Some leftover random shots of Moose from Cali.

Cave Explorer

Apparently I'm still catching up on trip pictures!  I thought I was done!

Jackson got the Safari hat from the Living Desert...he loved the light on it.  So, he and Papa, went for a small adventure walk up to the cave infront of my parents' house.  It's really not all that exciting!  But when you're 2, it's a nice little accomplishment!

The oh-so-exciting cave!

'I made it!'

The house from the cave!

Monster Cakes

Jackson's favorite breakfast food is pancakes...and he's really into monsters right now!  SO...when we saw this pan at Costco...it was a no brainer :)

The morning we had them for breakfast, he also asked to have them for dinner!

Snow Lovin' Fun!

 I'm NOT the only one that loves the snow!  The first day we were home, Jackson asked to go outside to play in the snow at least four times!

The Reality Is...

The reality is that when I go to take a picture of the boys together - it usually looks like this!!!!....

Jackson is trying to push the palm tree over and Sawyer is reaching for the light!

The odd time I get lucky and get a half decent one like this...

One day I know they will sit and smile and amuse their mother...until then - I thoroughly enjoy the photos like these...

 Because this is what being '2' is all about :)

Sawyer is 7 Months Old!

It's true...where the heck is time going?!  Sawyer is already 7 months old...and has changed so much recently!  Here are some pics and facts about our baby bug!

**He is so in love with everything his big brother does**

**He has discovered his tongue and plays with it constantly...except on command!**

 **Is sleeping better at night (aside from vacation)  Usually he sleeps from 8-7:30 with one-two period of wake/complains at night and a dream feed before we go to bed**

**He is eating solids and carrots is his preference**

**He LOVES Baby MumMums**

**He cut two teeth the day he turned seven months and has one on the top on the way**

**He has the sweetest eyes and smile**

**He moves around a lot now and has started to get into the crawl position**

**Takes two solid naps a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon**

**Enjoys chewing on everything and anything is fair game!**

**Is pretty relaxed and easygoing**

**Is wearing 12 month clothes and sometimes 18 month clothes!**

**Last weighed in just under 23 lbs**

**Has been in his big boy car seat for a while now**

Like always, I'm sure there's more - but it's so hard when there's so much going on!

We love you Sawyer...slow down...you're growing too fast!

Happy Swimmer

 The first time we went swimming down here, Moose was surprisingly unsure of himself.  As the days passed he got more and more daring to the point where he would jump into the water into one of our arms, fly from one of us to the other, or scale the 'bench' around the outer limits of the pool.  He also started blowing bubbles, floating and hanging out on his own in the shallow end (with us obviously close by!).  I was really proud at his progress!

He's going to miss this pool!

And one of Sawyer watching all the fun!

We just finished packing our suitcases...we are homeward bound tomorrow!

Chillin in the Sun

Enjoying some snack time outside...because the weather is too good to pass up!

All Jackson has to do is be within a foot of Sawyer - - - and Sawyer is a happy boy!  It's ridiculous!  We could be standing on our heads singing and get no reaction from Sawyer...Jackson could run past him and he'd be giggling!
