Slacker

Yes, when it comes to blogging I'm a bit of a slacker. I'll try to make it up to you with video.
Adam is now 14 months old and so fun! Jacob is a little bundle of energy. They generally get along well. Jacob still likes to show Adam who's bigger every once in a while but we suspect the tables will turn soon. They are teaching me to live with a home that is only "so-so" clean and to choose my battles.
They were in Jacob's room last night being awfully quiet. I went in to see who was getting into trouble....or possibly taking a poop in their pants......to find them helping each other pick up the toys! What an early Christmas present!

Retraction: What would you do for a telescope?

My apologies to Scrubbing Bubbles. It occured to me later that yellow and blue make green...Jacob didn't flush that morning :(

What would you do for a telescope??

It takes quite a bit of prompting to get Jacob to use the potty. Once he's on there it takes him an eternity to get off. We were running extremely late this morning so I went into the bathroom to see if I could get Jacob to wrap it up. When I walked in he had a guilty look on his face and I saw him throw an empty toilet paper roll into the trash can. I saw a few shreds of toilet paper on the ground and decided that it was probably close to being gone and that he peeled the little that was left off so he could use it as a telescope. He loves to do that. We went on with our day.
When I returned from dropping Jacob off at Mother's Day Out I went in to my bathroom and found the entire roll of toilet paper on the other side of the toilet!!! Had I seen it this morning I would have been a bit irritated. But seeing as an hour or so had passed by and Jacob wasn't even here anymore I found it comical. I guess I'm glad I wasn't very observant this morning.


You should also note that that is NOT pee in the toilet. It is from the scrubbing bubbles drop-in, which has turned from blue to green, that I will not be purchasing again.

Girlfriend

Branded Already!!!

Maybe it's not so bad.

This sleeper was a present from Adam's girl-friend, Sarah. She is terribly cute and only about 3 months younger than he is. They have been caught sharing NUKs....it must be true love.

Cat's Eye

Do you notice anything special about this dresser?

Perhaps you can see it better now?


Aha!! There he is!

It can be quite disturbing to find a little man sitting on your dresser. It made me think of the movie, " The Cat's Eye". I believe it was based on a Stephen King book. Towards the end there is this little gremlin guy that is in a little girl's bedroom and tries to suck the breath out of her while she sleeps. The cat ends up killing the gremlin guy. Hey, good thing we took in that stray! I'm pretty sure she could handle this guy.

Growing Pains

Each of the boys is growing in his own way...

Jacob is learning to dress himself.....in Adam's clothes.

Adam is learning to eat new foods.....with utensils....and sometimes without.

Stray

She may look scary...but we love her.............And sometimes we pretend she's a dragon.
