Smiley Faces

My little girl had become so smiley since turning 2 months old! 

Love Bug

Hunter has become quite the love bug lately, and I love it! He has a blanket that I bought on a weekend trip with my mom. It was way colder than expected so my mom bought Hunter this soft blanket that we found at one of the first shops. Somehow, this has become his number one lovey, and he drags it from one end of the house to the other! He sleeps much better when it's in bed with him, and he doesn't like for anyone else to have it. 

He also has two monkeys that he love, love, loves to snuggle with! The brown is a Scentsy monkey with a lavender insert, and the green was a decoration that he discovered one day and it hasn't been back on the shelf since!

Whenever he is sleeping, he loves to cuddle with one of his monkeys or his blankie, but this summer, we've been out of the house more and more during nap time. Look at how he's been sleeping at nana's house! 

Yesterday, he did something so, so cute! He has three HUGE stuffed animals, a big sock monkey from nana (Tim's mom), huge moose from his aunt (Tim's sister), and huge bear from grandpa (Tim's dad) from when he was delivered. They all sit in his room and yesterday he kind of disappeared on me. After a few, I heard him whining and he came to get me. He had been trying to drag out his huge bear. It is much too heavy for him to drag out, so he walked me back there and insisted I bring it to the living room. I did as I was told, but he wasn't happy with that. He wanted it IN his chair. Then he wanted to sit IN his lap. They can't both fit.... Trust me, he tried! Here was his process...

Dragging 

Help?

Can I sit, too?

Maybe if I push back really hard....

One more try

Big Blue has had enough, and retaliates 

Notice how he has picked up the blankie?

Mom got creative....

And finally figured out a way to watch Dora together.... Quite intently, I might add...

Aaahhhh, sweet, sweet success! 

The boy has also been pretty lovey on his sister , too! He tries to pick her up which is scary for mommy! 

Sometimes he hugs with just his head :)

Thinking about sharing his blankie! 

Trying to pick her up.... 

Sophie also gets in on his lovin'!

These hugs are not reciprocated! 

Frozen treats!

I feel so domestic right now, y'all, it's not even funny! I saw a picture on Pinterest of some 'frozen yogurt drops' and really didn't think much more of them. 

Fast forward a year and this is what I have on my hands at least once a day

Yeah. Cute, but not fun to clean up every. single. day. 

So, I decided that I could replicate the picture I saw on Pinterest easy enough without going back to find it. I was willing to take the chance that it may be a total Pinterest fail. 

First get your stuff. Yogurt, wax paper or foil, and Baggie or fancy frosting bag. 

Since I did this all in the five seconds I had before I knew Charlotte would wake up and while Hunter was munching on blueberries after our walk, I just slapped down some foil on a paper plate. 

Then I messily spooned in some of our fave Greek yogurt into the bag and cut off the tip.

Then I went to town squirting little droplets all over the plate. 

 Most weren't very pretty, but I figured Hunter wouldn't care! I found the tiniest place in our embarrassingly messy freezer and hoped for the best! Since Hunter saw me make them he didn't let then freeze for more than about seven minutes, but they were pretty frozen! 

  Rather than have him traipse around the house possibly dropping frozen yogurt drops just waiting to secretly melt in an in opportune place, I opted to give him the 'tray'. All I can say is.... New favorite snack!

 

Later in the day he actually walked me over to the freezer and requested more. Love that my son prefers healthy snacks!

  My only recommendation is that you give you child just enough to tide them over and then refill their tray if necessary. Otherwise, they melt too fast! I really want to try to put yogurt and fruit in the mixer and then make fruity yogurt drops. Then maybe mom can share! (Right now I only like the Greek yogurt if the fruit is mixed in!)

Proof that they are NOT a Pinterest fail, he's asking for more!
