He's at the stage where throwing the ball equals it falling behind his head about 50% of the time.

So. cute.

94/365: Macro Monday

The ranunculus lasted all week and modeled for a few last shots before they met their demise. The top image is from a monster weed in the backyard. Seriously, it's huge. I think I'm going to have to hack it down with the trimmer we use for tree branches!

For those who don't appreciate Macro Monday :) Look how hard he's working!!

93/365: Field of Weeds

untitled.jpg

I love a good field full of weeds! I also thought I could have captioned this image "hey look- I can jump in a field too!" Hehe... asking Isaac to jump is my current best trick for getting him to stay in one spot and do something that is interesting to look at :) I really did love that I found this field on our walk this evening, My favorite road is fabulous and all, but it was nice to have a change of scenery.


And just for fun...

here is what you get when you ask your blue, very sensitive, eyed child to look up at you when it is sunny. I tried the "open your eyes when I count to 3" trick but I don't think we're quite at that point yet. He would open his eyes on 3, but look directly at the ground. Oh well.

92/365: Elmo is out of Gamut

We'll just pretend I rocked the SOOC's and that Elmo red is a color that my camera's sensor likes, mmmkay?

We've got a little rash going on on little guy's torso today. High fever for several days, with no other symptoms besides reduced appetite and increased crankiness, followed by onset of flat rash after the fever has broken. Bingo- Dr. Google says Roseola. At any rate, I can't wait until he's well!

91/365: Recovering

No fever since 3 am this morning. We're still in recovery mode though. I forgot how clingy babies with few words can be when they're sick. Poor little guy. Hopefully we'll be getting out of the house tomorrow.

Otherwise we (read, mostly I) might go crazy.

90/365: Hanging in There

untitled-11.jpg
Just like the ranunculus (well, most of them) we are hanging in there. Poor Grayden is suffering with a pretty high fever and the rest of us- while we aren't sick- are kind of cranky as well. If it wasn't such a gorgeous day we'd be in trouble :)

We're about out of baby tylenol and motrin so we're going to have to make a super quick run to Target when the boys get up from nap. Yes... I'm going to be that Mom. The one who takes her sick kid out in public. In my defense, he isn't coughing.

And... I promise not to put him in a cart, so he won't spread slobber germs!

89/365: Jump Around

untitled-10.jpg
Stuck at home with a feverish, fussy, clingy little guy. We did get out of the house for a walk and I asked Isaac to jump while showing me "star hands." Does anyone else know that term from gymnastics class? Isaac has benefited so much from going to gymnastics... I highly recommend it for any kiddo!
