Plastic Bag Holders

My friend Kimberly shared this post and thought it was a brilliant idea. Now I have something to do with all those empty wet wipes containers, instead of just throwing them in the recycle bin.

LOVE This Picture

I LOVE this picture of Andrew. He has the prettiest eyes. I have no idea how both my boys ended up with LONG lashes. I'm sure if I had girls they wouldn't be as long as these are.

Beating the Heat in Texas

The past couple of years we've been getting season passes to our local water park and every weekend we'd spend the day there so Sean could swim and play. Since this year we have Andrew and he's too young to put in the water and it's too hot to even hang out in the shade we decided to get what my husband calls a "white trash" pool. It's been great having it, because Sean can swim whenever and because it's smaller than an in ground pool would be the sun heats it up so it feels like a warm bath... perfect for Andrew.

Andrew's First Solid Meal

It's hard to believe Andrew is old enough to start trying solid foods. I'm doing Super Baby Food again, just like with Sean. So what's Andrew's first food... avocados. We tried it a couple weeks ago and I don't think he's quite ready. He's still doing alot of tongue thrusting so I'll try again in a week.

Sleep Schedule

Day 6 of "sleep training" and Andrew figured it out after the first day. It's been SO much easier getting things done and planned around here. The best part has been that he's not terribly rigid about the schedule so a little deviation doesn't ruin the whole day, which is great if we want to do something.
