Stu & Cousin B!

Today was such a fun day!! Cousin B came over to play with Stuart!! Stuart always looks forward to spending time with all of his cousins... especially Cousin B. She is always so imaginative and fun!! Here are some pictures of the hour we spent together.

Here they are just playing in the living room. Running, jumping, tumbling, crawling... burning up all that stored energy!





Here Charlie is singing so they can all dance. It was really cute because Cousin B knew the song and told Uncle Charlie he sounded just like the guy that sings it :)




Before we ate lunch, Cousin B read several books to Stuart. He really enjoys when she reads to him and B is such a wonderful reader! Of coarse, they had to read in Stuart's big boy bed. He loves to play and read in it... but not sleep in it :)

Fun Outside

Today, we went out to visit Grandma D and cousins, A & L. All of the kids had fun playing outside. There is always so much to do there!



Above, Cousin L and Stuart took turns riding the 3-wheeler! Awwww... how cute!




Cousin A was such a big helper today... she pulled both Stuart and L around in the car. What a sweet, sweet girl :)

Away From Home...

Stuart got to stay the night at Granny Sue & Grandpa Chuck's house. Our wedding anniversary was the 11th and we wanted to get out and do something together. Originally, Grandma D and Grandpa C were going to take him over night, but Cousin L's birthday party is tomorrow so they have a full house. I think Grandma D still wanted to take Stuart over night... but we insisted he could stay the night sometime in September instead. So we get another date night next month!! WHOO HOO!!

Now if you look closely... Stuart has just fallen asleep in this picure while sitting up. Then, in the next picture he has fallen forward and continued to sleep.

GEEZ, Granny Sue must have worn him out because he has NEVER passed out like that for me :)


TIMBER!!

Making a mess...

And cleaning it up.

Just having a bedtime snack.

Morning Cartoons! Score!

Sometimes Stuart likes to watch cartoons in the mornings... sometimes he doesn't. When he does we usually lay in our bed together... but this morning he insisted on laying on the floor with his bear and monkey while he zoned out to Dinosaur Train.

Charlie found this wounded butterfly outside. It couldn't fly. He brought it inside to show Stuart and Oli. The boys were amazed!

Big Helper!

This morning Daddy is trying to get some homework done and Stuart thinks he needs to help. He really isn't much of a help at all, but Daddy doesn't mind :) He takes a break to play with Stu... and George!

I walked into Stuart's room this morning and realized how many stuffed animals Stuart actually sleeps with... alot! I'll introduce you to all of them.


First and most importantly... we have George. Grandma D & Grandpa C brought back this Curious George stuffed animal from their recent vacation. It is the new favorite... and Stuart takes him everywhere! Then we have "the poodie" from Great Grandma E... and the puppy pillow pal... Stuart has slept with these pillows since forever :) Mr. Lion is next... he came from the Blank Park Zoo and is the newest member of the gang. Mr. Frog is not ours... he has traveled here from Grandma D's house. Last but not least... Mr. Bear. We have had Mr. Bear since I was pregnant with Stuart... a gift from Granny S. A few other animals make their way into the crib but these guys are the regulars.
