My Hoi Polloi

lyla...

loves to eat rice cereal.

weighs nearly seventeen pounds.

has two teeth coming in.

sleeps through the night.

enjoys sucking on her toes.

can roll all the way across the room.

wants to be held all day.

loves her big brother.

likes to swing.

is five months old today.

we love you little bean!

tonight, corey pulled into the driveway in this....and right away, i knew he loved her more than me.   and i don't even know how to spell her name (Lamborghini. thank you spell check)...i guess she is kinda pretty though.

well corey, take a good long look.  cause this is probably the only time in our lives that a car like this will be in our driveway...or of course, we could sell all of our possessions and just call the Lambo our home.
home. Lamborghini.  they are roughly the same price.

when kaleb was little he totally preferred corey over me (i guess it would be accurate to say that he still prefers corey over me.)...well, revenge is sweet, cuz me and lyla...we're buds!  i like it that she loves me.  it does get a little hard though when i need to leave and she gets sad.  but she is getting better at that.

last week kaleb got to slip n' slide with his friend haley.  they didn't do a whole of sliding...more just running through the water and splashing at the end sort of thing.

haley is so cute and dainty all the time. even when she is running through sprinklers.

kaleb...gotta love his whitey-white skin!  (inherited from yours truly!)

haley loves to pose for the camera, it's easy to get cute shots of her.

and finally, the crack shot.  i wonder, do they make suspenders for swimming suits?

haley, you need to come over again.  pretty much every morning kaleb wakes up and asks, "are we gonna slip n' slide today ma?"  i would love to tell him yes one of these days!

i set up a little photo shoot with my grandparents last week and i got some great pictures of them!   this is one of my favorites:

when i get kaleb dressed in the morning, i pick out some stylin' cute clothes, and then think to myself...his puma's would be so cute with this outfit...OR...he would look like a stud if he wore his chuck taylor's...

but no.  we wake up, get dressed and he INSISTS on putting this pair of shoes on his feet:

this is how we roll.

we had a good weekend.  on saturday we were out all day.  kaleb's shirt pretty much shows just how much fun we had.

yeah. it was a good day!

well, i have found a website that i want her to look at...not because it is anything special, but just cause when i saw it i thought to myself, "ooooooooohhhh, alyssa should do this!"

so. go HERE alyssa and you can make your handwriting into a way cool type font that you can use on the computer (for a small fee of course).  i would do it myself but my handwriting is nothing special....but yours is totally fabulous.  

i am definitely doing this when kaleb learns his letters so that in twenty years i can say to him, "look how cute and sloppy your handwriting used to be"

this kid has some seriously curly hair.  if you are wondering where he get his curls...well, you obviously haven't met my husband.  i want to cut kaleb's hair soooo bad but corey (and everybody else) loves his hair.  i just feel that when boy's {with curly} hair gets to the little-orphan-annie-stage it needs to be cut.  i do have to admit that he is pretty stinkin cute though. 

this is the face we get when we ask him to smile lately.  such a sweet face...so deceiving.

this is kaleb after swimming at his friend jett's birthday party.
kaleb and da mama.


in addition, just a little conversation with kaleb...it goes like this:

me: Kaleb, who is your best friend? mommy, mommy, mommy

kaleb:  oh, um...mommy and daddy and scott

me:  you mean grandpa shelley?

kaleb: no...his name's scott

bytheway. he calls all four of his grandparents by their first names.
