My little red head!!!

I cannot believe how big little Murphy is getting. He is trying so hard to walk... taking about 2 steps and just sitting on his bumb! I have started getting lazy and just dishing out a little food on the bar and letting him have a "free for all." He likes his Independence. This was after Mac and Cheese... he was filthy... I wish I could have taken a picture of the surrounding area because it was MMMMMEEEESSSSSYYYYY! So... I stripped him and stuck him in the sink.

He loves his "sink bathes." I also enjoy them because it gives me the time to clean up while he is splish splashin' in the sink! I thought this picture was funny... he just sat and watched the water drain... it kinda looks like he is playing with himself but oh no.... not one of my boys... he is simply trying to catch the water before it gets ALL the way down the drain!

Here is a big boy picture in his big boy pjs (thanks Carrie). I have been putting a few of Mays and Gwire's pjs on him and strangely they fit!! I took all 3 of them to the doc this week and both the boys (Mays and Gwy) weighed 29 lbs and Murphy came in at 22. I wonder how long it will be before he catches up. How awesome... 3 boys in the same size!

Is it true??? Could my little Mayser FINALLY be going potty on his own??? NOT A FLIPPIN CHANCE!!! I think he might poop in his pants until he is old enough to wear depends! He is a stink!!! Want's NOTHING to do with it!!! Even tried the infamous potty watch... hates to wear it! I guess we will put the singin potty chair away for awhile until he puts his game face on and gets serious!!!

I really never thought I would be the "scenic" type but I love the colors in the sky. I wish I had a kick A camera that could really capture the beauty but for now this will do... this is from the back porch. I LOVED the pink!!!

Last but not least.... finished the wall in the formal dining... are you ready:

Clock - Rod Works Clearance $10
Vase - Family Dollar $2
Candle Holders - Christmas Items at Roberts 90% off $1.90 and $2.40
Shelf - Roberts 50% off - painted it myself $8
Candle Sconces - Rod Works Clearance $3.50 each
Valentines "Stuff" - Roberts 35% off - Thinking the total was about $12 (or maybe a couple $s more)
So for all of you laughing because you know how stinkin cheap I am... I feel like I did a pretty good job!!!

That one candle is a little crooked now that I look at it on the picture. I will go fix it right this moment! Oh ya, I did buy some of my fun little beady stuff in RED to put around the candles!!! I am a dork but crazy enough... I am not shopping for shoes or clothes any longer... as Eric would say I am now into "**** for the Walls!!!" Good night... or good morning! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

It is so nice to have the boys in the same sized clothing...so easy! My 39 pound giants are only different by 2 inches!
And potty training...the WORST thing! Parker likes to go on his own time so I am just not stressing about it. But, we did the naked all day thing for 3 dasya nd it really did work! Of course, I have been a little busy/lazy and letting it all go! But..he may really be in depends since he is in the largest sized diaper! ;0)

Holy crap that baby is a doll face...the middle pic is like pure peacefulness. Love him. Love all of them actually! I'm so in love with those candlesticks on the wall...they kinda remind me of vintage depression glass that my mom had. Awesome. Ok...so have a fun "Gitter" toes party!!! Love your guts, Em

I can't wait to see your house again with all the decor added. I bet our babies weight the same, I take her to the doc monday for her 9 month shots (I know she is 10 months but I forgot).

I love great deals- just lack great stores! Your home is gorgeous! I love all of the beautiful decorations! That is so crazy that your boys are so close in thier weight! My oldest two are 14 mo. apart and couldn't have more different body types! I am so glad that you are enjoying your house and are so happy!
