"I NEED it!"

A few months ago Olivia started telling us, "I NEED it!" Cute at 1st, but she began to "NEED" everything! Lately I've tried to explain to her the difference between 'wants' & 'needs' in a way she can understand. We got her on tape telling you what she really "needs!"

In case you are having a hard time w/ her toddler southern accent: "house, water, food, Jesus!"

Sitting Up!

He's still wobbly, but Colin is starting to sit up all on his own!

Happy Sunday!

What do we do?

Seth just asked Olivia what Daddy does at work & she replied, "email!" Then he asked what Mommy does & she said, "E (she) work at home!" Funny girl! She came up with this all on her own.

Round 2

He looks sick huh?! Back to the doc this morning & round 2 with Colin's ears. We'll just hope Olivia doesn't go for round 2 & her meds clear them up.....we can hope!

Update...he looked so happy & cute in these pics, but little buddy was in pain tonight & not a happy camper. Hoping he feels better tomorrow.

Great Wolf Lodge

We spent the night at Great Wolf Lodge & had a great time! Olivia loved playing in the water, going down the little slides, & swimming in the pool. Colin had fun splashing around too! Sorry there aren't that many pics, it is a little hard to take pics in the water w/ 2 little ones! We had lots of fun though!

All the rest of the pics are on picasa.

5 months old

Colin is 5 months old today!

Peas Please!

Peas please! His 1st real food & he loved them.

Olivia was so excited to watch him eat & was cheering him on.

I love the food faces! This was his 1st bite.

Honey Boo Boo Child

We've been meaning to blog this since her birthday! This is Honey Boo Boo Child! The night before her party we (brothers & sis in laws) were all on the way to a visitation which was over an hour away. We watched a clip that had us all laughing on the way. This girl is a hoot! Sad when you think about it, but she is funny to watch! The next day Olivia got this doll at her party & we thought she looked like "Honey Boo Boo Child" from the video clip so that is what we named her! Olivia calls her Boo Boo Child! & every time she talks to Becca she has to go get the doll & show her on FaceTime.

On the Mend

Colin is feeling better today! He had his 1st sick visit to the doc this week. Little Buddy has double ear infections. Guess he wants to be just like his sister, but he is starting earlier than she did. Hoping he doesn't take after her w/ the ear infections....

Just glad he is feeling better & playing again.

Groundhog's Day

We had lots of fun at the Groundhog's Day celebration at White Deer Park. Mortimer the groundhog predicted an early spring in Garner. No surprise when it was almost 70 degrees today! Not sure what happened to winter this year, but think we skipped it this year.
