The Pantry...

Remember my post not too long ago about the boy that wasn't quite 10 months yet? Well, I finally had time to edit some proof of the destruction he creates in our house! I'd taken these pics about a month ago, but have been quite busy with client photos and have just now gotten around to editing them.

So my kids have a bad habit of leaving the pantry open. Which leads to Caleb exploring and pulling everything off the shelf. No biggie... keeps him busy while I do dishes, clean, etc., even grab the camera for pics!

Well, I must have left the kitchen to go to the other room for some reason and when I came back, I found this! Eating chips... Mind you, we didn't start him on solids and it was baby food at that until 6 months. I don't think chips are first foods approved!


Then about a week later, same scenario... Someone left pantry open, I allowed him to play because it keeps him busy so I can do things, I head to the other room to do something and come back to this... Lucky Charms. Lucky for him, huh?! At least these are a little 'safer' than chips!


I thought this pic was funny... My pantry after Caleb...


Caleb after Lucky Charms! ~~Priceless~~


I have to say, this little boy is definitely keeping me on my toes! I cannot fathom what our days will be like once he's walking. If you think about it, go ahead and start praying for me now!

Just a swingin'...

About a month or so ago we bought Caleb a swing... Well, Kevin wasn't home yet, so I just rigged it up so he could try it out until daddy got home. He was loving it! This is one of the many ways we pass the time waiting for him to come home for the day.


So now, Kevin has taken down the red see saw looking swing thing so that all 3 kids can swing together. They love it and we do it quite often! Now if we can just get some grass growing in the backyard we'd be good to go!

Do you hear what I hear?

So the little man had surgery on Friday. He had to had tubes put in and he also had a tongue-tie repair done. The whole thing took less than 20 minutes! I think it took longer for him to wake up and come to recovery than it did for the entire surgery. When we got to recovery to see him, he gave us the biggest smile! The nurse even commented that when he woke up the first thing he did was give her a smile. So we gave him some juice since he hadn't had anything since 2 am and he was a happy camper. It wasn't long and we were on our way. Once we got home, he nursed and then took a 3 hour nap! I even got to sneak in a little nap. He woke up happy and has been good since then. Really only getting fussy when he's tired or hungry!

Here he is before his surgery... Poor thing had no idea what was to come!


Then these were afterwards once we were home and he'd had his nap. Isn't he the happiest thing you'd ever seen that had been through surgery that morning?! Sorry for the picture overload... He was just hamming it up for the camera! Oh and see his two new top teeth?



Disclaimer: These photos aren't portfolio worthy at all! Several were taken in auto, have flashy pinlights, my carpet needed to be vacuumed-darn rug that sheds, etc., but oh well... some days we need a day off, huh?!
