Reading again...

Once again... the house got quiet and after a few minutes I went to find Rhett. (I have every

thing childproofed so there is not too much he can get into.) There he was!This chair is his favorite place to climb up and look at his books. I love it!

Glass Bottom Boat

My girlfriend Beth's mother in law is in town and her family has been doing all the fun touristy stuff the past week or so. This morning Rhett and I joined them on a glass bottom boat trip. Rhett really enjoyed it!


Beth and Ikaika
Buddies :)

It was such a beautiful morning!


So handsome... my little man!

This is the same area that we had our famliy photo shoot for Rhett's birthday
Rhett made a little friend. Isn't that sky just beautiful?!!

Where are you going???

We went to dinner at a new sushi restaurant Sunday night with our new friends, the Marchesi family. Rhett was dressed up so cute, but would not stay still for a picture! The picture of him running away is the typical view I have of him lately. He is always running all over the place and I am behind him trying to keep up ;)

Mmmmmm,,, Ice Cream!!!

My girlfriend came over for dinner the other night with her daughter Ava who is four. After dinner she was eating icecream in the lanai and left her half eaten bowl on the coffee table. Rhett climbed his way on top of the table and this is how I found him.... eating icecream from a big boy bowl with a big boy spoon. (this is a first for him, he usually eats from the tray on his highchair with his hands)


Not sure if you can see it, but the icecream was dripping through the slats on the table and onto the carpet. If he wasn't so darn cute I might have cared!

I am training him well :)

I don't think I ever told you how much Rhett LOVES the vacuum cleaner. (maybe because I have been vacuuming since the day he came home from the hospital just to keep the Waikoloa dust at bay) Anyway, since we don't have a 'play size' vacuum for him to play with, I give him a dust brush and swiffer duster to use. He goes all around the house with them 'helping' mommy clean! This morning I caught a few pictures of him helping....

Rhett's Better!

We visited the doctor today and were given the 'all clear' to remove Everette's bandages... he is all healed!!! YEAH!!! So when we got home I gave him an extra messy snack (I had been trying to keep his bandages clean by avoiding messy stuff). So here he is having fun with his berries and cheerios!

Owie!

We spent Friday night in the ER after Rhett burned his hand on the humidifier steam. he is being a great spot about it all... you would never know that he had a horrible burn on the palm of his hand unless you look at the big bandage! He acts as if it never happened!! Here are some pictures of him playing in a little car we bought him at a MOPs garage sale fundraiser on Saturday.

Surfer Boy!!!

My girlfriend Beth and I took our boys to the beach Friday. It was a perfect beach day... we stayed for hours!
'Ahhhh... not another picture mom!'
Rhett took quite a while to get used to the water. Luckily the beach we go to has no waves and is perfect for toddlers.

He finally got used to it and didn't want to get out!!

Look at my boy trying to surf ;) He thought this surfboard was the greatest thing!!

Rhett kept running up and down the board just laughing and giggling. Notice all the boards in the background... they are definitely a hit with the kids!
WIPEOUT!!!
Mommy wanted to surf too!
Watch out! Rhett is bustin' out on the surfiin' scene ;) Boy, is he going to be a heartbreaker!!

Sneaking outside...

Rhett knows how to open the doors, so we try to keep them locked all the time. The other day we left a slider open so that Ceasar could go outside and of coarse Rhett discovered an escape. Doesn't take him long!! He was already out in the birdfeeder and playing with the watering can.
He was so happy to be outside!
Rhett doesn't yet know how to water the plants with the watering can. He just likes to collect things in it... rocks, leaves, dirt.
Here he is taking a poop break. He always pulls up his legs and grabs his ear with his look on his face while his eyes glaze over. It is quite amuzing ;)
This mud hole keeps getting bigger and bigger thanks to Rhett and the dogs. Notice he is collecting dirt for his watering can.

Sour!!

Saturday afternoon we decided to go to Tommy Bahama for a cocktail and appetizer. I gave Rhett a lemon to suck on, just to see his reaction. These are some pictures of his 'sour' faces!! We got the biggest laugh out of this, but he just kept eating it... he really seemed to like them!


This is Rhett posing for the camera.... ha! What a look! He almost seems proud of himself!
