When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth

Today while we were driving in the car, Owen asked where dinosaurs live. I told him that they are not alive anymore. He was pretty sad about it, and wanted dinosaurs to "not be dead" RIGHT NOW! We spent probably 3 whole minutes discussing the fact that dinosaurs lived a long, long time ago and that we can see pictures of them in books or skeletons at museums.

Later this afternoon, I was at my mom's house. Owen was having a conversation with my mom about his baby cousin, Elena.

Owen: She has littly tiny teeth, huh?
Grandma Blue Eyes: Yes, you're right, Owen!
Owen: Her teeth are just growing because she is a baby. Hey, you know that I was a baby, long ago, when the dinosaurs lived??

I don't make this stuff up, folks.

I just had to document that because I sure do love that boy of mine.

Amazing

Lexie does NOT like to nap. Whenever I try to get her to go to sleep, she fights it.

Lately, however, when I am NOT trying to get her to sleep, she will spontaneously just do it by herself.

The other morning I put Lexie on my bed so that I could get dressed. I didn't realize it, but her pacifier was nearby.  I left Lexie sitting up and went to grab something in the bathroom. When I came back, she was laying on her stomach with her pacifier in her mouth. She was really still.... and when I got closer, I realized that she had put herself to sleep!

Oh my little Lexie girl... if only you did this EVERY day!  That's okay, Mama still loves you.

Cousin Time!

Last week my niece Chloe came over for a little while. She is the cutest little thing so I had to snap a few pictures while she was with us.

Isn't she pretty?

Thanks for coming over, Chloe! We love you!

Fun With Food

Owen gets a little nature magazine in the mail thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Araiza. He LOVES learning about animals and loves that he gets something in the mail just for him. In every issue there's always a craft/food idea to try. When Owen saw this one, he couldn't wait to try out.

Mom...Seriously... Don't take my picture!

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!!
