Random happenings from our week

My little fire chief has been a busy boy this week.

He got his first play-dough kit from a neighbor friend of ours.

He enjoyed rolling, stamping, smashing. And the occasional tasting, too, of course.

And when he was done with all of that, he enjoyed stacking the stamper blocks and knocking them down.

He's also been working his Mickey and Friends alphabet puzzle. I am amazed to watch him put this thing together. He can put in all 26 pieces by himself. I usually try to sit next to him when he's working it so that I can tell him what each letter is, especially since he's mostly interested in which Disney character is next to each letter. When he's finished the puzzle, we sing the ABC's together a couple of times.

Alex also sported a new hat this week from my dear friend Wendy who I used to work with at The Richards Group. She was my "work mom." And she hooked Alex up with a few Ba-ba treats this week that he's just nuts about.

"Yo. What's up?" This was Alex's attempt at putting the hat on himself. This picture makes me laugh.  

Another happening this week...I bought Baby Boy a couple of outfits. I figure that even though he'll be able to wear most of Alex's clothes, he still needs a few things of his own. =) The one on the left is 3 mos, and the one on the right is 12 months. I love rompers for little boys, so I just couldn't pass these two up.

The other big happening around our house this week is taking place in this room. BIG changes are underway, even as I type.

LOTS more to come on this in the days ahead, so stay tuned...

Happy weekend, all.
