Wordless Wednesday- Stormwatching with Super! :)

Keeping Up With Kal-el- February :)

 My first baby boy  will be 3 in less than a month. He gets, smarter, funnier, and more loved by the day. Like always I'm sure I'll leave some stuff out but I want to recall as much as I can and share :)

- Kal-el is 100% potty trained. Once we started he never looked back. He even places the potty seat over the larger one by himself. As a matter of fact he's so independent he does everything by himself when he's there..Chris and I aren't even allowed in the room or even allowed to pick out his underwear!


- He takes Superhero vitamins everyday (how appropriate right?) except he doesn't call them vitamins...he refers to them as "ornaments". He started taking them right after Christmas. They are round, kind of sparkly on the outside so I see where he gets this...its pretty cute.

- He also LOVES Superheros now : He's favorite is probably Batman at the moment. Superman and Green Lantern are a close second! It's unreal how many of their names he knows. I couldn't be more proud lol!


- He's doing lots of pretend play now...mainly with Pluto :) He always asks him what he wants to eat or drink and replies for him. I've noticed a trend...if its especially yummy food Pluto will often say "No fanks" LOL


-He also loves to pretend to take my order. He always asks "You need a diet coke Mommy?"


- When Chris leaves for work Super gets mad now..he will often ask him to "wait" or say "don't put on shoes Daddy, no train" its pitiful. He will even refuse to hug or kiss his Daddy bye. But every time he finally makes his way to the door and down the drive way...without fail....Kal-el stares at his trunk out the window and sweetly says "Bye bye Daddy, Kal-el see you later" and then blows a kiss out the window.


-He is more loving and interacting than ever with Logan. He's super encouraging when Logan makes crawling attempts. He tells him things like "Good job Logan...yay Logan" and pats his head or smiles sweetly at him <3


- Super also likes to help dress Logan and pick out which baby food he eats every night. Sometimes he demands to feed his little brother.  Luckily, he usually gets bored after a few bites and ask me to finish feeding him. He also HAS to prepare his bottles for him. His favorite part is shaking the bottle. :)


- He may look more like Chris but Kal-el is me made over. We have the same personality. He is so passionate, strong willed, and neurotic. I have zero questions where that combo comes from lol.


-He's so smart. He knows all of his shapes. We were driving one day and he informed me that the object I was inquiring about was NOT a stop sign but an octagon. We've only shown him shapes on our phones maybe three times. He picks up so fast on new things.


- His level on mischievousness is at an all time high. We sometimes feel like we are raising Dennis the Menace! He loves to squirt water on Chris with his bath toys when he's sleeping and even tries to color on our faces with crayons. If we wake up and seem upset about it ..He starts patting us and says "Aww its ok Mommy/Daddy" Its hard to decide whether to scold him or laugh at times because he's theatrical and fun loving.


- He loves to take things apart and see how they work. If he finds a random or strange looking object he always asks me "Where that come from Mommy?"


- He LOVES girls. Alot lol....Whenever their are women of tv that he likes he always says "Hey pretty gurls or hi Mommies" Adorable !

- He's a dare devil. Everything is a slide or something to stack and jump off of. True boy. He's fearless and I often how many bones of his might just end up in a sling or cast on day.

-He's very compassionate about others "boo boos" I cut my finger one day last week and he immediately started asking if I was ok...followed by finding me a band-aide and some antibiotic cream. Sweet baby.

These last two stories are my favorite from this month :
 - Kal-el and I were watching the Westminster dog show last week. Super was counting the dogs as they came across the screen and cheering them on. He got quiet at one point and I could tell he was thinking. He then declared " Ginger beat up all dogs" Ginger is our only female dog. She's a golden retriever mixed breed. She's very protective of home, is easily agitated by other animals, and wishes she was an only dog. She is very much loved but because of her slightly robust attitude she is sometimes the center of jokes. Without thinking I laughed and made an off the cuff remark..."yep Ginger probably would beat those pretty dogs up she's trashy" Kal-el took such joy in me saying this..even though he had no clue I was being rude. He started proclaiming "Aww hey Ginger trash" He thinks its a term of endearment. The other night he kissed Pluto before bed and I heard him tell his plush best friend..."I love Pluto, Pluto trash" Hilarius :)

