Playing ball

How fun to be approaching the days of throwing the ball around with daddy. Leo demanded to know the contents of a box in our storage closet. He hit the jackpot when he found his dad's old gloves and baseballs as well as his Djedo's little league cap. He just had to wear that baseball cap which is hilarious since he has refused to wear any other hat in his 2 years of life.

My little chef

My little sweetheart made me a cake for my birthday with his Ceecee. He even tested it out for me and helped blow out the candle. He was so proud. As was I. 

"Oh no!" - Leo's version of the song "Slippery Fish"

Leo rarely acknowledges Dean's existence throughout the day. However, he is always concerned for Dean's well being. When Dean wakes from a nap, Leo tells me "get 'im". When Dean is crying, Leo tells me "hode (hold) 'im", "rock 'im" or "feed 'im". Thanks goodness one person know what to do around here. Although, my favorite is when we get in the car and I don't have Dean. Leo gets very concerned and wants to know where he is. As if I accidentally left him in the house. It is very sweet. But now I am thinking maybe I should be offended. Ha.

Well this morning Leo decided he was going to lift his ban on interacting with Dean and serenade him a bit. An adorable moment we of course captured on film to share with you all. Enjoy!

I'm a Big Kid Now

First night in a big boy bed. We set up Leo's twin bed while he spent the night out with his Ceecee and Djedo. When we got back tonight he let us know that he wanted to sleep there instead of the crib. And that was it. He climbed in, we didn't hear a peep and as you can see he is completely passed out. 

It is bittersweet. I can't believe my little boy is out of his crib but I am so proud of how independent he is becoming. We can have conversations and reason with him now. It is not such a guessing game anymore. 

Now as long as I am not awoken by the feeling of little eyes staring at me in my sleep, we will consider it a success. Wish us luck!

Little Builder

Leo LOVES his tools right now. Definitely his favorite toy. He is always trying to fix things around the house that he thinks are broken. Even yesterday he told me he was going to fix my hair with his wrench and his screwdriver. Thanks a lot Leo. 

I thought I would throw a picture of dad rockin' the toolbelt as well for your viewing pleasure.
