100th Blog Post: My Babies

For my birthday, I am getting my blog turned into a book, to have a hard copy of my journal.  (I am getting it done at blog2print, the best prices and easiest to do without downloading something or other.)  So, before I get it printed I wanted to finish my 100th blog post.  This post will be ALL about my favorite subjects... my boys.  And, I am even adding in a video which, sadly, I won't be able to see in my book, but fun none-the-less.

The video is long, but Arlo loves to read, this is an animal book that he loves, but some of his favorite stories are Caps for Sale, The Hungry Caterpillar, The Mouse, The Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear, Goodnight Gorilla, and all his library books that he picks out each week.  I love walking in on him as he is reading... so dang cute!

Tow in a Box!
He is such a mama's boy, if I put him down for more than 2 seconds he starts to cry.  We have a bumbo, a jumper, an exersaucer and for the past few days, he cries the minute I stick him in any of them.  So, I've been coming up with creative ways to keep him contained AND happy.


Every morning we go outside from about 9-10:30 or as late as we can stand it.  Even on 115 degree days.  (It's really not so bad in the shade, with water.)  Once again, since it is an everyday thing, we have to come up with creative ways to stay happy.  The new craze... Bubbles!  
Let me introduce you to.... THE BUBBLE MONSTER!!!!!!

Yes, he always wears his boots outside.

Tow, does the same thing everyday... plays in the pirate ship and gets wet!
He loves it! 


And here is a picture that I just had to post...  This is a picture of he dust storm last night.  It took me a few hours to clean up after it.  There was dust EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

I couldn't stop laughing seeing Cohen in that basket. What a good idea! I seriously wish I had though of that. My little guy is the same way. We have bought everything imaginable to keep him contained and happy but he just wants me to hold him...ALL the time. Luckily he is slowly getting out of this "stage". Congrats on the 100th post. :)
