The Two Sillies

Lilly is very keen on being silly.  And silly she is.  She really likes to flip upside down on her bean bag chair.  And then she tells us that Adlai jumps on her.  Did he?  Or is she pulling him down?  Ignore all the extra skin, we are just happy she puts on clothes that covers appropriate parts.

 

I have to catch them in the act.

Adlai is still not always super stable on his feet.  We find him like this often:

 

What's funny is that he still doesn't really roll over from back to front so we can usually put him down like this and find him there at a later time.  A bit turtle like.

And Lilly with her little piece of hair that she chews stuck to her face.

 

She wonders how we know that she is still doing it.  We told her she needs her hair cut but she wants to grow it really long.  We'll see how this goes since she really hates to have her hair brushed or put it up.

My Helper

Adlai got a walking toy from a little girl who has a sister in Lilly's class.  Did that make sense?  Anyway, the cart has little blocks in it.  The blocks are currently spread out throughout the house and the car.  Since Adlai is still trying to focus on walking and can't control the fact that the cart likes to speed off without him, I had to weight it down.

 

Why yes!  It is weighted down with clean, wet laundry.  He helped me take it from the washer to the indoor clothes racks.  Saved me a few trips!

Have Some Sugar un-Birthday Boy!

 We didn't get to celebrate Adlai's birthday on his birthday because of the timing.  Too much going on.  Not enough hours in the day.  But we got there and Adlai got his cupcake.

But first he had to eat his dinner:

Noodles and veggies are on the top of the must eat now list.

 And then one cupcake for the little boy:

Notice he is fairly clean, his tray and floor, not so much.

What's more is those cupcakes weren't crumbly at all.  He destroyed that cupcake!

Would You Like Snot With That?

Snotty noses have taken over our lives.  Along with snot comes the tissues.

Someone has a love hate relationship with tissues.

He hates them on his nose, but ripping them to shreds . . .

love.

Happy Birthday, Dear Adlai!

One year!  Oh my goodness!  I've loved it all.  Ok, maybe not getting up in the middle of the night but am I really going to complain?  Some people get very little sleep.  We got lots of sleep with lots of interruptions.  I can't complain.

At 1 year

We have a walker.

Adlai loves peas and fruit and pasta.

He loves his sister, most days.

Adlai loves music.

 

He babbles, sings, anything to make himself heard.

He is loved.

Happy Birthday, Seth!

So, Seth isn't a fan of birthdays.  I did call a few of his friends so he could chat with them but that's about as good as I could do.  So, instead of a picture of him, I've given everyone an awesome view from our front door.  And that is the current car, a fully loaded Mondeo.  You only need the key to be in the vicinity in order to open a locked door or start the car.  It's pretty cool.

Getting Ready

Having back to back birthdays can be a little chaotic. So I did what I could and hoped for the best.

I made cookies for a school event plus cupcakes and a one tier cake for the boys and their birthdays.


And yes, those are Halloween cupcake holders. I'm going to go with the idea that no one will notice.

And while I baked, Adlai got into as much trouble as he possibly could.
