The liitle ham

Hi friends and family. It has been a busy couple of weeks because mamma is totally recovered and fully enjoying the wonder of Cesar’s language explosion, Gracie’s evolving cuteness, and a hyper drive to nest before going back to work. Check out the new pictures of Gracie in the beautiful Texas wild flowers. It was an adventure both finding the perfect spot and then getting the pictures (what you don’t see in the picture of me sitting next to Gracie is the extreme agony of multiple stickers stabbing my palms and even making their way through my jeans and into my butt! Ahhh).
Cesar has found yet another way to get his father to do all the work while he fully enjoys the benefits- check him out as he anticipates his first sunset bike ride. C has also fully accepted the fact that being a ham is his ticket to adoring attention. To fully appreciate his quotes of the week you need to reenact them in the proper intonation and voice (while remembering that this is coming out of the mouth of a babe.)

Quotes of the week
This one is said daily when Cesar wants to hold his baby sister. You need to say it with a very deep, manly, and guttural voice, “Mamma, give me my baby!”

Last week C cracked me up when, upon receiving his apple juice, he spun around, raised his hands in the air, and in a very high pitched voice said, “Thank you mamma” and then, in a flirty way, tilted his head and spun back around.

Finally a few days ago C got very mad at me because I closed off the back area of our yard. I explained to him that the only things back there were dangerous and dirty: the garbage, recycling, yard tools, and rocks (big blocks of granite left over from building the wall). Cesar looked at me with the most serious face a 2 year old could muster and said, “but I NEED rocks.”

He keeps all of us fully entertained. More quotes soon.
