Leo at 15 months

Everyday it’s something new, to keep me on my toes. This week we spent some pretty pennies on toilet paper guards, toilet locks…and just now while picking out photos I had to take a 5 minute break and find all the doors outside opened and Leo outside. In the garage, luckily. Leo’s getting to an age where I can give him something to do and to mimic me, and he does it for longer than 2 minutes.

Last week during Saturday chores Leo learned how to clean up his fingerprints…

And we’ve had some intensive case studies in how to use a spoon…

Every day after work John practices his guitar while Leo strums, or yells at him, or walks around dancing. It’s one of my favorite things right now.

Whenever I do P90X during the day Leo loves to watch and laugh at me while I jump around, or climb on me as I do push ups….We’re hoping he’ll have a 6 pack by his next birthday (joking, joking…)

This was what I came downstairs to yesterday morning. I have pictures of my brother doing the same thing with a Cheerios box at this age…I guess some activities are timeless for little boys.

And that’s Leo’s life right now….and thus my lack of blogging. This kid keeps me on my toes!

A REAL summer…

Yesterday at a church meeting my friends were talking about being so excited for summer to end, because it’s been so crazy for them. I had no idea what they’re talking about, it’s been lazy town around here. Little bit of structure, lots of random ideas and no motivation to do them…and a few adventures to local spots.

This summer we’ve been….

Drinking from frozen water bottles….preaching about first aid kits…

taking a good look at ourselves….in our vaccum…

Studying jelly bean art and ancient statues…

Learning new tricks, like putting your shirt on the wrong way, and playing guitar…(yes, Leo is trying to strum with a flip flop foam magnet)

Posing for pictures….

Cleaning up (all the time it seems…especially after we make homemade fudgsicles…

And trying to pose for pictures in the same spot as 14 months ago. Only this kid does not stay still.

 

Ok, so that all sounds great, but I do think I’m ready for school to start… Sophia can only read so many Magic Tree House books a week before she wants me to challenge her mind…

Happy Summer!
