Our Little Junebug

June has flown by. I can't believe it will be July by the end of this week! I'm trying to not have the "mental countdown" going until school starts, like last year (I cried every single day at the thought of leaving Reid in just a few weeks), but to be greatly thankful for the time off that I can spend with him. Here are some of the things we have done so far this summer.

"Pleeeease, Mom...can we go to Italy?" Reid loves to fling magazines off of the coffee table. I have had to rethink my childproofing and put LOTS of things away for now, but I don't want him to think everything is off limits, so he gets by with that...



"What?? I need a haircut? And Daddy's gonna do it??" (and please note the onesy 'Hello, I'm Mr. Adorable'...couldn't pass that one up at Target last year!)



Oh, and Mommy's favorite (do you sense the sarcasm?)... Throwing food! Of all things, he managed to get a hold of an entire container of prunes, which ended up all over the floor, the tile, the fridge...you get the picture. Senor El Pruno:


And his mess! (No the carpet did not clean up well. Looks like our first casualty ala baby.)


Sporting the new haircut


And who could forget about all the cat terrorization? Reid is becoming a master of annoying Dixie. She just stands her ground and hisses (thank goodness for declawing!) Jason discovered that Reid has been saying their names (and we're not sure how long he's done this because Dixie is "Di" or "Dix" and Samson is "Sa" or "Sas") Here's what Samson does...and we're pretty sure he actually enjoys the torture.



And his newest trick? He can't walk yet, but he taught himself how to do the stairs! I showed him (one time) how to put his leg up onto the next step, and he was off! I couldn't believe how fast he went the very first day--tried to film it, but it was hard to do one handed so I had to wait for a day where Jason was home. I have tried to upload it for three days, but it won't :(
