We've been having a lot of family fun lately. With this goofy guy in tow, who wouldn't?
Glasses? Check. Keys? Check. Snack? Devoured already. (see crumbs on face)
Where's Truett?
I just had to share this adorbale picture of our playgroup bunch. This is from a few weeks ago so of course all of the kiddos have grown since then, but aren't they adorable? For some reason we are missing Reece in this picture - and funy thing is we are all at his house. We are having such a blast with all our new buddies!

DEEEE!!!!
This is a long wordy post, mostly for myself to remember since I sort of stopped updating the baby book...
Everything happens and goes by so fast, I figure I need to record some of the funny things Truett has been doing. He has become quite the copy cat. A few things he has done this week include sweeping (he saw me sweep the garage and has become obsessed with the broom ever since). How dare we take it away! He got mad at me last night b/c I had to take it out of his hands so he could take a bath. LOL.
He also LOVES to type on the computer with his daddy. He walks into Ted's study, grabs his keyboard (Ted gave him an old wireless keyboard and Tru knows just where it is), carries it over to Ted and says "daddy?" and expects to be placed in his lap so he can join daddy at the computer desk.
Tru is my little helper in the kitchen stirring pots (usually on the floor with his own spoon and empty bowls), cleaning with his rag and spray bottle (LOL), and always wanting "uuuu" so he can see what mom is doing on the counter. He also runs over to the fridge when he thirsty and tells me "Miiiii" for milk and/or water.
He also adores to DEEEEE!!!! and by that I mean to DANCE! We have a radio in the corner of the gameroom and he knows how to turn it on (it's an old one from high school...he can have it ;). He will scramble up the stairs saying DEEE!!! and then when he gets to the top he basically dances over to the radio chanting DEEE. It is adorbale, trust me.
He loves turning our fan remote on and off, he still likes to brush those pearly whites of his and he loves to read his books. He will try to climb on anything he can, loves the window blinds, peek-a-boo, hiding, chase, his tent, and throwing/kicking balls around the house and outside. He also takes off running when you tell him "ready, set, GO!" Oh, and now he loves putting things around his neck. What the heck? That is scary for a mom! He likes Mocha's leash, her collar, ties, cords, Mardi Gras beads, toy strings, etc. Talk about not being able to take your eyes off of him! He is a very active little guy and I wouldn't have it any other way.
What else? Oh, he has become very attached to both his grandmas! Just this past weekend he was around his BB and he could have cared less that Ted and I were with him. Then, on Monday my mom was over to watch him and he was very sad to see "gam-aww" leave. He is still our sweet boy giving out kisses to everyone (and everything) that he loves, including himself. LOL. Now if he sees his reflection he ends up kissing it. Hahahaha. And he willeven blow you kisses now when he tells you byebye. :melting: I think his favorite is still "MO-MO" though. He adores her.
He has a few new words, too - DEEE! for dance, Bay-Bay for baby (he has pictures of himself in his room and points/kisses to the bay-bay), and NAAAA or NAAACK for a snak when he is hungry. He will go to the pantry or fridge and let me know. He also knows when I have the diaper bag that there are snacks in there b/c hungry or not he will ask for one, LOL!
See why I need to do a better job about writing these things down as they happen?

HOT is the new NO
So, as most of us with toddlers know, the word NO is a great way to bring out a tantrum in the sweetest of kiddos. I figured out a while back it was much easier to do a better job of child proofing (we really slacked at first), and letting him explore than it is to constantly say NO and take something away. Well, this weekend I spent a lot of time in the kitchen baking and cooking. Of course, this is also my precious time with Truett so he was pretty close by. We had fun stirring pots together, banging wooden spoons on doors, spilling blueberries all over, playing with potholders, peek-a-boo under the kitchen towel, "cleaning" spills on the floor, etc, etc. He also learned all about the word HOT and now it's one of his favorite things to say (for now;). I can pretty much tell him anything is hot and he WILLINGLY backs away or stops what he is doing! I'm sure this won't last long but for now it's nice. I'm lovin' it.
Also, little man had his 3rd double ear infection last week. Poor thing he can't catch a break with his ears. I'm sure it stemmed from his lingering cold he had ALL of January. But, he is so so SO much better and we are very happy he is back to his 'ole self again.
This winter had been awful, especially for Houston standards. It feels like we've been indoors nonstop. Boo. Anyway, to keep us all from staying sane we've been trying new things to entertain True. Last weekend I got him a pop tent from Target and he goes nuts in that thing. It's a great way to release some of that 13.5 month energy.
