Little Toddy!

My little Toddy is almost 5 months...
"Can you believe it"!

This past week we have seen quite a change in our little man...

He can now fully roll over...Both ways..
He conquered the back to front roll this past week...

"Can you believe that I missed it"...
Nate caught the first one on the Tuesday...

Figures I miss the first time!

I saw him do it on Wednesday with Karen...

Now he is doing it all the time...

He is kinda starting to crawl too...
He reaches with his arms while  moving his legs...
While he grunts and moves across the floor...

He will for real be crawling before we know it!

He is a strong little guy, very stable on his legs,

can sit up with assistance quite well!

He is starting to show some routine to his sleeping,

Like bedtime is 10:30pm...This is when he calls it a night!

He loves to smile and laugh!

He loves to be tickled and poked at!

He loves it when I scare him or "throw him"

up VERY carefully in the air!

He loves when I give him a sly little smile,

He gets all bashful and dang cute...It kills me!

His eyes light up just like his brother when he smiles,

He drools quite a bit right now and spits up milk pretty often;

He is a fierce little eater...

And just loves to lay against my chest!

What a boy (haha)!

He has a pretty good set of lungs and

lets us know when he wants something,

He is soooo happy in the morning,

And sometimes a little fussy in the evening.

He coos and makes the cutest little sounds;

He loves his brother and watches him all the time!

He likes to sit in the bumbo chair when I am in the kitchen or eating...

He loves the JoLLy JuMpEr just like his older brother did...

He loves being outside, he loves being naked!

He has gorgeous chubby rolls and sweet sweaty little feet!

I love how soft and comfortable his skin feels!

He adores his mommy and is happy every time I hold him.

He could be screaming with someone and the

minute I pick him up he will start to coo!

It gets me right there if ya know what I mean...

No better Feeling I tell ya!

Todd will sleep for short times in his bassinet...

But defiantly prefers mommy's bed!

Todd still likes to feed a couple times through the night

with an early 6amish feed!

He loves his green soothie soo soo!

He loves bath time...He likes to splash and have baths with his brother!

He likes it when I rub cream into his perfect little body!

Todd is such an amazing little fella!

Recently we have noticed he is starting to

go to other people without getting upset...

I think Daddy is enjoying this change the best!

Today for instance I had a class from 11-3pm...

Nate had the boys and the report when I returned was a good one...

They had a great day and Toddy was a HAPPY little guy!

This made me feel really good...

All that worrying for nothing I guess!

Todd we LOVE you more then words could ever say...

You are such a breath of fresh air...

Your sweet little spirit is so precious...

We are very blessed to have you in our family!

Love you ForEver!

This is what Todd was doing when I got home from my class today...
Over the last couple of days Todd has fallen asleep
on this blanket in this position a number of times!

Loving the drool!

Best cheeks ever!!

Old Friends

So nice to have old friends visit...

Shayna and I had a nice catch up chat with Lindsey...

Got to meet Lindsey's little guy Micah...

He is super cute! I love his cheeks...

Went for a walk and to the park!

Thanks for the visit Linds!

I miss all you Smith girls!

Suspenders

The following pictures were taken a few weeks back...

Motivated by Ethan's new suspenders...
So cute!

Ethan loves to give Todd kisses...He is such a good big brother!

This is a game we often play...
He knows he is not suppose to pick up the remote...
However he also knows it will lead to a chase so
guess what decision he makes?
It makes me laugh a bit because he usually ends up changing
the Chanel then runs to me all worried to fix it!

\

Todd is quite the drooler recently...
I love how he gets all wet under his chin...

I think Ethan wanted me to stop taking pictures here...
It's hard when they are sooooo stinkin cute!

Todds eyes are big and blue like his big brothers...
His blond hair is coming in too...
Another little heart breaker on my hands!

This is Ethan's happy face...He is defiantly having fun here!

I think I have a similar picture of Ethan over a year ago...
yup I do...here it is...

Wow how he has grown...
I can really see Toddy in Ethan here!

Ethan is watching Winston and Miles...
This window is perfect for him to look out of...
It overlooks the side of our house where our hot Tub is.

Showing me something here...Ethan loves being outdoors!
Ethan will often say "outside" or "shoes"...
Meaning let's put on our shoes to go outside!

The "Sue Sue"

So I am starting to limit the "sue sue" (as Ethan calls it)

This is going to be interesting!

Wish me luck!!



Ya he's a little addicted I think!

Backyard Play

Yesterday I filled up the baby pool with water and balls!

The weather is beautiful and hot so this was the perfect idea!

Ethan thought this was very exciting...He said wow!

The game was saying "1..2..3..jump" (as Ethan jumped in the pool)

I was near by sitting under the umbrella...
cuddling with Todd...with a huge smile on my face...
Feeling so blessed!

I love summer time!

Nate and I have started working on our back yard and gardens...

The goal this year is to make it child friendly...

I am also doing square foot gardening this year...
The weeds were a little much last year...
Hope this new method works better!

I will post pictures soon!

My Boys!

Ethan was looking through a hole in the deck here

Blowing bubbles in the water here

Heard an airplane here

I will have to take some pictures in the hot tub of the boys...
Nate and I have taken them in the last few nights and they both love it!

It is so nice having Shayna a few doors down...
We love her visits!

Droopy Bum

I just had to get a picture today of Ethan's droopy diaper...

Ethan is wearing size 5 diapers from Costco which are a tad big...

But the size 4 are a tad small, so hence we went with the 5's.

Anyhow I find that he gets major droopy bum when he is wet!

This is because they are sooo big on him!

Today I just had to laugh and steal a picture...

Droppy bum plus plumber crack is just too funny!

Getting a picture was not easy however...as I had to

chase him around the table snapping my camera...

It was fun and we were both laughing really hard!

I love this boy so much...He is a riot!

There is the droopy bum!

Ethan was not interested in me changing him!
Finally I pinned him down!
What a character!
