Stone Fix

The craziness never seems to end! Just when I thought we had caught our breath from our crazy whirlwind of a month, August, it keeps going and going. Right now is the most busy time of the year for me for work, but it reminds me football is here! I am working on 4 different football promotions (among other things) with my clients right now. 3 college, 1 NFL. Juggling that and being a full time stay at home mommy has been crazy this month, but I'm wrapping up these projects, and we've been able to do some fun things like park time, swim time, splash pad time, etc.

Soooo...are you ready for a Stone fix? I've heard from several people that I need to write a book about this kid. The things he says, the things he does...anyways.

(by the way, I can't seem to write in between pictures. ugh, blogger drives me crazy sometimes! So, endure the text, then scroll to see the pictures).

The other day, I left Stone downstairs for what I thought was 5 minutes, but apparently it was 15. He came in with my phone, turned it to me, and said, "Look Mommy, it's CC" (CC is my mom). I looked at the phone, and he had been talking to her for 7 minutes.

I grabbed the phone to talk to my mom, and she said he had been talking to her for 15 minutes. She called me, and he answered. I did not hear my phone even ring. I laughed, but said, "well, the phone says 7 " (which by the way, is still a long time to talk to a 3 year old!) She then said, "noooo, this is our SECOND conversation"

Apparently, they had been talking, and my mom THOUGHT he said, "just a minute CC, I'm going to watch my movie and I'll call you back." So my mom hung up.

30 seconds later, her phone rang, she picked it up to say hi to me. But it was Stone. HE CALLED HER BACK.

"CC, you hung up on me." haha!! My mom said, "Noo! You said you were going to watch your movie!"

Stone said, "Noooo....I said I was going to turn it down so I could talk to you."

He called my mom out on that one.

So, since I can't write in between pictures for some reason, below is Stone at White Sands. My dad, Cliff, Stone, Emerson, and Danny, all accompanied me to White Sands when I took bridal portraits there last month. Stone had a BLAST. This picture does not do justice to how cool this place is. He is at the foot of the hills, so you can't see the rolling sand dunes. I will soon post the bridal portraits on my photo blog.

In other news, Emerson is cruising. She's on track for Stone's milestones....something we were not pushing for! You may remember Stone started walking at 8.5 months. Oy. She's following step by step. 6 month crawl, standing up soon after, now cruising, and yesterday, she let go of a box she was holding onto, and stood just fine. She looks too small to be doing this!! As you will see in the last picture, she has discovered Stone's old favorite game--emptying out the DVD case

Ohhh...and she's also swinging in swings at the park, eating bananas like crazy, enjoying oranges in the fruit binkey, and absolutely hating baby food, but loving any other kind of food we are beginning to give her.
