Walking, Worms & Sippy Cups...

Well I know it's going to happen; my last baby is going to grow up, but does he have to do it so darn quick?! Jack has been interested in and using his sippy cup for water for awhile now but last night he was making some serious attacks at trying to get to TJ's sippy cup so I gave it to him (it was empty) he would suck then take it away and look at it; then suck again then take it away and look at it; finally after like 3 times he looked at it with his little eyebrow frown so after we all had a good laugh I gave him some water and he just loves the sippy cup! am going to get a supply of sippy cups this weekend. He doesn't need the ones with handles he likes any of them so I am going to start using those more and more! I can't wait! Bye Bye Bottles! Then to top that off last night he was playing with one of TJ's toy's. I look over because I notice movement and Jack is pushing the toy then WALKING behind it but because it is low to the ground he is bent over at the waist so I of course scream o my god he is walking so I quick grab his walking/push toy thing and sure enough he pushes it a couple times and walks behind it! Then plop on his butt so I didn't get a chance to get it on any type of film but can I just say I was so excited! He is going even earlier than TJ! I think it will be anytime now that he is totally just walking around! He is not even 8 months old yet! Why is he trying to grow up on me so quick! He is the super bestest baby in the world! So happy and laid back! TJ was a great baby and I thought this is going to be the "bad" one because you don't get good babies all the time well move over who ever said that because I got a good 1st baby and a super duper 2nd baby! Another reason I am saying my blessings and stopping ahead of the game! LOL! NO MORE BABIES HERE!

Now having two boys I have tried to prepare myself for the world of stinky, sweaty socks, smelly bodies and funky smelling hair even after just having a bath (it must be something in the boys that make their hair smell blah after playing outside; you know kinda like a wet dog! LOL! It's a boy smell)..sports, cuts, bruises, trips to the ER (twice here already for stitches and glueing) but BUGS - YUCK! I just can not, will not, refuse to handle BUGS. TJ LOVES BUGS, he loves worms, all of that stuff. I hate touching them; any of them! He picks up catapillers, worms, SLUGS! I have lost several pieces of tupperware to home slugs and worms! I slept with worms on my nightstand last night! My mom got him the bug house thing that comes with a vacume for christmas and I have already replaced the batteries in the bug vacume and the bug house is now home to a spider and a criquet (sp) the size of my thumb! GROSS! I am telling you if you have not had boys or are just starting with boys brace yourself! They are born with dirt under their fingernails and a need to dig! The pictures say enough.
