Isn't it great when something as simple as a plastic container and cotton balls can keep your baby entertained?

The other day my little man complained about wearing his shirt.  He tugged and it and cried until I finally agreed to just let him take it off.   He enjoyed his shirt much more on his head.

He was being so silly the whole night.  When his daddy got out a big light to try and find the back of my earring, little man followed the light around and laughed.  He's like a cat! (although cats don't really laugh...)

We had our first big winter storm over the weekend.  It began snowing Friday morning...

...and the snow didn't stop until Saturday morning. 

As you already know, we aren't big winter people.  But I had to admit that the scene Saturday morning was breathtaking. 

Little man, on the other hand, still isn't impressed.

Today I found my little man making some very lovely art....with a pen...on our wall...

Bless his heart.  He has Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser to thank for the fact he's not grounded for life!!! 

While I was scrubbing the wall, little man kept pointing to his art and saying "uh uh uh!"  Yes, son, it would have been nice if you'd told yourself that BEFORE you made the drawing!!!  Oh, his toddler years are going to keep me on my toes.

My baby is so skinny (we took him to the doctor the other day and he's only in the 10th percentile for weight and height!!!) that sometimes his pants fall down.  The other day, his daddy took advantage of that to give him a new look.

Introducing little gangsta baby:

I love that kid.  And his dad.  :)

My sweet little man still loves spending time outside.  I'm so grateful that the weather has been good enough for us to enjoy the outdoors without freezing. 

And I love the sights we can see right outside our house!

My happy baby, of course, being the best sight of all.  :)

I've come across a problem.  Remember how I made some fun peanut butter play dough for my baby?  He realized quickly that this play dough was delicious.  I got it out for him to play with the other day and instead of playing, he began eating it...like an apple.  Now what?!

Little man hit 18 months on Friday.  I should have posted this then, but forgot.  Silly me!  Look how much he's grown though.  He's getting so big!

The last few days I've been putting a lot of effort into cleaning up the backyard, which is full of leaves.

Little man was a big helper.  ;)

The piles we have now have been great fun for everyone.  :)

Even though little man was confused, he enjoyed Halloween.  We started the day with ghost pancakes

then little man took some time to hang out with the neighbor's cool "cooks".

But honestly his favorite part was helping his Nana pass out candy at her house.  Whenever the doorbell rang, little man ran to the door to help.  He would take the candy out of the bowl and carefully put a piece into each bucket and bag.  He's such a darling little man and a big helper!
