I'm later and later every month in posting my round-ups, I swear. But, by golly, at least I'm getting them up. (For me, more than anyone else.) :) But, since you're here, enjoy our March Madness. (Really, it was a pretty great month.)
 |
| 3.1.16 (Cal loves to ride in the "wheel carts" as she calls them - the carts with a steering wheel up front for the toddlers to pretend like they're driving - but this day they were all taken, and honestly I was grateful because with Sam in his carseat, and a smaller than usual basket size in the wheel carts, I would have had zero room for the groceries we came for. Enter: the mini cart. She LOVED this!) |
 |
| 3.1.16 (and she did a surprisingly good job of steering the thing all through the store) |
 |

 |

 |
| 3.2.16 (finally getting to play with the ball set he got for Christmas from Gma and Gpa Elwood) |
 |
| 3.2.16 (they crinkle and rattle and jingle and he loves them) |
 |

 |
| 3.10.16 (Yes, Mom, did you need something?" Most of the time his mouth is wide, wide open - squawking or chewing or smiling up a storm. Until a spoon of food comes at him. Then it's locked tight. Zipped lips, as they say. But just look at that face.) |
 |
| 3.10.16 (outside table time - it's spring!) |
