Joe and I got the flu. 10 kids in the 1-2 room at daycare were gone this same day. B has yet to get it.

Bath is one of my favorite times to snap shots of this silly boy.

You can tell when we aren't traveling because I actually take time to update the blog! Few words though…

Barrett speak..

2 years, 1 month old

I'm hoping to make this a bit of a re-occuring post to jot down all of my favorite Barrett's phrases. His speech is insane these days. We can have full on conversations with him at times. He talks in full sentences. It's so much fun.

This morning, B started yelling for Daddy at 6:30am which is right on time for him. Neither of us were quite ready to get up for the day, so Joe brought him into bed with us to watch a little Chuggington. Joe sets him next to me and Barrett says..

B: Sit here by me, Daddy. (While he pats the bed next to him.) Good morning! Where dis duh remote? There dit is! Hi Mommy!

After a bit,

J: Barrett, do you want a banana?
B: Yeah.
J: Okay
B: (as he pushed dad out of bed) Go get it!

I need to get this on video but Bubs has a routine of saying Goodbye to people. "Byyyyyeee" "See ya later!" "Have fun" "Bye"

Recently, he has changed his See ya later to "Se ya La la la ter"

Barrett also has an app on his iPad that I forget the name of but it shows various flashcards and then when you click on it, the person says the name and spells it. An example: "School bus" S-C-H-O….etc spells School bus. Every time the narrater says "spells" Barrett thinks it means "smells" so he always takes a big whiff. It's hilarious for some reason.




He's so funny! He makes us laugh every day.

Two buddies

11-05-13

We've been doing this almost daily for about a month now. He has yet to actually do anything besides flush which, lets be honest, is the only reason he requests the potty.

11-06-13

Catch!

11-07-13

Kid always wants to put his feet on the wheels when he drives

11-08-13 and 11-09-13
Forgot my camera at home for the weekend

Halloween 2013

2 years, 1 month old

I can still recap Halloween a week late, right?

We had contemplated having Barrett be Rufio last year. Instead, he was gifted his dragon costume so I saved the idea for 2013. He still had no idea who this iconic character was and probably had more fun with it then he would have at age 1. Before B was born, so many people called him Baby Rufio so it was pretty much mandatory to dress him up as him at some point. I figure we may not have many years left where he will let us pick his outfit for him.



I ordered most of his outfit from Old Navy online but two days before Halloween I still hadn't received the shipping email and was a little worried so I hit up the store to see what they had. They didn't have the mega important red shoes but I found the black pants and black pullover along with a cool pair of black high tops. Of course, the next day a huge package showed up with the shoes, shirt and gray skinnies (which I ended up not using). Phew! I just had a few extra bonus pieces to add to his wardrobe. (Darn!)



We had planned on doing trick or treating in the Eastons subdivision, just like last year, so we went over there for some chili and candy. It was a rainy night so we didn't make it to any other houses but that was just fine with B. 1. He was at Jason's and 2. He still got to pass out a bunch of candy to other kids. Super awesome night in his book.



Here's a funny video of us applying his hair color. Thank goodness for Jake or he wouldn't have let us get near him!

Part of our bedtime routine is that B gets to climb up and turn on his humidifier. He thinks it's awesome!

10-29-13

Bedtime reading.

10-30-13

He's thinking "Mom, it's too early for pictures!" (You can sorta tell but today was Halloween wear because tomorrow is school picture day!)

10-31-13

When I was pregnant with B, tons of people named him "Rufio" from the movie, Hook. It was mandatory to dress up as him one of these days.

Home videos

2 years old

My mom recently had all our home videos made into digital copies and dvds. I've been watching them like crazy and my favorite ones are where we aren't doing anything in particular. I've made a conscious effort to get as much as I can of B on video for keepsakes and these are snippets of a normal bath time….easily my favorite activity we have right now.

Nothing at all exciting or even entertaining about them but he's never going to be 2 years and 3 weeks old again.



(I just looked and I have 277 videos on youtube. hahahaha)
