Ahh sound asleep with his favorite little monkey... Now 7 1/2 mos old my DS is a great napper and very active...he has 3 teeth with the 4th one ready to pop! BUT What a bugger the 4th one is being...still 4 days later we're dealing with interrupted sleep at night and no sign of the tooth coming through yet.
And here's my Monkey during the day at home...yes that's gating you see....he's into everything and so we've started with gates around the house...it's amazing how quickly he went from starting to crawl to pulling himself up to stand and loving every minute of it.He's even crawling overtop of mommy like a monster truck trying to get to his sisters homework papers and crinkle them up. What an excuse that would be for not turning in her homework - BUT TEACHER MY LITTLE BROTHER DESTROYED MY HOMEWORK! We struggle as it is trying to get homework done around here...some days are better than others but the littlest distraction is an excuse to walk away from the task at hand.
Today the girls have early dismissal from school so they'll be home at 1:15pm. It'll be a gorgeous day so hopefully we'll all go to the park. The only issue might be that my middle child DD #2 had a major crash on her two-wheeler yesterday and has 6 Bandaids...yes I saw the crash happen...yes I held my breath thinking...please Lord not a trip to the Emergency room. Luckily she just had alot of scrapes and needed tenderloving care and alot of Bandaids (I should buy Stock!).
In my attempt to pair down on some cookbooks and tons of receipe clippings I will be testing out receipes and giving them thumbs up or thumbs down to be kept on file.
Here is receipe #1
