It is hard for me to think that in a month my little man will be ONE! This year has gone by so quickly and I am glad to have the summer time to spend with him and soak up every once of 'baby' time with him.</div>

Ross is definitely a momma's boy and even more so now that I am able to be home with him. He is definitely a boy on the move and into EVERYTHING! This weekend we are having to Ross-proof everything. Probably the most disgusting of his obsessions: the toliet! He loves the thing so I found myself cleaning it and him like a crazy woman. Loves to flush it - yep. Loves to undo the entire toliet paper roll - yep. Loves to lift the seat and splash in the water - oh yeah!</div>

Ross isn't walking yet but he cruises on everything. We are hoping he will be walking for his birthday {we have a little something special for him for his birthday and fingers & toes crossed he will be able to walk to do it!} My man eats everything so he is extremely heathly and already wearing 2T. My mother-in-law told me at my baby shower that my husband was the same way!</div>

I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream! Today we and some great friends of ours loaded up the car with ice cream books, snacks, and iphones and headed about an hour and half down the road to Brenham. We took the kiddos to the Blue Bell Creamery to see how ice cream is made and packaged.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e_vsWivlK84/T9pA71X1U_I/AAAAAAAABuM/e77QC2X3Rm0/s1600/Blue+Bell+Creamery+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" pca="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e_vsWivlK84/T9pA71X1U_I/AAAAAAAABuM/e77QC2X3Rm0/s320/Blue+Bell+Creamery+001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We raced there to make sure we weren't late for our tour... but we were anyway so we caught the next tour. While we waited we checked out some of the antique ice cream displays.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Outside their was an antique ice ceam delivery car that we hitched a ride on. There were no cameras allowed on the tour... can't let the ice cream secrets out. We did learn some interesting facts on the tour</div>
like Homemade Vanilla is the only flavor made everyday, all the other flavors are made on certain days. They only make 6 flavors a day!! Also it takes 60,000 cows to produce the amount of milk for one day of production!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the best part of the tour - After the tour we got to eat ice cream! Yummy!</div>

I have been looking fowarding to this day since the moments right after I found out we were having a girl... Her first day of dance class!</div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I danced my way through life from the age of 5 on. Memories of my childhood revolve around dance and I still to this day remember most of the performances and songs I danced to. If I was at school, I was dancing and after school my sweet dad would take me to the dance studio and set up a table and tv in his minivan and grade his students' papers.

Before last year's Luau Birthday Party, I had began thinking about what I wanted to this year for Merritt's 4th Birthday. My friend Jen always joke around about how far in advance we plan our themes for birthday parties. Merritt's love for art has grown over the past year so an Art Party was perfect!</div>

My super creative previously mentioned friend, Jen did an excellent job with all the printables and helping me come up with the wording with food ideas. She created stickers for the 'creative juice' Juicy Juices boxes and I wrapped them with construction paper to create a rainbow effect. Jen also did the 'Happy Birthday Merritt' water bottle labels. Check out her website <a href="http://www.jenloves.com/" target="_blank">JenLoves</a></div>

The four circles on the 'paint palette' invite are from Merritt's past four birthday parties - Pinkalicious, Luau, Dr. Suess, and Art.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The night before Easter we had some fun preparing for the Easter Bunny's arrival...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We wrote him a sweet note and left him some carrots by the front door just in case all that hopping made him hungry for a snack.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we had some fun with a glow-in-the-dark Easter Egg Hunt. I put the LED lights {they look like fake candles} in some large eggs and hid them around the yard.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Merritt had a lot of fun collecting the eggs until she realized there was no candy in them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well maybe next year!</div>

The Easter Bunny hopped on over to our house on Easter morning and left lots of treats for the little people! And a few footprints too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are their Easter Baskets; hers filled with books, stamps & stickers, and some seeds to plant flowers. His had a carrot baseball bat & ball, a book, and plastic eggs to throw and chase after!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After getting dressed, she opened her basket to see what the Bunny had brought for her. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it was time for the duo to go hunting, egg hunting that is!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ross really enjoyed himself. He watched as Merritt went looking for eggs and then when her Bunny Basket was full, she would dump them out next to him. He tried his best to chew on them, but once he had slobbered on them, those eggs get a little slippery!</div>

