Les at Two (and lots of random pics!!)

The kids have been busy... and keeping me busy! They really are so sweet, but Les has been really giving me a run for my money lately. He is ALL BOY --- rough, rough, ROUGH! He walks around hitting Ceci, pushing her, etc. We are working on this! He is a hoot too. Jonathan tooted the other day, and Les crawled up on the couch and pulled back his shorts to "check his pants for poo poo." Hysterical! Then, he checked his teacher at school! She said it was time to check everyone before lunch, so the teachers were checking for poopies. He went behind her and pulled up her skirt to check her!!! OH MY! She was in tears telling me the story... hilarious! He's been calling Ceci "Ceci Bug" since I've been calling her that. It's SO CUTE to hear him say it. This week, 25 months old, his teacher said he told her he wanted to teetee on potty!! Exciting! I wasn't planning to start training this early (don't ask me why; I just figured I would wait closer to 2.5 yrs)... Looks like it's time to train! Go Les!! He's obsessed with the characters in the movie CARS. Lightening McQueen is his favorite. Typical boy... his love for matchbox!! He LOVES when Daddy comes home. Immediately wants to play with him (and rough!), but he still wants Mommy to put him down every night.:)

We had a playdate at Lucy Kate's... looks like Ceci needs one of these for Christmas!

Nanny & Poppy went to South Africa and brought these cute shirts home for the kids!

Another trip to the zoo! It was HOT!

Riding the concrete ant!

And her too...

Our little man and his localized mosquito allergy! Poor Bubba!!:(

Hanging at the camp with Papa & Mam-ma!!

Lunch date with Meredith Shook!! 

Getting clean!!

She writes so well!! Almost got them all right.:)

Daddy went to the US Open for work. C's cute tee!

Ummm, Les got hand, foot & mouth disease. His reaction was more severe than Ceci's. Poor boy! It took DAYS to start clearing up. Sweet boy still as handsome as ever!!

Les got his first award in school!!!:):):)

Ceci fell out of her bed face first (second time this month). First it was a goose egg to the head, now a busted lip. Her convertible crib is like a foot off the ground. And has a rail! She just gets tangled up in her blanket (we think)... Geez!!

We took family pics a few weeks ago! They turned out great!!

Playdate with Shelby!!

KAPPA DELTA BID DAY!! Ceci went with me to Bid Day this year at USM. She absolutely loved it!! This is an active, Lindsay Carter.

Fun in the photo booth!!

She was being SO silly. She only had 6 glasses of bright blue punch to get her going!!

Hanging with Mrs. Lynds who came in town!

My girl!

Aftermath of another vicious mosquito attack

Ceci loving on Aunt Leah & Aunt Sarah!!

Being sweet:)

Ceci helped brush teeth while Les was getting checked. (When it was Les' turn to play with the big brush, you will never guess... YES, he put it in his mouth. I'm sure it's totally germ-free.)

Sweet, sweet friends waiting for dance class to start. Ceci, Vera & Lucy Kate

Munching at school

Helping Mom bake some cookies with her new cookie cutters!

Les turns TWO!!

Sweet Les turned TWO on August 24th. I can't believe my eyes... he's growing up way too fast.:( His birthday was the day after the baby shower, so we just had lunch at Mam-ma and Papa's and the family who came for the shower was there. It was super fun... simple and sweet!! And most importantly, Les loved it.:) Mam-ma cooked crawfish etoufee and it was AMAZING!!

His well-baby check-up went great. 90%th percentile in height and head size and 80%th in weight!:)

Cuties!

They were being sweet!

I LOVE THESE TWO BABIES!

This is Les' "say cheese" face!:)

Loving on Mom!

With Poppy! He came up and brought me a ton of shrimp to freeze. I asked him to hook me up with some fresh shrimp. He brought the kids some goodies from his recent trip to South Africa.

Nanny & Poppy (and Les' "cheese" face again)

Les is into Nemo right now, so we did a simple, sweet cake. It was delicious!

Nemo head!

Look how precious he is! 

Ceci was having a blast too.

She was helping.

Les wanted the straight sugar Nemo figure on top...

He was pondering taking a bite...

And he did! Sugar rush!

Poor Nemo's nose is gone!

Opening his gifts with some help from Daddy!

He loved being the center of attention (Les:)).

Again, "say cheeeeese"

How cute are these?!?!? Aunt Leah got these for him! Stud!

Excited about his dinosaurs and cars from Aunt Sarah!!

And Daddy got him a John Deer tractor!! He LOVES it!

Surprisingly, he got the hang of it pretty quickly!!

A tricycle from Papa too! Poppy was helping him get it going.

We also celebrated at school with "Cars" cupcakes. Nummy!!

He LOVED the class singing to him. It was precious.

Went for the kill...

Mmmmm....

"Cheeeeese"

Les' teachers Mrs. Allison and Mrs. Heidi. We LOVE them!!

His sweet class...
