Pine Box

The kids are still playing with the box, but lately it's an ambulance.

We've been joking that it looks like a pine box getting ready to go six feet under when the baby's in it wrapped in a blanket... maybe the little guy is working out some aggression?

They love that box!

Future Doctor?

The little guy has tried a few careers, and now the baby is shaping up to be a veterinarian. (She said her first sentence yesterday: "Get down, Beau!")

She loves helping Beau take his medicine. The job involves holding a spoonful of peanut butter with pills stuck in it.

She's so good at this! Look at those two!

New Favorite

I think I have a new favorite picture of the kids and me.

So cuddly!

Running Around

The little dude has been decorating the box every chance he gets. His favorite place to do it is right at the bottom of the stairs. I guess the threat of injury adds excitement to our lives?

Meanwhile, the baby rearranged the pantry while I was cooking dinner.

She's so busy.

Books, Books, Books

The little dude is enjoying books on his own now. He'll just grab a book or magazine, curl up somewhere, and leaf through it. It makes him seem so big and grown up!

The chocolate on his face keeps him young, though, right?

Box

We're using disposable diapers at the kid's new daycare so I finally joined Amazon Mom. (Just an aside-- I love our inexpensive Bummis that we've used for both kids, but I hate the super-expensive bumgenius diapers with a passion. They're the WORST!! Ugh.)

Our first gigantic box of dipes and wipes came in the mail yesterday, and today the box became a race car. It has a windshield, numbers, stripes, and a comically undersized steering wheel. Even better than that, it has room for two!

It also has a train track inside it. I bet none of the NASCAR drivers can say that about their rides.

More of the same...

We went to a (wait for it) softball game tonight. Who, us? What?!!

Anyway, the little dude got to fetch a foul ball. It made his night.

He and the baby had a blast running around the bleachers and hanging with the guys on the team (who are all seriously amazing and lovely).
