So we have been stuck inside a lot lately due to the rain, and 50 degree weather…..ick!!!
So my Little Lizard has gotten creative and found another way to entertain himself……..
……..yogurt and markers……awesome!!
(I should have got a picture of my kitchen table.)
My friend Katy helps her family raise cows and right now their herd is having a bunch of babies. She said so far hey have about 30 calves, and there have been 2 sets of twins! The momma cow of each set has decided to only care for one of her babies, so they are bottle feeding the two little ones left behind.
Katy invited the kids to come out and help her with the morning feed. So right when we woke up this morning we jumped in the van and headed out. The girls were very excited!
They watched Katy make some bottles and off we went.
Katy said they didn’t have names, so Big Ladybug was SOOOO excited to have the honor. She named this little guy Bailey. He is around 1-month-old and had no problem chugging his bottle.
This little guy was so cute! He loved licking.
(Maybe that’s why they got along so well, Little Lizard loves licking everything too!)
This is baby calf, Ava. She was born yesterday. She was adorable, and the kids were excited to get in there and help to feed her.
Little Lizard really liked her, too :)
Thanks Katy for letting us come and get in your way help you feed the baby calves this morning. We had a great time!
(Oh and I feel bad I didn’t get many pictures of Little Ladybug enjoying herself. I was very busy chasing this little guy around!)
Well our Little Lizard is 15 months old and now insisting on feeding himself. So I thought I would try some suction bowls to help with the mess. As you can see, they don’t help much :)
So far it’s been a pretty emotional process for him because he doesn’t always get his way.
However, he does seem to enjoy all the extra baths :)
Well my husband wasn’t home this particular evening so I was wrangling our lovely children solo. I was in the middle of feeding them dinner, which entailed some mashed potatoes and applesauce, when I received a phone call that I had been waiting for. (Of course it would happen during dinner!)
So in the matter of less than 5 minutes……everything went awry.
My lovely Little Ladybug smeared mashed potatoes everywhere!
And here she is being her usual rotten self…I asked her to smile for the camera :)
She was not acting alone, it’s like they feed off each other.
He had mashed potatoes all through his hair, hands, and body. He then decided that he was going to wiggle himself out of his lap belt and out of his highchair.
(I absolutely LOVE his CHUB!)
After that whole 5 minutes was up, I left everything out and took the messy babies upstairs for a bath.
When I am caught up in chaotic moments like this, I say to myself……”so someday I’m gonna miss this? Huh??”
Deep down though I know I will. They are messy, demanding, loud, and impulsive…..but at the same time, they are so little, sweet, precious, and forgiving. I know they grow up so fast, so I am trying to savor even these crazy moments.
While we were doing school, my Little Lizard kept insisting upon crawling under my chair. And if you know anything about my Little Lizard, you know he is not a little guy! Therefore, he kept getting himself stuck! I kept telling him he was like gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe….but I loved it!!!
Silly Boy!
Well, our little guy turned 1! The last year has gone by so quickly and he is growing up so fast. Here of some photos of him eating his cupcake, which he pieced on so daintily! His big cousin turned 8 and they were able to share a party, which was fun. As you can see I forgot to take extra clothes and a seat for him…oops :)
Thanks for sharing your party, big cousin! (By the way I love the tattoos!)
And Little Lizard got his first haircut! I gave him a sucker to entertain him. Needless to say, I don’t think he actually pulled it out of his mouth to swallow…..what a sweet sticky mess!
My Little Lizard is my only child who has not feared the vacuum! Instead, he runs to it with a big smile on his face :)
Happy 1st Birthday Bubba!!
Our little guy got his first pair of shoes! Or I should say, our little BIG guy! He is a extra wide, size 6 at 11 months!
