Eric is 1 year and 3 months and 2 weeks old!

This week Eric is doing a lot better eating those big boy foods again. After all 4 molars came in at the same time, he didn't want much to do with eating at all, but each day he is discovering something yummy and new!


Today is Bailey's birthday! He is 2 years old! He had a birthday hat and balloons and got new fun toys!


Hey, Bailey, I have a great idea, let's throw this good potting soil into the wind and see what happens!


Isn't it funny how the cutest pictures come from things we'd rather they not do? Needless, to say, when he came in, he got straight into the bathtub, lol!

Eric is 1 year and 3 months and 1 week old!

This week was Eric's 15 month dr visit. He is 24.4 pounds and 31.5 inches tall (that's a little over 2 and a half feet!) He also got 3 shots and some really cool Snoopy in Space band-aids!

Eric is copying more and more of the words we say, this week he said, "happy birthday," "grandpa," "bailey," and "love you."


Many thanks to Lisa for the Kangaroo Climber!


Eric loves his stuffed beagle almost as much as his real life beagle, lol!

Eric is 1 year and 3 months old! (15 months)

Eric has been really honing his fine motor skills over the last two weeks. His latest trick is being able to bend and straighten just his index finger while the other fingers (and thumb) stay still. He is very amused by this and can do it with both hands! (video below!!!)

He also had four molars start to break through, so he hasn't been his usual energetic self. (These are super hard to get a picture of, but I will keep trying.) He is also sticking his tongue in and out a lot lately, I'm not sure if this is part of teething or something else, but it sure is cute!


Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the new pool!


He is mastering how to get in and out of the pool.


Hey, this is a pretty cool pool!


Let's bring some toys to play with in the pool!

Eric is 1 year, 2 months, and 4 weeks old!

It finally happened, the boy went through the dog door! He just loves going outside so much, nothing will keep him from it, lol!

The water table I ordered online took forever to arrive, but it finally came. I ordered it so long ago!


It came with a water mill, boats, and a pouring cup.


We filled it with water and even added some ice cubes.


Then we added bubbles!!!


What great fun!

Eric and I bought Dada a motorcycle for his birthday! Happy Birthday, Dada!

Eric cannot be outside enough, he loves being outdoors, exploring rocks, grass, dirt, etc. We definately have a little outdoorsman on our hands!

Eric is now tall enough to reach the faucet in the bathtub, so even after I fill up the tub and turn the water off, he gets in and turns the water right back on!

Eric has another new dance move! This one encorporates his arms swaying up and down as he dances! He is so rhythmical!


Working with Dada on the new motorcycle is so much fun!


On August 1st, Eric's new bottom tooth pushed through! Hooray for tooth number 8!


Eric loves his Mook!
