Family Fun

Ayson continues to amaze us with what he understands and what comes out of his mouth.  Ayson understands when something is "pretend" and we all have a lot of fun playing along with him.  Addie nods her head yes and no and officially says the word "Dada".  When Ayson gets to close (when he is acting crazy hyper) Addie is quick with the "back off" slaps.

Monday was warm so we found ourselves outside...Addie next to her box and Ayson not far from the bugs. Ayson likes to rid our (new) siding of the box elder bugs.







Mommy was in Buffalo for meetings Tuesday through Thrusday and Daddy held down the fort with the babies.  Daddy must have been making plane noises with Addie's spoon because he is all over the place and Addie was paying close attention.






This is how smear marks get on the camera lens :)


A great smile from our rag-a-muffin - we don't want to cut Ayson's hair and he does not want us to cut it either...he loves to twirl his hair when he is tired.


Wednesday night fun before din din.


Daddy took a picture of Wednesday's dinner.  Yes, Addie's dinner portion is MUCH bigger than Ayson's and she had no problem finishing it...Mommy is waiting for the day our little "hoover" turns into a finicky 2 year old and appears to subsist on crackers and air.



Addie LOVES it when Daddy gets down on the floor and she can climb all over him.


A BIG smile from our big guy.


Friday was gorgeous with temps in the 70s but within 10 minutes, a front moved through and the temp dropped to the low 50s.

Helping Daddy move dirt.



Mommy and Addie have a routine where Mommy helps Addie balance on the big picture window windowsill and Addie slobbers all over the window and bangs on the window.

The three kids hard at play.


Daddy's Little Girl: Addie cruised over to Daddy after she finished her dinner and sat with Daddy while he ate his.

Sunday morning cuddles.


On Sunday, Daddy smoked and grilled a bunch of meat, made mac and cheese, baked beans, and cole slaw...yum!  We invited friends over and Ayson got to play with Sam (2 years old) and Addie hung out with baby Ben (9 months old).  Ben is already wearing some 18 month old clothes and Addie is just starting to wear some 18 month old pieces...watch out world, Ben is going to be a BIG boy!
