Sunny Winter Days

Nothing better than going for walks with my 2 kids on a sunny Winters Day, even if it's just around our little garden, or up and down the drive way. Oakley now anxiously anticipates when the gate is going to open, and he charges, full force. Those little legs in his walking ring, just go..go...go...he loves it. His Mom of course is running behind him all the way making sure he doesn't topple over from how fast he goes. Got myself a little racer in the making here. I can only imagine how fast he's going to be once he learns to walk, I'm definitely going to be kept very busy with my little speedy. 

Tummy Time

Every afternoon we all go for a walk down the drive way and then around our garden, and I think Oakley is figuring this out, because once the door opens he's out and ready to go. Such a clever little monkey I have. I love how he's figured out how to go from left to right, and from right to left, backwards and then forwards. The best part was when he was trying so hard to catch his sister on her scooter. One minute she's there and the next she's on the other side, and he tries to hard to catch up to her, but she's way to fast for him, but don't worry one of these days he's going to out run her, and I'm sure he can't wait.  After our walk I decided to water the garden, and he was so amazed by the sprinkles coming out of the hose pipe, he just wanted to touch and be involved. He absolutely loves water, and when the little droplets of water touched his face, the smile and giggle followed by a little shiver was so cute, and then wanting more, Summer is going to be lots of fun with him and the sprinkler, my sweet little boy.

Yesterday he had his first shower with Mommy and Petal, and that was so much fun. He loves how the water comes out the top and he tries so hard to catch it, then giggles, so I put him down on the shower floor and he sat there splashing and smiling at his sister, then they both were under the shower head splashing and laughing. Precious moments. 

Today though he had his bath, and he's figured out that splashing is LOTS of fun. He now splashes the water all over, that by the end of the bath the whole bathroom floor is wet. But the joy in his face when he splashes with both hands and how the water splashes in his face, it's like the biggest joke to him, he's in his element. Nothing beats bath time fun. 

Over the past week, I've noticed how Oakley has started picking him self up from a lying down position. He'll lie down on a flat surface and with a couple tries he lifts himself up into a sitting position, and he's so proud of himself. Mommies clever little boy. So any day now I see the cruising phase starting, looking forward to it, he's developing so nicely every day. He just continues to amaze us every single day. He's also slowly starting to get the ''bye-bye'' hand wave going, he's nearly got it, and gets so excited when you say ''bye-bye Oakley'', he looks at you with the biggest grin, and then that face that says ''Mom where do you think you're going?''. 

On the 6th we'll officially be 1 month off ACTH, and so far so good. He's doing amazing. My little man is a superhero. 

So after a long fun filled day, both kids are fast asleep and ready for another fun filled day tomorrow. Sweet dreams my babies. <3
