ball. bird. shoes. mom.

Bentley can now talk. These are some of the words he says that actually sound like the real thing. He also says plane, flowers, squirrel, dog, and where but they don't sound like the real thing yet.

Both of the kidlets are sleeping which is a complete miracle! Bentley has been jippin' me on the naps lately. He used to take a 3-4 hour afternoon nap and he has decided to mix things up a little bit by only taking one 45 minute nap a day. This doesn't give me much time to recharge and destress. Therefore, I turn into mean, crabby, and very impatient mom. So I will enjoy this small amount of time that they are both sleeping!

What do I do while they sleep? Nothing really. I've seen almost every What Not to Wear episode which saddens me because I really like that show but can't stand watching reruns. Mostly I just sit here wondering when one of them is going to wake up while I down my Diet Cherry Pepsi. I daydream about the stroller I will be purchasing sooner than I thought, I just have to go test drive one before I commit. I check my email, eat my Nutrisystem lunch, and relax. I actually feel guilty that I can't think of anything better to do than blog. Though I should make some banana bread with those bananas in the freezer for my visiting teachees...maybe after I am done here. So now I will leave with some cute pictures of my kids, and Bentley's girlfriend of course.

pictures.

So I finally got pictures from Janni and Marvin from when they came to stay. I unfortunately didn't have a functional camera so I relied on them and their photography expertise to capture the memories of some of the highlights of our summer.

Happy Fathers' Day!
