SmoochFace
Yes, I know he's wearing a girly bib. That's what happens. You get around your neck whatever bib I grab.
But whenever he eats, whether feeding himself, or being spoon fed....
He makes this face! Anyone have any kids that make a face like this every time they eat?
Every....stinkin'...TIME!
These are all different bites of food. Just the same face.
It's pretty cute, and we get a kick out of it at the dinner table.
But I'm starting to think it's not going to be so cute forever.
I hope, bless his little heart, this is not the face he makes at the table forever. :-)
But for now, it's quite entertaining and adorable.
And I think he knows is makes him pretty cute too.

Dirt and Bows
I think everyone in our neighborhood was out doing yard work this weekend. We joined in by planting our little garden - oregano, thyme, tomatoes, bell peppers, spinach, and jalapenos. Let's hope my black thumb turns green this year!! Here's to not killing any plants!!! :-)
I also fell for this contraption. The Topsy Turvey. This is the strawberry one. But we also put tomatoes in the bag too. I don't know if that's "horticulturally acceptable" (to put two plants together) but whatever. We plan on adding some more to it once the seeds sprout.
We also pine-strawed our flower beds! Which is, by the way, the easiest, cheapest way to make your yard look nicer.
I didn't participate outside quite as much as Robert would have liked. BUT, I did seed the yard in my tank top, workout shorts, and cowboy boots. I told him he needed a pic for proof, but he spared me. And you. ;-)
I did other work things inside the house. Like replace sink parts. That's very handy-woman-like, if I do say so myself. And I'm proud to say that Robert didn't help one.single.bit.
See, when he got our bargain sink, I was spoiled with this sink soap dispenser. I wash bottles, sippy cups, etc a million times a day. And this little contraption was such a handy little pump. I realized I really valued this appliance of sorts and Robert so graciously bought me a new one when the old one broke.
So in order to prove my handiness-self, I decided to install it all by my little self. Olivia helped. It was fun. And now, I have my convenient soap dispenser back working full time.
Then I did other mother-like tasks. Like make more bows. It's how I mark and find my children.....even in the pool. And yes, they will be swimming in these soon.
I'm so glad Olivia still wears bows! And making some new ones made her want to wear them even more!!!
AND, I finally got some pictures of her!! YAY!
Love her with long hair!
And she totally busted after this picture. I mean, she was okay and everything, but she was trying to smile for the camera in mid air. Semi succeeded. Then we both laughed.
HAPPY MONDAY Y'ALL!!!
It's going to be a GREAT week!

Flashback Friday
And since Olivia seems to be less frequently photoed on the blog these days, why not show her off when she was little!
19/20 months old - Fall of 2004
She sure was a cutie pie!! And still is!!

Spotted
Sleeping soundly....in his pack n play.
With big sister peeking over quietly.
Startled by the camera. Confused. Disoriented.
Happy! Delighted to see us!
I think I'm going to "crate train", I mean "pack n play train" Rhodes. :-) I've never really needed to do that type of training before, but something tells me once he's mobile, I'm gonna need somewhere to put him that's safe and that he likes.
And actually, so far, he seems to enjoy his "alone" time. Go figure. Life is so "stimulating" for him, it's almost like he enjoys the simplicity of him and a few toys sitting alone in the crib. Most of the time he dozes off. Which is GREAT! He does NOT like me to rock him or hold him until he goes to sleep - he's a "do it on his own" kind of boy!
On another note, I'm feeling kind of guilty lately. About the content of my blog. It seems that most of my posts are about Lillian and Rhodes. And sadly it's because they're my two most photogenic subjects right now. Olivia can't stand when I get the camera out. And Landon, well, he won't sit still long enough for me to take pics. But I guess they had a lot of time on the blog before. Rhodes is just playing catch up!
