Sprinkler Park

The boys and I met up with a bunch of mamas & babies at the sprinkler park.


There's a little button you can push that will make water shoot out of the ground in long, arcing streams. Most of the babies weren't too fond of being sprayed in the face. Others ran right up to the spouts and waited eagerly for it.


Joseph started making his way across the battlefield...


...and got caught in the cross-fire of 3 different water streams and was none too happy about it.


But as you can see, he quickly got over it.


And the peasants rejoiced.



Luke wasn't interested in getting wet. Instead he spent the afternoon fixated on his monkey.


After making eyes at each other all day, they tried running off into the sunset. But never made it too far under Mama's watch. I think I'm in trouble if we ever lose that damn thing.


The boys are 11 months, 2 weeks & 2 days old.

One Sleepy Baby

Apologies. I'm getting pretty constant reminders of what a bad blogger I am (Mom!) so just wanted to say sorry about that! It's shameful, I know.

But to make up for it, here's a pretty cute video of Luke about to pass out at dinner.



Poor baby. Their naps have been all messed up lately, trying to drop down to one per day but not quite having the stamina for it yet. Luke has always needed a bit more sleep than Joseph, and today he just could not hang on for a second longer.

I scooped him up, hoping to get him through bath time & changed for bed as quickly as possible.

And, ummm, not so much...


All he was interested in was rolling over onto his belly to get comfy and falling asleep. I managed to get him out of his clothes, changed his diaper and got him into pj's without a single peep. Sweet boy. :)


I have lots more that I've been meaning to post, and I promise to work on those soon. Look for some sneaky back-dated blogs to come. Sorry again for the hiatus. And, FYI, mobility is highly over-rated.

Post-Bath Ritual

Every. Single. Night.




Oh, but he's not done yet. Until there's nothing left, he won't let us put on a diaper or his pj's.





It's a losing battle so we've resigned ourselves to defeat.