- Kal-el was getting ready for church this past Sunday...half naked and standing in front of the mirror smiling and flexing..unaware anyone was watching..
Kal-el : singing "I cute I cute I SOOOOO CUUUUUTEEE"
Me: Son thats not very modest of you.
K: "I'm not modest ..I cuuuuuuuute." "I shake my booty now..go away"
LOL

I love my Superman :)
 

Wordless Wednesday- Lunch at the Box Car :)

Operation SpongeBob Take 1

  Yesterday Mom, Larry, the boys and I made a trip to Huntsville to visit Party City! We went in search of a Sponge Bob costume for Larry. We had no such luck in that department but I did manage to score in two other areas. We got to meet up with my best friend Beth for lunch at Macaroni Grill. She is over 5 months pregnant with Zoey and looks so adorable :) After lunch we headed off to Party City. I LOVE party planning. Buying all the character merchandise is the easy part. Definitely not the cheap part but the easiest. I literally wiped out the Sponge Bob isle. We had tons of fun. I was piling so much stuff in the cart left and right and not really stopping to add everything up that I went way over budget and almost passed out as the cashier was ringing me up. In a way I'm glad I got it out of the way because it had to be bought regardless and my only other major purchases left is my cake stand. Chris had to work yesterday. It may of been a little much for him to deal with anyway ;) And I bet Etsy gets permanently blocked from our computer after this year. It's almost exactly one month remaining until its party time and I have it on the brain. This is so sad....I hate to even share it but I literally had a nightmare last night that we were headed to the facility about 5 cars deep FILLED with party decor lol( the cars filled part will be a reality, I hope my family members will pick up their phones after reading this haha) and we were locked out of the facility. Pathetic I know but I was SO  upset. Speaking of my sweet family I'm hoping we can have a craft night soon to knock out some of the DIY projects. I have cupcake stands and picture frames to paint and a huge backboard for the cake table to work on and find fabric for. I have a lot of work cut out for me and a month and a few days to get it done. No pressure :) At least I will have a good 5 weeks to transition from the yellow sponge to a big furry hungry beast with unstable eyes who worships cookies. Logan's cookie monster party is up next but in the mean time the Sponge Bob theme song will play over and over in my head! 

                              Yummy lunch with Beth!

                             Super loves their bread aka Rosemary loaf lol

                                 I mean really loves it!

                            Going crazy at the party store :)

                            A tired SpongeBob headed home :)

Logan is 8 Months Old!

   My sweet face, always smiling, two teeth sporting little man is 8 months old today! He's growing up right before our eyes. He's playing, learning, and interacting with us more with each passing day. The most notable development this month would have to be baby food! He's finally ALL about it. I knew if he ever gave it a really chance there would be no pulling it away from him. One evening he decided..."I really like this ALOT" Now every evening at 5'oclock..my sweet temperated baby who literally never cries will at least let out a small whimper at exactly 5pm if his mushy delight is not sitting on a spoon heading towards his little mouth! He easily takes 2.5 cans and I honestly think he'd go for more if I'd let him! Some notable favorites : Peach cobbler (umm great new flava..yea who wouldn't like that), pears, apples, bananas, mixed fruits, corn, squash, and sweet potatoes. Notice their all a little sweet. He despises green beans and the meats esp the ham but again who wouldn't. I gag when I open them lol! His other big food related development is that he now holds his own bottle. He went from not holding it all to COMPLETELY holding it by himself!
  He's still on his way to crawling. Not much new in his progress there but he's doing the all fours and rocking business so I know he's going to break into a crawl any day now. He still adores Kal-el. His entire face lights up when he looks at him. I catch him staring at Super often. Kal-el has gotten really loving towards him and pats him and smiles back sweetly at him. This is heart melting to a mommy! It's surreal to think that in four months from now our BABY will be a ONE YEAR old. I can't wait to see what is toddler years have in store for us. Happy 8 months baby Logan. We love you!
