Roxie Jane 8 Months

Roxie is 8 months old and she has almost 4 teeth and she is crawling all over the house. Martin and I play the game " Where in the house is Roxie?" She is always under the table in the dinning room. Time is flying by way to fast!!

Word of the Day

Martin and I were playing in Grandma Wimmers pool and after one hour it was time to go in. I wrapped Martin in his towel and and went to open the pool gate.

Me: Martin please hurry up we need to get inside and go home.
Martin: Mom I can't move (tripping over the towel.)
Me: I will fix the towel Martin but we need to get inside. Please Hurry Martin.
Martin: I'm SlOWLKING MOM.
Me: Your what Martin? I'm SLOWLKING?
Martin: Yes Mom I'm slowlking. I'm slowly walking to you.
Me: OK.

The word of the day is Slowking: Meaning Slowly walking.

Pool Boy

This year Martin has gotten more daring when it comes to going in Grandpa and ma Wimmers pool. Today however it wasn't the going in the pool that was daring it was his eye wear. Martin put on his daddy's goggles and decided to run around Grandma's home chancing me and growling calling himself batman. It was so funny and I wish I could have gotten it on tape but the pictures are the best I can do. They are from my I-phone so the quality isn't the best and Martin would not stand still for a second.

I love being a Mom and I have the best little 3 year old around!!
