Insane lawnmower boy and bumbo sitting baby

Carter is obsessed with this construction hat now. His favorite new activity is pushing around his lawnmower while wearing the hat. He likes it even more when he's running around and can't see where he's going...of course. Watch your toes!!

Reese got to try out the Bumbo seat for the first time yesterday. I thought it was too early for it but she actually did really well and liked it. I love the picture of the two of them here...he actually looks like he likes Reese...a second after I snapped it he was rolling on the floor crying and kicking his feet because he was trying to hit her the whole time and I told him no-way Jose.

Swingset

This is the computer that DH logged onto Craigslist

And this is the windshield of my car after DH tried to fit 10 foot replacement boards into my 10 foot long car this morning when he went to Lowe's.

ARGHHHH!

2 Months Old

My baby girl is already 2 months old. She has managed thus far to survive Carter's daily attempts to throw things at her head. Sigh.
They are quite the little duo already. Carter spent this morning running around in the front yard dragging a rake, broom and snow shovel out of the garage. Why, please remind me, do we bother buying any toys??? Hopefully by this weekend we'll have a swingset...we found a nice one on Craigslist for $100. That should help me in my daily efforts to tire the boy out.

In finding said swingset, my DH has officially become a Craigslist addict. He now spends time throughout the day checking in to see what new deals have been posted. Caught him the other night looking at drills...he has 2 already, mind you. What do you need another drill for....oh I just wanted to see what was on here... arghhh

I Wuv You

Those three little words you long to hear. I Love You.

Last night when I was holding Carter to take him up to bed, I told him to tell Derrick he loved him and he turned right around and said "I Wuv You." So Sweet!

Rainy Labor Day

The many faces of baby Reese. She's a smiley kiddo these days.
So we've had an absolutely picture perfect weekend until today...the rain has moved into Pittsburgh, but that's ok. We had some errands we needed to run anyway. We bought a mattress for Carter today...so sad to think of him moving out of a crib in a short time. We also got him new shoes...only to find that he's a size and a half larger than the pair he's been wearing. Poor kid! Carter also got a new haircut today...voila!

Coloring with Chalk

I love the chalk on his nose!

Sleep!!!

Reese slept from 9:30 pm till 6:30 am....9 straight hours. Hallelujah!!!
