#3

Teeth that is. Haha I bet I had a few of you going for a minute ;p. Caleb got his third tooth this morning. It's his lower right. He is still working on the top teeth so this one threw us for a loop. I guess he's doing things his own way!

We are headed for a fun weekend in Palm Spring so hopefully I will have time with the long weekend to update some pictures.

My baby is 8 months old today. I know I say this every time I post but I just can't believe he is already 8 months old. He is such a little stud muffin! He loves his sister and yo gaba gaba. He is getting pretty close to crawling and if you pick him up to put him in the crawling position he just looks like hes doing a downward dog and then lunges forward. He has two teeth now and likes to bite (me mostly) but Natalie now knows first hand that if she sticks her finger in his mouth he does bite haha she even will tell people. He also says Dada baba and lala. He loves to eat. There isn't anything this kid doesn't like so far. Looks like we hit the jackpot in that area with both kids. He has even had sushi (the raw stuff) and loved it. We love you K-man!

OC Fair round 1

Saturday we went to the OC Fair to celebrate Kevin's mom's birthday. Everyone had a great time and ate a lot of yummy food. We also took the kids to the mini circus. They both loved it. I have to say the adults were pretty entertained themselves.

Beach Day

Friday the kids and I headed down to the beach for the day and a family bonfire. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. Natalie loved running in the waves and had no fear. Her Daddy would have been so proud (he was in Denver for work). Caleb loved sitting in the sand until he did a face plant. But we gave him a graham cracker and he cheered right up again. Both kids ate some sand got really dirty and had a blast. We have to do it again soon, but this time with Daddy cause boy was I tired after that.

Real men wear pink bibs

Caleb is no longer Mr. Gums. His first tooth broke through last night. He loves getting his teeth brushed for the time being and Natlie loves that her brother has to brush his teeth too. We celebrated by giving him a little graham cracker to munch on. (YEs I'm a bad mom and put a pink bib on him, his was all wet, sorry buddy.)

19, 6, Palm Springs and Father's day!

We have been really busy the past two weeks. Well we are always busy but the last two have been even more crazy than usual.

Natalie turned 19 months on the 16th and went for her 18th month check up. Yes, she was a month behind but the Dr. said it was fine since she wasn't getting shots. Hey I wasn't about to leave work early and lug the kids to the Dr. two separate times. Natalie is 34.25 inches tall and 25 pounds. Thankfully I wrote it down on the back of a coloring book page so I wouldn't forget haha. I had the Dr. check her for being anemic just to make sure since at her 12 month check up she was. Funny story, Natalie was sitting on Kevin's lap while the nurse was cleaning her finger to take blood and Natalie was just watching what the nurse was doing. Then the nurse pricked Natalie's finger and she didn't even flinch and then the nurse started squeezing her finger to get the blood out and Natalie moved in for a closer look. After the nurse was done Natalie looked at her and said, "Good job" then she looked at us and said, "Good girl." It was so funny we all started to laugh. Natalie is talking in 3 to 4 word sentences now so that has been so nice that for the most part we can figure out want she wants. Her new favorite words or phrases are, "there's/ where's my Daddy (mommy) (baby)" "fun" "go outside" "love you mommy (daddy) etc." "handsome" and when you ask her what he name is she says Natalie Mullaney it is so funny to hear her say Mullaney. She also finally can say Caleb. She is such a funny and energetic little girl. We love you Natty!

Caleb turned 6 months on the 12. It's hard to believe he is half way to his first birthday. Caleb is 28.75 inches tall and 16 pounds. He's tall and skinny like his Daddy. He is now a tummy sleeper even though he starts on his back and still loves sucking his thumb. Even if we try to give him a pacifier he spits it out and pops his thumb in. Bad habit I know but it does look cute. He started eating cereal, veggies and fruit. So far green beans and asparagus are his favorites. i know you are probably thinking they don't have asparagus baby food, but I'm going out on a limb and making his food. I have to say it is so easy and cheap too. He is still all gums but his bottom teeth are trying to come through. He is such a happy baby my mom says we could never have another kid because we have been spoiled with two easy babies. I think she's right. haha We love you K-man!

We went to Palm Spring to celebrate my mom's birthday a week early since Kevin will be out of town on her actual birthday this Saturday. It was a wonderful time as always and it was such nice weather. We enjoyed hanging out in the pool, Outlet shopping, and yummy food. Happy Birthday Mom/Mimi we love you!

On Sunday we came home from Palm Springs and went to Kevin's parents' house to celebrate Father's Day. We had wonderful food as always and got to spend good family time with all the wonderful Men/Father's in our lives. We love you all.

So that was the past two weeks in the lives of The Mullaney's. I guess it seems pretty mellow once you write it all down. This coming week should be interesting though. Kevin leaves tomorrow for a guys Vegas trip, my Aunt and Grandma are coming into town for a week today and then my other Aunt and Uncle are coming into town Friday through Sunday. So I'm sure I will have some fun things to blog about soon.

Maryland, Virgina, D.C., and Pennsylvania

Here are some of my favorite pictures from our last vacation.

Fun vacation full of family time, sleeping in, and history!
