21 Months!


Peter turned 21 months this last week! It is hard to believe that he is almost 2 already! He is still pretty skinny but is for sure getting taller because most of his jeans are recently above the tennis shoes. He is a little chatter box and really loves to read and play anything outside. If we could do those two things and eat yogurt all day he would be one happy boy....lol. This week he has really been impressing us with knowing most of his colors just the last few days. Yesterday Pa (Pete's dad) called and was going to pick up the new tractor from John Deere and drive it out to the farm and was wondering if Peter could go with him. I drove him over to John Deere and loaded him in the tractor and he was so ready to go. The new tractor has a little instructor's seat with little seat belt next to the drivers seat. I figured since the tractor is HUGE and would be going about 25 miles and hour he would be fine. They were so cute sitting next to each other driving away. Peter had a good 45 minutre ride and bounced himself to sleep before they got out to the farm. So funny how boys just intuitively love tractors and big machines..lol. I took a few pictures of him "driving" it once I picked him up at the farm. He cried the whole way into town because he didn't want to leave.

We have tickets for the San Antonio Rodeo that a friend gave us for this week. I always enjoy going and it will be good for us to have a night out without the munchkin!

For those of you who know Lucy (our poodle) she has been super depressed since we moved into the new house because we have a nice backyard full of squirrels, birds, and occasionally the neighborhood cat, BUT she can't go outside and chase them because we usually aren't here most of the day. She had a doggy door at our old house and loved the freedom. We needed to replace our back doors because of wood rot since we moved in but just did it yesterday and Pete installed a new doggy door. She has been so hyper and running in and out whenever she sees anything. She is once again QUEEN of the backyard and so happy about it. She doesn't do too bad for a 13 year old poodle.

Here are a few pictures from the week! Enjoy!



NOT potty trained or anywhere close, just wants to try every once in a while...this particular day he tried for about 20 minutes so I thought I might as well take some pictures. :)
