Big Boy Bed!

With baby on the way in just 3 short months, we decided to go ahead and get Fischer used to his new toddler bed (which he thinks is a very big boy bed!). We were prepared for a few days of a struggle sleeping, but instead, when he saw us putting it together in the living room, he ran and got his puppy, blanket, and pillow to lay on it (even before the matress was there!). He took his nap in it a few minutes later, and hasn't had any trouble adjusting!



He made daddy try it out with him :)


I'm a big boy now!

End of Summer Fun

Last Friday we went to a surprise party for Tabitha at a local Mexican restaurant.

Surprise!


Yummy birthday cake!



That Saturday we went out to Tabitha's parents house for a pool party. Fischer had lots of fun riding the John Deere (daddy had to stay close to steer for him, but their yard is big with nothing to run into).



Ignore the screams in this video...it's just kids playing in the pool behind me and has nothing to do with Fischer on the John Deere.


Playing at the mall on a day too hot to go outside (which has been many lately). This is Fischer's favorite car, so I always bring some quarters for him to ride. However, he never steers, he only sits with his arm around the puppy!


Showing off his mad dance skills in the arcade at the mall (to the music of a game).

More Summer Fun

Fischer loves to run around like a crazy boy on the soccer field with Daddy and Uncle Patrick.

Sooo sleepy...it is a very rare occurrence for Fischer to fall asleep watching a movie in the middle of the day.

Who named this street???

Fischer let me trace him with sidewalk chalk! (and I apologize, he never wears shorts at home...at least he has on his underwear!)

Daddy, Mommy, and Fischer

Hey Jude...

Dustin has been singing "Hey Jude" by the Beatles as a lullaby to Fischer since the day he was born in the hospital. Fischer dearly loves that song now, and often makes me sing it at bedtime, even though I don't know many of the words. Here's his rendition for the camera. (I know he has the verses mixed up, but it's still adorable!)

By the way...he is just sitting on top of the closed potty (that's where he sits to brush his teeth)...I didn't tape this during potty trainig :)

Waterpark Fun!

We start out on the little slides that he can do by himself.

Then move to the bigger slides that we go down with him.

What a wonderful place for kids to play!

Relaxing on the lazy river with daddy.

July Fun

Painting in his underwear :)


An evening walk with daddy.


A trip to the dentist: lounging and watching Sesame Street while the lady prepares.


He actually let her clean his teeth!

He got wiggly towards the end, but a bribe of a new bouncy ball got him through!

Just being cute.

He loves the arcade at the mall...thankfully it doesn't take any money to entertain him!
