More pics...

we went to nana and papa's for halloween. here are a few pics. bubba wore his costume almost all day, pooks however wore his for a total of maybe 3 minutes...added up over the whole day! he was not being a skunk, that was that, so no more skunk pics :(

bubba however decided that this trick or treating thing was pretty frickin' cool. he did not like when trick or treaters knocked on the door...he hated seeing nana give away candy to whackjobs in costumes. so we decided to take him to a couple houses....he caught on quick! suddenly this was a good idea and he had it down. he would even try to say 'trick or treat' although it came out more like 'it-teet', he did try. he also would say it while knocking (slapping) the door or ringing the bell. then when the person opened the door, he just held up his bucket, got his candy, then said 'thanks' and 'bye guys' while walking off. it was SO SO SO cute! i'm pretty sure he had WAY too much candy for someone his size but its only one day out of the year.

anywho, thats all for the boys. i should get some pics that a graphic artist who works in my dad's building took, i'll update when i can. jim managed to get both boys-smiling-TOGETHER-in one pic. can't wait to get it!!! well, here are a couple i did get:

sharing a sucker with his baby brother:

bubba is a rockstar, he can play with both hands at the sametime, by himself!:
hmm....pooks pretending to be bubba?:

a preview of things to come...

bubba is a monkey
pooks is my lil' stinker, a skunk

a monkey who loves airplanes!

a 'deer in the headlights look' on a skunk?!

skunk vs. monkey....skunk wins!!

pooks and i

Well, as you can see I dug out the boys costumes today. I tried so hard to get a good pic of both boys together, that didn't happen (unless you count the tackle pic, which may have been staged) so we'll have to try again later. I also want to get a pic of the whole family together, but that's easier said that done when you have 2 under 2! especially outside when a certain 'monkey' gets easily distracted by airplanes and you live in the 'air capital of the world (off topic, but is that even something to brag about?!). anywho, i'm sure that there will be more Halloween pics to come. i still have to capture my monkey long enough to get a picture of us together!

he POOPED in the potty!!

i know, this may be tmi but i don't care. its my blog and i'll share what i want! :) haha...

but he did do it! bubba went #2 in the potty last night! day two of potty training and he went #1 8times yesterday (YAY!!!) and #2 once in his little elmo potty. i even took a picture of him standing by the potty with his poop...but i haven't posted it. i dont know about posting poop pics on the internet. lol.

i do have a non-disgusting, somewhat funny potty story. yesterday he pee'd in the potty, he got 5 m&ms for going and was pumped. well, since he JUST went i put him in his little boxer briefs (that are super cute btw!). i'm on the phone with my mom and she says ''take a pic to post on your blog'', well i get the camera, come back and he is standing by the sliding glass door, watching the dogs. well, there's this wet spot all on the floor. so i say ''did you go potty? No...you just went, it must be water or something." (we do have 2 dogs!) to my mom. well i clean up the water, turn around to take his pic and his boxers were soaked! IT WAS PEE!! so needless to say, i put him back in a diaper, washed my hands, cleaned the floor with lysol, washed my hands again and listened to my mom laugh her head off!

lesson learned: don't let a little boy stand in just boxers, in front of a cool draft

proud momma day!!

i love my kids.

they are growing up SO flipping fast! pooks is on solids now, slowly but surely. so far he has loved everything he's tried. cereal, bananas, pears, and even PEAS! tonight he tried it, and he liked it...a whole jar of it! he's also now able to stay sitting up if you sit him. obviously he's can't sit all by himself but he is sitting. so that deserves a YAY POOKS!!!

now onto bubba's 'i make mommy proud' moment. HE USED THE POTTY 5 TIMES TODAY! we just started introducing it yesterday. we try to get him to use it before and after his bath. well, last night he peed before and after his bath! that was impressive but today was way better. he went this morning, and he prompted it. i was doing my make up and peeing, when he started to sit on it, so i took off his diaper. he pee'd and earned himself a handful of m&m's. then later we were at my mother-in-law's house and he started grabbing the front of his diaper. so i rushed him to the bathroom and he went, in the big potty! he then went 3 more times tonight!! i am so excited its not even funny! i am **beaming**!!!!

here are the pics:

bubba eating his oatmeal this morning!

pooks eating oatmeal this morning!

pooks sitting up and making faces at mommy!

sitting up playing with his brother!

So proud to use his potty! he even gave elmo a high-5! ''mom, seriously i'm trying to eat my peas''

i love peas!

pooks tackled him yesterday!
got 'em again today!

Thanks for looking!!

well, i guess i had too many pics to add these to my other post, but here are the rest of the pictures from this weekend :)
