Mommy, Daddy & B

Kite Flying on Father's Day

Bailey and Travis flew the Spiderman kite today and got it up as far as the string would let them. Bailey really enjoyed it for a while then he said "Done."

Happy Father's day to my Dad, Travis's Dad and all of the fathers that we know.

Wet Boys

We watched Austin tonight and didn't anticipate both of the boys getting soaked from head to toe. Bailey got sand in his eyes so we sprayed his face down. Then Austin came from the sandbox and they both stomped in the puddles. The next thing we knew they were all wet and begging to be sprayed.

Here is a sequence of faces in anticipation of getting sprayed.

Here it is!

Here's a video of them asking to get wet. It sounds like Bailey says "on me" or "I want it on me."

Before I pushed the record button, Bailey yelled out "Oh no!" as he realized his diaper had fallen down. I struggled not to burst out laughing while filming this.

Baby Robin

Travis and Bailey found this baby robin that fell out of its nest. Hopefully the mommy robin was able to care for it or teach it how to fly back to the nest (and hopefully Stinky didn't get it).

Bye to Lindsey, Swimming with Tony

Thanks for the monster truck Aunt Lindsey. We'll see you soon!

In the pool with our neighbor Mr. Tony (aka Uncle Tony). They invited us over to swim, then we all came up with food for an improptu barbeque dinner. We have great neighbors!

Boxers and Aunt Lindsey

We all went to the store today and I just had to get Bailey some boxers so he can look like his Daddy. He loved them!

Being silly with Aunt Lindsey.

Attack of the ducks (and geese)!

The last time we fed the ducks they weren't that interested in us or the bread. I guess they had been fed all day and weren't hungry. Today was a different story. Even before we got out of the car, an army of ducks and geese were heading our way.

Critter Day

This was a day of critters. First Travis brought a baby toad up to the house to show Bailey, then he found a baby snakejrough earth snake (non-venomous). Later Bailey went outside and chased a butterfly all over the yard, then he did the same with a killdeer.

Why does Bailey touch a snake when he doesn't touch toads, geckos, worms and bugs? It looks like it's time to teach him good snakes from bad snakes.

Travis requested a critter label since we seem to have so many critter pics and videos. I'll go back and add the label to old posts when I get a chance. (Travis loves critter pics!)

Creepy?

OK. Finally here are the picture some may think are creepy. Bailey loves making faces in our water filter system. I like the pictures that emphasize his big eyes.

Fun Day

We had so much fun today and I took SO MANY pictures of videos that I just about shut down when it came time to choosing which ones out of the 50 or so pics and videos to post. Here's some to get it started!

I'll start with the end of the day, as I am very impressed at Bailey's artwork. I was cooking dinner and Bailey was drawing. I looked down to find this!

We went to the birthday party of a co-workers son. We were honored to be invited and Bailey had a wonderful time at Jumping Party! I had to join him on just about every single inflatable obstacle, as he was afraid to go alone. He did go through this train once by himself.

A small slide - closing his eyes!

He started out watching Gaston open presents... then he got tired and cranky and it went down hill from there. He slept 30 minutes on the way home, then he was ready to play some more!

When we got home, Bailey decided that Clifford really wanted to ride Stinky.

I have more pics to post (I'm sure Arlene will say they are creepy too) of Bailey making crazy faces in our water filter. I must go to bed now!!!!

In Cat Bed with Cat in the Hat

Yes, Bailey still uses a pacifier for his afternoon nap. Well, I got home from work and started cooking and Bailey found a pacifier. I told him that if he had a pacifier that meant that he had to go to bed (no walking around the house with a pacifier). I just assumed that he had gone to his room while I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready. I peeked around the corner to find Bailey in Stinky's bed reading "The Cat in the Hat."

Planting Groundcover

We planted vinca minor on half of the upper part of the yard today (about 850 SF with plants 2 feet apart). Man my hands are sore and we have 700 SF to go! We still have weeds to deal with on the other side, so it will be another two or three weeks before the other side will be ready for planting. I still need to buy 5 bushes and put down some stepping stones.... in due time.

Day at the Zoo

We headed to the Fort Worth Zoo on Memorial Day. Bailey's favorite part was watching an elephant give himself a bath.

This cute little grin he has is the result of Travis bouncing the stage coach.

Still bouncing.

Crococile wrestling!

I love this face he makes. I don't think he knows what he looks like.

I got a zoo pass, so we'll be going back at least 3 more times in the next year! :-)

Binoculars

Look what the boys found!

2 Year Photoshoot

Yes, these are long overdue. Here's Bailey at his 2 year, 5 month photoshoot. He wasn't very good while I was figuring out what to order, so I think I didn't order some I should have and ordered some I shouldn't have. He kept getting the stroller and saying "Go." Overall, he was pretty good. He got have a lot of fun at the play area at the mall when we were done.

I like this, but didn't like that the reflection wasn't a miiror image. You'd think they would think of this sort of thing.
