What I'm working on right now.

Thanks be to the Organization Gods (aka the lovely people at California Closets) for changing my life. Okay, they just changed our coat closet, but still...

I am on an organizational high and shoe storage cubbies are my drug of choice. The basketballs are now tamed in a pull out wire basket. The doors are still off awaiting a new ball bearing track system, but I actually don't mind it without doors.

New picture mural in the upstairs hallway. Warren and Jack's Petite Lemon poster prints will soon join Nolan's.

Warren's birthday mailers are all set to go out! A little bummed that I already had them done before I could add that he went to the shooting range for the first time and shot like a pro, but oh well. I am super happy with them... look for them in a mail box near you in a couple weeks!

Watching in amazement as this little guy really takes off verbally. He is talking so much! Even said "I love you" to me last night. Awwww. Love that! Here are some of his favorite words of now:

[mimicking mommy at the computer. "click"]

[realizes he's getting his picture taken. "cheese"]

Cheese
My/mine
More
Car
Ball
Uh-Oh
No-No
Daddy!
Ben (his neighbor buddy)
Outside
Up
Food
Ba Ba (yeah he still drinks bottles)
Choo Choo (his bedroom is train-themed)
Bye (he dropped the Bye-Bye and now just says Bye, he's so big)
Hi!
Gun (if you have to ask you don't know our family very well! :) )
Park
Cracker
More
Mmmmm...Good (says this almost every time he eats a bite of cracker or cheese)
Jack (hasn't quite figured out how to even attempt to say Warren yet)
Go!! (this is what he says to me every morning when he wants me to get out of bed and go downstairs with him. I affectionately call him my demented little alarm clock)
Juice (he very rarely actually drinks juice but for some reason this is what he says when he wants a sippy of water to drink)
Shoes (he says this all whiny when he wants to go outside)
Sock! (this is exclaimed anytime his sock comes off. sometimes he strings two words together and says "sock uh-oh".)
Sit
Bath
Splash-Splash!
Bubble (this is a very new favorite since we broke out the super miracle bubbles the other day... I have to hide them from him!)

He has lots more words but these are his favorites that I for certain hear every day. Don't get me wrong, he still does more than his fair share of pointing and grunting and whining and looking at me like I should just be able to read his mind, but we're getting there!
