This little turkey-pie just turned 6 months a few days ago. I JUST had him! I know everyone says that but these past 6 months have gone by way too fast. He is about the cutest thing since...well since I had my other cute babe! During the day he is super cute and smiley. He is ticklish and has a sweet little chuckle. During the night, he is a monster. Many people have heard me call him this and they just laugh. What they don't know is that I really mean it! He's not the best sleeper....he'll learn right? We call him  our little screech owl because he is always screeching...high-ptich, eardrum-busting, screeching. I just started him on fruits and veggies. When I give him veggies, he spits it out and gives me a dramatic horrified look.Why on earth does this kid think he can be so strong-willed already? He wants his momma and only his momma. Oh and his passy. He sure does love David though(and dad of course)...they make each other giggle and smile all the time...and cry all the time. Weird habbit of his: he rubs his feet together so much that they become raw and gets sores, unless we have socks on him. Another weird habit: he pulls the blanket over his face when he sleeps. It's not really weird, just scary. He still has brown eyes and I love them, they remind me of Lance's eyes. We love this little guy to pieces! Can you just slow down this growing for the next 6 months? Or just the next 18 years?

Spring Training

 We had a bittersweet spring training this year....maybe a touch more on the bitter side:-) BUT I like to focus on the sweet stuff. We got to spend time with grandma and poppa B and lots of other family which was our favorite part. We stayed in Kissimmee this year so we were super close to Disney and all of the other fun stuff in Orlando. We actually got a pay-once-go-all-year pass to Seaworld so that became a weekly extravaganza for us! Now David thinks that is what every little 2 year old gets to do on a weekly basis...

These two hooligans never let grandma or poppa come down the driveway without hitching a ride on their laps!

I found this picture from last spring training...crazy how fast they grow!

The picture on the left is also from last year at the Alligator Farm. I can't believe how big David has grown in the past year. Kinda makes me sad!






This was super cute, catching David sharing his cars with Gavin!

Sometimes they make my blood boil...well maybe just simmer....but they melt my heart with their little chubby-faced smiles! Love my boys.

Easter

Life has been pretty darn crazy these past few weeks for us so Easter felt so last-minute and unorganized...I don't think anyone really minded but me! I still have the Easter eggs full of candy that were never hidden, sitting in our pantry(well maybe...Lance and I have been chowing down); I have adorable liners for the boys' baskets but no baskets;  if it weren't for Grandma and Poppa Pendleton, David, the poor kid, wouldn't even have hunted for eggs and if it weren't for Grandma and Poppa B, the kids would have gone to church in pjs. Maybe by the time David is 10 I will have my act together and finally tell him about the Easter bunny.

For some reason, we remembered to actually take some pictures!

  David had a lot of fun hunting for the eggs....only when he realized that when he threw them down on the ground, a piece of candy would magically pop out. Now he just starts throwing things on the ground, hoping pieces of candy will come out of them.
