Teddy Bears

When Dad finds the big bin of giant teddy bears at the store...

Help, I'm sinking!  Anyone gonna get me out of here?

Climbing

Climbing on everything!

Getting settled for a nap now takes a crazy amount of time because every time you think he's pretty much asleep, he somehow stands up and acts all happy and cute.

Thing 2

Halloween 2015...

Compared to the same time in 2016...

What a difference a year makes.

Uh Oh..

Danny and I got to spend the morning together yesterday because there was no daycare.  It was a blast!  I've determined that working part time is perfect.  I got to spend all morning with him, put away laundry, sanitized bottles, and made dinner.  Then I got to go teach kids in the afternoon.  Perfection.

He was full of milestones yesterday.  He can now go from lying down to sitting up by himself.  I went to get him from his nap and he was sitting in the crib.  He also took two crawling steps that weren't scoots.  Scooting is still his fastest method of moving though.  But, he also was climbing all over everything and pulling to stand.

This morning while he was in his crib as we got ready for the day, he managed to do this...

He's on his knees in the picture, but for about 5 seconds, he got up onto his feet.  Then he toppled over, thankfully not hitting his head on anything but his mattress.

We now have a whole new level of surfaces we need to keep clear.  And we need to somehow remind him that he's not as strong as he thinks and he can fall backwards very easily.

More Pictures

Some more random photos + election day!

This weekend Danny wore these pants and a t-shirt.  He looked so old!

Playing on the floor of the CAC (theatre) during the Sunday performance of Sister Act.

My new favorite picture!  These two goofballs smiling away!

Now for election day.  Danny went to the polls with me this morning to cast our vote!  We didn't get a sticker, but we got this slip from the bottom of my ballot.  It was fun to eat!

And finally, the picture I was going to post with a caption about Danny's excitement about Hillary's win.  But now that's looking like it's not going to happen.  So instead I'll post it with a caption about how no matter who this country decides to elect as president, I know that we am raising a happy, caring, generous, kind, and thoughtful kid.

Random Pictures

A new method for keeping the bean on the bed while we're getting dressed..

Surround him with all the blankets.  This will work for approximately 3 days until he figures out how to climb over them.

Random photo of our color coordinated outfits on Friday morning. 

And lastly, a couple of pictures of him playing in the grass during the matinee performance of Sister Act.

Halloween Fun

Well, this post is a little overdue, but it was tech week for our musical so I've been working 15 hour days.  Thankfully the musical opened last night so now we just have 5 more shows and 1 more rehearsal and then it's OVER.  I'll actually get to see my family!!

Despite never being home, I did actually have off on Monday night, so we were able to decorate some fall cookies and take some Halloween photos.

There's a little marshmallow man on his first Halloween.  No trick or treating or anything of course..maybe next year.
