Happy Birthday Caitlin!

What a fun day for the newest TWO year old on the block! Caitlin loves CAKE, actually frosting and just couldn't stop talking about "eat cake and open da presents" she'd say. She did just that with close family and perfect weather this past Saturday! Caitlin was a gracious host as her Nana put it - saying "thank you" to everyone complete with a hug and a kiss. We couldn't be more proud! Pics of the party to come!

Awhile back, I had a graphic artist (http://www.olliographic.etsy.com/) design the image for her invite - it turned out perfect (THANKS MEG) with Caitlin's classic pig tails and "2" cake. Meg has been great to work with over the past year and will do great with her new etsy shop! She knows I'm addicted and will be back for more little treats.

Happy Birthday Connor!

Connor is 1! What a fun year - it goes by so fast! He is becoming a bit more talkative when he can get a word in - he says "mommy", "daddy", "bye-bye", "ba-ba", "hi" and "yessssss!" He loves all his new birthday toys and had so much fun with family and friends at his party!

Abc's with Grace

Here is Caitlin and Connor's cousin Grace doing a great job with her Abc's. Caitlin is very obsessed with her Abc's lately - so much so one song can just keep going and going! Most common is "Abcd - lmnop"

Also doing a great job is Grace's sister Lauren who is starting to walk - notice her in the background!

Holy Boys Batman!

We have been blessed with both family & friends having BOYSin the past month! First came Landon James very early but very handsome and healthy. Next came another cousin, Eric Henry - Jeff and Jenn's first little bundle of joy! Not missing a beat, came another Stanko boy - Andrew "Drew" Philip. The next little man to arrive, a day after St. Patrick's Day, Sean Patrick Harris - Meghan and Sean's first. And to round out the month, Ezra Ashton Brown joined his proud parents this afternoon. Congrats to all!

More Mommy & Me Pics!

Keeping up with my mommy & me challenge for 2009 - Here are a few more pics!

We love our watertable (Great gift, Dana!) it is the perfect size - we use it all year round! A great activity for these long winter days is to fill it with fun stuff and let the kids explore. We decided to bring the snow in since we have had the sniffles and just can't seem to keep the mittens on when we are outside! The Mr/Mrs. Potato Head pieces came in handy!

The Walk Watch continues...Connor is standing up confidently by himself and is taking a few steps. He usually starts clapping for himself which causes him to lose his balance and down he goes!

PJ Days

Lots of PJ days around here lately...sniffles and coughs...a few more mommy & me pics!

Funny Feet & Fetch

Connor loves to curl his toes...really curl his toes which makes it close to impossible putting shoes on him. However, this past weekend we were off to cousin Lauren's 1st birthday and he needed some shoes. Found a great pair of kicks at Target to get him through til he gets his BIG BOY shoes - I think he will be walking by his birthday but we will see...He is really into fetch right now but is taking steps by himself (especially if I dangle his pacifier out in front of him) funny little guy!
