Big Boy Freddy

Our little boy is growing up way to quick.  He is 18 months old today which does not seem right.  Freddy is finally starting to talk though it is still pretty hard to understand most of what he is saying. 

Currently Freddy loves to play with tools, cars, and balls.  He also like to ride his tricycle, swing, and simply be outside.

We have started to change Freddy's room from a baby room to a toddler room. 

  Memorial Day weekend mom brought up her carpet shampooer so that I could clean Freddy's carpet really well.  When I went to move his lamp the cement in the base busted so we had to buy him a new light.  We wanted to get something that would be off the floor like we did for Emma's room and Drew found this cute plane light at Menard's.

 Two weeks ago we set up the toddler bed in Freddy's room and he has been sleeping in it without any problem so Sunday Drew and I took the crib down. He really seems to like the toddler bed and stays in bed really well.

Originally I wanted to do his room in Cars however since the light fixture is planes we have decided to go with the theme of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  I figure the redecorating process will happen over time.  We can get him new items for his birthday and for Christmas.

Catching Up - Being Outside

We have been taking full advantage of the nice weather and are outside most night for at least a little while.  Here are some examples of what we have been up to.

 Emma and Freddy having a water fight with our next door neighbors Angel and Timothy.  (5/11/14)  The kids in the neighborhood are having a blast playing with water now that it is warm enough.

 Racing at the Track.  Drew went with the daycare to Community Day at the racetrack.  Emma is the second on the left.  They had great day at the track and the rain held off until they made it back to the daycare. (5/21/14)

 There is a playground not far from our house that I have been wanting to go check out for quite some time.  Mom and Dad were up over Memorial Day weekend and we went and checked out the park before they headed back home.  (5/26/14)  It is a really nice park and we will have to go back again soon.  Freddy LOVED the swing.

Catching up - Food

Not a whole lot has been going on around our house here lately.  Here are some pictures of the kids and what we have been up to.

We were able to get some Roma tomatoes for pretty cheap and decided to make some salsa.  The kids decided that the left over green peppers would make for a good snack.  (5/4/14)

  Meijer had their sweet corn on sale for 10 for $1.00 so we picked up around 80 ears of corn for ourselves, Vince and Mom and Dad.  I told Emma that she could earn some money by helping me shuck the corn.  Freddy decided he needed to get in on the action as well.  (5/17/14)

Drew gave Freddy a thing of yogurt for snack.  When he had enough he decided it was time to play.  Judging by the mess he made I would have to say he had a really good time.  (5/17/14)

Freddy loves to climb and today was no different.  He was supposed to be sitting on the chair eating his snack but he decided to sit on the table instead.  When I asked him what he was doing he just gave me a big old grin and then got of the table.  (5/31/14)
