15 Months!

September 28, 2009 · By Kristin Smith · Leave a Comment

Mr. B had his 15 month check-up with Dr. Bonnie today! It was a good thing too because he started getting a bit sniffly this weekend and I wanted her to check it out, she said it looks like a cold and he should be fine in a few days.

He’s still off the charts for height and weight – 33 pounds and 34 inches! He’s in 2T clothes.. I guess he’s really not a baby anymore! Developmentally, he’s great. He’s still hitting all of his milestones on time or early.

She said since he’s such a big guy, we really need to stay on top of disciplining him so that he knows Mommy and Daddy are in charge – she seems to think he’s going to be quite a bit bigger than me, so I need to make sure he know’s I’m an authority figure now. I’m going to have to work on that.. it’s hard for me to reprimand him when he’s so freaking cute.

Happy Birthday Jack!

Today we helped B’s little buddy Jack celebrate his 1st birthday! I always have such a great time watching all of our boys play together – it’s going to be so wonderful for them to grow up with such a great group of friends. Kind of makes me jealous

Happy Birthday Jack!

B & A really wanted to go outside and play in the pool

I had some errands to run after the party, so Adam and B were on their own for dinner.. anyone who knows Adam knows that there are pretty much 2 places he goes when he has to fend for himself – Chick-fil-a or Krystal. Tonight, Krystal’s won – Adam figured they were mini burgers so B would love them..

Doing Nothing

September 26, 2009 · By Kristin Smith · Leave a Comment

We spent the weekend doing a whole lot of nothing and it was absolutely wonderful. We played outside for a bit, B is finally big enough to actually enjoy the mini-motorcycle that The Schwan’s (our cousins from South Africa) got him, he had a blast on it.

Later, we went to dinner at La Nop, where our sweet boy tried to steal Daddy’s beer. Lets just say that I hope he follows in my footsteps when it comes to drinking, because if he follows in Daddy’s, Mr. B’s teen years are going to be interesting, to say the least.

Children Around the World Parade

September 25, 2009 · By Kristin Smith · 1 Comment

September is “Children Around the World” month at B’s school. Today they had a parade in honor of it. I have to say, I’m incredibly impressed that B’s teachers managed to wrangle 16 toddlers without a single one of them wandering off!

B’s class (young toddlers) represented the Philippines, they painted t-shirts with the flag on them.

The infant class represented the USA and was ADORABLE, I giggled a bit when B’s old teachers wheeled the babies out in their cribs. For those of you who remember B’s favorite teacher, Mrs. P, that’s here pushing the 2nd crib.
