Funny Story

Today I was having a rough time getting Lee to stay in his bed. He kept getting out and going in my room to "play". One time I went up there and he had emptied my chap stick. I asked him where it all went and his reply was "oh, cheeks, lotion". He had rubbed the WHOLE chap stick on his checks. They smelled like cherries the rest of the evening!

Crazy kid!

Out To Dinner!

Lee and I went and helped my friend Amy and her little daughter tonight and then went out to dinner. Lee is big on making his own choices now for what he wants to eat. So this is what happened.

Me: Lee, would you like a hot dog or Mac N Cheese for dinner?

Lee: Ummm, Hot Gogg

Me: Ok, but Maple is getting Mac N Cheese are you sure you don't want that?

Lee: No, Hot Gogg

Me: Ok, sounds good

(About 20 minutes later after Lee got his hot dog and Maple has her Mac N Cheese)
Lee: (takes bite of hot dog, then spits it into my hand) Yucky, no like it!

Me: What? You wanted a hot dog?

Lee: No hot gogg, yucky, I Mac N Cheese?

So, what do you do?? He eats hot dogs just about every other day. I know that he LOVES them, which is why I didn't argue when he wanted one. Everyday I'm just astonished at what he says. Today seemed like it was one of those days where he woke up and was talking everything he wanted. It's crazy how fast he learns. I've never heard him say "no like it". He says yucky all the time, but not the no like it part. He just cracks me up!

Here's a picture from last week of Maple and Lee at Brookfield Zoo. She just turned 3 in March.

A favorite body part!

Lee has been infatuated with a certain body part lately. For instance, his ear. If you ask him where his ears are he will point to them right away. If you ask him where his nose, eyes, mouth or head is, he will pause and then excitedly point to his ears. That's all he cares about.

Taking after Sara!

If you ever call us and we don't answer, this could be the reason!


Lee loves to walk around the house playing with the phone. He likes all the noises it makes. Notice how he says "hello" when he puts the phone on his shoulder.

Misc. Lee - 11 months old

Steve's been out of town for the last few weeks only home for a few days here and there. I've been posting videos of Lee for him because he misses him. Here's a few more.

Nobody will probably enjoy these except us, because they are rather boring... sorry. It was mainly for Steve. Lee moving his new truck around from Grandpa and Grandma Shoes. Also you can see him take his toys and throw them around.




Video of Lee "helping me" with laundry. His arms weren't long enough or strong enough to put some of the clothes back in the basket so he would just take more out.

The little flirt!

Yesterday I met with a friend and her two kids at our mall. We decided to let our kids run around the play area so we could talk. This is my new obsession since Lee isn't walking yet. I like the park, but he gets so dirty and everything goes in his mouth. So the play area is safer. I go as much as possible, because it's safe and clean and he has a blast.

Yesterday was the first day that there was a little girl his age there. She was SO cute. She had the longest black hair in pig tails. SO ADORABLE! Anyways, she was crawling around and Lee went full speed toward her. She sat up and watched him (I'm pretty sure half scared) to see what he was doing. I jumped up and ran up behind him just in case he decided to bite her. He's big on biting everything and anything lately.

So, he stops right in front of her and leaned in with his mouth wide open and slobbered/kissed her on the mouth. It was the cutest thing! Now, I will not be saying this when he's 16, however at almost 11 months old, it's adorable. The little girls mom thought so too, because she whipped out her camera so fast and took a picture. She goes, "that was her first kiss!". After about 30 minutes of Lee following her around and chasing her she went crawling to her Mom crying. Her Mom picked her up laughing and said something to Lee. I wasn't sure what it was, but he just sat there with his finger in his mouth and the expression on his face like "Hey, I wasn't done playing with her yet. Put her down!".

Waiting for Daddy!

Lee had his first bad dream tonight, at least that's what I think it was. He was babbaling in his sleep (something that he does most nights) and then he started this high pitched screaming. I went in his room and he was crying so hard and shaking. Is that normal? Now I can't get back to sleep.

Well, onto a more happier subject. Lee and I agree that you should do whatever you like, even if it means wearing a bucket on your head!



Below is the cutest picture, I just love it. Steve had just walked in the door from work and the dogs ran over. Lee looked really quick to see what was going on and scrambled over to Daddy as fast as he could get there. Then they all sat there waiting for him to "pet & pay attention" to them.


And this would be Steve trying to get to Lee, and the dogs fighting for attention.

Have a good Wednesday!!

Sleeping Arrangement

How on earth can anyone fall asleep like this? He is sound asleep and snoring while I took this picture. Afterward, I repositioned him to a more... um... normal sleeping position.

Why?

Lee thinks it absolutely hillarious that he will be giving me a heart attack at any moment. He has the courage of a monkey and the balance of an elephant. Why must he be pulling up on EVERYTHING in site? When ever he falls, he cries for about 2 minutes and then he's back to doing it again, looking over at me, smiling the whole stinkin time.

Happy Boy!

Steve was cracking Lee up right before bed. He was laughing at everything, so I decided to go grab the camera. Here's our happy boy ;0)
