21 months: Day 287/365

Yay!: Day 286/365

I was trying to take a picture of my son in his crib because I finally took his crib bumper out and wanted to show him being a big boy. He decided saying "Yay" and doing the touchdown sign were much more fun than posing for his mama.

Computer time: Day 285/365

The kids start multitasking early these days. Working on the computer while chewing on a block means he can play and feel better at the same time.

Is my tongue blue: Day 284/365

The kids decided they needed a little book time before breakfast which I thought was sweet.

Finally eating something: Day 280/365

Cleaning the floors: Day 279/365

We were at my parents' new house moving furniture in and my kids decided to entertain themselves by playing with the mop and broom.

Multitasking: Day 278/365

My son couldn't decide which toy he wanted to play with so he decided to play with them at them at the same time. I know there are many men out there who wish they could be so lucky to play golf while they cut grass.

Mommy-son time: Day 277/365

My son loves to see himself on camera so I was taking selfies of us to pass the time before we picked my daughter up from school. I didn't intend to use any of those pictures but they turned out to be the only ones I took that day so it had to do for my project. And I guess I can't blame the lopsidedness of this one on anyone but myself this time.

Mommy-daughter time: Day 276/365

My daughter complained that I "never take any pictures of me and her together" so we did a quick selfie portrait of us together. She held the phone which explains the lopsidedness of it but she was so proud that she did it herself I couldn't ask for a re-take.

Eating like a big boy: Day 275/365

Morning iPad time: Day 273/365

I usually don't let my son play with my iPad mini because there is no case on it and he's already assisted in breaking the screen on one iPad in the past. But, I needed something to keep him entertained one morning while houseguests were sleeping so I let him have some iPad time on my bed and he was thrilled.

Play date: Day 272/365

One of my husband's friends brought his little guy over to play with my son one afternoon. Despite the look of this picture, they didn't really play "together" yet but both seemed to enjoy pulling the doors and  other parts off the bus.

Close and open: Day 271/365

My son is obsessed with opening and closing things like doors, drawers, and now things with lids. So it was no surprise when I found him trying to close the sidewalk chalk box.

And so it begins: Day 270/365

The trying to wear no clothes phase has begun for our toddler. I walked in to his room one morning and found him trying to take his shirt off while he waited for me to get up.
