Every day both of you do little things that crack Mama and Dada up!  Mama is trying to catch all of those little moments so we always remember them.  Cody, this week you helped mama while I worked!  You told me, “I push this button…and now I’m pushing these buttons REALLY FAST!” I was so glad you you were there to help me in the office!IMG_20140831_095440_796_1

Avett, for a few weeks now you have been obsessed with Dada’s coffee cup…so obsessed that you decided to take it to bed with you.  Here you are on the monitor asleep cuddled up with Dada’s coffee cup.  There was no getting that cup away from you at bedtime!  : )

Today I took you to the Splash Pads in Old Fourth Ward to meet our part time super nannies CeeCee & Tikiyah.  CeeCee brought her daughter Justyce and her friend Mackenzie and we had an amazing time!  CeeCee brought cups for us to fill up with water in the fountains…IMG_1942  IMG_1950 IMG_1953 IMG_1960We stopped to rest for a minute, have a snack, and share a sweet smile with Justyce.  IMG_1964  Then, it was back to play in the fountains!IMG_1979 Avett, you were really impressed by the big fountain!IMG_1981 IMG_1982-2  After the splash pads we walked on over to the playgrounds.  The slides were a big hit with everyone… IMG_1985 IMG_1986 Cody, you were getting a little sleepy…IMG_1987 IMG_1991Justyce was a little wary of how high the slide was…IMG_2002IMG_2001But, once she started sliding down she warmed up to it!IMG_2003IMG_1993IMG_1992Justyce and Tikiyah had a little drum session…IMG_1988 IMG_1989 IMG_1990Thanks to Tikiyah & CeeCee for such a wonderful outing!  We love you so much and our lives are better with you in it!IMG_1944

Introducing the Meow Meow!!!!  IMG_2838

 

This week we adopted Finn, a sweet and spunky little Maine Coon mix kitty cat.  You have both been chasing Finn around yelling “Maow Maow!!!!  Hold it!!!  Hold it!!!”.  Luckily Finn is not easily spooked by either of you or the two dogs (Charlie and Frei).  Finn is very interested in everything you guys are doing…in the picture above Cody, you were “cooking” for Finn.  Avett, you have been so excited to have a kitty…you giggle hysterically every time I put Finn in your lap and lean over to give Finn kisses every chance you get.  Absolutely precious!

One of your favorite activities right now is playing in the water.  Outside, in the sink, in the tub….doesn’t matter.  You just LOVE playing in water.  You will spend hours pouring water from one cup into another…from a pitcher into a bowl…from the bowl back into the cup.  Cody, you will gather up several items and say, “Wash hands!  Wash hands!” and are wanting to go to the hallway bathroom and just let the water from the sink fill up your containers so you can pour them from one thing to another.  Today I let you pull up your chairs to the kitchen sink and just let you play while I got dinner together!  As usual, Avett, you wanted to be in your diaper only… naked baby time is the best time!
