Random Things...

Over the past week...

A very happy Atticus showing off his teeth with a big grin! The head wound is on its way to being healed...

Atti in his Sox gear, showing off his good looks!

an out cold baby!

Marshmallows

Atti's favorite before and after dinner snack is marshmallows!! He puts the whole thing in his mouth and then spits it out and offers to share with you! Sweet but gross!!

Atti laughing with dad while eating a marshmallow! Notice the head wound is healing nicely; no more bandaids!

Head Wound

Bummer! Atticus was running down our hallway while watching his feet and slammed into a corner with his head! The poor thing was bleeding like crazy, but after we got him cleaned up we saw that it was just a small cut. Hopefully they scar won't be too big because it is smack dab in the middle of his forhead...

Moments after the accident Atti was happy and enjoying Tigger and Pooh!

I will give updates on his healing process!

Lunch Time!

Atti tried ramen noodles today without all of the sodium; he loved them but had a hard time getting them in his mouth!

Happy Mother's Day!

Once again, I am not smart enough to rotate this picture properly...but I still had to share it with everyone!  After hours of playing and only a 30 minute nap all day, Atticus was still happy to take a sponge bath in Grandma Sugar's bathroom sink!  

Silly Grandma!  I'm too big for this sink!

Duo Day Part Dos

The second half of Saturday was spent swimming!  Atti went down the BIG waterslide TWICE!!  Once with Elliot and once with G-Pa!  When we got home Atti took a three hour nap!

Duo Day

Last Saturday we went ice skating for the first time!  Atticus got some mini hockey skates of his own and a helmet to protect his noggin and we hit the ice!  Atti was thrilled to skate,  and was very upset when we were tired of bending down to hold him...  His is going to be a pro in no time!

Alizé attempting to skate while holding Atti up...not so easy for me!

Atticus the Housewife

Atticus decided he wanted to help me vacuum today....but he hates the vacuum!  I let him hold it and push it around because he was trying to take it away from me, but then he just got beyond mad at me, and the poor dyson!

Atti screaming at me when he hit the fireplace with the vacuum

Atti trying to get past the fireplace...

Atti in his final tantrum with body dropping and head thrashing - and extremely loud screaming!

It will be a long time before I let him take over the vacuum again!

Mosh Pit Atti

Grandma Sugar (Shelly) took Atticus and I to see her friend's daughter's band, Avenue of Embers, perform in American Fork on the 30th.  We had a fun time driving there (and getting lost), but had the most fun when we got inside!  Atticus loves music and wanted to join the band on stage, fighting and screaming at me when I wouldn't let him down!  He was the life of the party, shaking his hips, spinning in circles, and throwing his arms up and down with the beat!

Atticus and Grandma Sugar - Check out Atti's cool ear plugs!  (Not so fun for mom to put in, by the way...)

Grandma Sugar holds Atticus back out of the crowd while they watch the band play!  

Little Atti dancing on the side of the stage; he so badly wanted to run up there and join the band!  He definitely has his dad's musical abilities and I look forward to my future musician!

I also have a picture of Atti with Angie, the singer in the band, but I am computer disabled and can't get it to flip the correct way!  I'll get it up when I can figure out what the heck I am doing!

Zoo Day Two!

Last Sunday we went to the zoo for the second time, and Elliot, Farmor (Claire) and G-Pa (Joe) came with us!  Atti discovered the BIG slide at the playground and went down it six times!  Elliot lost his iPhone while we were playing, but thankfully it was recovered and returned! 

Alizé, Elliot, and mad Atti on the giant spider at the playground

Atti excited to go down the spiral slide all by himself!
