Rain Rain Go Away

We've been cooped up in the house the past couple of days due to rain. Dean has been acting his Terrible Two's with a capital "T". I just spent 30 minutes replacing 22 keys on my keyboard that he ripped off while I was putting Austing to bed upstairs. I still can't get the last one on. He's also been playing in Austin's exersaucer, summer seat & swing. I can't even count how many times I've had to reassemble his train tracks after he's pulled them apart and off of the table. I take them away for a day at a time, but then he always begs and doesn't stop asking for them again. I don't get why he keeps messing them up. Last night he ripped off his diaper while in the kitchen and came over to me as I was feeding Austin in the other room and said "slippery" and you can guess what he had done on the kitchen floor. We practiced sitting on the potty but all he did was cry. I'm not sure why, maybe I was putting too much pressure on him to sit on it, but he certainly doesn't show any interest in sitting on it on his own.

I took a cute video of Austin after he finished eating his cereal. He was cracking up for me when I was saying "boom" but he didn't laugh so much once the camera was turned on. I still think he's cute : )

Austin's first real giggle...

Dean is helping me blog right now. He loves the blog, especially looking at the videos. He always asks "Watch Dean?" He's been such a good big brother, I'm so proud of him. I thought there would be jealousy but there is not at all. I guess it's b/c Austin doesn't want to play with Dean's toys yet...

It was nice to put away the christmas decorations and tree to have less clutter in the house, but now I've got to add clutter with all the baby stuff. Dean's new train table takes up a lot of room and I'll be adding the Exersaucer and Jumperoo to the mix shortly. Not to mention I was so happy to put away the high chair about 6 months ago and now I'll have to bring that out again. I keep thinking of what I can put away, but I think Austin will still want the gymini and swing a little while longer.

More Pictures

Just wanted to post some more pics from my new camera that I

got for Christmas.

Blog more often...

One of my New Years Resolutions is to try to blog more often. Hopefully I'll be able to stick to it. There doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to devote to all my resolutions...but I can only do my best. Another resolution is to play with the kids more so I better and go as Dean is calling...
