Still my baby!

Its true that Co is no longer an actual baby but there is no reason he can't still play in his good ol' infant carrier I was so fond of. I just can't belive how big he looks in it now. Yikes! He hit his 21 month mark a few weeks ago, so it will seem like a matter of days before my "baby' turns 2! He is so grown up from last summer, which is fun, but sad. He is so stinking smart, sometimes too smart, and learns more and more everyday. The week after I had gotten home from our trip (3/21/09) to be exact, he was jumping on our neighbors trampoline when all of a sudden he said "One, two thee, four, sic, seven, eight, ten!" 8 out of 10 in order is pretty good for a 1 year old. I was completely shocked. I count with him all the time but he's never counted to 10 by himself. And he actually knows 5 and 9, because sometimes he just say, five, sic, five, sic or nine, ten, nine ten. He also has learned more of his letters, signing more words to his songs and is talking in more complete sentences. When we were in Fallon, there were a few times I noticed he was getting so much better. On one instance I was doing my hair and he had gone into his room, gotten his pacifier then brought it back to me and said, "I found my paci!" That's a complete sentence in my book. He is currently getting all his incisor teeth in so he's almost got a full mouth of teeth. He still loves playing outside, playing with friends (which knows by name Chase, Emma, Conner, Haylie, Kayla, Peyt, Savannah and Kate and usually cries or is at least sad when they have to leave) watching movies and he still LOVES animals, stuffed, plastic, real, whatever. He is now to the point where he will sometimes ask for specific food, usually, yogurt, cheese, milk, juice, water, crackies, raisies, and snacks (fruit snacks). Most people think it's strange I give him so many hair cuts but they don't understand how fast his hair grows. I literally cut this much off at least once a month, if not a little more often.


Busy Bee!

I'm such a hot/cold blogger...for which I apologize to my friends who send hate mail to update. But I just get so busy and then when I have a free moment, its not usually spent blogging.


Starting with Easter...my mom was in town for one of her best friend's son's weddings for just a few days. I had been planning on going to Fallon for a while to see my parents new business they are opening and offer any help I could (considering my parents will drive 8 hours at the drop of a hat if we are in need of their help). So I decided to drive home with my mom and then fly back. Here is a picture of Easter morning. The Easter bunny went a little over board on hiding Easter eggs for a 1-year old. He picked up about 4 and was done. Sorry bunny, maybe next year your efforts will be appreciated.
But he loved the toys!!

I couldn't dedicate my whole trip to helping with a 1 year old in tow but I did help cutting her fabric for curtains, covers, and anything else she was making. Plus I brought dinner to them every night, and did the dishes so they came home to a clean house. Co had a blast playing with Roxy my parents tea cup poodle (she kept following her around saying "ride, ride" haha, sorry coco, you're a little too big!) loved running around outside playing at their "park" they have some toys that are actually from a park all set up at their house. He ran around crazy helping Papa at the Health Center and gym. All the ladies that came to the gym loved him. And he especially loved the bunnies that visit Grandma and Papa's backyard...every time Co talked about the bunnies he'd say "He's fast!" We came home just in time for Josh's birthday. Co loved daddy's airplane birthday cake! I spent the next week getting back into the swing of things and preparing for bunco at my house. Then preparing for our semi-annual activity day activity for the girls and their mom's.
Watching Tarzan on the treadmill and yoga mat at the gym. He loved this!

Helping Papa set up the Infared Sauna. He stayed busy running the empty halls and eating Papa's lunch! Co has been a on plane 2 other times but was too small to remember or realize what was going on. He thought the plane was pretty cool and was VERY good, and super friendly to everyone sitting around us. He repeatedly told them Hi, until they responded. Thankfully, the flight wasn't full so he was able to sit next to me in his own seat. He colored, watched a movie and ate LOTS of snacks. He also liked to look out the window.
What else have I been doing that has kept me from my blogging duties? Sewing! I've really gotten into it lately. I don't LOVE to sew, I just love the end result and maybe it's my frugal upbringing but when I see something that looks like a rip-off and easy enough for me to make...I've decided to make it myself, and so far, I've been successful. Sewing project pictures to come.
