WHY?

Buster asks why constantly (I know it is what my little guy is supposed to do, but his sister never did) anyway I was cracking up the other day when not even he could answer his question why. Overheard Conversation Buster had with himself (okay really the horsey's he was playing with had this conversation). I do love (parenthesis ) even when they aren't appropriate.

Horsey #1: Why
Horsey #2: Because it is blue
Horsey #1: Why
Horsey #2: Because it is
Horsey #1: Why because, see it is blue
Horsey #2: Why
Horsey #1: I don't know why, why, why (he said that with a very exasperated tone)

You gotta love the logical imagination of a little boy!

FIRSTS!

We have had a few firsts in the last few months. . . (if you are an aunt, uncle, grandma, or grandpa you will probably enjoy this post)

Hiselt:

Drinking from a cup and drinking water

Eating Rice Cereal and food

and wearing Sunglasses

He is also Crawling but I don't have a great picture for that

Buster:

Having a chance to walk around looking perfectly TRASHY!! He got car sick and well we did not have a change of clothes or a store close to the woods we were in. He definitely helped us fit in!

She can do the Monkey bars all by HERSELF and a cartwheel, oh and KB has begun doing her own hair (a picture to come)

Monkey see monkey do

KB has always been an amazing tree climber! Well this winter (although it was mainly spent inside) proved to give her some conditioning to climb higher than ever before. Not only can she climb higher but she can now climb up trees that are missing lower branches ( I swear she is part monkey) Our Back fence is another fabulous thing to climb and swing on. Because of this tonight I counted 30 slivers between her two hands. The problem is that before you touch her she screams that you are hurting her! Oh the drama! I guess I never thought I'd look at a sliver and have to make the decision if it is worth the psychological toll it will take to pull it out. Some make the cut and well others don't! Kate has also discovered the joy of a back patio art gallery.

Now Buster not being able to be out shined has also proven to learn how to climb trees. Two weeks ago he could not do it on his own and now look at him!

We sure do love our little monkeys even if they can do more pull-ups than their mama!

ALREADY!!

When I don't want to lay down and mommy and daddy are busy I usually sit here. .

But Mommy and Daddy better watch me closely because today I did this! I swear this should not be happening yet. Some other things Heiselt loves to do....

blow raspberries

suck on blankets

grab the phone

laugh

play with toys (never had such a toy junkie)

roll

watch the fishies

Loves to lay on tummy and inchworm around!

Should he really be this big?! (okay not really a question, more of an astonishing thought)
Heiselt is so fun we all enjoy him in our family, some of us a little too much!
