This video makes me laugh! I can't believe I let him get this messy. It's not usually like me to allow my kids to make a mess while I sit back and watch. But it was keeping him quiet during dinner so I could enjoy my meal in peace.
I have been tagged by my friend Ashley to tell 7 secrets about myself. Let's see...
1. I miss having a best friend.
2. Even though I love him dearly, I still sometimes wish that Sean had been born a girl.
3. Sometimes cleaning the house is just shoving all the clutter into a closet or cupboard.
4. I am very much afraid of heights.
5. I like hearing the sounds of the city when I'm sleeping, like the freeway noise and sirens and helicopters. It makes me feel safe, like help is close by in case of an emergency.
6. I bite the skin around my fingernails, but not my fingernails.
7. I still watch Full House.
I pass this onto my friends Jane, Nat, Jenn, Janis, and anyone else who hasn't been tagged yet. You're it!
Aquarium Adventures
Saturday we took the kids to the Scripps Birch Aquarium. Caityn has been there several times already, but this was Sean's first time. He was mesmerized by all the fish swimming in the tanks. Caityn wasn't on her best behavior that day, so she didn't get anything from the gift shop, even though we were all set to buy her something. Two and a half is a tough age!
Say "Cheese!"
Checking out the starfish and lobster
What a beautiful day!
Can I get one of these for at home?
Who's your new friend Sean?
Counting Caityns
Fort Fun
Sean tastes the fort to make sure it's okay
"Hey, Caityn, where are you?"
"Here my am!"
Peekaboo!
So not as early as his older sister, but already showing signs of being a full-on walker before he reaches 1 year, and he's not even 9 months old yet (tomorrow!). Two nights ago, on his own, Sean let go of what he was holding on to and started walking towards us. Then yesterday, he let go of the sofa and started heading away from me towards his toys. He didn't get too far before reaching for the floor, but getting farther and farther each day. Today, he was able to walk about 10 steps on his own, catching his balance before falling down.
My turn! Here's a bunch from when they were itty bitty blanket babies. It's been so fun to watch them all grow up together.

Lately, Caityn has been singing lots of songs...some she's known for a while, some she's learned in preschool, theme songs to TV shows she watches. These are the lyrics to one song she's been singing a lot lately:
Row, row boat, down stream
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary
Like a spider dream ?
Love it :)
Today I participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure with some of my Fabulous Mom friends and had a great time. Sean came along with me, since the boy is currently very attached to his mommy. Caityn stayed home and went to the park with Abel. The "race" was a little over 3 miles long, but pushing a 21 1/2 pound baby up those steep hills made it feel a little bit longer. I couldn't believe how many people participated in the walk today. It was a little difficult to maneuver the stroller through the crowds, but we made it through in 1 1/2 hours.
Look at all those people!

Sean slept for an hour and 15 minutes (almost the whole race). He woke up looking bewildered.
Caityn was excited about the pink cape and scarf I brought home for her. She played Super Duper Caityn with her new cape.
