Oreo mustache

I gave Joss an Oreo one afternoon and when I looked at her again she had a chocolate mustache.

Happy Birthday Seth!

Patrick and I have decided that we don't want to have big birthday parties for our kids. At least not until they are older. We just like having it a small family day and with our kids so young they don't care about having parties anyway.



Seth was not too excited about opening his presents. In fact, he kept pushing them off his lap.


So we let Joss open them for him.


We got him a cool little car.


And some new outfits.


Seth shares his birthday with his older cousin Hailey. So I made a cake for both of them to share. The cake really didn't turn out how I wanted it to, but it still tasted good.

One Year Old

Seth was not wanting to get his picture taken so this was the best one that we got of him.

Seth is all boy! He loves to climb and stomp on things. He loves making messes and rough housing. He is all boy, but he is the sweetest little boy. He always comes up and gives me hugs and loves to be snuggled.

At his one year check up the doctor said that he is doing great. He has only gained 2 ounces since his 9 month check up but since that is when he started walking and running they weren't too worried about it. If he still hasn't gained much at fifteen months they will start looking at it more carefully.

I'm not sure how he hasn't gained weight, the kid eats like a horse. He can eat more than Patrick and I at times. He loves pretty much all food except for juicy fruits. In fact, he will throw any melon across the room.

We loves our little Bubba-Seth and are so glad that he has come into our home.

Playing in the Mall

One day I had an eye doctor's appointment to check how my new contacts are doing. We decided to take the kids down to the mall and let them play while I had my eyes checked. The kids loved the little playground. Seth's favorite part was trying to escape. Joss loved the fire engine and the slides.

Puzzles

Joss is really good at puzzles. In fact, one of the girls that we have babysit for us told me that Joss is better at the puzzles than she is. She can even put the pieces in when there isn't a piece next to it when there is a grid. She is so smart.

Stickers

One day I was shopping in the dollar spot at Target and they had a set of stickers. I thought that Joslyn would enjoy them so I got them for her. She loves them! Of course, when I purchased them I thought she would enjoy putting them on paper, but no she likes to stick them to her arm instead.

Exercising

For a few months now I have been going to our stake's women's fitness class. I'm really enjoying it. It's been really helpful for me because I'm not great at working out on my own. It's also nice to have somewhere to see other adults.
Joss and Seth love to go too. Seth really likes the CD player that we use. I'm always having to run over and pull him away from it. One of Joss's favorite things to do it to grab an extra yoga mat and curl up in it and pretend she is sleeping. She'll even fake snore on occasion. Most of the time they just have fun running around and playing with some of the nursery toys that we bring in for them.
Here is a picture of Joss with the yoga mats.
We've all been enjoying going and its good to know that I am doing something good for myself and the kids like to play and get out of the house every day.
