Homework Helper

Isn't she just a peach?

I don't know how I could have done it without her . . .

Happy Birthday, Great Grama!

Outside

Mitch loves being outside.

This afternoon he played in the dirt, ate a teething biscuit (these things remind me of dog treats!) and enjoyed some bubbles.

We love this weather!

Daddy & Me

Birthday Girl

Mitchell's cousin Haylee turned 1 last week.

We went up for a celebration.

She had pink all over her face in no time!

These two are 3 months apart. Haylee is a dainty little lady and Mitch seems to be the hefty boy cousin!

Cousin Jack is really good with his little relatives.
Here he is offering Mitch one of his "creatures".

This tractor was a huge hit!

He pushed this little gadget all over the floor, getting uber frustrated when he ran into an obstacle and was forced to stop!

Watching the gift opening with Dad.

A very tired little boy was nonetheless still quite

interested in everything Jack did.

Weekend with the Grands

Sweet new Romeos from Uncle Russ and Aunt Laci.

All Allstot men have them and Mitch is no exception!

A beautiful countenance helping with the baking.

A delighted naked escape artist streaking down the hall!

Swinging with Grampa was very much enjoyed

Stealing Grampa's glasses was the best, though!

Doing homework . . .

. . . and this is what I see. I'm just a tad jealous!

Mother's Day

I got to celebrate Mother's Day today with my guys.

Bryan was husband extraordinaire and Mitchie put on a good show, too. Here he is in his favorite duds - almost nothing!

Here's my mom. She's the mom I want to be - wild hair, crazy duds and a heart full of love. Who else can look so good on a tide flat? She's the best, bar none.

9 Months Old

He's now been out in the world as long as he was in with me!

We went to the doctor today and Mitch is thinning out - he's not in the 95th percentile anymore now that he's constantly on the go. He now weighs 23lbs and is 29 inches tall. Quite a happy little boy.

His cheeks and head remain in the 95+ percentile range!

Sure, he has baseballs. However, when I'm home alone, I get to choose the toy!
