Skateboarding in the Kitchen

Lleyton has such a great imagination. Lleyton and Amie were playing in the kitchen and living room. Lletyon starts yelling Skateboard, mommy skateboard. Of course it really sounded like sketbarrd, mommy Sketbarrd. Lleyton was laying on is tommy with a plastic container that had his inside. he was pushing himself across the floor. Saying weeee, mommy weeee. I got him on cameara while he was then pushing his homemade "skateboard" across the kitchen floor.

Cute Bums

Who says diapers are ugly. I found this great pattern to make my own cloth diapers. They are called Rita's Rump Pocket. They Turned out great. I made 17 of them. I used 3 different flannel prints from Wal-mart. It was just my luck that the flannel was even on sale. I spent less then $18. So they were just a little over a dollar for each. yeah, that is like buying a month of disposable diapers. they are a one size diaper so, they will last until potty trained. I just use my flat diapers to stuff the pockets and they work great. the stars and flower one are my favorite. the Frog one is a strange. there eyes just kind of pop out at you.

Big Helper

I like to make my own baby food. To make cereal I just put some rice or oatmeal in the blender and blend away. but, my blender decided that it was not going to blend rice or oatmeal any more. So, I found an alternative. I pulled out the hand grinder and went to town. Lleyton thought it looked like fun and joined in. He had a blast taking turns winding and using a spoon to push the grains down. What a great helper he is!!

Fun with markers

Lleyton just loves to color. this is his first experience with markers.

We made it!!!!

We have made it safely to UT. It was a long trip. The kids did great. Sorry, I forgot to pack my cord to my camera so i could download pictures to the laptop. My memory space is very small so I only took a few pictures before it was full. We were able to spent a few days in MO with some friends. We went to the Kansas City Zoo while we were there. I will be getting more Zoo pictures soon.

Watch me go!!

Amie is crawling!! I wanted to get her on camera so Lleyton and I where trying to entice her with all kinds of toys. She just stared at us. then she saw a sticker on the floor and started going for it. Go figure.

Update to story time with Lleyton

Lleyton is no longer allowed to have story time without strict adult supervision. A few weeks ago Lleyton was reading to Amie in her crib like normal. So, I went to do something in my room. a minutes later. Lleyton comes in my room shaking his finger at me saying "No, No, baby. That's a No No book." So I went in the kids room to see Amie destroying the book. Yes, it was a Library book. lucky for me i got it in time before more damage was done. Since it was just one destroyed page the library didn't charge me. Every time I think about what happened I just have to laugh. Lleyton gets so serous when it comes to Amie doing something that is a No, no. He is such a mother hen to her. He just loves his baby Amie.

Sore gums

Nothing soothes sore gums like a Popsicle!! Yummmm. (No, I didn't open it)

Story time with Lleyton

Lleyton just loves "His" baby. Today Lleyton had story time with Amie. I heard Amie wake up from her morning nap and I also heard Lleyton talking. At first i was upset because I knew she needed to sleep longer and that Lleyton woke her up. He just hates to let her sleep during the day. So, I walked in to the room and saw Lleyton reading a book to Amie. I just had to take a picture. He is such a sweet big brother. Even thought he likes to wake her up.

I'm Sitting!!

Amie is doing a great job of sitting by herself.
