Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks Gavin, Leah, Sandy, and Cody for playing with us today!

ABCs interrupted...

...for this special announcement.

Ashton turned 11 months today

and he started swim lessons!

Let's see... what's new with Ashton this month?!?!

Um...

He's walking!!!

I'm not talking about a step here and there.

I'm talking about,

Caitlyn took a toy away from him today

so he ran after her to the opposite room of the house,

WALKING.

It's crazy to see my little guy walking so much.

He mumbles momma and dadda, but I don't think it's on purpose.

He does purposefully sign 'milk' though.

He can crawl up the stairs in a blink of an eye.

He wants to feed himself with a spoon

but hasn't quite mastered it yet which makes feedings very messy.

He HATES having his diaper changed... or having it on at all.

I thought he was getting teeth... but they're not through yet.

He continues to love and laugh with Caitlyn...

and he's quite the cuddle bug.

Love you tons sweet son!

F is for Frost & Fifty Six

Brrr.

It's so frosty out this morning.

Happy Birthday, Mom!!!

You really are one of the most amazing women I know.

I'm so blessed to have You as my Mom,

as are my kids to have you as their Babcia!

I love you!

E is for Expecting

Thank you Cody for being my model!

D is for Drenched

C is for Curl

and Caitlyn

B is for Blue

I took this picture on our last trip from Eastern Washington.

Beautiful blue skyscape.

A is for Alphabet

Fitting for the start of my photographed ABCs!

ABCs

I got this idea from my friend, Kristen who got the idea from her friend, Shannon.  Each day, I am going to embrace my creative side and post a letter from the ABCs with a picture.  I figured this a fun way to try and unleash my 'inner photographer'.  I invite all of my blogging buddies to also use their creativity and photograph the ABCs along with me.  Yay... this is going to be so much fun! 

Flurries, Fun & Firsts

Yes, it is March 8th and it's snowing is the Pacific Northwest.

This morning has been full of snow flurries and fun.

During Ashton's first nap we experimented with

water, food coloring, a straw, and a paper towel.

Caitlyn loves her home art projects.
Check out her smile standing by her art on the fridge.

We learned this fun one from the Sprout channel.

Speaking of fun

Last week is when all the real fun began...

Ashton took his first steps!!!

(Sing this next part in the tune of your favorite song by the nkotb)

Step by step...

ooh baby!

I'm gonna get to you girl!

Please pay no attention to the blurriness of the above collage.

It is near impossible to catch this guy walking on camera.

Here I caught him on one of his longest walks!

He's all the way up to 5 steps!

Our little guy is on the move and loving it!

Coming This Fall

My preschooler.

She is perfectly prepared and precious!!!

I just got home from enrolling my darling daughter in preschool.
The preschool is less than a minute away from my house.
I took that entire minute to flashback on the past 2 1/2 years
and I balled my eyes out.
I cannot believe that this fall I will have a preschooler!
Oh my... getting teary again.
