Happy Friday

Don't even think about messing with me! Do you see my earring? I'm one tough dude!

 

All smiles - notice Santino's teeth poking through?

 

Playing side by side
 

Santino is always trying to crawl into the bathroom.

 

Tonight he was crawling on the table. Repeatedly. Going after Maximus' pancakes & water.

Rob had to keep pulling him back across the table.
"Oh Maximus...that looks really good!"


"No fair, Mama. Why can't I have some pancakes?"

 

During lunch today, Santino was sitting in his high chair and Maximus said, "I love that baby sitting there. He got a funny face."

 

Since Rob has been so sick lately, (3rd round of antibiotics in the past month), Maximus will say to him, "You got to get better Papa. You need to go lay down and rest." Or he'll say, "You need to eat something Papa."

 

That M is a thoughtful boy. Oh, but there are times when he'll push my buttons...when he's goofing around and I've asked him to do something one too many times. Then he senses my frustration (or a possible time out coming) and he'll come over to me and give me a hug and say, "I love you, Mama."

 

He also knows how to melt my heart when he tells me I look pretty. Or if he asks for something and adds, "pretty mama" at the end of the request. For example, "Can I have some cookies, pretty mama?"

 

Here he is getting all cozy with his animals and blankets.

 

It's pretty hard to resist that face!
