Alex is 1 1/2 !!!!

I really wanted to do a little something for him, but as the day progressed, I just plain forgot. Go figure! Do you think he'll hold it against me? He's definitely more of a toddler now than a baby. He gets very frustrated when he doesn't get his way. If I don't give him the spoon, he refuses to eat. He wants to do everything his big sister does. Oh yeah, he also hides when he poops, then he'll come tell me by pointing to his diaper. I'm probably being overly optimistic, but I'm buying that boy a potty chair! As he gets older, he and Ava can actually entertain each other, so that's been nice. We had a big box in here the other day, and they must have played with that thing for an hour. It was so sweet to hear them laughing and playing with each other!

Waaaaaa! Don't take my picture! Waaaaaa!

Ok, maybe just one.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! It's still scorching here ( think triple digits), but for some reason it just hasn't been bothering me. We've been utilizing the water hose and that little blue pool to keep cool. I gave the kids Popsicles while they were sitting in the pool today and honestly, I've never heard them so quiet! They thoroughly enjoyed them so I've got yet another thing to bribe them with! It was Alex's first Popsicle and at first he didn't quite know what to do with it. He kept dipping it in the water, which of course made it melt faster! Some things they've just got to learn on their own. I wanted to take a picture but he didn't have any clothes on. Later I realized that I could just crop "certain things" out. I'll make a mental note of that because that boy runs around nakee a lot!

While stuck inside, due to the extreme heat, I've been doing a lot of baking. Ava loves to help too, and it sure does get messy! I can't wait to try some new recipes out for everyone in Fresno. Getting together with family just seems to go hand in hand with food!
