When mommy's away....

I had a hair appointment last night and went straight from work so Dan had to take care of the boys. I am so glad I wasn't here to clean up this mess!

Tyler - 13 months

Ok so he turned 13 months about 2 weeks ago but who is counting?! I am so busy that I just forget to do things lately and I really need to get better at writing things down. Mommy brain is in full force!

So before I forget I wanted to jot down his new "words" since he really is adding to his vocabulary these days. I believe that if he goes to the same object saying the word, hands you the object saying the word, points to something saying it over and over, or even takes something from one of us saying the word, then he knows what it is and it's a word. Right?!

- has been saying dada and mama for a while but he doesn't say mama TO me (insert tear!) but he does squeal for dada. He hears the garage door opening and he runs for the back door yelling dada dada dada. But I think he calls Carson dada too. Dan thinks maybe he thinks all males are dadas to him!
- as I posted before he says thank you or dadu
- his favorite toys are balls so of course this had to be one of his first ones. He says bah for ball.
- he points to our noses and says nuh nuh nuh
- he says ni ni when it's time to go to bed
- he plays with a lion in his room and has been forever now and I always tell him it's a lion. Well now he points to it and says blabla

Hopefully I get better at updating.

Rough day.

If they only knew what it was really like to have a rough day.....

Baseball AND Football...in one weekend.

Carson had a busy weekend in the sports department. Dan took him to his first minor league Ironbirds game Friday night and I wasn't there to witness it but he had a blast. Whoever took this pic of them caught him mid bite in his popcorn!


Than on Saturday we all went to see the Ravens practice since they were at M&T Stadium. We had so much fun and Carson couldn't believe he was so close to all the players and got to see Joe Flacco in real life.






He insisted on wearing his jersey and it was so hot outside and we were in the sun!








Tyler and I ran around on the concession area. He wasn't very interested in the practice!

No fear.

Tyler is our little daredevil. I swear this kid has no fear at all and he's so intuitive so he figures out that something might hurt him or be dangerous and he stops himself.

This little episode happened this afternoon and instead of getting him down and redirecting, what do I? I grab my phone and start snapping away. Yeah, mother of the year award goes to me!
