Braggin' on my Boy

Words can't express how much I love my first baby. I know I am completely biased because I am his Mommy, but some days I just wonder how he is so darn smart. Well, he obviously gets it from his Daddy. Here are some recent funnies from a very special two year old boy....

-Mommy, this fish from Africa!
-Daddy: Are you ready for bed Parker? Parker: Not quite
-After reading, David Gets in Trouble. Parker: Mommy, I get in trouble. I knock coke over. :::Insert tiny giggles::: as I enter the kitchen to see cans of coke all over the floor.
- one, three, four, five, seven, eight, nine, ten. (Not sure what happened to two and six)
-Mommy, monkey took my pants. Call zoo and get them back.
-Mason knock my table over. (As I see his table flipped over and innocent Mason next to it)

And a cute picture....

We are in trouble!

Mason is on the move!!! He climbs and crawls into and on EVERYTHING. I have a feeling we might have an early walker.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Mason and Audrey are fantastic eaters. I can't express how excited this makes me. Parker has never been a good eater, apparently he gets this from me. I do blame myself for his horrible eating habits. I didn't expose him to enough when he was a baby. I made all his baby food and never really made too many meats because it was just gross. I also didn't push food as quickly as I have with the twins.

I have started to expose them to a lot of our table food. Most of the articles I read say that 8 months is a good age to start. I have also read some articles and blog on baby lead weaning. This is when parents never offer pureed food and go right to table food. I think it is interesting, so I have started offering them parts of our meal. Mason was gagging on most food, but I kept offering. Audrey LOVES any food you offer her. She gets very excited.

Tonight I cut up some chicken that I grilled for dinner in very small pieces and they both gobbled it up. Sweet Sucess!!!!!!!!

Mommy's Favorite Faces

Gosh...only a Mommy can explain how much you can love one (or three) little faces so much. Only a Mommy can kiss these cheeks 'til they can't be kissed anymore.

Easter 2011

Easter with Parker was really fun this year. He knew the Easter bunny was going to bring him treats, and it helped us get him to bed on Easter eve. I asked him what he thought the Easter bunny would bring and he said, "Lollipops." I felt horrible because I had spoken with the Easter bunny and I knew it was too late to change our order. :) A chocolate bunny was going to have to be good enough. He woke up to three baskets, I don't think he quite understood that two of them weren't his. Parker said he would share with Mason and Audrey. He is such an awesome big brother. The bunny brought him some animal crackers, a big chocolate bunny, play dough, tennis balls, and a real tennis racquet. The bunny also hid eggs around the house. Parker thought the bunny found some silly hiding spots.

We head to Mom-Mom and Bop's house for some Easter grub. It was pouring rain so I totally forgot about taking pictures of the kids in their Easter best. I am sad because they were so cute!!

The Great Pool Disaster

Well, I had a grand idea of taking the kiddos out on the patio in the pool. They all were down for an afternoon nap, I crept outside and filled the small pool with water. With our HOT Florida sun, I figured it would warm up by the time we made it outside. Everybody was ready in their swimsuits and hats for an afternoon of splashing fun. First, we get out and Parker decides to put his truck in the pool that is full of dirt. Second, he gets wet and is screaming for a towel. At this point, I think my neighbors might call the the police. I pull the babies out of the pool for fear they might drown while I take care of the screaming. Now that he is dry and not screaming, he begins splashing like Niagra Falls. Audrey is now screaming and Parker is in time-out. Pool time is officially over but before I could get us into the house, I turn around to see all of our towels floating in the pool. I am a complete failure of a multi-tasking mother, but I did manage to get some pictures.

Good thing I have a day job!!

An "Egg"cellent Breakfast

In honor of Mason and Audrey's eighth monthday on Sunday, we let them try some egg yolks. Audrey LOVED them, but the again she loves anything that is put in front of her. Mason wasn't so sure. And Parker, *sigh* still does not like eggs. I am determined to make these babies better eaters than their favorite big brother.
