Walking

Alice took some steps yesterday. Yes, real steps! And then she took about 4 more this morning. Perhaps she'll be walking by the end of the summer.

A girl and her music

Alice LOVES music. More specifically, she loves LOUD music. Based on personalities you'd think that Lucius would want the music loud. Nope. He takes the volume control knob off and hides it so Alice can't turn the music up. Here she is rocking out.

Yes, she does this every time we put music on. Nasty, nasty boys...

Things that Alice is doing = not much

Well, that's not entirely true. Alice says hi and can wave hi and bye. But the big news is that she can stand all.by.herself. You know she's very proud of herself because she claps everytime she does it. Oh, she also gives kisses now. So cute.


Today is Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all of the great Moms that I know.

I'm sure lucky to have such great kids. I <3 my babies! **just realized the the <3 doesn't work in html -- it's supposed to be a heart **










We've been dogsitting Gus for a few days. He sure does miss his family! So much that he keeps running away to find them...

Cheating

I finally figured out how to retroactively post.

What's dat smell?

Thanks to the bed tent, we're always treated to a dutch oven whenever we put Lucius to bed.

Me: What's that smell?
Lu: I don't smell anything.
Me: Take a big whiff.
Lu: Ewwwww, we need a fan in here.

I know.

Last night was really funny.

Me: Goodnight Lu (I said after reading a book and singing a song).
Lu: Quick Mommy, get out of the tent!
Me: Why? Did you toot?
Lu: No, I farted. It was really quiet so you didn't hear it.
Me: (quickly running out of the room)
Lu: (after taking a big whiff) ewww...yuck

Gotta love gassy boys.

Another bottom tooth!

and that makes 4!
