Happenings around here...

We've I've been busy building block castles.


But then someone always comes along and tears them down. {I'll be honest- it took me a while to be okay with this. The first few times I tried protecting, hiding, or moving my masterpieces. My sweet husband finally told me to get over the demolishment or quit building.}


We've also been learning our body parts. At almost 16 months, Trent can show you his hair, ears, mouth, hands, feet and bellybutton. {The eyes and nose are a little shaky for some reason.} Here's what happens when you ask about his bellybutton.


Much to my dismay, he's decided that riding in the wagon, stroller, buggy, etc. is overrated. He'd rather push it himself. I think he might have control issues:)


What? You don't wear your sunglasses indoors with a stained shirt and no pants?


We pulled out the sidewalk chalk for the first time last weekend.


He was amused for about five minutes.


There's nothing like a touchdown with sidewalk chalk in both hands.


Have you noticed that most of my pictures are taken outside these days? While I know natural light is optimal, we photograph outside because a certain little man LOVES being outside. Not only does he love being outside, but he's taken to throwing fits when it's time to come inside. He's also decided that diaper changes are my way of torturing him, and he screams like he's stepping on hot coals. Although, he loves putting the wet diapers in the trash when we are finished. Welcome to toddlerhood!