I love the Bunny Basket Merritt made at school from a millk jug! It was so easy for her to carry.</div>

The Little Man is EIGHT months today! And we celebrated in true baby style... playing, eating, {the thing that comes after eating}, and in bed by 7 pm. It seems like this month I have seen the greatest amount of change with little man.
<div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VHuWznyHoSs/T3JTSsdiPOI/AAAAAAAABhQ/Nh1A-Wcse5o/s1600/8%2Bmonths%2B004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724729656979111138" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VHuWznyHoSs/T3JTSsdiPOI/AAAAAAAABhQ/Nh1A-Wcse5o/s320/8%2Bmonths%2B004.jpg" /></a> And maybe this is why.... Mommies lock up your daughters... we have a crawler! One day I sat him down and when I came to check on him a few moments later; yep, he was on the other side of the room. So time for baby proofing and putting eveything out of reach. Merritt has taken this the hardest because now he can go get her toys {she's not a fan of the accomplishments that Ross has mastered}.

My boy is no longer a vampire which is nice, the upper middles have broken through and are getting used quite a bit! I am no fortune teller but I can see that in the future this boy is going to eat us out of home! This month we added applesauce, cantaloupe, tahini, cottage cheese, and yogurt to his diet. There is no food he has said 'No thank you' to.

He is most unhappiest when he is on his back, which explains the look above {almost like a turtle that has gotten flipped over on its shell}.

Here is a pic of the little people's fun room. I am super excited about how it has turned out so far! We spend the majority of our time in this room, so it was a priority since moving in last October.
I found the rug in December at Target and it was the perfect combination of learning and colors. It was really hard for me when deciding on a theme not to go animal print, aqua, and hot pink since we have the little man and I didn't figure he would appreciate it as much as his sister and I would.

Our playroom has been inspired by these Pinterest pins:
<div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gXVMuzynf1w/T2aDpz8NBdI/AAAAAAAABe8/-C01z9SmS80/s1600/chicken%2Bwire%2Bframe.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 255px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721405130961389010" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gXVMuzynf1w/T2aDpz8NBdI/AAAAAAAABe8/-C01z9SmS80/s320/chicken%2Bwire%2Bframe.jpg" /></a>
The chicken wire frames are from <a href="http://www.lemonademakinmama.com/2011/03/come-shop-with-me-this-weekend.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+LemonadeMakinMama+%2528Lemonade+Makin%2527+Mama%2529">lemonademakinmama.com
</a>I used frames I found at Goodwill for $4 a piece, took out the pictures and glass and added sheep wire I got from a friend. The sheep wire actually worked out better for our room because the holes are squares that match the rug.

The shelves from Ikea were ideas from <a href="http://www.dplusmeblog.com/?p=131">dplusmeblog.com</a> They are the perfect height for Merritt and I put books based on the theme from Mommy School, an upcoming holiday, or what she is working on at school.

<div>And lastly, our magnets now make their home on this oil drip pan and NOT on our refrigerator! Yay! The drip pan was found at Wal-Mart for $10. I wanted to add my cutie to the post so I put her instead of the inspiration photo.

They were so excited to pick strawberries they could barely sit still long enough for the mamarazzi to snap a couple of pics.

My sweet girl doesn't like to eat strawberries {they have seeds} but she loves to pick them for her strawberry-lovin' mom. Everytime she bent down to pick one, "Only the red ones, right mom?"

<div>And what better way to end a hard day of berry picking? Eating a strawberry popsicle! Just don't tell her the strawberries in the popsicle have seeds too!</div></div></div></div></div>Livin' on the Edgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04935820404536184907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998418607602851464.post-11695174585977225612012-03-02T20:37:00.004-06:002012-03-02T21:06:31.981-06:00Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8RDgo-Ldh_U/T1GFeVk8u8I/AAAAAAAABYM/gjOoIPjivdA/s1600/dr.%2Bsuess.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715496158344559554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8RDgo-Ldh_U/T1GFeVk8u8I/AAAAAAAABYM/gjOoIPjivdA/s320/dr.%2Bsuess.jpg" /></a> We have been celebrating Dr. Seuss for the past couple of weeks.
