What we've been up to lately

Wow! It's sure been a long time. I don't even know where to start. Rex is now 9 and a half months old! And Makenna turned 3 in March. We've been having a lot of fun lately. It's great now that Rex is on the move, crawling that is, and he finally is on some sort of schedule. This kid certainly isn't like his sister!

We just got back recently from a trip to Dallas to visit my mom and Alex as well as Lauren and Jake. This was my first flight with both of the kids solo and it went surprisingly well! They were both awesome on the plane and because I've flown several times with Makenna I seem to have the system down. Yea for helpful people too!! When they see 2 kids alone with a mama they sure seem to be accommodating! When we were in Dallas we went to the Arboretum and the Dallas Zoo. So much fun! M was so cute and Gma Barb loved it. Rex was a little mommy magnet as usual. I mean, I love that he loves me, but sometimes I just need a break from the clinging! Geesh!

Last week we went with some friends to the Children's Museum here in La Crosse. M had tons of fun! I asked her on the way home what her favorite part was and she said it was the water part! They have this awesome area called the Mighty Mississippi and it's water rushing through this table where the kids get to put the plastic boats in the water at the top and watch them float down to the end and then they get them and bring them back to the top. So fun! We went with 2 other friends and their girls. They had a fun time shopping at the Kwik Trip, playing in the tree house and pretending to be sleeping beauty in the lofted bed. Such silly girls!

Rex is growing into quite the little sweetie. He crawls all over the place and generally is a pretty happy baby. He likes to eat his food, pull his sister's hair, pull all the toys and books out and make as much noise as he can. A true boy.

I did this whole post from my iPhone. We'll see how it turns out. Now that I can actually do this it will be easier for me to maybe keep up... Hope so anyway!!
