I Still Love These
Soooo Stuart doesn't really know how to focus the camera and when he picked it up to take a picture the other day I didn't check them afterward... oh well! STILL love them. And this is (blurry) proof that I am still alive. BUSY! But alive.

Strawberry Popsicles
Well we've had a "heat warning" here in AZ for what seems like FOREVER!! So the last few days the little munchkin has had an afternoon treat after we go swimming. It's hilarious how at first he doesn't want to touch it and then within 30 seconds he is fully invested in devouring the (all fruit!) entire thing-including licking his fingers.

My Mom's 50th Bday Party
So last weekend I helped my dad to throw my Mom her 50th birthday party and it ended up being so perfect for her. I sometimes struggle with my birthday and she is such a great example of loving the day. I should be more like that.
Menu: Hoisin Chicken Skewers, Cilantro Lime Rice, Egg Rolls, Fruit Salad, Green Salad, Barefoot Contessa Coconut Cake/Cupcakes, Browned Butter Island Cookies
*My mouth is watering just typing all of that out. I wish there had been more leftovers!
I wish I had taken pictures when all of their friends were there but I was too busy so these are just some pre-party with my immediate family and then with my mom's brother and his wife. As you can see, my baby is just ignored all the time :)
I wish I had know that this was going to happen so that I could warn her but I had no idea! I was taking pictures of her blowing out the candles and all of a sudden my brothers and Stuart decided to silly string my mom. They got her so good-I felt really bad. Stuart was super happy the plan worked as you can see in the picture. I'm so happy she is a good sport-I probably would have been mad and not laughing!

Four Generations
After nearly a year of trying to get this picture, failing to only get 2 or 3 of them at a time, it FINALLY happened! Taken at Papa's 82nd birthday bash last Sunday. Success feels good.

San Diego Beach Trip 2011
So for the first four beach days this little boy would not touch the sand! He was a man on an island. This made me very happy and I never had to clean him up... just wait until the last picture.
Pool Day at Aviara. Dinner at Phils BBQ. Jane being the best babysitter and reading books to the two munchkins. Bathtime, these little boys are going to be best friends.
Dinner at Aunt Janette's, he loved the swing and he was super giggly.
Little man took a nap on Dad every morning. He hasn't been able to sleep on our shoulders in months... must have been the lull of the ocean waves. Heaven.
Building sand castles with Jane and burying Uncle Stuart.
Stuart dug a large hole for Jane's "house" and he built her a secret passageway. She was thrilled!
Like I said, wait until the end! The last day at the beach he suddenly decided that sand was alright and he started eating it! I was devastated, but of course pictures had to be taken. Thanks Abby!
This was pretty cute, he ate all the sand and then decided to hang out with Nana. She fed him oranges and let him mess up her Real Simple Magazine and he was in heaven.
Bruno's Pizza and S'mores by the pool for our last night. It was so yummy.
I love this vacation. It is so relaxing. Can't wait to go back next year!

10 Months
How do I have a 10 month old? I swear I was just freaking out about him figuring out how to roll over. Everyone always says that once you have kids time just flies and I really didn't want them to be right... I miss the newborn stage sometimes, but then he will do something that just makes me laugh hysterically (he is starting to figure out that he is funny) and I forget all about that. Currently he is:
-OBSESSED with climbing up everything (ie stairs, chairs, toys, shelves) but has not quite mastered the art of getting down. Gates are by both sets of stairs and he hollers for me to come help him sit down when he has decided he has had enough standing by the couch or by the shelves.
-says mama, dada, nighnigh (this actually means "no no"-odd), baboo (peak-a-boo), baba (bottle, water, ball-really sometimes I have to test out which one it might be), uh uh uh (uhoh-this one is hilarious)
-still doesn't care for his car-seat but we made it through a San Diego trip last week
-LOVES all fruits and veggies
-starting to give up his afternoon bottle
-loves swimming
-loves his blankies
-REALLY loves when daddy comes home
-wants our phones and computers-all the time
-new trick is that he throws his binkie at his bedroom door and jabbers for 20 minutes in his crib until you go up to cuddle him and give it back. I need to break him of this habit-like yesterday-but that would mean breaking him of the binkie which I am not ready to do. Until that point, we'll be going up at bedtime to give it back. Sorry Stu.
You sure do keep us on our toes!
