Well, once again, I have been slacking on the blog updates. I really don't have any good excuses, except that I have been both busy and lazy. The busy consists of painting the boys room, decorating the room with accessories, cleaning the house for Grandma Moorefield's visit, chasing the boys (that's the majority of my days), trying to entertain the boys with new activities, attending play dates and Gymboree, trying to keep up with the laundry (I'm good at the washing and drying, it's the putting away I dread), and being a good housewife by having a home cooked dinner every night....okay, so that's an exaggeration. No seriously, besides being busy, I do run out of things to talk about. So, thought I am posting today, and I do have several interesting things to tell, I cannot promise to always have an exciting post.
We are having a great visit with Grandma Moorefield. We picked her up on Monday afternoon. Besides the usual shopping here and there, we have been playing, walking in the mornings and doing our usual daily activities, like the library and Gymboree. Today we hit up some quilt stores (yes, I actually wanted to go) and we went out to dinner with the boys. Tomorrow G.M. is going to the quilt stores again without us while the boys and I wait for the refrigerator repair man to show up. Friday we are hoping to get the boys 1 year pictures taken and visit a mall I have yet ventured to. The weekend consists of relaxing and G.M. baby-sitting while Chad and I enjoy a baby free dinner for our 4 year anniversary.
While I was discussing what to write in my blog with G.M., Jack said his first word. This afternoon I was talking about my blog and asking what I should write about. Well, just a few hours later, Jack said......."NO." That's right, I'm 99% sure he said "no." Jack keeps trying to climb on the end table from the sofa. Every time he gets close, I say "no, no" and wave my finger back and forth. G.M. was sitting in the playroom and Jack climbed up to the end table, looked at her, and waved his finger then said "NO." When she told me the story I was so surprised! A few minutes later he did the same thing to me. It's so hard to be serious telling him "no" while waving my finger because he usually looks at me and waves his finger back at me. He's a little Chad junior.
The boys are growing so fast. Both of the boys are so curious of everything and love to discover new things. In the kitchen I have the majority of the cabinets baby proofed. Oven knobs, drawers, cabinets, door stoppers, baby gates the works, except the lazy susan. I figured the lazy susan was a complicated door that would probably not be an issue. Well, guess where Jack has discovered today? That's right, the lazy susan. Adam and Jack had a heyday digging through the oatmeal containers and muffin mixes. After the lazy susan discovery, Jack preceded to climb over the baby gate laying on the stairs and headed upstairs to the playroom. What am I going to do when they walk? I am barely keeping up.
