A La Carte

Billy has learned to give kisses!  If he is in the mood and you make the kissy sounds at him, he’ll lean his little open mouth at your lips.  It is very sweet, yet can be very slobbery!

I got this bean bag for Ricky some time ago and with all the baby paraphernalia around, it’s been living in storage.  I pulled it out a week or so ago and Billy thinks it is delightful!  He crawls over to it and leans back, sometimes hitting it, sometimes landing on the floor.  Billy loves playing with these cat toys (feathers on a stick) and our cats love that he loves playing with them–they pounce all around him which just makes him giggle!

And another top ranked toy–the remote controls!

We had a fun St. Patrick’s Day.  Trying to teach Ricky about some of these holidays is a little harder than I thought it would be, but he had fun hearing about leprechauns and eating green food (pudding is on his okay list) and even catching Poppy without green on and pinching him!  Don’t we all look great in green?

We call this position “free spankings.”  Billy thinks it is funny (you should hear his giggle)!

We are having some warm weather and the mud is dried so we have headed outside.  Both boys think that it is the best thing ever!  Ricky is exploring and Billy just crawls and crawls heading in no particular direction!  Here is Ricky after he discovered “Bambi’s momma” in Grandmama’s backyard!

Billy will most likely not be a roller coaster enthusiast.  I’ve discussed his dislike for shopping carts and his stroller, but this week we saw it with the swing.  He was not happy about being put in it . . .

and he was less happy about it moving . . .

and then he went to his happy place and accepted his fate that he was stuck in the swing for a while.

Ricky often doesn’t want anything to do with feeding Billy, but he decided he wanted to help the other day.   Billy didn’t mind.

His aim was pretty good, too.
