Fun Times!

Making pea eyed meatball monsters....
Making a mess with meatballs mashed potatoes and peas!
What's it like with two kids at home?????
FUN FUN.....FFFFUUUUUUNNNNN!


Aren't they just the silliest? Boy,... do these two go together ......like bologna and cheese, maybe???




Shaun with his "yankee-blankee"...
every morning, Shaun trots out of his room carrying his blankee! It is the cutest thing ever!
It stays by his side most of the day and when we travel he caries a 12X12 swatch of the fleece! Funny to think I bought this fleece about 6 years ago......I must have known!





Big Sis! Abby Liz is really enjoying reading to Shaun! This is perfect practice for her and just stepping back and listening to her is so sweet!
Well, approaching our 7 week mark of being home and I have to say that life is GREAT! Everyone has adjusted very nicely and we are on schedule, which is SOOOO IMPORTANT!
Shaun is such a sweet boy! He is showing us so much more everyday! He loves anything we give him to eat. He has done well with out a bottle and is just using a sippie cup. Nothing at night and wakes up just once if he is wet! He sleeps most nights from 8pm to 7 am. He is napping everyday for at least 2 hours.
He can say, Mama, Daddy, Abby, ball, boo, and crabby (Abby has a a new pet hermit crab!).
He babbles constantly and points to everything. He can blow kisses, gives kisses, give hugs and waves bye-bye. Also, if you ask him where Shaun is, he will point to his belly. He is super curious and very smart. It has been fun just watching him figure things out.
He can be very calm or super crazy, but all at the right times! He laughs continuously and I mean super loud belly laughs! Who wouldn't love that?

I have been following your blog from Australia and love it! How did you get the bottle off Shaun at such an early age? I have just taken Jaxin's bottle from him , one week before his 5th birthday!!

Sharon,

We took Shaun off the bottle for one reason..........he kept pulling on the nipple and getting milk EVERYWHERE! We just starting giving him his sippy cup instead. We also took his evening drink away at the same time. He seemed to be eating well enough for him not to need it. My son loves food! He loves feeding himself and all the new variety he has here. We give him dinner at about 6, then we give him a belly filling snack about 30 minutes before bed with a sippy of milk. It has worked out well for all of us! :)
I am so glad you are enjoying our blog. We enjoy posting!
