My adidas

Carson was blessed with his first pair of adidas last week. I asked him if I could take a picture of his new shoes and this is what I got, complete with an “EEEEEEeee” (cheese). Nice, huh?

So apparently he’s too cool to pose properly to show of his new adidas, so I’ll have to share what I could get.

But he quickly dumped his new kicks in favor of his sister’s Fancy Nancy shoes. Sorry for the poor quality – it’s almost as though he knew I would be blackmailing him with these someday and he refused to really let me …

Punta Cana–the end

Here are the last of the pictures from our big vacation. We had a great time – once we got past the leaky ceiling and long day of travel. We spent all day everyday at the pool, except when we were at the snack bar or lunch buffet eating enormous amounts of french fries, pizza or nachos with nasty liquid cheese. My dad & Emily did go scuba-diving one day, and the grown-up boys went deep-sea fishing (Rick also did some deep-sea puking…)

Um, can you say sunburn? My only sunscreen screwup of the week…

Me & my darling sister.

Chocolate

The resort last week had a Kids Club – and while Mallory & Lauren only visited it for about an hour one day, they still enjoyed the nightly show that the Kids Club put on. There were usually a bunch of dances and games, and one of the songs totally got stuck in my head. I asked the Kids Club lady to teach it to us the day we left and she was a great sport and let us record her doing the dance.
I found the song on iTunes, and ended up finding the dance on Youtube (this video is …

More from my Zoo

Mallory: “Mom, what time is it?”
Me: “10.46.”
M: “Hmm. That’s weird. 10.46? That’s really weird.”

Mallory saw me holding Cameron one afternoon at the pool and immediately her baby radar picked up on it. “Mom! Can I hold baby Cameron?” I told her that later, after she got out of the pool, that she could hold the baby. That night at dinner, Mallory went over to my sister. “Um, Aunt Emily? Um, can tomorrow, um, can I hold…?” Emily interrupted her and said “do you want to hold him right now?” Mallory was in heaven.

The real explosion

Carson’s word explosion is continuing. The coolest thing is that while most of his “words” aren’t super clear, he is starting to repeat you when you ask him to say a word. On it’s own, you wouldn’t know that “neh” is “Shane”, but that’s how he says Shane when I ask him to say it. This is a huge improvement over a month ago when you’d ask him to say a word and he’d give you a look like “oh HELL NO”.
So, without further ado, here are his latest words, followed by the English version.

Canvas-able

I had a goal on this trip to get a canvas-able picture of us. I hired my sister to take our pictures one night on the beach.
Success.

It’s my Blogiversary!

Holy cow – my blog is five years old this week! I started this blog when we found out we were pregnant with the Mal-Star in February of 2006.
My blog turning five means that my pumpkin will turn five in about nine months.
Hold me.

Mama’s Boy

While I still can, I am making this boy of mine love his mama like he should.
Which means that he got a tattoo of my name on his bicep today. He smudged it a little before it totally dried, but I still LOVE it.
Here’s my sweet baby showing off his guns (he flexes like this when we ask “where are your muscles?”).

Mallory got a little flower on her foot.
