Just Another Monday

So Monday's are not anyone's favorite day of the week in our house. Believe it not, we haven't set an alarm clock since The Roo was born. Recently, Baxter has been our alarm clock during the week. The lucky dog gets to sleep in bed with us and in return his responsibility is to make sure we get up on time for work. Usually around 6am he moves from being in the middle of the bed inbetween mommy and daddy over to mommys side of the bed, or depending on his mood, on top of mommy (yes, mommy loves this....sarcasm). But recently, Baxter has been sleeping in on Monday's and we haven't had a very reliable alarm clock.

On top of our reliable alarm clock becoming unreliable, The Roo has decided that Monday's are his least favorite day of the week. This is good and bad. It makes mommy and daddy feel good because we know he loves all the time and attention he gets with us on weekends, but makes us feel bad that we don't get to be home with him all week long. Maybe if Baxter got a day job and really worked to earn his keep one of us could stay home with The Roo.

So this morning mommy got up and got ready and decided that we really didn't want a repeat of last Monday. Last Monday daddy carried The Roo out of the house over his shoulder kicking and crying. He was over his shoulder to avoid the painful crab pinches that The Roo uses as his weapon of choice. Very very painful. So today, mommy made sure that The Roo had a sippy and snack ready and waiting. Funny enough, The Roo decided to sleep in, so when mommy went in to wake him, he was in a lovey mood. We took him downstairs and as we were getting him dressed, he said, night night, night night. Poor Roo, just wanted to go back to bed. Who can blame him, wouldn't you rather sleep than have a Monday!

Weekend Fun

The last few weekends we have just hung around the house and played. It's been a lot of fun and really relaxing. Anytime you don't have to get in the car with The Roo it's a good thing, so staying at home is always a victory.


It's fun to roam around the house in my doggie pjs and my doggie towel. Baxter makes out well in this deal too because The Roo is great at sharing his snack....one for Baxter one for Roo and that's how it works. Mommy and daddy put Baxter on the diet because he gets plenty of extra food from Roo.
Last night The Roo had fun outside with daddy. They sat on the stairs and every time the sprinkler passed by and got Roo wet he would just squeal with joy.....it was really funny!

We got Roo a cute little red wagon a week ago. Just like when we got him the cozy coupe, the wagon is one of his toys that he does crazy daredevil stunts on. He thinks it's especially funny when he stands up in it, mommy moves it back and forth, and he falls out backwards. Crazy! We did however catch him sitting nicely in it for a few minutes enjoying his sippy.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, we did :)

Pink or Blue?

Today we were excited to let The Roo know that he's going to have a little brother! We've been telling him for a while now that he's going to be a big brother but he doesn't really understand what we're talking about yet. The week we found out we are having another The Roo rubbed mommy's belly....hmm...maybe he knew something sooner than we did! The Roo is great around babies and is going to be a wonderful big brother. Plus, that means he'll have a partner in crime to gang up on Baxter with!
