On days when you turn two months old (!), you go to the doctor for your checkup.

I will have stats tomorrow!

He is going to be two months old tomorrow!  How did that happen?

It’s still pretty cute!  But I tried and tried to get another one out of him.  This was the best I could get.

He’s growing up so fast!

I think it’s the eyes.

I also got a Veggie Tales color block puzzle for him, which is nine blocks with six different sides, with a character associated with a color (Bob is red, Larry is green, etc.).  This has been pretty funny because Rerun will spell out the letters, but doesn’t know what the word is.  For example, “G-R-E-E-N.  Larry Boy!”  Or, “G-R-E-E-N.  Orn-nage (orange)!”

We’re working on the colors right now.

But he’s also been playing with a Disney character matching game that he got for his birthday.  It has classic characters (like Dumbo, Bambi, and Jiminy Cricket) along with more modern ones (Nemo, Simba, Timon and Pumbaa).  He likes to look through the square cards and find the matches, even though he’s not playing the game.

The Webmaster asked him to put his game away a couple of nights ago, and we found this:

If you can’t tell from the picture, Rerun has stacked the cards in a staircase pattern.  Each stack is one card less than the stack before.  He even turned the corners of the box.  The Webmaster was dying from laughter.  Between this and the puzzles, this boy’s brain clearly has a mathematical bent.

I should give him a Rubik’s Cube and see what happens.

He’s almost got a smile going in this one.

And then this one shows off just how round and chubby his cheeks are.

He’s growing too fast and he seriously needs to slow down.

And it took a few tries, but I did get a couple good pictures of me and the kids.

Thumper looks a little suspicious of his siblings in this one.

And even though Tad isn’t looking at the camera, his smile is pretty great and he’s looking at me in this one.

A mother’s work is never done, as I started tackling the laundry in the evening once things were winding down.  And another week begins…

Oh look!  A cute baby!

Happy weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who read this blog!

Today is an obvious place – Mommy’s lap.

I took this picture while we were hanging out in the waiting/play area at ABA during Tad’s session.  Thumper likes to just sit in my lap like this – I can get a lot done if I don’t have to move around.  I have folded laundry, played games with Rerun, read books, eaten lunch… anything that needs two hands.

And while I work, I can talk to Thumper, or he can observe what I’m doing.

Unsurprisingly, he doesn’t like to be far away from me.

And a very happy birthday to my favorite sister-in-law, Q-Bee!  We send you our love!

Then he carefully arranged all his gear the next morning before he left for school.

I told him that he should really put it all away, but he didn’t listen.  So this happened.

I got it all away from Rerun before Tad got home from school.  I am going to have to do some fast talking to get Rerun into a non-Batman costume this Halloween, I think.
