Sittin' Pretty...er...Handsome

This week was a fun week! Despite rainy days indoors, frequent outbursts of "MINE!" from Jack and an occasional potty training accident, we had fun playing with the boys and being Mommy and Daddy to them. Shelby celebrated her 3rd birthday on the 18th and her party was today. It was such a cute party. Very girly with the princess theme, which I love that seeing as how all parties we will throw will be boyish. I wish I had a picture to post of the birthday girl, but I left my camera at home. I'll steal one from Kim. It's so crazy how fast all of Jack's buddies (and Jack, too) are growing up! Bittersweet, for sure!!!!


Finley is practicing the art of sitting up. Here he is in his Sit Me Up Cozy that he got for Christmas. He loves it. He seems to feel some sort of independence when he's sitting in it and he's able to access all of his toys. Finn's still pretty wobbly and definitely can't be trusted on his own without some nearby cushion, but he's doing pretty well.

He loves looking into his mirror toy, too. Even he knows what a hottie he is.

And here's our oldest son, Crazy Raincoat Head Man! The last blog spoke of the new 'Thing on Head, Run Into Wall or Anything Else' Game. Here's Jack playing the game. Although it does appear that it's the halftime show or something because he's not in motion.

Finally he came out for a pose. What a goober! Check out the nice Handy Manny undies, courtesy of Jen and Gracen. He gets very excited when it's a Handy Manny day. Wouldn't you?

Here's another of the FinnMan sitting up. This is one of his other favorite toys, which means that it plays music. We're not fortunate enough for any of our kiddos' favorite toys to be silent ones.

Maybe he'll be a soccer player like his Mommy! Finn ended up timbering on to the pillow behind him, but he figured out that his feet made it work just as well as his hands did!

*Another poop related Funny Jack Story*
Jack has started saying that he needs to 'make a rocket ship' whenever he needs to go to the restroom #2 style. He'll usually comment on the size of the rocket ship and then bid it a nice farewell when he flushes. 'Bye Bye, Rocket Ship!' He's also 'delivered' what he described to be a 'baby car'. At least he's not lacking in the creativity department!
