Father's Day

Here's a pic of my two men chillin' together on Father's Day while talking to Popsie and Nan. Enjoy!

Video of Timmy matching shapes with his block set

Timmy has recently learned how to match up his shapes with his block set. I forgot to add that in our update but wanted to take a short video of it for all of you to see. Enjoy!

Video of Timmy on one of his toys

For the first time today Timmy rode his toy tractor with no help. He got up on it and everything all by himself, Woohoo!!!! I grabbed the camera quick to get it on video for all of you. I can't wait for his Dada to see him do this when he gets home from work. I did move the camera off of him for just a moment because it looked like he was going to stand up on the seat of the tractor and I didn't want him falling...lol. He is such an adventuresome kid. Enjoy!

And so the story goes....

So, I know it has been a while since I've actually blogged. This blog probably won't have any pics like most of my other blogs do. I just wanted to give you a quick update on things with us.

Timmy is 13 months old now. He is a very active little man. He loves to explore everything. He finally figured out how to get into his toy box a couple of weeks ago all by himself. He can reach down into it and get his toys out also. He has learned how to take the trash can lid off our kitchen trash can. He only had to see his Dada do it once and he had it. That is how Timmy is with most everything. He only has to see or do it once and he has it. Back in May I had him in his stroller and didn't buckle him in and he figured out how to get out of it all on his own. I turned around to talk to his Dad and turned back around and he was out of it walking around. So, Scot and I promptly put him back in it to see exactly how he got out of it and we laughed when he repeated it. He has also, just recently, learned how to get out of his buckle in the stroller so strapping him down does no good. Just a couple of nights ago he learned how to climb up on the sofa. If there is anything that is important to us we better have it up and out of his reach or he will have it. He is something else to say the least. But, I'm loving every minute of it. He most certainly keeps me busy.

Our business, A Clean Solution, is doing well. Scot has been very busy running the business while I stay at home with Timmy. For those of you who don't know what we do just click on our company name above and it will take you to the company website. Scot has been certified in carpet repair over the past year and that has proven to be great. I didn't realize how much he'd use that certification until he got it.

As far as me, I stay at home with our son. My staying at home and raising our son is very important to Scot and I. We don't want daycares or our school system to raise our son. I'm sure many of you can understand why. Other than take care of the house and Timmy I help with the administrative portion of our business. Since I enjoy that better than Scot he loves that I help with that.

With Father's Day coming up my thoughts are on Scot and what a great husband and father he is. If you know the line of work we are in you know that Scot works very hard. He not only works hard at work but he is a great help to me when he gets home in the evening. God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined. Women don't take what your husbands do for granted. If you have a husband who works hard at his job and comes home and helps out at home also be sure to Thank God! There are a lot of women out there who wish they had men like that in their lives so be sure to let your husbands know how much you appreciate all they do. Scot and I have such a deep love for God and because of that we also have a deep love for one another. He is my best friend and the love of my life. Every day is such a joy because he is in my life. Be sure to make Father's Day special for your husband. Let him know just how much you love and appreciate him. Don't just do that on Father's Day but everyday!

If I don't blog again before Father's Day just let me say to all the Dad's out there Happy Father's Day!

Timmy's first walk in the yard

I forgot about this picture. It was taken on May 22nd. It was his first time really walking in the yard with no help. I was trying to get him to look at his Dada in this picture but he was too fascinated by the grass. He did really good walking in the yard.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

This pic was too cute. Timmy is in his forward facing carseat in this pic. We took this pic because of how Timmy had a tight grip on his sippy cup.

"I played hard today. I think I'll rest on the ride home."

I'm just chillin'

This was taken at Maw Maw's home. Timmy had hold of Tristan's arm rest that go on his carseat that he doesn't use.

"I'm just here to chill and have fun!"

Ready to race....Vroom Vroom

We just took these earlier today. Timmy was so proud of himself. Enjoy the pics!

"I better look both ways."

"I'm ready to go Dada. Get in and let's go to the race track."

Shopping at BJ's Warehouse

We went shopping at BJ's the other day to get some bulk items that we needed. When we got there one of the kiddie carts was free so Timmy got to take his first ride in the kiddie cart. He loved it!!! When we were done and tried to get him out of it to get back in the car he grabbed on tight to the steering wheel and wouldn't let go. We didn't get a photo of that though. I just wanted you to see him in the cart. Enjoy!

"Check out my new mode of transportation."

"I love beeping the horn. Riding in this is so much fun!"

Here's some more birthday pics

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get this done but here are some more birthday pics from Timmy's birthday on May 11th. I'll try and post some more later. Enjoy!

"Oh boy, all this just for me! How Cool!"

"Thanks for the shorts!"

"Yeah, My Maw Maw got me a UNC short outfit. I love the ball that the Laughinghouse's got for me."

"How neat! A camera and more clothes. Thanks!"

"Now let's see if I can get the ball in my mouth?!"

"Oh, OK, you push the buttons and they make different sounds and they light up too. That is so cool!"

"Oh Wow! I want to play with this one now. Someone get it out of the box for me please!"

"My Uncle Ernie got me a birthday card that sings. That is so cool. I'll enjoy playing with that."
(And he did enjoy playing with it up until he finally tore it up...lol)

"Cool, a work bench with blocks and a hammer. I'll have lots of fun playing with this. Thanks!"
