Silly Boy
My silly boy has added a new word to his vocabulary. He now says uck (yuck) for mostly everything I try to feed him. He has become the most frustrating "eater" and I have felt I am out of tricks to get him to eat. He use to eat everything I gave him but now I have to puree and hid veggies whenever and however I can. We have a preventive care visit today so hopefully the doctor will have some helpful hints, I am hoping he will begin to grow out of this or else the poor boy is going to live off of peacher, pears, peanut butter, and yogurt!

21 Months. . . eeekkkk!
I can hardly believe that I almost have a 2 year old. . . omg!! We have had a blast so far this summer, I have enjoyed spending each day with my little man. We have been very busy enjoying swimming lessons, Little Monkey Business, Wonderscope, Zonkers, park play dates, and Deanna Rose. I am hoping to sneak away to the Topeka Zoo sometime before school starts, hopefully the weather will cool down a bit so we can go. Owen and I are also leaving next week for Louisiana for a week to visit nonnie and pop! While we are there we are going to go to the circus with my three nephews and niece.
You have grown so much this past month.
*You can point to your nose, ears, eyes, tongue, teeth, mouth, belly, and booty ;)
*You prefer to only use "adult" silverware
*You can say mom, mommy, daddy, papa, no, go, hot, dog, puppy, shoes, shoot em (grandpa Vince can have credit for that one), ewww stinky, book, trash, ouch, choo choo, drink, paci, baby, that, this, eat, one, two, and three, (I am sure there are more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head
*You have really started to enjoy books and will grab them off the shelf for me to read
*You "quack" like a duck although it sounds more like a monkey
*You are OBSESSED with "choo choo" trains, you have started a collection of Thomas toys and clothing
*You jumped into the pool for the first time and went off the diving boards (with mommy/daddy's help of course)
*You can follow directions and understand simple commands like "go and get your milk", "hand that to daddy", etc.
*You are still a horrible, picky eater so I have to hide veggies in your food
*You give the best kisses and enjoy passing them out to whoever is willing to receive them

Wonderscope
Wonderscope is an amazing place for any child to visit. There are several "rooms", each with their own unique theme. We first visited the ball and ramp room which Owen LOVED!! He had a blast gathering each golf ball and placing it on the ramp for a chance for it to make it into the goal. We spent the majority of our time in this room, he is a lover of all things balls!
We stopped for a quick detour to play with the "choo choo". Pictured with Owen are his friends Brody, Maverick, and Rayleigh. We met there mommies here for a play date. . . they had a blast together!
We spent a little bit of time in the music room, they had a ton of fun (LOUD) instruments to play.
Lego Land was next on the list, this was a favorite of the boys.
They also have a water, art, and farm to market room. We had a BLAST at Wonderscope and can not wait to go back with daddy. Owen had a wonderful time with his friends and they had a great time playing together.

Park Visit and Magic Show
Owen and I spent Tuesday with my amazing friend Dana and the little girl she watches Annie. We started the day playing at a park and then we headed to McDonald's for a magic show. Owen loved the park but he wasn't real thrilled with the idea of sitting down and watching a magic show. Ronald McDonald did a great job performing for the kids, it was a wonderful afternoon spent with great friends.

Warn or Should I Say "Warm" Out
This summer stuff is exhausted. . .
I will find any "comfy" stop to relax in, even by the kitchen window sunbathing with the dogs.
