Abuelita Rita's Birthday

We took my mom out for her birthday yesterday. We all had a lot of fun, but I forgot my camera. I did sneak these pictures with my cell phone. Happy 54th Birthday, Mom!

Guess Who's Walking!!!

Michael has been taking steps for a while, but he really started walking on Thursday!! He's walking about 80% of the time now. I can't get used to seeing him toddle around. WE HAVE A TODDLER!!!! Here are some videos:

The sad demise of "Goodnight Moon"

We have a pretty standard bedtime routine; Sippy, Bath, Book and Bed. I start the routine by stripping Michael nakey in his bedroom, then he crawls at top speed into the bathroom where Jaime is drawing the bath.

So Tuesday night the routine was pretty normal, except Jaime came into Michael's bedroom to talk to me, affording Michael some time to play nakey. He goes to his bookself, pulls out Goodnight Moon (his favorite, which we read every night) and proceeds to "read" it. I mentioned to Jaime how cute it was, and about a minute later pick him up and proceed with the routine.

Fast forward to storytime and I go to grab Goodnight Moon from the floor and it is sopping wet. Apparently what I thought was a quick read was a quick potty break. I noticed him standing at the bookshelf with the book on the floor, so he must have great aim.

Anyway, I let the book air out, even though Michael still wanted me to read it, pee on or not. It's pretty beat up and I have to pick up a new copy this weekend.

Goodnight book, you have served us well.

Doesn't everyone wear shorts on their heads?

Michael was being silly today, so I had to record it for posterity.

After the rain...

We had horrible storms today with torrential downpours, thunder, lighting and nickle sized hail. After the 3rd storm, the sun came out around 7:30 and I saw 2 rainbows in the horizon from our backyard. I've never seen 2 before and they were beautiful!
