CHOCOLATE...CHOCOLATE....CHOCOLATE!

Since Moses is allergic to dairy, he hadn't ever had chocolate.  Luckily, Grandma Annie found dairy-free chocolate chips.

What better way to eat chocolate chips than chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast?  At first, Moses picked out the chocolate chips.   

However, after his first taste of chocolate, he was hooked!

"YUM! YUM! I'm stuffed!"



Down in the West Texas Town of El Paso....

A couple of weeks ago, Moses went to go visit his Grandma Annie in El Paso. 

Grandma Annie had all of her friends over to meet Moses.

Emilie, Grandma Annie's best friend, brought over a rocking horse for Moses to ride.  It was great practice for later.  You'll see in the pictures farther down.

Moses had to try on Mason's shoes to make sure that they were comfortable.

With the weather being quite cold, there wasn't much to do.  Since Moses needs constant entertainment, we headed to Chuck E. Cheese

Moses rode the firetruck over and over.  He had a lot of fires to burn out!

All that practice on the rocking horse worked!  Moses was quite the jockey. 



Daddy, on the other hand, should have practiced more.

 Moses got to ride on a balloon bicycle.  It was a lot of work for Mommy and Daddy because they had to do all the pedaling, while Moses enjoyed the ride up and down.

"You are pedalling too slow, so I'm outta here!"

Moses is definitely a quarterback in the making!  Mommy is sooooo proud!

Out of all the rides and games, Moses's favorite thing was putting the coins into the machines.

Moses's one and only meal that wasn't Mexican.  Just kidding....kinda!

BIG HUGS....

.....and KISSES TO GRANDMA ANNIE!

"I LOVE YOU GRANDMA ANNIE!"



I've Got Manners.....

"I'm ready to EAT!"



"OH! WAIT! I need one foot...."

"Let's make that two feet!"

"Now I'm ready to eat!"

Tough Guy

Moses got his first shiner as a toddler.  Notice we said "as a toddler", because he has already had one before he turned one.

He didn't cry much when he got it, because he's a genuine TOUGH GUY!

Bubbles....Bubbles.....

Bath time is still one of Moses's favorite activities, especially after the new bath toys he has gotten.  He wants a bath as soon as he gets up and before he goes to bed.

"Check out all my cool bath toys!"

"Not only are the toys fun to play with, they also taste good....especially with some bubbles on it."

Another favorite activity in the bath is pouring water on himself.

"Check out my mohawk!"

Party in the back!

Civilized Eating....

Moses has been practicing his utensil skills.  He has gotten pretty good at it and we finally took some good pictures!

"YUM! YUM!  I got some noodles with the spoon!"



"Now let me try with the fork.  I think I got it!  Yes!  I am ambidextrous!  It's one of my many talents."

"MMMMMMM!!!  But it's just so much easier with my fingers!"

"As long as it doesn't go on the floor, Mommy doesn't care how it gets in my mouth!"

Happy Birthday Rowan!

Last weekend was Rowan's 1st birthday!  Moses hadn't been to a birthday party in a while, so he was completely stoked to see there was a BIG bounce house!

Moses had a great time bouncing with Maddie.

Maddie was a GREAT "big sister" to Moses!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, ROWAN!  Thanks for letting us celebrate your big day with you!

Daddy Day

Last Wednesday was Daddy Day at preschool.  Well, it wasn't officially but a group of the mommies decided to share the fun of preschool with the daddies.  Our Daddy was the pro since he goes every other week!

 

It was a great time had by all!  And the preschool teacher, Ms. Andrea, survived!
