R&R #2

Papa, Nana and McH (holding Monkey). They were feeding fish, I believe.

Checking out something that was apparently pretty cool.

My boys.

My special picture ... I'm going to use this to remind my lovely husband just how difficult a 2 year old can be!!!

Trying to play with the otters ... see them in front of Monkey's right hand?

We spent a lot of time with McH's parents. Here is Monkey and one of his cousins "playing" cards!

Monkey learning how to efficiently eat oreos with milk!


McH and Papa being very cool.

Monkey trying out a Dora tube. He did fine as long as he could hold the string of my swimsuit. He's such a great little swimmer! Ignore the end of the second video where Monkey decided it was funny to smack mommy ... possibly because we were all laughing!

More to come later!!!

Temper, leg warmers, heels and food

Monkey is very into socks lately ... namely MY socks. There will be more coming, I'm sure, but here are a few of his "leg warmers". I can't remember why at the moment, but he was throwing a tantrum.

The tantrum wasn't hard to keep up with Dora on tv.

Cissy brought a pair of my shoes that I'd left in AZ. Seems Monkey also enjoys wearing mommy's shoes ... make sure to check out the hi-frickin-larious vid!

Monkey loves getting a ride at Walmart!

Tonight we went for dinner at Cracker Barrell. Monkey had a delicious meal of mac 'n cheese. After he finished it, he decided that Cissy's dinner looked pretty good.

We also had a really fab dessert.

But, these two obviously thought the other had something better.

I love ... LOVE watching these two together. I have the chance to see my son through a different set of eyes and I see my mom through his. My life would be perfect if McH were home.

Back with a vengence! We have nice weather for about five minutes a year here in good 'ole Texas. The mornings aren't too bad, but it's been super muggy after about 11a. Yuck. Here's monkey finally wearing the sunglasses I bought him 2 years ago. We were playing out in the back ... he was having a blast until the ants found him ... ugh.




And, the glasses are gone. I'm bummed this came out a little blurry. Looks like he's wandering a jungle!


And ... my nosey nelly! Part of the fence was rotted, so for a few months he's been able to see pretty clearly into our neighbors backyard and probably wondering why they have a lovely manicured lawn and he gets the jungle!




We also made our first trek to Chuck E. Cheese since he's been old enough to get it. I couldn't believe how these two played ... first of all, she's a year younger, though you'd never know it by size! Second, she's a brawler and my little guy is a lover. But, they had a good time together until his other girlfriend grabbed his attention!

BALLOONS!

This is the true love of his life ... well, after mommy, daddy and Cissy. Depending on the day, she's first and sometimes the other grandparents and friends are on his list!

If Daddy is accurate at 300 meters, than he's sure going to match that!

These two are so cute. She typically ignores him for the first hour, but after that she's practically ... well, actually literally dragging him around by whatever part of him she's able to grab and hold on to. Girl knows what she wants!
