Yes, that is a straw in his mouth. There was adult supervision (most of the time).

I Finally Get It

After months, possible years, of grumbling every time my extremely thirsty daughter wanted a drink, I finally hit on a solution. I didn't want her downing Capri-Sun or juice boxes at every turn so I filled 6 cups with juice/water and put them in the fridge first thing in the morning. Then, she can access them at will. If she drinks them all before bedtime, then she has to have water only. Finally! Freedom from drink servitude!

Motherhood sucks your brain cells.

Weekend Warriors

Our 4 day weekend started in Tulsa with a night in a hotel with Grandma Charlotte and Papa (see Lucas in the previous post). Then, we visited Uncle Ty to see his new house. Aunt Lindsey was working so we missed seeing her. I didn't take a picture of their house but Ty took us to a neat park that is in their neighborhood.


After we left Tulsa, we headed to Greenwood, MO to see Uncle Smokey, Aunt Kristy, and Jackson. They took us to the Deanna Rose Children's Farm in Overland Park, KS. This place is a must- see if you are ever in the area! First of all, it's free! They operate on donations. Second, there are many animals for the kids to pet, beautiful flowers everywhere, and play areas galore.

Lillian wasn't completely enthused about feeding baby goats.

Lucas 7 months

Lucas turned 7 months on Sat. Here he is in a pile of pillows on a hotel bed.

- No teeth but still drooling like they should be here soon
-Today he pulled up on a tub of toys! Yikes!
-Has tried a french fry and gummed a cucumber slice
-Has decided he definitely doesn't like green vegetables!
-Wants to keep up with mobile kids sooo badly!
-Loves his walker, especially when he has lots of room to move like the driveway
-Reaches out for someone when he wants to be held
-Makes all kinds of sounds and noises like he's "talking"
