Another TaDa

This TaDa is especially for Timmy's Aunt Elaine because she is the one who taught Timmy to say it. Timmy is on his new Toy Box that his Uncle Jeff made for him saying TaDA with his hands in the air. How cute:-)!

The Moon

Last time we were up to see Nan and Popsie in Kentucky Popise showed Timmy the moon. Ever since then every night he wants to look for the moon. Well with the weather we have had recently there have been lots of cloudy nights and no moon. The past few nights though Timmy has been able to see the moon and has been so excited about it. Here are some pics from him looking at the moon the other night out our front door. The moon was almost right over the house so the pics of him looking at it are so cute.

"The Moon, The Moon!"

"Look Mama and Dada."

"Wow!"

TaDa

Last night Timmy took this section out of his mat, put it around his neck, and came into the living room saying, "TaDa" to Scot and I. We couldn't help but laugh. Timmy saying, "TaDa" is something his Aunt Elaine taught him when she was here visiting and now when he does things he likes to go around saying that...lol.

Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus - Zing Zang Zoom

Timmy and his cousin Tristan had so much fun at the Circus. Timmy loves Elephants so that was absolutely his favorite part of the show. It was definitely a big hit with the boys and it will probably be a yearly family thing that we will do. I had so much fun watching my men see the circus live for the first time. I was so shocked when Scot told me that he had never been to the Circus before. At least now he has had that experience and he got to share that first together with his son. The only disappointment was that they canceled being able to see the animals up close before the show began because of the weather. Next year we will definitely be doing our best to get to see the animals up close because Timmy would have really loved that. It was a great experience and I'm glad that we went. Enjoy the pics.

"I'm not sure about this guy???"

"Wow, I sure love the animals."



"Oh boy, it's Elephants."

"Look, Elephants!!!"

"I'm having lots of fun with my Cousin Timmy."

It's Tigers, and Lions, and Bears.....No, it's just Tigers.

"It's my DaDa and my first time at the Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus."

These guys were so cool. Timmy didn't take his eyes off them for a moment.

Toddler Bed

Timmy took a nap in his toddler bed yesterday. We are so proud of him for doing that. It's one step closer to getting him to sleep in his toddler bed. We are taking it slow though and letting him do it at his own pace. There is no rush for him to be in the toddler bed anyways. It won't be long before he is wanting to sleep in it anyhow. At some point I'll get a picture of his toddler bed so that you can see it. For now he has two rooms, his baby room with the crib and the room with his toddler bed. He's such a blessed little boy.

Climbing onto the toy box

Uncle Jeff Timmy learned to do this today. It took him a little longer than we thought but he did it. We are still waiting for him to actually climb into the toy box. We will take pics of that when it happens as well.

Fun on top of the toy box

Timmy had lots of fun once he got on top of the toy box. He did do one thing that made us realize that we are going to have to move the toy box and put it against the wall with no windows. When you look at the pics below you will know what I'm talking about.

"Wow! I can see a lot more from up here."

"Let's give this a try."

"Oh boy, I'm really doing something now."

"This is like a stage. Let me 'Vogue' for you."

"Can you see my belly button?"

"This is so much fun."

"Hey Mommy! I hope you got some good pictures?!"

Getting Off The Toy Box

Getting off the toy box was just as easy as getting on.

Daddy's Solution

Scot went to work right away on a solution to the problem of Timmy getting past the gate and climbing the stairs. Here are the pictures of Timmy checking it all out.

"So now let's figure out how I'm going to get around this?!"

"Well this isn't gonna work. Let me think on this for a while."

Let me show you what else I can do

Recently Scot and I were in this room talking for a moment and the next thing we know we are hearing, "bump,bump,bump,bump." We turned to see that our son had gotten around that baby gate and up the stairs. He took the express route down. Thank God that in his fall he didn't get hurt. No bumps, bruises, or nothing. We were at a loss to how he did this until he tried to do a repeat performance. We got it on camera for you all to see.

"Move!"

"Yes I'm looking back to see if Mommy and Daddy are watching."

"I know I'm a smart boy....hahaha."

"Yeah, check me out. I'm on the other side."

"OK, now to climb the stairs. Mommy and Daddy say, 'Not!'"
