The Countdown!

The boys and I leave on Monday for Texas. I am really psyched, even if people think I am nuts going on a road trip by myself with 3 small kids. Just preparing myself for lots of bathroom stops and some hard but quick times of burning energy.

We had some beautiful weather today.
Just warm enough that I put JB outside on a blanket.

He enjoyed it but I think will be like his momma and can't tolerate much of the bright sun. JB is up on all fours and has the backwards scoot down pretty good. He is sitting up unassisted too, at least for a few seconds. No teeth yet.

J had a blast getting on the bikes. He finally has the coordination down to actually move the bike forward on his own. He also found some tools and enjoyed working on his bike. (I think his own tool box is just perfect for his 3rd b-day coming up.)

J has also started spending 15-20 minutes hovered over a puzzle, trying his best to match up the pieces. I am sure it won't be long before he is putting the whole thing together by himself. J also has a great game he likes to play outside. After watching so many wrecks in the Olympics, he will ride his scooter around and then fall off and lay on the ground. I am just waiting for a car to stop and check it out. B then yells, "He is down...". J jumps up laughing and takes off again.

B is signed up for t-ball, which should start early April with practices. Looking forward to getting outside with him in Texas and throwing the ball around. He is proving to be pretty competitive but not necessarily cut throat, so will be fun to see how it goes. Here he is on his big wheel, which hard to believe he is outgrowing. I can remember when he could not reach the pedals.


Another tie shot. B continues to wear the same tie for about 5 weeks now. J is a little more adventurous though.
