Sneaking Chocolates

Lately Quino has REALLY enjoyed being in our room because there are several boxes of chocolates. I had eaten all the good chocolates leaving only the dark ones, so I didn't care if he ate a few.

As I was getting ready for the day I hear Quino gasp and say "ooohhhh". This means the chocolates have been discovered. He picks up the box and starts to walk towards me. I turn around and tell him he can have some. He looks at me suspiciously, carefully edges around the bed, and goes to the other side of the bed where I can't "see" him. These are the pics I got.

He Thinks He's SO Sneaky

Proof He Ate the Chocolates. Yes, He's Handing Me Trash

Smelling

I have taught Quino how to smell flowers. He knows that we inhale through our nose and then say "mmmhhhh". As a result he'll smell any plant. It's super cute and I love it! Today he walked up to my house slippers, shoved his nose into them, sniffed and said, "mmmhhhh". I looked at him and said, "I know they don't smell good". He ran off laughing

First Sentence

Today Quino said his first sentence. He was crawling all over me and he elbowed me, hard. I grunted. He turned, looked at me with a very serious face, and said, "You OK?" 

I was so shocked that I didn't reply and he returned to crawling over me. Then he elbowed me even harder in my chest. I guess I wouldn't have been hit the second time if I had just answered him.

"You OK?"

Pumpkin Pictures

Note: Sorry it’s been so long to update everyone. I never thought that putting a baby on a schedule would be so TIME demanding. So first a post about today and then onto past things

A while ago I found a pic of a baby in a pumpkin. I LOVED it and decided we’d do one with Quino.

Early last week I went and found the BIGGEST pumpkin possible and brought it home. Today we did all the prep work before taking him outside for the pictures. I set the camera to take multiple pictures within a few seconds, Greggars carved the pumpkin and we stripped Quino down and took him outside.

Then we put Quino in the pumpkin… and his leg got stuck on the way in! Determined that this was going to work AND be a memorable experience I forced his leg through, which of course ticked him off. As a result we got pictures such as these.

I suppose I deserved this.

That left us with this one good pic, spit bubble and all! LOL

We then brought him in and tried to take him out of the pumpkin.

Remember how I forced him into the pumpkin? Greggars couldn’t get him out.

So he carefully cut out a portion of the back and RIPPED the pumpkin apart. I guess his Daddy Bear instincts kicked in. This is what was left of the pumpkin...

...and that’s what happens when you take baby outside for pumpkin pictures!
