Naptime is Beautiful

Kosse loved seeing all his family, showing off his cuteness, and demonstrating his physical accomplishments such as climbing stairs!  Heart attack!  Sometimes he was really tuckered out:

Halfway Treat

Fayetteville is unluckily not a home to a Diary Queen.  Happily there happens to be one located about halfway between Fayetteville and Leavenworth and the kids love to stop there.  The Diary Queen is always listed in the excitement of the trip....

We're concentrating very hard.   Yum..dilly bars!

Where's my dilly bar, moma?

Kosse and Cousins

Sorry for the lack of updating posts.  We've been busy playing and entertaining.  Here are a few new pics:

Moma, quit interrupting for pictures; we're playing here!

Can Gran wrangle them all together?

It's his "I'm a model" face

Could you ask for more cuteness?

Presents from Gran

Gran made this beautiful picture for Kosse and he was very interested in looking at it and patting it.  It looks great hanging on the nursery wall! Thanks Gran!

Visitors

Kosse loves having Gran here to visit and loved having Grandpa for the evening too.  Here Gran is delivering some stomach raspberries and Kosse is squealing in delight:

Uh-oh! Hair pull...

Kisses!

Kosse Conquers Strawberry Shortcake

I've got her in my sights...

Pull hair....

Bite feet....

Bite hands....

Ha Ha Strawberry!

What's that, Moma?

Lately, Kosse is more interested in the camera than ever before.   I get lots of pictures like this:

Boys and Trucks

Playing with Kosse has led me to a conclusion about boys from their birth:


Boys love putting things in trucks...

driving them around to new locations....

dumping them....

Look moma the dumptruck turned into a monster truck and did a flip!  (Check out the joyous smile)

There's No Stopping Me

I'm having miny heart attacks at all the falls and bumps these days... Kosse just goes on normally unphased by most falls.

Just pull up here, straighten legs....

I like this standing business moma!  Soon I'm going to climb the rest of the way up there.
(heart attacks, heart attacks)

No time for more pictures I'm off for my next accomplishment

Beating the Heat

A couple ways we have empolyed to stay a little cooler include:

Donating long hair to Locks of Love or Beautiful Lengths....

and....

100 water balloons for 97 cents, a smiling four year old, and some big fun!  Can't beat that!

Pick me up

Now that Kosse is all over the place crawling and did I mention pulling up in the bathtub and on the couch to stand! he is constantly going, going, going! So I truly treasure when he reaches for me and wants a quick hug or even better to be held a while....the dishes can definitely keep waiting...

Happy Fourth of July!

Kisses everyone! I love you!

Brother in the Bath

Kosse has always been so so about taking a bath but this was his face when he got to sit in the tub with big brother like a big boy too:

Since I'm a fan of things making him smile like this I think this will be our new bathing method!  Honestly I think that even at this age little boys want to be big boys....
