Puppet Show

My mom was down this weekend and got the kids a sock puppet kit...it was a huge hit! They bugged us for probably about an hour or so from the moment I got out of bed in the morning (I had said we'd make them in the morning the night before) until I finally was ready...I was ready to throw the thing out by the time we did it LOL. They LOVED it though. :)



When they were done they made a stage and put on a puppet show for us. Here's the first part of it.

Rear-face as long as possible!

My PSA for the week: please keep your child rear-facing as long as their seat will allow (or really at least age 2). 1 year old is an absolute minimum. Kids' heads are so heavy, and their spinal cords so delicate, they really run the risk of major, major injury or death when they are in accident forward-facing. This video says it best...please watch and pass on. And keep your kids backwards...I love you all and your kids too much to let anything happen!

Deep Thoughts by Lillian Nora

Lilli: "Mom, do bees make honey?"
Me: "Yep!"
Lilli: "Well who makes jelly?"

Me: "Our neighbors bought a new house, so they might be busy tomorrow."
Lilli: "They did???"
Me: "Yeah! They got a nice house."
Lilli: "How did they fit it in their car?!?!"

I love being a mom.


PS Happy Coast Guard Day!!!

A day at the aquarium

Since Mickade gets to have so much fun at camp, Lilli, Lucy, and I decided to have a fun day of our own and go the aquarium. It's tiny but Lilli loved it. They have a nice touch tank where you can pick up sea creatures like sea stars, urchins, sea cucumbers, and horseshoe crabs.

Fencing and crawling

Woohoo!!! We finally got our fence up! Actually, I shouldn't say "we", it was really Stephen and my Supafly Uncle David who did it. It's so nice to just let Bunny out now, and I don't have to worry my head off if Lilli plays outside. Once we get some grass growing I'll take some pictures!



Lucy got to use the bath seat for the first time...and LOVED it!!! She was so happy to be sitting on her own in the tub with Lillian. They were so cute together!!!


Now here's the killer....look what my little baby can do. Yeah, that's right. She's up on her knees. Not crawling yet but starting to do that little rocking thing they do. I'm in so much trouble! Mickade was army crawling by 4.5 months, but didn't hands and knees crawl til much later, like 10 mos. Lilli crawled at 8 mos. Lucy is going to be crawling at 5 mos, aaah!!! I need to get babyproofing don't I?
