Nothing new

but kinda funny.

Taken in Nov when he was about 7 months old.

New Teethies

I discovered 2 new teethies coming in.


His bottom lateral incisor's are both coming in, which will give him a grand total of 8 teeth. When they are in, I'll sure miss the 2 little bottom teeth being lone rangers. I love his 2 bottom tooth smile!

snack time

A few days ago Scotty has just finished his lunch and I was cleaning up his mess, when I heard giggling coming from the hall that leads to the entry way. This could only mean one thing, I had not put the gate back infront of the stairs and Scotty was excitedly about to go up them unassisted. So without taking a moment to put away what was in my hand, I ran immediatly to him. Sure enough he was already on the 4th step. When he saw me coming he giggled more and picked up the pace. Step 5, Step 6... I threw the half eaten bowl of veggies that I had been getting ready to put in the fidge, before my mad dash to the stairs, on the entry table and ran up after Scotty. Instead of grabbing him and bringing him back downstairs, I followed closely behind him as he made his way up the stairs. We played in his room for awhile, read some books in the rocking chair and even cleaned up his tub toys that had been left about after his morning bath. By the time we came back down the stairs, I had all but forgotten the bowl of veggies left on the entryway table.

As I went to the kitchen and finished cleaning, Scotty found the bowl and decided to make a snack out of the peas, carrots, corn and green beans. Any that happened to fall onto the floor, became Keeley's afternoon snack (Keeley is quickly learning that if Scotty has food, he should stay close by). And then when the food was gone, he politely put the empty bowl back where he had found it.

Bathtime

Scott loves his bathtime. He gets super chatty and noisy if you turn the faucet on while he is in the bath. Here are a few pics and a video of Scott James enjoying his bath.







Some words you'll be able to pick out of the video are "ball", "dog" and "uh oh". Then of course there is the excited shrieking. :)

The New *Puff*

Scotty loves these new little crackers we picked up over the weekend. They have totally won over this puff loving boy. Although he calls these "puh"'s too.





see, he couldn't even wait for me to finish taking the pics before he decided it was time to eat.

Looks like it is time for a bath...

Proof that he is going from baby to little boy. He loves playing in the dirt, and to tell you the truth, I've actually caught him trying to taste the dirt a few times too. I wish I would have gotten a picture of his face, he had dirt smeared all over his nose, chin and forehead. Not to mention all over both of my arms and right leg.

pointing at laughing

Here is a picture of Scott right as we were sitting down to Mindy's birthday lunch. When I uploaded and saw it, I had to laugh, because I think he was saying to me...

"Ha ha ha... you think you are going to have a nice relaxing lunch with friends?!?! Just wait until I scream and screech, throw menus, crush my crackers, throw my sippy cup at the man next to us (twice), pull the table paper/cloth up over and over, grab Allison's food with my bare hand, spit out any food you may put in my mouth and kick off my shoes!"

Outside Voice

As you know we have been going outside a lot lately. He has somehow figured out that outside is a good place to yell, I think he learned it from Jack over Easter weekend. **Notice the last picture**

Taz Devil

Yesterday morning we woke up to a clean house. It took all of 15 minutes to go from spotless and clutter free to this!




This walking thing is keeping both of us busy!

Reading

Scott loves to take time out of his busy schedule to read a book.

Worker Man Scott

and his side kick Keeley!

the good, the bad, and the

SAD!!!

The saddest thing about these pictures is that he isn't crying because he got hurt or because he didn't get his way. He is crying because I startled him. I stubbed my toe really hard... YELLED and then hit the couch with my hand a few times (as you do after you stub your toe). Then I noticed the look on Scotty's face that soon turned to sobs. I tried to hold him, kiss him, smile at him... but he kept crying. I felt so bad for scaring him that I got a little teary eyed myself.

Mommy needs to remember that how she acts doesn't only affect her anymore.

Crumbs

Here is the little S man "wiping the crumbs" from his hands. It is so funny!!

Watching his b-day video

Scott loves watching the video Ty made for his 1st birthday!

Can you tell?

5 Guys

We missed you dad!

YAY!!~OUTSIDE!

I cleaned off the deck and let Scotty play outside. He was so happy. He was barking like a dog (as his cousin Jack taught him to do) and watching all the kids, cars and people that would pass by. I can already tell he is going to like spring and summer!
