Where is my Baby????

Why has my baby left me and been replaced with a little boy????? And when did it happen? I don't remember. I love my little boy and all the things he can do now! His little personality is really shining through, the good and the not so good:) We are off on our first trip of the month so I thought I'd leave you with a few updated little boy pics to tide you over for awhile.
He loves animal crackers!




Doesn't he look like a little DJ spinning his records?
He pulled up to a standing position today for the first time all by himself!!! Eli and I were in the kitchen and we looked and there he was, standing! I'm glad Eli was here for one of his "first". You'll have to excuse the huge bit marks on his legs. The mosquitoes just love him.


"Riding" his fire truck. He can sit on it by himself but Mom still pushes him around.






Here we are at the garage sale. It was really cold (for South Texas!).




This was the only hat I could find that would fit his big head! It's Eli's and he wore it when he was working in Antarctica!





Ethan showing off my "organized" fabric stash.



"Working" on his truck. He mostly likes to spin the wheels.

Not too happy to be wearing Mom's purple hat! This was before I found the red one.
Favorite time "naked time" after bath!


Dad time.




Oh! He found Dad's computer! Thankfully this one isn't plugged in.
He has also started crawling!!! One knee in front of the other and then a few spins on the bum and a good backwards scoot can get him just about anywhere he wants to go.
If anyone sees my Baby can you let me know because I'm getting a bit tired chasing this little boy around! And he's not even walking yet.

Score! Garage Sale Finds

Ethan and I went to 1 garage sale Friday morning because they were advertising lots of baby boy clothes and toys and they weren't opening up until 9am. Well, not so many clothes but look at all the toys we scored for $6.00!!!!!! Yes, that's right, $6.00!!!
2 Elmos' (one new)
Wiggles Guitar
Wiggles accordion (new in box)
Farmer book
fire truck (it doesn't make noise because they left the old batteries in it but I don't care, less noise!)
Halloween table cloth
2 baby toys
3 reusable grocery bags
Milo and Otis DVD
girls shirt/shorts/skirt pattern (new)


After a quick wash with the Lysol and $100 worth of AA batteries (jk) it was time to play! But how do you sanitize stuffed animals? I had to get these 2 elmo's. The one moves but I don't know what type of batteries it takes and the battery cover is missing. Maybe Eli can figure it out.
I got there while they were still setting things up. The lady really wanted to get rid of everything and nothing had prices on it. So I just made a pile of the stuff I wanted and she told me a price (6.00!!). I had to keep from smiling as she helped me to the car with my loot! As I drove away, I really felt like I had just robbed her! There were some other things there that I wanted but Ethan really didn't need them because they were almost duplicates of what he already had. I almost bought them cheap just so I could re sell them at a higher price. But I thought, No, I should let someone else have the joy of a good find!

Happy 4th of July!!!!! Garage Sale day.....

Ethan with his "I love the USA" suit on. Thanks Aunt April! I wish we had some place to go so we could show you off!
Today we had our Garage Sale. We made $70.40!!! It all went fairly smoothly. I had all the stuff priced and set up in the garage so all we had to do this morning was move everything outside. We didn't sell through as much stuff as I would have liked so I will be keeping it for our next "Moving Sale" whenever that is. I have to say it feels really good to get rid of so much "junk". But I guess one person's junk is another's treasure! And we only had 2 things stolen: a pair of jean shorts and a rubik's cube! Who steals at a garage sale? If they "needed" it so bad, I'm glad they have it now.I had signs on all the chairs and tables: Not for sale.
Do you see the fence we put up to protect our new grass from people walking across it? It worked. No one walked on the grass.And yes, I did try to sell the late 80's prom dresses (sorry April)!!!!LOL I think they have been through at least 3 garage sales now and still no one wants them. I guess I should just break down and make Boo a princess costume out of them!LOVE my new sticker for my car!!!!! Who knew they made these?? Love it.
