MEMORIES for MIMI

I'm "banking" alot of memories this summer and savoring each one!  Hard to believe Landon will be 5 months old on July 3rd!  He has easy smiles, lots of giggles and coos, and is a "hummer" these days.  Mimi thinks he might be teething. 

This week, Cailyn came to visit two days.  We made butterscotch pudding on the first morning she was here.  It was YUMMY!!  Cailyn is a big helper already!

 Please note that the cloth band around her waist (supporting her in the barstool) is one my sister Terry made for me when my babies were little.  And now the second generation gets to use it too! ;-) 

 Licking the spoon and bowl is the best part of this activity!

 Washing dishes runs a close second...fun with soap bubbles and water can't be beat!

 Mimi has a new "pet" at her house.  Clifford the Big Red Dog has come to live with us, and Cailyn was excited to have Clifford join in on a tea party with her and her dolls. Note: the high chair is one our children played with at their grandparents' house years ago, and my mom refinished it for our grandkids to use! Thanks, Great Grandma!!

On her next visit, Cailyn arrived in this cute outfit...

 ready for an arts and crafts morning!  First, we did some painting....
then it was FUN with play dough!!  It's amazing how well she listens to Mimi's rules: "you can squeeze it, squish it, smell it, but do not taste it!"  Well... she only licked it once and then grinned at me! ;-)
 Landon was able to come "hang out" with us after his doctor appointment in the afternoon. Here they are after Cailyn's nap, and it's snacktime with her preferred snack of "o's"  (cheerios, that is!)  Won't be long until Landon will be wanting some o's too!
