Videos of the Two Little Ones

By -
So my fourth of July pictures didn't turn out well at all so that is why I didn't post any. And this post is going to be a quick one. First is a video of Marie talking about her pineapple flavored lollipop. You can hear what she calls "pineapple". Another one of my favorite word mix-ups Marie says is coconuts for polka dots. Sometimes they are even polka-nut or coco-dots.

And here is a video of the boy crawling. He reminds me of a dinosaur with how loud and direct he is but my mother-in-law suggested a Clydesdale horse might be more accurate. In the last week JJ has successfully crawled up the entire flight of stairs no less than 5 times. (In case you were wondering, yes I am behind him the whole way up.) He loves doing it though and is so proud of himself. Now I have to be very careful about making sure the gate is locked because he likes to sneak over there and shimmy up and he doesn't care if I am behind him or not.

Fabulous! That really is some serious crawling. Porcupine. The best.

good grief!! Can your children be any cuter?! I can't believe JJ is crawling...Abram is 9.5 months old and we think he will crawl in the next couple days or so. I'm ok that he takes his time though. I have enough chasing around with Asher. I love to hear Marie talk...what a cutie! Hope you guys are well!

I love the porcupine lollipop! That is too cute! One of my kids used to call granola, "gorilla" :)

A Few More of my Favorite (Mommy) Things

I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...

JJ is at it again

Last year my mother-in-law gave us a plastic snow globe, which, the kids LOVE. I think that's in part because they are actually allowed to play with it and real snow globes are off limits. With JJ it is a very good thing real snow globes are off limits. Just watch this:

One of my favorite (no, it is my FAVORITE) blogs is It's Almost Naptime and Missy is doing a Mom-to-Mom post where anyone (even the likes of me) can submit some of their mommy tips and how-tos to make life easier. So without further ado here are some of my favorite things, with and without photos: Contoured Laundry Basket - a MUST-HAVE for any mom with a baby - you can hold it and the baby while going up and down the stairs! And even when you aren't holding a baby, you are likely holding something else. The Time Timer - a visual "clock" for kids who can't yet tell time. We use it for quiet time and I can put up to 2 hours on the clock (the red can wrap around twice) and tell Marie she can come out of her room when "all the red is gone." It's on the expensive side but very cool. (Thanks for telling me about it Jane.) Frozen, Rotten Bananas - well kind of... our household won't eat bananas if they are the slightest bit mushy. Once they ar...
