Cheap Entertainment

It's a long weekend, the kids are bored, why not send the dogs outside and taunt them from the inside! The baby was happy! Im pretty sure his first word will be dog. Remy's was Coco!! When asked to say Mama, Shane stares and blinks. Otherwise we think he speaks Chinese.

Many firsts!

What a wild and crazy few weeks we have had. Danny started off the month in Chicago for work. We welcomed him home at Bubbie's birthday dinner! Happy Birthday Bubbie! Then we celebrated Mother's Day with family, and Danny's birthday with great friends!! Happy Birthday Danny! We spent some time with our NC friends the Baxter's and spent at Saturday at Remy's school with tons of friends at the Spring Fling Carnival!

Shane celebrated a few exciting firsts! Shane and his friend Leah had their first "date." He took her out for a nice puree and puff dinner, and then froyo for dessert. They shared a little exchange between strollers!

Shane also saw his first baseball game. He saw an entire 5 innings of the Baltimore Orioles vs Washington Nationals at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Shane's favorite part was sitting in his own chair and waving to the people who sat behind us.

Good Night Moon

An old favorite.This video was taken when Shane was first born. I think we are going to start a tradition and have her read this to Shane before he goes to sleep. It most likely wont be in the right order, and he will forever think that "Good Night Stars and Good Night Air" is at the beginning of the story, but its all about the love behind it.

Happy Mother's Day Mama!!

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers out there! If Shane would say mama he would wish you all the same. Unfortunately, he just likes to eat cookies in bed... maybe next Mother's Day!!!

Spring has Sprung

Shane finally got to take a ride on our neighborhood swings! We have been waiting for the rain to clear, and we finally got the perfect day. Remy decided that (although she is too big), she wanted to sit next to him!

In other news, Yin and Yang (Sammie and Coconut) turn another year older and crankier!!! Sammie turned 10 on 4/25/11 and Coco is looking at the big 11 in June.

Kaka meet CaCa!

She may not have scored, and she may have gone in the wrong direction at the end, but she stayed in control of the purple ball, and didnt touch it with her hands! We are proud soccer parents!

The Thrilling Threes!!!

What fun to look back on a year in blogging!! Remy turned 3 on March 8th which also wraps up our first year of blogging! We celebrated Remy's 3rd birthday in high style with a family party at our home followed by a "kids" party at Bounce U. I highlight the word "kids" because I believe there were more adults going down the giant slide than kids! Fun was had by all, and it will be a birthday we will never forget! Remy and Shane visited the pediatrician for a 3 year (Remy) and 9 month (Shane) checkup. Remy is now 41lbs and 40inches tall. Shane is a whopping 18.12lbs and 29 inches tall! That would be 24% for weight, and 75% for height. He is also in the 90% for head! So he looks like a skinny bobblehead! We were happy to report to the doctor that Remy knows her colors and shapes and can successfully play Memory on the Ipad. Shane can clap, show you "how big" he is, wave bye bye, and now give a high five.

To wrap up the month, Remy had a minor procedure to put tubes in her ears. She has had multiple ear infections since Thanksgiving, and although the doctor tried to be conservative, he felt that tubes would be the solution. Remy was a trooper to say the least! Mommy and Daddy showed her the room where the procedure would be done, she took a quick nap, and woke up asking for a pink popsicle!! We were on the playground within 24 hours.
