Summer Reflections

Summer is almost over and I thought I would show some of the fun and silly things we have done over the past few months. These are mostly pictures that we have taken randomly throughout the summer that I have not posted or sent out to anyone!

Morgan is growing up so fast and I cannot believe that he is almost two.  He is no longer the little baby that lays in my arms so still and always wants his mommy to hold him.  (Boy do I miss the days before he could walk or talk!! haha)  Now we are facing all kinds of new and fun adventures.  This morning he tt'ed in the potty all by himself.  I was so proud and we did the potty dance!!
I told him the other night that he needed to give me a hug and a kiss because he was only going to live with mommy and daddy for the next 16 years, so we needed to get in as many as we could now (yes we plan to kick him out at 18).  


The first picture is of Morgan and his weekend breakfast ritual.  (Yes!! This is only allowed on the weekends because it is too hard to clean up otherwise!!)  He is so cute and messy!!  You can give him water and he could make a huge mess that would take days to clean up!!  I still find jelly all on his booster seat occasionally.  


The next picture is of him playing in the sprinkler in our front yard.  You really cannot see how wet he is. He loves running through the sprinklers and trying to splash everyone. He also gets in trouble some times for trying to step on the sprinkler heads and push them back into the ground. Boys will be boys! ( Just shows how he wants to figure out how things work.) I always feel guilty wasting water to hydrate an artificial ecosystem that is not meant to be, but if I am going to let Morgan play in the water I might as well kill two birds with one stone.  



The one with stickers on his face is from one day when we had "sticker-pox".  Morgan, Ben and I all had our turn at having stickers all over us.  Morgan would take stickers of the sheet and put them all over Ben and me. He put them all over our arms and our faces and pretended that they were "bo-bo's". Then he would ever so gently (more like rip!) them off and make us all better. Who knows maybe he will be a doctor some day! (You know the REAL kind! Not the PhD kind. haha) He has such a great imagination!! 



The next picture I debated as to weather I should even put up because I look so bad!!  We had just gotten out of the pool and look like drowned rats!!  Morgan was playing super hero!! The blue gel pack normally reserved for headaches was his mask! He could barely see out of it and it kept falling off his little head. He also had a towel for a cape but by the time we got out the camera we had already thrown it in the laundry.  He is such a cutie!! He loves posing for pictures!!



The last picture is of us at the park here in town feeding the ducks!  Morgan loves animals and has no fear of anything (this is good and bad).  He will hold a piece of bread or goldfish cracker (whichever we remembered to bring) and let the goose eat it out of his hand!! He loves the park and being outside.  I just wish it was not so HOT here all the time.  We don't get to do nearly enough things outside as we should.  

Sizzlin' Summer with my Sweet Boy!!
