big pile!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Work had an event: free baseball tickets! M had a blast.



En route to the ballpark
Eating ketchup, yep, ketchup
Got to meet Elle


The slide was so much fun. I must have gone down at least five times!
 
 Watching the game...or the scoreboard--not sure.


This bounce thing is so much fun, Mom!
 


Time to leave. It is way past bed time!

M truly enjoyed his first ballpark experience.
What will baby M look like? Who will baby M look like? Is this it?...


For realsies?

I Got A New Way To Walk

Regarding a previous post this month, I have become more proactive about my health. The reason I had such sore muscles last week was because I had lifted weights lightly (trying to relieve wrist pain) and may not have stretched enough afterwards. As the weather is beginning to cool a bit, I have been walking more. Really, really miss the family walks we have taken in the past and hope we get back into our evening walk routine.

D & I took M for a walk on Sunday evening (even after a day of gardening). I took M for a short walk/jog on Tuesday morning, yes, morning. This is a bit unlike me, but Jonesy had woken me up consistently from 3 am onward so I knew I needed to get the blood flowing before work. That evening M and I took a walk before bedtime. He was so chitty chatty! I could tell he enjoys our walks as much as I do.

In the spirit of walking, I have acquired an ear worm. To all you moms out there who find yourselves humming songs (AKA ear worms in your head) from children's shows, here is a great one from Sesame Street:

(If at all possible, listen without watching for the video is a bit dated.)

Happy Wednesday to all. Be sure to check out the new Lightbox Widget to the right. It's full of photos of M over the past 5-6 months.

Crib Find: Score!

Found a crib idea for Baby M. Best of all, it is cardboard: score! Might also serve as entertainment for Toddler M so he can push around his baby brother.

Belly Buttons and Puppies

Good Monday morning to all! I am feeling a bit sore from yesterday's projects, even after about 9.5 hours sleep. Let's hope the day sets a good tone for the week

Caught M playing with his belly button this morning (too cute). I did the same thing as a kid.



Snuck in some photos of the dogs:
