Another summer adventure

Yesterday being a rainy day, we took some time to go become members of the library in Noblesville. Easy enough getting all signed up with a card, and then we went to check on the children’s department. We played for a bit, read some board books, then began to look through the regular stacks. This is when LB’s library genes kicked in. He’s in pure “gimme that book” heaven in the picture book aisle. Good thing I’ve had so much training shelving books, ha ha! He’s a future library page…I can feel it!!!

Sunshine on my shoulder?

One of LB’s favorite hang-outs is on Daddy’s shoulders. He has a grand time up there, seeing sights from a different perspective, resting his chin on Daddy’s head, and generally enjoying the ride. So I figured, if he can sit on Daddy’s shoulders, why not mine?

Here’s why not:

And Daddy tallies up another reason why it’s good to be bald! :-)

Oh, and I’m hoping my hairdresser doesn’t see this…boy do I need some more color!

LB’s Guatemalan-ness

To cap off the previously-blogged-about trip to Chicago, we stopped at Enrique’s favorite Guatemalan bakery. I do have to say, he was quite modest in his selections this time and only brought out a few bags of baked deliciousness for us to enjoy. With LB missing out on his toast for the weekend, I decided some Guatemalan bread would be a nice post-lunch treat for him. Apparently so did he!! Here’s what I’m sure he was thinking during this new dining experience…

“This is a pretty big piece of bread, Mom, but I’ll give it a try.”

“Here we go!”

“Mmmmm. That’s good stuff!”

“Mom, I love this stuff! Can I have some more, please?”

“Man, that’s tasty. Delicious! Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm. What’s that you say? I have something on my lip?”

“Lemme just wipe that off! Thanks for the yummy treats, dad!”

LB’s First Big Trip

We enjoyed a beautiful trip to Chicago this weekend to visit with my friends from Valpo and their families. This was LB’s first big car trip, and needless to say, we were well-prepared (read: so much crap in the Accord we almost couldn’t fit the baby in the car). He was quite the traveler! We enjoyed catching up with our friends, visiting Brookfield Zoo, and playing at the local playground. It was also great to see all the various kids playing together! I know LB will enjoy getting to know them even better as he grows.

LB also did a great job staying in a hotel for the first time. This bodes will for future trips for us. Yay! He slept quite nicely in the hotel pack-and-play despite the Arctic-blast-AC and snoring mommy close by.

We even had enough time to stop by and visit our Chicago cousin LB, Josh, and Karen. They were busily preparing for Sunday Night Dinner, but let us come and take a pit-stop and lunch-break for our little one. It was really good to see them again and take a gander at their baby-fied place.

So here’s to the Krohse-Popps for hosting a fine weekend, and for our first successful road trip. World, here we come!

If you need a good pick-me-up, give these videos a little click! LB was in an even happier mood than usual today, so enjoy him along with us! :-) I think this is the sound I’ll hear in heaven one day.

Clothes

Yep, my clothes are too big! Kids’ clothes are strange that way. I can still fit in a few of my three month fashions, but lately mom’s been breaking out some nine month items to add to the old wardrobe. Regardless, I’m pretty darn cute. I’m sure I’ll grow into these soon enough! Have a great day!

Yeah Toast!

LB’s favorite new food is toast. Plain, dry, crunchy toast. If he had his druthers, he’d like to shove the entire piece in his mouth at once, but I usually break it into little pieces for him. At lunch today, he snarfed down more of this new favorite staple. And just for kicks, I decided to see what he’d do with a rather large piece. Behold…

And, of course, every time LB’s enjoying some toast, I can’t help but remember back to Heywood Banks’ memorable song, “Yeah Toast.” So for all those toast lovers (or Bob and Tom lovers) out there, enjoy Mr. Banks at his finest…

Awwwwww!

Tonight, after LB was soundly asleep in his crib (or so we thought), I kept hearing songs from his GloWorm playing. Now any of you who know your GloWorms know that they only play one song at a time, and each song is played by pressing on Glo’s belly. So either LB was up there playing with Glo, or he was up there laying on Glo while sleeping soundly. Since I couldn’t imagine the first scenario happening without a whimpering LB, I decided to go investigate. Indeed, LB was sound asleep on his belly with Glo tucked tightly under his right arm. As Enrique and I gazed at this adorableness, he moved ever so slightly, sending Glo into a sweet rendition of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Life is good!

Swimming! LB has his own little turtle pool, complete with a water spray. He doesn’t so much like the ice-cold water spray coming directly from the hose, but does enjoy a nice dip after the water’s warmed up in the sun for a bit. Enjoy our latest swim with us…

Attention!
