Back to reality

Life has been very busy since we've been back, but we are surviving. This weekend is going to be just as busy, just with a little more fun. I survived another plane ride and the trip couldn't have gone more smoothly. I had never flown Southwest until now, and they were by far my best experience in a plane.

Since I am catching up on pictures, I have some before and during our trip. Our little baby is growing up and he will be 2 before I know it. At 22 months he is extremely talkative and can say most words. He sings to the Veggie Tales cd and is very good at telling me "no" when he is not ready for bed.

He gets excited about little things, such as the moon, and will always find where "the moon in the sky" is. He loves seeing his friends at church and talks about them regularly at home. He is still intrigued with music, and especially the "tar" (or guitar).

He likes to wear hats and sunglasses, but only when it is his idea to put it on. He likes to collect rocks and sticks, and frequently picks flowers for me.

He still only has 11 teeth and for some reason only has 3 of his bottom, front ones.

He is not too old to stop playing peek-a-boo.

He is an extremely good traveler.

He likes to climb on everything, especially our couch.

He never gets tired of going down the slide, especially when daddy goes too!

He loves to relax just like daddy.

He knows all of his animals and animal sounds. Here he is doing "pinch pinch" because we were looking at a crab farm...and everyone knows that crabs say "pinch pinch"!

His great-grandmother made him another "bank" (or shall I say blanket?) It only took her a few days to create such a wonderful masterpiece! She made him one just like it as a newborn and he has already worn it out. He loves his new "bank" and had such a fun time with his "nannie and papaw" in Florida.
