Spring Break

The fam came to visit last week. Here is what we did...

The Cousins

The cousins hung out Thursday playing video games, shuffle board and eating candy.

Then Friday we went to a local play zone...

Oh yeah, this is what Caden did.

Fun Times!

This morning...

...we didn't have to rush.
...I didn't have to wake him up.
...I didn't have to cram him in his car seat while he protested loudly.
...he didn't have to wait "in line" for someone to feed him his cereal this morning.
...I don't have to sit at my desk feeling like I am wasting time.
...I don't have to deal with any bitter, mean co-workers.
...I won't have to come home drained and in a bad mood.

Why?

Because this is my first official day of being a stay-at-home-mom!

This is how we spent our morning!

(Although, you might notice that the pesky laundry basket has re-entered the picture!)

Special Report...7 months

So today the boy is 7 months old! He still has no hair or teeth, but he is making huge strides in other areas!

He still loves to grab things...including the camera!

He likes to eat chicken.
He loves his dog!

And he has decided to try his hand at crawling...
I realize these pictures really don't do it justice, but he actually pulls his legs up under him and wiggles his hiney. At this point, I had been video taping for a bit. By the time I got out the still camera he was tired.

Really, really tired.
Then he ended the day watching Cops with dad.
Also very tiring.

And sometimes he drinks from a sippy!

I have been leaving a sippy cup on the boy's high chair tray every night while I prepare his food. He usually just plays with it, throwing it from one side to the other... or on the floor. The other day as I was preparing his food I heard a funny slurping noise. I turned around to see this...

Are those not the cutest cheeks you have ever seen? He is pretty proud of himself!
