Thank you Fisher Price

Ok, so Fisher Price may not want my ideas but I still like them.

I might even love them. The reason? One word: Neglect-a-roo. I mean Jumperoo.

We got it out over the weekend and Little Dude LOVES it. I think he may like it more than Stowa liked it. He kind of goes crazy in there. Which is adorable.

Patches is getting old

Happy birthday Patches!

I have an idea

Stowa is busying being cute these days. Sure there are days that I want to throw her on the next bus to boarding school, but overall she is a sweet and funny little girl.

She's big on having ideas. She often walks up to me and says "I have an idea". Her idea is usually "65 98". I haven't deciphered what it means yet but I always tell her that it's a great idea. She has also learned the alphabet. She can sing the whole thing. I love it.

Some of her other cuteness includes, but is not limited to:

• Standing just outside my bedroom when I'm laying the baby down for a nap YELLING "I'm being quiet mama"
• Letting us know that we're awake now because our eyes are open
• She puts on her white bathrobe and tells me that she's just like daddy at work
• I made her a wrap for her baby because she wanted to wear her baby like I wear my baby
• She exclaims that things are her favorite
• She has memorized a bunch of her books. No more skipping pages.
• She insists on hearing the story of how "she was born in a hospital and had a checkup" every single night before bed
• She loves her baby brother and tells him all time
• She loves the cats and is so gentle with them
• I think she's convinced that her name is Dr. Stowa Lastname
• Because of that, we all get check ups everyday
• She has decided that her aunt is Goldilocks
• Bedtime is always 2 more minutes away
• She uses the bouncy seat as a trampoline but she tells us she's doing pull ups
  

4 months old

Little dude is my tiny giant. He's weighing in at 15 lbs and he's 2 feet 1.5 inches. Hitting all the appropriate milestones. Yay for big healthy babies!

We're on a roll!

Little Dude rolled over today! He's been trying so hard the last few days. Tonight when I was getting his bath ready he did it! Back to front. Proud mama tonight.

Little Dude

I think I've got a case of "second baby" syndrome. It involves a lot of guilt. You know how with a first baby, the parents have a plethora of pictures and a baby book over flowing with cards, notes, etc. And then with a second baby, there just aren't as many pictures and the baby book is purchased but it's not quite filled out. There is more to it, but you get the idea.

I feel bad for Little Dude. I try to take pics on a regular basis. But our camera is on the fritz. I feel like I use to blog about Stowa a lot. I don't blog in general as often anymore, but when I do it's never really about Little Dude.

Poor kid.

So here is my update on him. He's adorable. Lots of smiles for mama. He thinks I'm the best thing ever. He sleeps from 9:30 pm to 8 am, waking only about once to eat. He's a chunk. I'm totally blaming him for the severe back pain that I had last week. I think he's going to get bottom teeth soon. He's pretty drooly and hasn't taken his hand out of his mouth in a about a month. He's thisclose to rolling over from his back to his belly. He is a snuggler. Also a bit of a Linus, he loves having a blankie with him. Not any specific blanket yet, but I can see him being a kid with a lovie.

And with that, he is up from his first nap of the day.
