Love These Guys

Nicholas wanted to hold Sylvia while they watched her favorite show this morning – Sesame Street.  Aren’t they precious?

Little Grasshopper

Sunday, while we were outside, I saw the cutest little grasshopper.  I was showing Sylvia how softly touching it’s back would make it hop.  She played with it for a few minutes, gently using her foot to make it fly away so she could chase it down again.  Well lets just say her foot got a little too heavy and this is the last picture I have of that poor little grasshopper…0280 9-27-2009 Sylvia & GRasshopper

She even started clapping for herself as she walked away – like it was a job well done…

Rub-a-dub-dub

Wednesdays are Grammie days. My mom watches all the grandkids at her house and it gives us moms some (much needed) free time. Since my kids were the only ones she was watching this morning, we decided to go to Target together. Nicholas wasn’t too thrilled with the idea till Grammie bribed him with a new Thomas boat for the tub. He even got to play with it in her big tub with lots of bubbles, which allowed me to get some cute pictures.

Sylvie

I tried taking Sylvia out back to get a couple pictures. She wasn’t too happy about it, but I did manage to get a couple keepers.

Like I said – she wasn’t too happy about it

Her green tooth doesn’t give away the fact that I was bribing her with fruit snacks – does it? :)

She was much more interested in eating the grass I guess

This one cracks me up! She thought it was hilarious to push the buttons on my camera

Smell the Flowers

As I’m sure you’ve already noticed I’m actually going through some of my own pictures. Here are a few of Sylvia a couple weeks ago smelling Uncle Dan & Auntie Chelle’s flowers. She makes the funniest face when she tries to smell something.
