All Grown Up

Erik's just growing up too fast for us. Today was his first day in Nursery at church so Pawly thought we should celebrate by having him wear one of Dad's ties.

He's sure to have the longest tie in Nursery.
I guess this morning Erik decided he was "too big" for his high chair. He wouldn't finish his breakfast until he could sit on his own chair.
side note-this is a 'new to us' table and we love it! thanks sis

Not sure why the pictures are fuzzy-kinda think the lens is dirty from some little boy playing with the camera-don't know who that could be...
Yummy waffle's made by mom!




Oh and he does his own stunts!
presenting... Erik the Great Horse Rider!
I watched in amazement the other day, well like last month, as Erik climbed onto the saddle of his horse like he'd been doing this trick for months-but that was the first I'd ever seen him do it.
He doesn't do it much anymore, so we won't be selling tickets like I had hoped.


He's got the personal hygiene down pat!

Look at these multi-tasking skills. This also happened a few months ago. We bought a potty chair and opened it up to check it out. Erik got interested and wanted to sit on it AND the real potty. Plus he loves to brush his teeth-it's almost as good a bribing/motivational tool as candy. So he put his favorite things together. He's not as interested in the potty anymore so we'll wait on the potty training thing.




Some people's laundry
Erik, obviously, loves playing in the dryer. He even goes in there when I've just put in wet clothes, crazy kid. I love his flexability in this picture.



He's a climber. He loves to climb onto chairs, stools, really anything he can get onto, he just loves it. Luckily for us he hasn't learned how to climb out of his crib.

Thanks for explaining the lens being dirty. I thought my contacts were dirty or my vision was going bad again. Hope he grows to love nursery like Spencer does.

Talia went to nursery for the first time recently too! Can you believe how fast our little cuties are growing up? I remember when we were pregnant together and when you came to meet Talia in the hospital! Sheesh! Time flies! We are actually pregnant with baby #2 now and we are sooo excited!!!! I was half expecting to come to your blog and see that you were prego too since that's how it went last time :) Anyways! It looks like you are doing well. I am glad we have blogging to keep track of your cute family :)
