Got my keys!!

Movin on up into the car walker!! He's been pulling up on the furniture, but not daring enough to try it alone just yet.

Aunt Mere's Baby Shower

Brooklyn & I had a girls day @ a shower for baby Xavier.

The new norm in our house- D tackles B if she's on his toys!

All the toys in the world, & his choices are plastic bags, the kitchen garbage can, & staring down a toilet.

Getting the new toys out again! He's pulling up on everything

What am I in for?....conversations with B

Visualize: We're getting ready to leave for daycare. I'm at the garage door with Dylan in his car seat on one arm, her lunch bag, her backpack & my purse on the other. "BROOKLYN......IT'S TIME TO GO. MEET ME AT THE GARAGE DOOR!"

Casually stolling around the corner comes a pair of feet & eye balls wearing her bright pink Dora sunglasses, because that's all I saw of her!

"Books, You're allowed to bring ONE THING in the car each morning, You've got 4."
(She had her JK blanket, Dylans' JK blanket, her kitty, & his bird.)

....and this is her response.......

"Mom, I DO have just 1 thing. 1 PILE. Do you know what a PILE IS?"

annnnnnnd so I let her bring all 4 since she was usin' her noggin' on that one!!

IT's been almost 2 full months now that she's been carrying Allie's picture around with her. We went down to the animal shelter today just so she could see & pet a number of cats/dogs, hoping this would get something? out of her system. We saw about a 6 month black lab being adopted right as we were leaving- she thought it was one of Allie's babies. She's played with a beagle named BUD that was apparently on the news that morning for awhile! She's definately an animal lover, & I survived not coming home with a new pet. Hopefully this helped her for a little while.

No camera, so here's your visual.
We put Dylan in a baby swing at the park. There's so much extra room in there & he's leaning forward. B wants to stand in front & push him. She give him the ol 'heave ho' & he barely starts to swing, but he's crackin up. He swings back forward & grabs a handfull of her hair. He's laughing even harder, thinking he's "caught her," & she starts in with "now Dylan, we've talked about this....NO PULLIN MY HAIR!"
