More updates to the house

We have done some more painting and bought new currtains for the livingroom and dining room. I ahve been asked to provide some more pictures and here they are:

Please excuse the mess...we are not finshed painting the room. We are painting the same khaki that is in the livingroom.





I think the curtains go great. Don't you?

For Easter and Aiden's Birthday, my mom bought the boys bikes. Well, Jonah a bike and Aiden a ride on choo-choo. Jonah would not stay still longer than one picture on the bike. But Aiden was all happy about having his picture taken (plus, his poor legs are not long enough to touch the floor). He is extremely happy. Thank you, Grandma.

It was not planned that he would be in a Thomas outfit when Grandma bought the ride-on. I think it adds to his excitment. Maybe I will have a railroader in the future.

Play-dough

Who would have thought that 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of water, 1 cup of salt, 2 tablespoons of cream of tarter, 2 tablespoons of water, and food coloring would trulybe a magic potion to tame a toddler.

Last weeknd, I decided that I would make some to see how Jonah would like playing with play-dough. We have tried the silly putty and it just turned his hands, clothes, sadly his mouth green. Which by the way is hard to make not green or some shade of green. I was a little afraid that the bold colors made by the food coloring would bleed and turn my house to multi-colored mess, but guess what; They didn't. Yeah, happy momma dance!

I asked Jonah what colors he would like and he choose orange, blue, James red, Pepe (Percy)green, and Ma-mow (Grandma) purple.

Flying high

So for Easter, we got Jonah a kite and the past couple of days have been great to fly a kite. So we brought it out a little early for Jonah to play with...HE HAD A BLAST. Here are some pictures we took:

And of course...it is a Thomas kite.

Say Cheese!

Long time, no blog.

Sorry, I have been kinda slacking in the blogging department lately. (again.) The past couple of weeks have been busy. We are officially 3 weeks away from Aiden's first birthday. (Yikes!) I still have no clue what we are going to do for him or what we are getting him.

We went this past weekend with Grandma Shu to the outlet mall about an hour south of here to buy him and Jonah some new clothes. It was a really nice, relaxing trip. I was actually able to find some footed pjs at Carters. I have been trying to find footed pjs for weeks now. I swear clothes makers think that once a child is out of 9 mth clothes that they will actually keep socks on thier feet and not in their mouths.

Monday, Aiden went to the dr. and he is growing nicely. He is 21.6 lbs and 29" long (50% in both areas). He no longer needs any of his reflux meds and in couple of weeks we can move to whole milk. Also, we will be moving away from the baby food and start giving him actually full tablefood meals. (Yeah! Do you see me doing the no formula and all tablefood happy dance?) He now has 5 teeth and one more working it's way through (4 in the last 2 weeks). He is starting to cruise and is working on the stairs. It will not be long before we have to gate the world again.


We have officially been in our house for a year now (wow!, it has gone by so quickly). And we finally put paint on the walls. I have not taken any pictures yet, but I will. We have painted our living room a very deep red and khaki. We have bought paint for our bedroom (a dark blue) and game room (a misty aqua blue). Hopefully, before the summer is over, we will have the boys' rooms painted. So if you ask Jonah- "What color do you want your room?" he will respond "Orange and Blue" and he means Home Depot Orange. I guess he is like his parents and likes color.

We are ready for spring and summer... plus the fruit and veggies that go with it.
