what a mess

I think a few beans made it his mouth.  No one knows for sure.

Its beginning to feel a bit like summer

Last week was one of those weeks that just flew right by.  I know that it was busy because I have piles and piles and piles (yes, that many) of laundry stacked up.  I also barely took any pictures, so I am not so sure how it was so busy.  We went to Deutschen Pfest with friends.

We had a few play dates with some adorable baby girls. Mini footballs are delish.

We went swimming and ate watermelon with some cousins.  Theo absolutely loved watermelon.  Who doesn't?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This week has started out busy too, we ran errands all. day. long. And we ate lunch with Charlie.

And we ended the day climbing inside the cabinets.

And pulling everything out of them.

I mean everything.  But he looks so proud, doesn't he?

 What do you do when the cabinet is empty?  Crawl away from the crime scene.

This stage (of taking everything out of where it belongs) is so much fun.  Ummm yea, fun. I'm just hoping there is a stage where all Theo wants to do is put everything back where it belongs.  A girl can dream, right?

Port A for Mother's Day

We were oh so lucky to spend the weekend on the coast.  We had (some) great sunshine, great seafood, and great laughs.  Theo thought the seaweed was the best thing ever, and it was his personal duty to clean up the entire beach.  His new favorite pastime is watching the waves, and his new favorite food is  sand, yum! 

The first time Theo "saw" the beach.  Those waves made some great white noise :)

It rained Sunday morning, so both boys decided to take naps.  Theo is an exceptionally light sleeper, so I wouldn't even dare to try to take a picture of him catching some zzzs.  Whoever came up with the phrase "slept like a baby" was not talking about my baby.

It kept raining, so we decided to get out of the condo.  Then, of course, after driving 30 miles, the sun decided to make an appearance.

Mmmmm, mmm, mmmm, love that sand.

Car Rides and Cows

So, Monday night Charlie asked, "Do you want to go get some ice cream?" Ummm, yes. Yes I did.  Theo didn't get any ice cream, but he had a jolly time anyway.

Charlie is telling Theo, "The cow says MOOOO."  

Wednesday afternoon Theo and I went on a "car ride" around the block.  He loved it, probably because cars are just way cooler than strollers.

 

                          

We also may or may not have gone to Chuy's twice this week. (Once was just for happy hour :))  We are leaving for the beach tomorrow, pray for clear skies full of sunshine!

I can't believe it!

This little big guy turned 9 months yesterday!!

And he is as happy as can be (most of the time, we all have our moments. Am I right?)

It's really fun to crawl out of chairs...

I promise, just let me try.

Hey Mom, didn't you say you needed to vacuum? I found it. 

Theo is standing one handed these days.  Side note: that belly! 

He tries to reach everything and thinks his arms are 10 feet long. Not quite, big guy.

Cheeese! Charlie Jr. All. The. Way.

We are extra excited for the weekend this week because we are headed to the beach.  Just 3 more days!

The weekend...

... continued.  A few more pics.

Did I mention we loved the fountains?

 Happy Monday Y'all!
