Gross

Ok, there are no pictures to go along with this blog and you will soon find out why. So, we have been preparing to potty train our sweet little Will, we have been talking about poo poo and pee pee more than normal and making it seem like so much fun to go on the "big boy potty". I put Will down for his nap today and listened as he played contently with trucks as he usually does before falling to sleep. He started calling out my name, I ignored is for a bit just thinking he wanted to get out and play. After a while I thought "what if he is trying to tell me he needs to go potty?", so I opened the door ever so slowly to check in on him. Please brace your self for what's to come............. First, the smell hit me like a ton of bricks, next I saw the piles of poo poo on the floor beside his crib dripping off toys and books (that'll teach me to not keep his room clean). I followed the poop trail up the crib to one Will J Dunham smiling ever so sweetly with one hand reaching out saying "poo poo, poo poo, poo poo " without a care in the world. Like poo all over him, the bed, toys, pillow, sheets, sippy cup, books, did I mention him form head to toe, his blankee and binki was nothing out of the ordinary. Like today was any other day. If this is like any other day in our near future please............. somebody HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: any ideas on how to potty train, anything that worked for you? Please pass in on.

Finn at 5 months

How come rolls and big cheeks only look cute on babies? Since our 50 mm lens has been acting up we've had to use the "big daddy" lens which is not as easy to pull out or cart around. So, I haven't been taking as many pictures. I snapped a couple of Finn on our walk today with my phone, they are not the best but you'll still get to see how big he is getting. I will start shooting more pics as of tomorrow, I promise.

Oh Dear!

I swore that if I had another boy I'd not let him go through his early days with the "old man fringe". You know, where the hair falls out everywhere but the base of the skull? Will went through much of his first year this way. Finn had it doubly bad, a mohawk and the old man fringe with nothing in between. Notice I said "had". Now, I swear if we have another baby boy I'll never cut his mohawk and old man fringe.

North Carolina

We've has such a fun week so far. We just got back from a mini family vacation to North Carolina's southern outer banks. We knew that was one of the trips we wanted to take this summer but decided last minute to go. We left the dogs at a boarder (it's so nice not traveling with two dogs) and we were on our way. The trip started off with an airplane ride much anticipated by our little Will. "fy away, in sky" he says while making a flying motion, his hand starting from his hip up and over his head. Upon landing there was a short drive till we reached the beach. Will had a BLAST playing with daddy in the waves, piling up sand ( we forgot beach toys so had to improvise with the hotel ice bucket and lid) etc.... while Finn and I hung out on the towel trying to keep the sand and sun out of his face. Finn doesn't like when he's hot so the late afternoon beach day was not his favorite. We toured an old Civil War fort , strolled the streets of a historic water front twon, tried to find a light house (but never did), went to the beach again (earlier in the morning this time so everyone had a good time), and ended the trip with an aquarium visit. Will had the pleasure of attending the Chicago aquarium a number of times but found this one to be much more exciting as they allowed the kids to touch some of the fish. Through all that fun the icing on the cake was when we headed back to turn in our rental car and take the "Big Bus" aka Hertz shuttle back to the air port. The driver sat Will in what she called the captains chair and made a big production out of it. He was having the time of his life! As all little boys he is obsessed with big machinery especially buses. There are lots of pictures of Will and TJ, not so many of Finn and I. I was the camera women and finn was strapped to me so.............. Till next time
