"Hello"

For a the past few weeks Kallen has been showing us his phone skills.  Randomly one day Nate held the pretend phone up to his ear and said, "Hello", gave the phone to Kallen and he did it right back.  I finally got my act together and captured it.   I just adore it when little ones begin doing big people things.

Caleb was taking his nap otherwise I know he would have been saying, "Hello" too :)

Wordless Wednesday

 

 

Eagle's Nest

I have previously posted on how we've spent our time at in indoor playground near our house.  Well on Saturday we adventured out a little farther from home to check out Eagle's Nest in New Brighton, MN.  Eagle's Nest had to be almost double the size of the one we usually attend.  The kids loved it!  Elyse spent her time running around like crazy, Caleb successfully did the 3-12 year old one by himself and cried when we left, and Kallen, he was in busy boy heaven.  Besides the chaos from 4:00-5:00 PM, it was really fun and an enjoyable family outing.

 

"All Done"

If you ask a mom what are baby's major milestones, she would probably respond with, first tooth, their first time smiling, laughing, crawling, and walking.  I too consider those major milestones, but one not on all moms' list and my favorites is, their first time signing.  Starting last week Kallen finally began signing, "All Done".  This is the first step to him being able to sign lots of words, communicate with us and hopefully reduce the many tantrums a toddler has.  As you will see in the video, he not only signs it, he says it too; such a smart little boy.  Love him and I am so proud!

Jacuzzi Fun

Today the kiddos asked if they could go play in what they consider to be a hot tub (what actually is a Jacuzzi tub).  Since Kallen was still napping and I didn't have motivation to get out, I quickly said, "Sure, why not?!?"  Fill the tub full, turn the bubbles on, and instantly an hour flies by and I have happy kids.

Big Machines = Fun

A house is being built in the cul-de-sac just north of ours.  The advantage of big windows is that we get the opportunity to watch construction equipment and men be put to work everyday.  Caleb can not get enough of the machines.  Another reason he thinks his dad is the coolest.  So today, Nate took him over to watch the man work the excavator (even though it was not a CAT).  The man was so kind he asked Nate if he wanted to take Caleb inside for a real close look.  Needless to say, it made Caleb's day!  In fact, it probably made Caleb's week.

 

 

Fun Friday

So our Fridays are known as ,"Fun Fridays".  Meaning we spend our day doing what the kids would consider fun.  That may include, going somewhere of their choice, doing a fun creative activity, having a play date, watching a movie or in today's case, baking, decorating and eating cupcakes!  It was definitely a delicious morning.
