After a long brutal winter, we've finally started seeing some temperatures on the warmer side of freezing. It's hard keeping two active boys cooped up in the house.
It took a while for the snow to melt off the playgrounds, but finally March weather did the trick. Reid and I took a much needed trip to the playground. I love showing him new things like the slide.
Weeee!
That ride was definitely drool worthy!
Happy baby loves some swing!
March was definitely madness at our house as Kentucky made a much deeper than expected run in the tourney. I begged and pleaded to stay up late watching each game- just one more commercial!!! I had to know which team was which, even if it wasn't the Cats playing. I always asked how many team A was winning by and how much team B was losing by - which you would think would be the same amount, but that's not what I meant. I really wanted to know what the score was. Watching basketball taught me a lot actually - not only do I know all about bounce passes, threes, rejections, defense, fouls...I also am now able to count all the way to 100 without missing a number, and this is solely from me watching so many games. I also can identify all numbers up to 100 which is helpful when looking at scores. I cheered my heart out! Turns out the bracket I made with UK in the final game wasn't too far off!
Reid looked pretty fierce in his pregame exercises before the UK/North Carolina game!
But he was all smiles by the end of the game!
Soccer season is back in full swing. I've moved up to the 4 year old league this time. Little Reid is not a fan of coming to my games.
I'm on the light blue team this year. Our name is the Blue Jays. Mimi came up for the week of Mommy's birthday and was able to watch my very first game this year. Funny how we didn't take any pictures of her.
I was definitely right in the middle of the action again this season, but there are some other good players on my team.
Go Coopy Go! I'm good at defense and still really fast. I scored one goal in this game, but I was very disappointed in myself because other kids on my team scored more than one. I was in tears. I still haven't gotten the concept of "team" and no matter who scores, as long as it's for our own team is a good thing. I'm mister competitive.
Later that afternoon, Mister Competitive moved on to trying his hand at baseball in the backyard.
Sometimes you swing and miss... a lesson that I still have to learn.
Cute Little Reid turned 8 months old on Mommy's birthday! He babbles a lot - lots of dada, mama, bubba, and other nonsense. He's really starting to clap a lot. He's eating three meals a day and practically begging for solid foods off of our plates, so he's really gotten to eat a lot of stuff. He still has no teeth. He loves to stand up while holding onto stuff, but he's not pulling up on his own yet. He can scoot backwards on his stomach, but he hasn't figured out the crawling forward motion yet.
A first wagon ride, when pulled by Mimi, is met with all smiles!
More birthdays...my buddy Avram had his fourth birthday party at a real gym, complete with a real trapeze. I rode this over and over and over. I even figured out how to touch my toes to the bar and fly upside down.
Weeee!
From one flying trapeze artist to another, my best buddy Kaya and I took a trip to the Big Top.
We've been best buds since we were 18 months old! It's gonna be tough not seeing Kaya every day when I'm at school in the fall.
And I'll leave you with a little cheese...this is Reid's new face when the camera flash goes off!
He was mad about scooting all the way backwards under his toy, but when the camera went off, he was all cheese!
Cheese! Let's hope the days of normal smiling pictures are not gone!
