My BIG boy!!

Whit has made quite a discovery lately. You guessed it...Kennedy's room! He LOVES to be in there. There are so many good toys to play with. :) I was packing for the beach and they were playing this afternoon. I turned around and he was playing in the kitchen!! It is so funny how he is ready for so many of her toys. She didn't get a kitchen until she was 2 and here is my BABY, old enough to play in it! I love these pictures. He was determined to get the tea pot because he knew she hides things in it. Then he was so excited to get all of the stuff out. She was not so happy...that is her dress in the corner of the bottom picture. She was running to get it from him! Gotta love brother sister love...:)

On another note, my BIG boy went to the doctor today. He weighed in at 18 lbs 12 ounces! WOW! That is a pound in less than a month! A year is sneaking up on us fast....I love this baby. I looked up Kennedy's words at about the same age and I found that she said the same things he does now. Except she said Dew and not MaMa...hmmm....what does that mean?

Does the pool make you tired?

It does this to Kennedy!

I am SO going to love nap time this summer! Woo Hoo!!

The sweetest sounds on earth

Ok, ok, there are a lot of sweet sounds on earth. BUT,when you are the mommy of two precious children there are some very sweet sounds that come from your house. I walked into Michelle's today and Kennedy runs up to me and gives me a huge hug! I love that! Then I see little Whit in the middle of everyone, get so excited when he sees me. Then I hear....Mamamamamama!!! Oh, yes he did! He has said it before but not at such an appropriate time. You know this mommy was happy! Michelle and Sandi were having a conversation and totally ignored our moment, BUT it was our moment I guess. I'll remember it forever! :) Then as we were leaving I am talking to Michelle and I hear Whit say, "bye bye!" to Michelle! My BABY is turning into a little boy all too fast. Somewhere in my heart I thought that things would not be as amazing this time around. I find myself so proud of my son at each of his little accomplishments. I am constantly amazed at how he has grown and changed over the past ten months. I never knew a boy would catch your heart like he does. Now, as I talk to my son and he talks back our relationship will continue to grow. It is such an amazing bond. I am so, so thankful to have been given my little surprise. I cannot imagine our home without my precious boy in it. We are so proud of you Whit! Those are some of the sweetest sounds this mommy has ever heard!!

I took a great video and can't seem to get it loaded. UGHH!! So you get the picture I took with the video...:) Look at those juicy legs! he..he...

Brush your teeth!

It broke through!!! Whit got his 3rd tooth today. It was his top left one and you can now see it poking out! 10 months old and now finally another tooth! My babies take a while to get teeth. This is actually much faster than Kennedy. She got her third at 14 months! To celebrate the kids brushed their teeth together this morning. I love how close in age they are. Who said 18 months apart is too close in age? I am beginning to love it!

The Beach!!

Finally...PICTURES! Here are some of my favorites from the weekend. It was Whit's first "real" trip to the beach. His first he really didn't get to get into the water it was WAY too cold. Kennedy is a beach bum at heart. It is one of her happiest places on earth. She gets is honest...MeMe and Mommy are the same way. Whit was a bit overwhelmed at first but he really enjoyed it. The water was freezing. Throw in the fact that the baby has no fat on him and it made for a little shivering baby. I had to change his suit twice just to warm him up. Then off he goes to get back in! We are going to have a fun, and very BUSY, summer!

Every baby needs a sweet little white hat, right? I knew this would happen but I bought it anyways... He is so cute with it on!

2 seconds later...

I love sandy toes..

Heaven!

Sick day turned wonderful!

Kennedy has had a virus this week. I had to break down and take a day off from work. Not a big deal to most people but, I don't get paid to do that! She woke up today with no fever and has been fine. We ate a late breakfast. The kids played. Whit took a nap. Kennedy watched a movie. We went out to swing with Drew. We ate lunch. The kids went down for a nap. I went out on the deck and got some sun for about an hour. I read a magazine, a WHOLE magazine! Hmmmm.....I love lazy days. And lazy days of summer are the best! If I could have thrown in the pool today it would have been perfect! :) I am SO looking forward to SUMMER!! Only one more week until the big Prosser/Olliff beach vacation! Yay!! The countdown is on!

Oh, and sorry for the lack of pictures. My pictures are still being held hostage in my camera. My USB cord should be on it's way from Darien tomorrow! :)

Potty Trained?

Kennedy: Mommy, SuSu told me I not potty trained. I tee teed in my big girl panties. She made me wear a diaper.
Me: Well, Kennedy maybe you should tee tee in the potty and you could wear big girl panties all the time.
Kennedy: Mommy, I not potty trained!

Ok, Kennedy, you will get a few more days until summer but really, my dear. If we can have this conversation you can be potty trained!! What am I going to do with her?
