Turns out I *did* take pictures of Arin and his strawberry shortcake adventure. Gotta love that whipped cream beard! Om Nom Nummy! Arin is *super* serious when it comes to eating, he always puts on his battle face. Strawberry shortcake = conquered.

Lately I’ve been looking at Arin and I can’t fathom how he got SO big so fast. I look through old pictures of him as a chubby little bunny and wonder where that went… when did my tiny baby sneak off and grow into a little boy? And why didn’t he ask my permission first?? I’m glad he’s getting bigger and exploring the world and learning all sorts of fun things, but it’s still sad to think how much time has already gone by, and that he’ll never be a tiny little munchkin again. At this rate, he will be…

Here are the pictures from the other time Arin asked me to ‘piiike’ his hair. It seems right now his hair got super long again overnight… one day it was sticking up and short, and the next it was flattened down and long. Crazy. I’m hoping to find some clippers and give him a military-style haircut this time… short and cool for summer time, and I think it will look very nice with his blond hair. But with a face like this, any kind of hair would work. So much cute!!

I love how bright and colorful his shirt is, it matches the truck! We have been keeping this on the porch, so he only gets to play with it when he is able to get out there and then he drags it into the kitchen. It makes a ton of noise you turn the key, just like a real truck.. and the horn and turn signals also work. Very fun for a little Bobo who’s favorite things in the world are ‘cars’!

Sorry I haven’t been updating in the past week and a half – I’ve been quite busy finishing up a project of mine. I am quite proud of it, even though it’s not really all that exciting… it’s more of the accomplishment of getting something finished! Well, there it is… my novel! The cover anyway. You can click to enlarge and read the back if you’re curious what it’s about. I am waiting for the printer to approve the files, and in a few days a proof copy will be created and sent to my door and soon in my…

Well, he doesn’t quite express himself in full sentences or say please yet, but the other day Arin asked me to spike his hair! It was so cute. He was under the impression that you use moisturizer to style your hair… so finally after months of wrestling the lotion away from him every time he can get his hands on it and muss it into his hair… I showed him the hairspray can. I explained that THAT was what you used to spike your hair, and that lotion was JUST for skin. He got it right away, and immediately demanded…

Summer time means lots of fresh strawberries! Bobo loves berries, and all winter long has been faithfully chomping on frozen raspberries. Now he is definitely enjoying these, as you can see. Also, I don’t have any pictures of it… but Arin is already a HUGE fan of strawberry shortcake… yum!

This year, we have about 6 million dandelions gracing our backyard. Arin loves them when they turn to puffers, he picks little bouquets of them and waves them in the wind so the little seeds fly and spread to even more of our lawn. The first time he encountered them though… he didn’t quite get the right idea at first. 🙂

Sometimes when we’re having a lazy day Arin gets a cute breakfast like this. It usually involves hearts because that’s such a fun cookie cutter to use… and it makes everything from toast to sticky rice taste yummier, right?? I think so. This french toast was made using the thick Texas Toast for not-yet-posted Sugared Mexican French Toast (is that redundant? maybe I should be more logical with names)… and made *without* cinnamon. This is a big step for me… cinnamon ALWAYS goes into the french toast batter in my world… but I have to admit, I’m really digging the…

Arin really likes Thomas the Tank Engine… big surprise. I never thought he would be one of “those” babies… the ones who are all into baby brands like Thomas or Barney… but hey if it makes him happy I’ll go along with it. He already has a set of a collared Thomas shirt and (2) Thomas shorts that Alex sent ages ago when their factory was producing them… at the time Arin was too little to know what Thomas was or care, but now he sure likes them! We saw this shirt in the store the other day, and as…
