Take a Bow!

Lately Addie has loved singing her ABC's. I thought that I'd pick up the camera and let her perform for you all. She surprised me by taking a bow in all directions to her pretend audience at the end of her song. This is something I never taught her and must have been picked up from cartoons somehow. She cracks me up.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom! We miss you and we love you so much!

T-Minus 4 Days To The Office!

So since Rachelle and I got married our life has become much more sedintary. Whereas I used to look forward to hiking over the weekend, I now worry about just how many hours I can spend watching football on Saturday. Random teams, I watched Baylor vs UConn the other night, I am just that lazy. So since we have become such TV addicts it is very big news that The Office starts this Thurday. I have been missing Dwight for almost 4 months and he is finally back. Question: Is there a better show than The Office on TV right now? Answer: There was no reason for TV to exist until The Office started. We can't wait.......that's what she said!

Messy Carter

So I figure that it is time that I contribute to our blog. Rachelle has done such a good job getting this started, and as usual now that all the difficult leg work is done I will just hop on board. Addie has been getting a lot of the blog posts lately, probably because she is more animated (read crazy) and does more stuff. But the other night we decided to give Carter some mashed potatoes and let him go to town. Lately he has been staring longingly at us every time we eat. I think that he is starting to realize that life is more than formula and nasty baby food. It was really cute to watch him eat, and I think that he may be a cleaner eater than Addie!

I Think He Felt I Was Patronizing Him

The Aftermath

Time Out Baby!

So I think that Addie is a very normal toddler with her love for her baby dolls. She does all the normal things like feeding, burping, changing, and napping. But her favorite is to punish her babies on the time out stool because that is where she spends most of her day. She always has a reason, one of the many that she has been put in time out for, and makes the baby say sorry. I've got to tell you that it is something that I love to watch and usually makes me laugh. Hey, at least it shows that she listens to me and knows what she's not supposed to be doing. She just does it all anyway.

He's poopy.

Open wide.

Typical time out.

Random Acts of Biting

This is a vent post for all those who may have ever had a child with a mouth fetish. My precious Addie is one of those. From the moment of her discovery that she can put things in her mouth, she's been chewing ever since. I've had many comforters assuring me that she'll "grow out of it" but have yet to see the light at the end of that tunnel. This picture is just this morning while she's watching her cartoons. Her favorite chew toys are books (anything paper), shoes, and fake plants. Sounds like a dog, how sad! If you don't believe me, I've captured just a few of the things around my home with her mark. If you have any suggestions I'll gladly take them!

The Worm

Okay so here's another trial run. I wanted to see if I could get video to work with our blog. I'm still learning here. This is just a bit of Carter crawling, or what we like to call the worm. He's awfully close to the real thing though!

Zoo

We decided (after multiple suggestions) to join the blogging world. No promises as to how often we'll keep it updated, but we're willing to give it a shot. Hopefully through this process you can see a little more of our lives here in Georgia, with all the mischief and mayhem.

We took the kids to the Columbia, SC Zoo for the first time on Monday and thought you'd enjoy the pictures. Addie was in heaven. Honestly I think her favorite thing was the little kids train.
