So far Cy’s 1st words consist of “hi,” “thank you,” and “toot.” Not sure what that says about our family…

InstaFriday–The Way We Roll
Linking up (late) with Life Rearranged’s InstaFriday. Post your cell phone photos and link up too!
We went and saw Harry Potter opening night. This has been a tradition with this guy and gal since the first movie… of course for the first movie none of us had kiddos and we went to the midnight show. Now there are sitters involved, but it works. (We missed you Riffs!!)
Every Sunday after church we head on down to Salt Creek (another tradition).
It’s even better if friends come!
Cy got his first haircut.
Goodbye Canadian Hockey player hello big boy.
Boo!
We go to Souplantation a lot! Then we play.
Sometimes superheros.
Sometimes in the sprinklers.
That giant blue sphere is my baby. I’m huge.
That’s our clean laundry pile. It’s huge.
If you go to Sam’s Club and your pregnant you might walk out with a 6 lb tub of cherries and a 6 lb bag of gummy bears. Best snack ever!
Outdoor picnic and movie at our church. I think this would be the best Summer birthday party idea!!
Favors for my sis’s wedding next weekend. Aren’t lime green and black the best colors ever!!
We went to the OC Fair. It was great. You should go!
Who says you can’t make blocks more fun?? You’re the mom. Do what you want!!
I made 2 turnaround trips to LA’s garment district for Lid stuff.
7 hours in the car and traipsing the streets while the kiddos ask if the sleeping homeless people are dead.
Travel potty was used.
Awesome.
Can’t wait to share the new colors!!
Skeleton Party
The skeletons found the Littlest Pet Shop bin.
How to Use a Straw
(Mondays I like to share something I got. We all like to share a good deal, splurge, unique find or fun activity. If you got something awesome (or lame) recently and blogged about it, be sure to leave me a link to the post in the comments!)
A few people have asked me how Cy was able to use a straw and not a sippy cup (I mentioned it in his health update post), so I thought I would share!
My neighbor, who I have also known since birth, was an occupational therapist for autistic kiddos. I told her how Eli and Cora Jane both had trouble learning to drink from straws. She suggested the Honey Bear Cup, then loaned me one!
Cy learned in one sitting.
It went something like this…
So I totally recommend it!
