Frog Belly

 
Liitle t is getting bigger, not going to his legs or anywhere, just seems to stay by his belly... looks like a little frog belly.

Luv My Toes

 
In the last day or so I have discovered that I luv my toes!

First Tooth!!!

 
It may be hard to see, but t cut his first tooth early Sunday morning!

Whale of a Breakfast!

 
 
 
We had Whale, Bicycle, and Cactus Pancakes, can't wait till t is old enough to appreciate them!

Alecia... We're Still Not Worthy

 
So our friend, Alecia, is a MASTER COUPON SHOPPER always finding ways to get 75% or better off her groceries. It has boggled our minds as week after week we see her blog with the two dozen or so items that she has purchased for less than $20. We finally consulted with her and we still have a ways to go, but we got all this for $23! It was a 66% savings! I am so proud of my dear wife. What was more funny is that when I got home she said, "It was a total adreneline rush!"

The Kitchen

 
 
 
So we realized that many of you will not be down to see us and we will probably not be able to have pics of the whole house clean and decorated at the same time, so here is our little kitchen!

Is there something on my head?

My parents are always so mean and playing games with me!

Tummy Time

 
It is rare that we can get a pic of him on his stomach and happy at the same time!

New Sunday Ritual

 
So now on Sundays when we get up from our nap we get online and video chat with the family. Let's be honest everyone wants to see little t, so we stage him on the couch and point the camera his way! He was very happy and loud for both grandmas this week!

Did you say Family Pics are Over?!

 
This was just as we were leaving the Old Paper Mill. It seemed like most of the time he was looking away, chewing on his overalls, or asleep. But Britt put it best when she said, "Of all these pics, this one made it worth it!"

The One & Only

 
We went to the Paper Mills Ruins a few miles away from our house in the attempts to shoot our own family pictures. We did not realize that we would have to hike in a half mile to get there and we brought a stroller not a carrier. Between lighting issues, tripod issues, and the fact that we would both like to loose some baby weight we did not keep many photos. This is the one and only family pic that was even close to looking decent. To see the rest of the pics click on the 'The One and Only' link above.

We went to the Park?

 
Much good it does to try and get him out. For the hour at the park, he was awake for less than 15 minutes. No pic, but found out he is not yet a fan of slides. Britt and t slid down together and he nearly cried.

Hi Pebbles!

 
This is one of his toy dogs that Ma Rube gave him, we call him Pebbles. He really likes to chew on him and his friend, Daisy.

Homemade Chicken and Dumplings

 
Britt made this for dinner Tuesday night, it was DELISH!

Helping w/ the Laundry

 
Little t helped out with the laundry... so cute!

Labor Day Picnic

 
Little t and Mom enjoying the picnic we had.

Kindt's Rainbow Jell-O!

 
Yeah, how cool is this? We had a little get together with some families from church and the Kindt's brought this! It was a hit.

Mom, little t, BIG CHICKEN

 
This has become a famous landmark in Marietta. Look at any map of the area and it will simply say, 'Big Chicken.' You cannot tell from this still frame, but it actually moves. The beak opens and closes and the eyes rotate. It is some sight!

The Coveted Bag!

 
For our date night on Friday, it was the first time we left t with someone other than family! We went to Applebee's and then to the First-Friday Artwalk. When we got there we found out you could earn a FREE Bag... we jumped through some hoops and actually got one in the nick of time. Britt was so happy! Thank you Joe & Carrie!

Ducky Face

This is T's ducky face. He sure does crack me up when he does it.
