Woah baby!

Tis the season for babies! I swear I know more pregnant women right now or have a good friend that just had a baby, old co-workers, or little cousins. Babies everywhere! I LOVE IT! Erik keeps telling me to not get any ideas. I keep telling Alex that he is my baby. He says,"No Mommy, I am your schmoops." Yes you are little man, yes you are.

The boys have been in a good streak lately. Playing well together and going off on their own without any screams of pain 10 minutes in. Some of my proudest moments are when I see Anthony divert Alex's attention to appease him or when I hear him say,"C'mon little buddy." Alex follows like a little duck following the mother hen. Anthony has caught on to the fact that if he tells Alex that he wants to play with something he can intercept the toy that Alex is playing with that he really wanted in the first place.

I have an application on my phone that when you talk into it a parrot echoes what you just said (it is a must for kids if you have a market on your phone). The three of us literally rolled around my bed for a good 45 minutes playing with it last night. I can honestly say that I don't think I have heard Alex laugh that hard before. It felt good to live in the moment, not care that I needed to change the laundry around or that our cereal from supper was still disintegrating on the counter-top. Besides when a parrot talks back to you singing "We Will Rock You" life is good!

Cereal-now that is a great invention! Especially with how hot it has been. Last night we had cereal followed by these new Popsicle that I found that are 100% fruit with no sugar. Very sensible supper. Erik came home starving after work and I told him to take his pick of Cheerios, Crispix, or Honey Bunches of Oats. He was really thrilled!

This weekend we are going to Baudette for a Capouch family reunion. I am sure I will have plenty of stories to share after being with my dad and his 11 siblings plus their families for the weekend. Not to mention some of his cousins that I swear come out of the back woods of Arkansas to come to keep the keg company because they literally never leave its side. But there is a silver lining because my little cousin Mallory just had baby Max, they will be staying with my parents as well. She is my first cousin to have a baby after me and I am so excited!

Hope this finds you all doing well. Amy, I wish I could make it to your shower. I will make it up to my little godchild-don't you worry. I am off to Pout today to buy gifts for all these sweet babies that are coming or have arrived into the world. God bless all you little babies.
