Anybody remember this tiny little boy?

Sweet

Any debate whether the ice cream or Kosse is sweeter?

Watch me go!

Where You Go, I Shall Follow

Kosse was playing on the floor in the living room while I was catching up on laundry (ugh...) Anyway I went into the bedroom to hang a few items in the closet when the next thing I know...

What's going on in here?

Do you need my help?

Ok,  I came, I saw.....

I'm outta here! 

After this occurrence,  I'm seeing things left around the house in a whole new light. Definitely time to make sure everything is Kosse safe!

The World is Wide Open!

Kosse isn't exactly crawling but he scoots backward and slides around on his butt and gets anywhere he wants to go...I looked at him and he was playing with some toys on the play gym I set down.   I strategically placed it a distance from the coffetable and bookcase and hard floor etc.  Next I hear a crash accompanied with a delighted squeal and look up from the computer blog and this is the scene of my very proud baby boy:

Well, I got them from the bookcase..now to spread them out!

Hi moma look what I found!

What's next?

No,  I don't plan on helping clean up....I've got a world to explore!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Chuck!

Happy Birthday, uncle!

I'll give smiles for cake and ice cream!

Is Slobber a Help?

On our way on the latest trip to the library (where incidentally they have plenty of puzzles out on the tables for the kids and Ky must do every one before we leave), Ky asked me if I thought Kosse could help him do the puzzles.   I told him I was certain Kosse would love to play with him but he might not be too much of a help until he gets to be a little older. 

This is Ky hard at work:

This is Kosse and his puzzle piece:

After puzzles there was a singer/guitar player that writes and performs songs directed toward kids.  The boys loved her and I loved watching them love it!  We checked out our books and headed for home.  There was a few minutes of silence from the backseat (trust me a rarity that causes me to do a back and downward glance in the rearview) when Ky told me that at first he didn't think Kosse really helped that much with the puzzles.  But now that he thought about it he guessed maybe the slobber helped the pieces to slide in their spot better.  I must say,  I love how little kids think!

I'm Kissable!

Come closer; I'll tell you a secret.....

My cheeks need kisses!

A 4 Year Old's Life

Lots of fearless climbing

Lots of sliding

and sliding

joyous sliding!

50 cents invokes huge smiles

Eating the last piece of cake from the pan is a treat

4, 30, or 50 who doesnt view a dish of ice cream as a treat?

Kosse Wants to Go!

Kosse wasn't crying during these photos but he was telling us a very intense story about what he thought:

Listen here,  I don't appreciate being held to one spot....

Why am I stuck taking pictures when I have a world to explore?

I've got to escape!  I've got places to go!

Ahhh! Help me!

I love my super boys!

Happy Birthday Auntie Mellanee!

We love you Auntie!  Happy Birthday!  (We're saying cheese!)

I think he's trying to steal my spotlight!

Happy Birthday Auntie Amber!

Happy Birthday Auntie!  Here's a birthday hug and slobber!

I love you! kisses!

An Owl for Kaleb

The first thing I ever bought for Kaleb while I was pregnant was a blue owl pillow.  While Kosse and I were browsing the plants at Lowe's   ( I might have a small houseplant addiction),  we found this perfect small owl to take to the cemetary:

I inspected it and slobbered it and it's ready for brother!
