Giraffe Attack

We went to the Fossil Rim Drive Through Zoo again today.  The weather was perfect and our kids were too!  The giraffes were out in full force today.  Both kids were so excited to see them up close and personal!  A great day to spend time together as we approach a couple of weeks of chaos (the big "move" is Monday).

Cole could hardly wait as we drove closer to the giraffes.

 Not excited at all!

 After he fed them once, he said, "It tickles" and would not feed them anymore.

 The 1/2 way point has a gift shop, petting zoo, and cafe.

 Sweet face!

 Any guesses at what Cole bought at the gift shop???

Just too much excitement...so sleepy!

TEN Months And Counting!!!

Sweet Baby Girl is ten months old.  Almost a year old...that is sooooo crazy!  She now has two top teeth in addition to her to bottom teeth.  She refuses to eat ANY baby food since getting a taste of the "real" stuff.  She pretty much eats whatever we cook for dinner or what we give Cole for breakfast and/or lunch.  She loves her sippy cup.  She drinks about 3-4 bottles a day...but we are going to start putting her morning bottle in a sippy cup to slowly transition her to NO bottles.  The fun part of Blake is watching her try to keep up with her brother.  This week she has started fighting back.  When Cole was "wrestling" with us, she started pushing him and yelling at him.  I don't think she is going to be a pushover to say the least.

Blake likes to:

Take a bath every single night, pull-up on everything, crawl really fast when she sees something she wants, search the floor for anything to put in her mouth, play with her stuffed animals, watch the dogs out of the window, clap her hands (sometimes), and dance (when she is on her knees and I sing, "Dance, Dance, Dance".

AND SHE STILL LOVES BIG BOWS...

That look scares me a bit :)

My helper :)

Happy Heart Day!

Sometimes kids cooperate...sometimes they do not.  However having these pictures twenty years from now will be such a great treasure.



L-O-V-E

I saw a similar idea on Pinterest and just had to try it with Blake.  She thought throwing the letters on the floor was a lot of fun...especially when Cole would laugh (he was my assistant for this photo shoot).  The pictures turned out cute, so it was worth the effort wrestling both kids while trying to take the pictures.  These photos will find a special place in our new house for sure!
