My Little Stinker!

Yes, my little stinker climbed out of the crib! I don't know why, but I honestly thought that he would stay in his crib until he was three. He, of course, had his own plans. On Friday night Ryan put Cannon to bed when I was at work. Ryan left Cannon in his crib to go downstairs to get his blanket and some water. When he returned, he found Cannon running around upstairs! Luckily, his crib was able to be lowered one more, but I think we are just delaying the inevitable. I'm REALLY not ready for him to move to a toddler bed, partially because I don't want to mess with his good sleeping habits and also because we will really have to baby-proof his room so he doesn't kill himself in the middle of the night. We'll just have to wait and see how long it takes him to figure out how to climb out again.

My little stinker has also decided to be a daredevil. While I was at work today, Kristina and Kylene took all the kids to the park. The boys wanted to go down the big slide and Kristina went down with Cole first. Instead of following behind, Cannon decided to walk off the 5 foot ledge! He got the scare of his life, but was otherwise fine. Kristina and Kylene were so freaked out that they took off all his clothes to look for any injuries, but they couldn't find a mark on him. I have no idea how he didn't break something or get hurt! I attribute that to his guardian angels. I also blame Ryan, since it's in his genes. Ryan has random scars from doing dumb things like jumping out of a window or jumping off the monkey bars when he was a kid. He also has a metal plate in his foot, because it shattered when he jumped off a balcony. I was hoping that this wasn't a sample of things to come, but then I remembered that a few weeks ago Cannon leapt off the counter twice in the same day. The first time was in the bathroom when I was putting on my makeup. The second was at Beverly's house and when he fell, he hit his head on their metal trash can causing it to dent. I was standing right next to him both times, but I guess that's why you shouldn't set your kid on the counter.


I got this cute picture of the boys in their matching outfits after church on Sunday. I recently bought this sweater for Cannon at a consignment shop. When I showed Kristina what I bought, she had to remind me that I had purchased the same one for Cole before he was born! It was part of my baby shower gift. That was like the time I bought the one cent ties, but we never got a picture of them wearing them. In fact, I bought the ties the same day that I bought Cole's sweater and I wasn't even pregnant yet!



Just a random picture of Blue Girl. I put Cannon's t-shirt on her just for kicks and giggles. I thought that she would feel ashamed or try to bite it off, but she actually didn't care. She wore it for a couple of hours until Ryan came home and felt ashamed for her and then took it off.

Gotta Love Texas!

Why? Because in the same week it can be 80 degrees and 17 degrees.

Sunday:

We play outside and go for a family walk.





Monday and Tuesday were also warm.

A cold front comes in on Wednesday and on Friday we wake up to this:



Underneath the snow was a layer of ice, so all the schools and most of the city shut down for the entire day. Lucky for us, Ryan was able to stay home and play!

We bundled up and headed out for the snow! When Cannon first saw the snow he said, "Oh! Wow!" I loved his reaction, however, Blue acted like there was nothing different.







He kept taking off his mittens, so he learned the hard way that mittens keep your hands warm. His hands got so cold he started to cry and he kept saying, "Hands! Hands! Cold!"



We came inside and drank hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows (BTW, Cannon is obsessed with marshmallows).



And Blue got warm in her blanket.

Today, Saturday, was fairly warm again-in the 60's. I LOVE Texas!
