This and That

The weather is absolutely gorgeous lately! The cooler weather ( 90 degrees!!) has made it easier to play outside with Leo in longer stretches= a very worn out boy! He woke up yesterday morning and came out to the couch wrapped himself up in the blanket and said "still sleepy...watch Thomas" so he spent a relaxing 45 minutes sipping on milk watch Thomas before starting his day!

sleepy head!

He has been changing so rapidly lately, his sentences are forming  more and more and his words are becoming so clear. There are a few sayings that I don't really know what he is talking about but those are few and far between.  I almost miss his baby talk but then we have Lily on the other side of the spectrum where she is just beginning to form her words, which is fun to hear! She FINALLY has said Mama!! Praise the Lord She does love me! Other words that are common to hear from her are "dada" "no. no. no" "ya ya" and NOW "mama" She also is a huge fan of blowing raspberries...she unfortunately has spit on several strangers while out running errands. Good thing she is such a cute baby!

Lazy morning

Jenkins doesn't know about Lily yet...

playing away in his room

With Fall just around the corner I am really getting my mind set on making a routine for Leo. This has been a huge fail of mine over the summer, we have been very leisure on what we do and he stays up until about 930 on average so I really need to get my act together. We are setting a time to use flash cards and he loves to color. I plan on making a reading/quiet time before his nap so that he settles down a bit before going to sleep, that boy could go,go, go if I'd let him!

Playing the rain! 

Leo since he has been staying up later he always ends up asking "where did Lily go" after she goes to bed...it takes alot of effort to not have him go "awake" her up! He loves to play this "go sleep/awake" game where he lays down closes his eyes "snores" saying he's "tired" then within a few seconds he pops up saying "Leo awake!" He does this with Lily also so when she actually is sleeping he doesn't like that she isn't playing! He always ends up in her crib saying "Lily awake!!" Crazy boy...

Speaking of "crazy boy" I should stop calling him that because he has started this taz-manian devil spin where he spins in circles, spits a little with his tongue and then shouts "I'm crazy" followed but hysterical laughter...it actually is very hilarious! I need to video it, but he's so quick!

Putting on Mommy's glasses while refusing to change his diaper.  silly boy!
