Toys

Someone suggested to us that this child doesn't have enough toys...

Saturday June 8, 2013

Don't listen to my parents, of course I need more toys.

Mother's Day

Peanut gave me two new mommy & baby books for me to read to him for Mother's Day. Oh, and donuts for breakfast. :) I decided to work off the donuts in the afternoon by mowing the backyard. Daddy had to keep pushing the stroller to the backyard because Peanut got fussy if he couldn't see me. Below are pictures of him with a Texas Longhorns cap handed down from his cousins. He decided he'd rather eat it than wear it.

Birthday weekend

Friends surprised me Saturday with a little birthday party. Jennifer hadn't met Peanut yet, so they had a grand time getting to know each other. Below, he's attempting to chew on her shirt sleeve.

Sunday we saw friends briefly, then just came home and relaxed. Well, Peanut & I relaxed while daddy mowed the backyard. It was a little too chilly to hang out outside.

Peanut was wearing a cute hoodie shirt but it's hard to tell because he must be bibbed pretty much At All Times because of the amount of Drool.

Baptism

 

Your children are not your children.

They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness.
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.

Spring has sprung

We went for a walk down the block on Sunday. It was so nice. I think Peanut really enjoyed it. Then we went off-roading in the stroller to our backyard, where dad was chopping up the Christmas tree. Yes, you read that correctly. We still had our Christmas tree hanging out in the backyard. Not quite as bad as leaving holiday lights strung on the house in April, but only by a little.

 

It was definitely a day for free toes. 

 

 

Are you looking at my pigs?

Zzzzzz

Another sleeping picture, but this one was too sweet not to share. This was Saturday morning sometime. I can't really remember why he was only in a diaper. I think he might have been fussy from teething, so he curled up against dad in our bed to take a little nap before we started our day with the Easter Bunny. What a little man.

18 Weeks

Today was Peanut's 4 month pediatrician appointment. He weighed in at 15 lbs 2 oz and was 26 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for weight and the 80th percentile for height. Basketball player? 

He got a shot in each thigh. It wasn't as bad as the shots he got at 2 months, but it still hurt my heart to hear him cry like that. He thought he was just having fun at a new place and meeting people (I'm assuming he didn't really remember his doctor from 2 months ago).

I was telling her about his bottom tooth, when his dad informed us that he has a SECOND tooth right next to the first one, that's popped up. He's been a pretty easy baby for sprouting two teeth in the past week. I think we'll get him a pony.
