Yesterday, since I had the day off, we decided to take the kids to the Living Museum. Ted was able to take the day off too so it was a large family outing. I decided to be a bit adventurous and stay out all day, instead of having Brody take his nap. In his whole 2 and half years, I think he has missed his nap maybe 3 times......so I wasn't sure how he was going to deal. He did great! He never napped but was really good. Last night, he zonked out pretty early, which we pretty much expected because we knew he had to be tired. The living museum was cool and it was so much fun to see Brody's reaction to some of the exhibits. There was a fake turtle shell that was big enough for kids to climb in, but Brody would not get near it. My sister tried to take his picture, but he wasn't having it! I definitely plan to take him there again.
Ted's birthday was on Wednesday and Tab and Kevin came down today and we are going to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate. My parents are going to watch the kiddies, so it will be nice to have an adult outing. I can't wait.
In other good news, Ted ended up getting the government job he wanted! He found out last week and he officially starts on August 16th. He definitely wanted to be a government employee so he is really excited. The best part too is that he won't have to travel nearly as much as he has in his current job. Thank God! As much as it was nice for him to travel, it will be nice for him to be home more. I am really proud of him and I hope he ends up enjoying the job.
Other than that, not much else is going on. We have started encouraging Brody to use the potty more, but he really wants nothing to do with it. He will sit on it, but he won't go. Then, other times, we will ask him if he wants to go, and he will say no. I think this transition might be a bit difficult. At school, they will be working with him too so I am hoping that once he starts seeing the other kids go, he will start. But, I am not going to force it. I don't want it to be a stressful thing for him so we will see what happens.
Molly is officially crawling now.....up on her hands and knees. She is trying to pull herself up too. We are going to lower her crib here soon because she is constantly sitting up and pulling up on the side of her crib. She has started to become more vocal now and is still real laidback. Brody still doesn't really have much to do with her yet. He has interacted with her more, but not as much as I was expecting. I hope that as she gets older, he will have more to do with her. It will be nice for him to have a little play buddy (except for Mommy and Daddy!)
Here are some recent pictures.......
Ashleigh and Molly....I can't believe how old Ashleigh and Anthony are now!
I was waiting for this to happen one day. We put Brody down for his nap, and sometimes, he will get up and get a book from his drawer. He must have grabbed one, decided to look at it on the floor, and fell asleep. He slept like this for almost 2 hours!
Mallory looking all cute and posing for the camera!
This is what Brody looked like after playing outside for like 15 minutes last weekend. It was digustingly hot and humid. I don't even know how he could stand it out there
This is her supermodel pose......
I love this picture of Brody and Molly.....they were watching TV. It didn't last long......
We started introducing the sippy cup to Molly...she does pretty good with it.
I love both of their looks in these two pictures. We see this often from both of them....
