Mother's Day and Gramma's Visit

We had a lovely Mother's Day! The boys spoiled me!

How cute is that decoration! It looks just like me and the boys.

Yummy dinner Jeff made.

Axel made this in Primary. It says "My mom is more amazing than Pokemon. She is really good at baking. She is 31 years old. She has blue eyes and brown hair. I love when she cooks me shrimp pasta. She is always telling me to drink my milk. Her favorite color is purple. She likes to kiss me, and is always eating or drinking milk or water. She always laughs when I do funny things. I love her more than Felix. Love, Axel."

Sweet card that Axel made me at school.

Axel "got me breakfast" that morning (Lucky Charms). Only spilled a little bit of milk...

A few fun things from school:

Fun run before...

and after.

Doing the "Robot."

On a field trip.

Fun with shaving cream.

Gramma came for a visit!

She came with me to book group (and took this picture). Here is my book group friends!

Felix and Daddy lounging.

Gramma took Axel to Legoland.

Karate....

...Chop!

Building the Legos Gramma bought.

Modeling the nice shirt Gramma got him.

I couldn't resist these cute sunglasses for Felix.

Selfie time!

Watching Axel get off the bus!

At Axel's baseball game.

We got ice cream after the game.

Nice pictures with Gramma.

Axel after dropping Gramma off at the airport:

Thank you for coming to visit, Gramma!

Late April- Early May

He can stand! Hooray! He can't pull himself up yet, but if you stand him up holding onto something, he can do it!

Green beans were not acceptable this day.

Found Axel entertaining Felix this way one morning.

Swingin' at the park.

First baseball game of 2019!

They hit off the tee for the first few games.

First score of the year.

Happy after the Sharks advanced!

Zoo day was busted by the parking lots being completely full, so we got ice cream and went to a park instead.

There aren't any bucket swings at the park we went to, so we tried out one of these! He thought it was pretty funny.

Playing peekaboo with Daddy's hat.

10 months old! Boy does time fly!

Axel's best friend Meg likes to carry Felix around.

Felix LOVES doors! He is constantly swinging them open and closed, and gets so mad when he accidentally shuts it all the way!

This is how Felix gets around now. Rolling and a weird reaching crawl.

Another funny homework drawing. The prompt was to draw a picture of something that begins with the letter Y.

Sweetest brothers.

Sleepy head!

Sitting on a couch like a big boy!

Crawling after a K-Nex dinosaur Axel made.

Jeff took Axel to free comic day at a local comic shop, and Axel didn't want to take a picture with the X-wing pilots unless Daddy did it first!

First coach-pitch hit!

So happy to play with the soccer ball!

Unfortunately I forgot the sunscreen that day, and we were outside all afternoon for sports... Whoops!

And it got worse as the night wore on!

Rolling around while stuck on his toy.

Somebody wouldn't stop licking the Target cart, so he had to go into baby jail.

So much to say!

Eating a muffin! He ended up eating most of it. I'm trying to give him more and more finger food. So far he is very resistant to slimy things (like pieces of banana) on his hands.

Axel's piece at the school's art show.

Felix was sick one evening and fell asleep on Daddy.

Another day of soccer and baseball. Cutie loved to play peekaboo with his hat!

He looks like such a big boy now!

Me too, kid. Me too.

Daddy bought a chin-up bar to help Axel with his arm strength. The record so far is 12!
