Still Smiling

The kids have had lingering colds and Ayson had a fever on Tuesday that wiped him out...he actually was sitting still on the couch (not a normal thing for him!).  By Wednesday he was feeling better but now both kids have a "congested" sounding cough and Mommy broke out the humidifiers.  Luckily, both kids are easy going and good natured so the colds have not put too much of a damper on play time.

 

Monday: 

Addie has started to give "gummy" kisses.  Mommy loves to kiss Addie on her neck and jaw because it makes her giggle and now Addie tries to give Mommy kisses too. 

Ayson playing with his Buzz Light Year car...he was pretty subdued Monday night, even after Daddy gave him some ibuprofen.

But he was still able to smile for the camera...what a great smile!

Tuesday:
Mommy puts a couple of blankets on the floor for Addie...so that when Addie tips over, she does not hit her head too hard.  Mason also loves the extra softness too!

Ayson slept in on Tuesday until 9 am...that is totally unheard of!  And he took an extra long nap.  Tuesday was just low key and spent playing around the house.

Addie's smiles have evolved to where she now crinkles her nose up when she smiles...such a Baby Doll!

Mason investigating Addie's lunch.

Hmmmm...do I smell cereal and fruit?!

Addie loves to play with Mommy's hair and on Tuesday night she got to play with Daddy's too.

 

Addie:  "Hmm, Daddy, your hair is just too short!  I suggest that you grow it longer, like Mommy's :)

Wednesday:
Both Ayson and Daddy got a kick out of Addie's toy piano on Wednesday.  The both totally ignored Ayson's piano that has all the "bells and whistles" (literally!)

Addie: "Hi Mumma! I LOVE to bounce!!!"

Mommy loves this picture :)

On Saturday morning, Ayson was up early and Addie slept in!  Daddy gave Ayson a chocolate donut and as you can see, Ayson had fun (yuck!  Mommy thinks that these particular donuts are gross and have no real flavor/taste but Daddy loves them and now so does Ayson).

Goofing around Saturday morning.  Addie does not look too certain of all of Ayson's shenanigans.

Since we knew rain was expected for the upcoming week, we went outside after dinner to get in a bit of fresh air. 

Just about all of the leaves are off the trees but there are a few patches of pretty trees with yellow leaves still on the mountain.
