life in pictures...

Life in pictures... I'm thinking about making that the new title to my blog. Not really, but the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking that's all I have time for these days, if that.

Anyhow, Today is Todd's 30th birthday, and what better way to spend your birthday than with your baby boy on the tractor? (That is if you have to work anyway, I did try to talk him into calling in sick this morning, but he wouldn't do it.) Tony was so excited too when I was driving him over to Todd, as soon as he spotted the tractor he got all giddy and started saying "da-da"

He even has is own little seat in the tractor.
Todd and I figured Anthony would like tractor rides some day, but we didn't realize it would start this early, we thought maybe next year or the year after. He has actually gone on several already, and is content for a couple hours just riding. (which is good for me)


Tony enjoying a little cool whip. Last night we had angel food cake with strawberries and whip cream for Todd and Jason's (francie's boyfriend) birthday. Normally Tony would eat all the cake and then want seconds, but he wasn't so fond of angel food cake. He did however eat the cool whip face first!

Here they are being sweet, happy, and content not being held by me, a real rarity these days.



After eating cake with no hands last night, he decided to eat his snack the same way today. I hope he doesn't make a habit of this, it's rather messy. I guess as long as he's eating though, I'm happy.Baby Bella
This was Todd's tractor when he was a little boy. He gave it to Tony last week and he loves it, we can't keep him off of it. He's a little too small for it, he can't sit on the seat or reach the pedals and he can only go backwards in it, but he is so happy to have it. Maybe next winter the two of them can fix it up a bit with some John Deere paint.



Here is Bella in the Bumbo chair for the first time. She isn't quite strong enough to hold her head up all the way and her hair is still wild as ever.
