Trip to Dallas

Even though a month has passed since our trip to Dallas, it doesn't make it any less blog-worthy. We went to visit good friends of ours for a few days, and we had a blast. Our trip started out rough (first attempt our flight was cancelled and we had to start over the next day :( ) but it ended up being ok. It was Steven's first flight, and he did better than I did.
Our Dallas friends have three boys, and Steven thoroughly enjoyed playtime with the big boys! The kids were not the only ones who had fun...Steve and Charlie went to a Rangers game and Beth and I got to play Yahtzee and watercolor (which turns out to be one of my gifts). If that's not enough, we also got to enjoy great food with our wonderful company! We left wishing that we got to see them more often. 

 Garrett (left) is about a month older than Steven (right) and these boys got along famously! It was wonderful that we could let them play and they would entertain themselves!

 Steve and Charlie(kneeling) created some sort of golfing game with the twins' toddler golf gear. They eventually caught us girls spying. :-)

 Steven loves the swings!!

 So does Garrett!!

 Best pic I had of Owen and Eli...they are two and a half year old twins, and couldn't be any cuter! By the end of the week, I felt like they were actually starting to feel comfortable with us around!

 Me and my little man!

 Beth and me and all the kids...jeesh! Funny that just a little over two years ago it was just her and I.

Steven and his daddy!

Babies R Us threw up in my house

It's been awhile since the last post, so here's a few pics from the last week or so. He gets funnier and cuter everyday! I think we are in full blown teething mode now, which is soooo NOT fun, but hopefully he will cut a tooth soon here. Gotta love the milestones! Oh, and as a shout-out to the title of this post, my house is seriously bursting at the seams with baby crap. I don't think it's ever going to get better, at least in the next,oh, 20 years? Oh, motherhood.

Didn't know which toys to pick, so we had them all out. He loved it!

Big boy in his new sneaks,  but they made him angry when he couldn't get the whole shoe in his mouth.

We had a few nice days here in the burgh, so we got to finally get out of the house for a walk. It was the first time in the stroller without the infant seat, and it was a hit!

And we fell asleep on our walk. You can't see this in the picture, but he had each of his hands on one of his toys. So sweet.

First time in the high chair! Also a big hit.

Like father, like son.

Man VS Spoon. Still not sure who won that one.

So close to crawling! He pulls up his knees now and squirms all over.

Love this sweet, sweet face!

First day of sweet potatoes. HA. Not a hit. He spent most of his time gagging himself.

Playdate with Amanda and Luke! The boys were cute together...they are only 3 days apart and look like they could be related. Its funny how different their personalities are, too!
