Haircut #3

Roo hasn't had a haircut since we returned from vacation, last year.  So a couple of weeks ago, Dada used Love Bug's highchair to give Roo a haircut.  It actually looks pretty good, but I really miss his floppy hair.  Oh well, it'll grow out again, and it's not like Roo enjoys getting a haircut, so there's no real need to keep it short.  The only reason we cut it was to help him not get as hot outside.  So stay tuned for some pics of floppy Roo hair this winter!

Mommy's Little Shopping Helper

Roo has been a really great little helper at the grocery store recently.  We seem to have moved past the little fits he used to have about one particular food or another as we go down each isle to the little guy who puts the food in the basket for mommy.  He's actually a lot of fun to shop with and I'm getting to teach him a lot of new words while we do it.  One weekend, he decided that we should use the stroller as our shopping cart.  As you can imagine, we didn't buy many groceries that weekend!

*Please bare with me on the sideways photos; once I figure out how to rotate them on the Mac I'll fix them.

Newfound Skill....

We've been dreading this new skill of Roo's for a while.  But finally, for the first time this weekend, Roo opened the fridge.  We're hoping we just didn't close it well......

Good Times...

This weekend was great.  The kids were so much fun; even being cooped up in the house on Sunday because of the rain wasn't that bad.  Enjoy the pics.

This one is great.  Love Bug loves playing with the little piano but has trouble reaching it when it's put away.  Roo got it down for him and then stayed to play with him for a bit.

  

Solid Food Progress....

It looks like we're making some progress with Love Bug starting to eat solid foods.  I haven't tried giving him anything in over a week and decided to try peas this weekend...just peas, no cereal, no peas mixed with cereal, just peas.  Well, he seemed to enjoy the peas.  He likes to put the spoon in his mouth on his own and actually eats the peas.  He didn't turn his head away and didn't clamp his mouth closed.  Needless to say, I'm really excited about this small step forward.  Oh, and we're also starting to use a sippy cup, he seems to enjoy that as well; he may never actually use a bottle at home, and that wouldn't be a bad transition.  We'll see how this all goes.

Wishful Thinking, Roo!

Bye Bye Mama Car.....More Truck!

Need I say more.......

And here are a few of Roo's favorite things.....his red car...

And his yellow tractor......he definitely wants more yellow tractor.....

A Good Moment

Today dada was making milkshakes for he and Roo.  They had just spent most of the day outside turning the yard into a park.  Roo was such a good helper while dada was doing work and when mommy took him to the store; probably one of his best days in a long time.  Anyhow, so dada was making milk shakes and mommy was trying to get Love Bug to eat a bite of solid food and when the blender started they both turned and stared at dada to see what he was doing.  It was the cutest thing, they look so much alike and a lot like dada.  I didn't take a picture because we were just enjoying watching them watch dada.  If it happens again I'll try to get a picture of it, for now, you just have to use your imagination.
