Dryer

I think that at some point every kid has to do this but Troy surprised us. It was a Saturday afternoon and a little too quite so I ask Josh to look for Troy and this is where he found him. It seems like Hailey didn't do this until she was like 18 months. Troy loves playing in there and takes any opportunity he can to get in there but it's a little scary watching him try to get out. This is like the bathroom, we always have to keep the door shut or he'll get into trouble. His favorite is swirling his hand in the toilet bowl water! He's a sweet boy with lots of personality!



Hailey wanted to get in on the fun too! Sweet kiddos!

Water

Troy just discovered the hose! It is the cutest thing. Anytime Hailey goes out side he bolts for the door because he loves everything out side. I cleverly thought to have them sit in this little lid as a make shift pool but now they love it they want to fill it up all the time. That definitely shows me it is time to buy a little pool for them to play in.




Hailey and Troy sharing snacks. One of those moments where for just a few minutes... perfect harmony. Both where so content eating and sharing their snacks. I love it!!

Funny sleeping

Hailey has been getting up at 6 to 6:30 every day. She will not take a nap and usually goes to bed at a reasonable time but this earlier wake up time thanks to the bright sun is wearing her out. So I'm realize that I'm never quite sure when she will surprise me next with her random act of sleep. I think it's funny that one this that my dad would say was if you lay still for long enough you'll fall asleep, that is very true for Hailey.

Boxes

Josh loves how much kids love playing in boxes. He always says, "Why do we even buy toys? Kids like playing in boxes more." There definitely is a lot of truth to that. This box was so much fun and then we cut holes for windows and it became a whole new one. Then Hailey tore one side from the window down and it became a door! It's been like a week and a half and she's still loving it. She calls it her party. Lately she has been asking me to not put Troy down for a rest because she want him to come to the party!

Getting warmer

Okay so I just thought it was so cute of Troy all covered in Spaghetti. It was his first time eating it, so Hailey of course was like please take a picture of me too. I think she has the cutest smile but it's hard to catch it. If I tell her to smile I usually get a fake one. I'm sure she's thinking hurry up and take it already mom. These two sure keep me busy!



Josh is putting his heart and soul into our grass which we absolutely love. So he was aerating it while the sprinklers were going and brave Troy followed him into the water and loved it. He crawled all over. It was very cute!
I've been wanting to get a cute tub shot. For the longest time it was the most stressful thing to throw them both in the tub together but it's getting better. Bath times are definitely getting shorter.

Another random thing when I go in to get Troy up from naps or in the morning he give's me a hug. He will squeeze and pat me. He also squeals or bounces. I love it!! It just melts me every time!

Surgery Again?

Okay so it sounds scarier then it is but Troy had tubes put in his ears on Friday April 30th. This was after a series of four ear infections, one of which he ear drum ruptured. We were in the Doctor's office about every two weeks trying out a different antibiotic. It was a tough choice to make but we felt like this was the right one! Troy is up to 24 pounds now, please slow down a bit Troy we're going through clothes too fast! With this surgery they did put him under using gas and gave him a medicine to help relax him (it worked so well!). He definitely work up much more mad this time but other then that not too bad! I also wish I had my nurse from last time I saw her there but she wasn't my nurse this time! It can make such a big difference! Troy is such a sweetie! He is such a good sleeper, he's good for two naps a day and pretty much always sleeps through the night. If he does wake up he quickly drinks a bottle and goes back to sleep. He's pretty excited about crawling and cruising although it get him into trouble a lot. It keeps him pretty entertained. He keeps getting bruises all over his forehead from so many spills but he is getting better at falling in less painful ways. Josh and I are making bets on when he might start walking. He thinks a little sooner and I'm thinking later! It might be in my head but I feel like this surgery has been an improvement to him because he has been crazy vocal the last few days. Mostly saying da-da-da, which of course Josh just loves! Hopefully these tubes help a lot and we see tons of improvement! Before....

One of my favorite nurses!!

Oops, you weren't suppose to see that, Cover up Troy!

Troy all drugged up. I kind of got a kick out of this because I could tell he was so loopy! He was laughing at everything and just spacing out.
Right after surgery.
Going home, Yeah!
Hailey played with Grandma Hakes. She just got back from Hawaii so Hailey had to try her gift on! Thanks for helping us out!

This is so cute!

Troy is obsessed with playing out side! Between our little toy and the swing we got for Easter and one of our neighbors gave us another little slide, he cannot get enough of playing outside. (Such a true boy! Loves the outdoors.) Anytime Hailey leaves the back door, or front door open for that matter, he is out the door as fast as he can. One day just after Josh got home I followed him into our room to talk and just a minute later I go to check on the kids and they were both outside playing. It was so cute I wished I would have gotten a picture of it! I did get some other cute pictures though of Troy trying to get out, and a video. I just love it!



Also here is Hailey taking a nap one day, in the most awkward position! Funny girl!
