2 Month Update!

2 months have passed- so much has been happening. 

Christopher started his 3rd season of baseball- I know he likes it, but he asks quite often if he can try other sports too. This summer he wants to try a soccer camp and do golf camp again. He keeps asking about football too and I keep ignoring that question. I figure at this age my job is to expose him to as many sports as I can and let him decide- well except football. I also asked if he wanted to go to a camp that taught him how to read to which he replied- I will learn to read by you reading books to me, mommy. Christopher also had his kindergarten screening. He said he got to play with Legos, color and do his letters and numbers. He also was sure to tell me at first that they DID NOT ask him his daddy's phone number- which he is having a hard time remembering. When we were little, it was just memorize your home number, but now we had to decide which to teach him first- daddy's cell, mommy's cell or the home phone. Sister walked in to meet him while he was coloring. She came back to tell me she met Christopher and she said "He was quite focused on his coloring."  And I totally knew what that meant. There have been many days I have come home from work and he has been coloring and all I get is a "hi" with a head down. He is quite the colorer I will say. 

Everything in the world belongs to Caleb. I love it when Loki comes around and he yells MINE. He loves Me Mou (Mickey Mouse) and gives the best kisses. My favorite is the Christopher kiss. I was making dinner one night and I kept hearing Christopher laughing and Caleb make the kiss noise over and over and I turn around and he had his hands on Christopher's face kissing him. Caleb also needs a haircut like no other but his hair does this perfect little flip out and looks adorable- maybe before the beach he will get one. :) He did just recently have his 18 month checkup- like 90% for height... and 10% for weight. He is soooooo tiny. His 18 month clothes are quite big on him. He is still so stinkin' cuddly and sweet. 

Lots of pics below! 


the 100th day of school!




We went to the GA Tech/Notre Dame game. Christopher decided he is no longer a Notre Dame fan because they didn't bring their cheerleaders. 


J. Crew had matching daddy/son shirts! Matt has had his for awhile so his is a tad faded. Perfect Valentine's Day outfits though. :) 
This child NEVER sleeps during the day. I had to document it. 




Stuffing his face, as always. 


Bedhead. He loves his sleep.

Sometimes waffles with ice cream and strawberries is dinner. 

This child loves him a French Dip. Thanks Lisa for the scrumptious easy as pie recipe!





Christopher performed at the Fish Fry with his preschool. I wish you could see the little girl on the right. She is the only girl invited to his birthday. 

Matt swears this looks like Caleb. It is me when I was a little older than him. Mom found an autobiography I wrote about myself in 6th grade. 

Opening Day parade. I made the banner. 

Don't they look excited!! 


My headband for running. I had mentioned to Matt (like around Christmas) that I wished I had a headband that covered my ears and had a hole for my ponytail.... C made me one last week. 


18 month checkup. 

He copied that from Caleb's chair. 


Caleb loves play-doh.




Christopher's class pet came home with him a couple weeks ago! 

Lunch at Miss L's. 



Okay. I think that's it!! Lots of pics- have a great week!! :)

The Fun Continues

After the Christmas holiday, we had more family come to town! We were so excited to see our wonderful cousins from West Virginia. The last time they saw Caleb he was 10 months old, so he had definitely changed a lot. Francesca stayed at our house, so Christopher was super excited. She helped him clean his Lego room and she did my hair everyday. :)

Christopher started ice skating a couple of weeks ago. In random conversation, I asked if he wanted to try karate or ice skating... and ice skating won, so his grandparents got that as part of his Christmas present. He LOVES it.

Enjoy the pics!!

A beautiful day for golf... this was before the ice and snow!

Caleb and his Pittsburgh Penguins pillow pet from Uncle Anthony and Aunt Sara. He loves snuggling   up on it in the night. 

So this is why Christopher needed to have his lego room cleaned... Francesca did a fabulous job! 

Caleb, Dine, thumb and Mike.

Mike is a high school baseball coach so you know we had to go to the batting cages to get some pointers! 

You can only throw balls in the house at Granddady's... I love Raquel's face in this one. She nailed Christopher. 

The boys enjoying Caleb's present from Sharon.

Helping with crafts! 

Caleb trying to make it to midnight on New Years... he made it to 8:30. :)

The Captain America crew. 

My superheroes.

Matt and I on New Years.

Caleb loved Mike.

First ice skating lessons! He learned to glide last week. 

My little buddy and I so happy that it was Friday and snow coming.

Bugles fingers!

Christopher enjoying the snow... ice.... the morning after. 

Matt's way of cleaning... a beer and the grabber.

Christopher loves to build with his magnets. He makes some pretty cool houses.

Shoveling snow- he was a worker guy. 

Swinging after dinner in downtown Acworth. 

Maybe another update on Monday... we have a busy weekend on tap.
