Where did that baby come from?- June.

Things have gotten a little out of hand here. There are at least 3 stinky diapers in the trash can stinking up the whole bathroom so bad that no one even wants to go in there, let alone take out the trash. Every single toy we own has been taken out of its proper drawer or bin and scattered all over the house. And apparently, another baby somehow snuck in without anyone noticing!

Just kidding. This is our new friend Audrey. Mama is watching her a few mornings a week while her mama goes back to help out at her old job. Not only do we get to squeeze a cute baby, but now mama has someone to watch us when she needs some time off.

Audrey is almost 7 months old, but still outweighs me. It gets Henry confused because he think Audrey always wants to hold me. Mama doesn't understand how I'm still such a runt because I can really pack it away, although it has slowed down and mama doesn't think I've gained any weight since I started crawling.

Henry is a great help with Audrey and constantly brings her toys to play with and even tried to feed her lunch today.
And in return, Audrey thought everything Henry did was funny.

We think she's funny because she lays on the floor with one leg up while she reads books.

She is one easy baby to take care of. She's been taking a two hour nap when she gets here and then eats lunch and plays quietly for the rest of the morning.

And mama really likes her because she can't move fast enough to get away from the camera.

...Unlike someone we know.

To make up for not posing for mama, I decided to turn on the cute and try on her headband.

Mama said she used to wear her headband like this and pretend she was the blind guy from Star Trek who also hosted Reading Rainbow.
Here's the girliness in action.

Henry likes having Audrey around, but I'm still getting used to it. There are times when I do not like my mama holding another baby. But mostly I only get upset when Audrey is sitting in my high chair eating applesauce.

Henry goes to the dentist- June.

On Monday, Henry had his first visit to the dentist. It was quite a treat, as we visited a pediatric dentist who played Toy Story in the waiting room (that also featured a huge wooden playhouse). The exam was very pleasant and the dentist put Henry right at ease. She showed Henry all of her tools and how she would use them. Then Henry got to pick out the sunglasses he wanted to wear and jumped up on the big pink exam table. The dentist said Henry's teeth look good. He has all twenty and only a few chips (which she said is normal because little kids, especially boys like Henry, are prone to falling flat on their faces).

Henry got a big goody bag full of toothbrushes and floss (floss a three-year-old's teeth? Seriously?) and then the dentist even gave me a goody bag too! I love my new tooth brush.

We asked the dentist about my teeth too. She said that while growing molars first certainly isn't the norm, there isn't any harm in it either.

Before we left, Henry picked out a puppy sticker and a new toothbrush. He can't wait to go back!

The videos are fixed.

I messed something up when copying the links from the YouTube videos, but they're all up now and not just repeats. So enjoy the 4 minutes of video of June slowly eating cake. It's breathtaking!

Our weekend with NaMa and PawPaw- Henry.

"Uncke" Adam and Papa have a picture from when they were little in their Osh Kosh overalls. Now that Juner and I have matching bibs, we tried to recreate it. It started out well.

Then I was lost in a trance. (But Juner is showing off a new skill- pointing. )

Than mama decided I looked like a giant sitting on the step stool.

So we switched, but Papa was too funny to look at mama.

Then Junebug decided she had too much. Looks like we'll have to try again later.

Then we took Nama and PawPaw to the train museum!

And mama was very pleased to discover that the owner of the train yard liked for the constant reminder to "Be Careful" to be present everywhere. Under the round table were the huge painted words "Think=Careful." Mama thinks this could be part of the new decorating theme.

We wish they sold this in the gift shop. Mama would add "Dancing on the stepstool" and "Licking your sister."

Another gem. We'd put this one over the fireplace.

Mama and I climbed on the play caboose to watch a movie about trains.

Mama opened this picture and thought "I don't look so bad. Is my hair really that dark now? I used to be blond. But I could use a haircut. This is really a nice picture." Then she looked at me

The Flue Shop was opened this weekend. Inside it was a car museum. And Sheriff was there!

And Lizzie was there too!

Mama said that if I ate a good lunch we could go to the train store to look at the model train exhibit. It was great and I did a good job not touching the train exhibit that was probably worth thousands of dollars.

The rest of our weekend was great. We went out for barbecue and went to a Wake Forest baseball game. We can't wait to go see more. This morning mama and nama went for a walk at the really old cemetery downtown to look at some really old gravestones while the guys stayed behind and did some jobs around the house. (Do you really think we'd have PawPaw drive all the way down here and not help us out with something?) Now we have a great retractable clothesline in the backyard to show for it.

Thanks for coming to see us Grams Cracker and Trissy Poo! We had so much fun and can't wait to see you again!

Birthday movies-Henry.

Here's the birthday moment. I was lucky enough to get to blow out the candles when June didn't know what to do.

We gave June the choice- birthday cake or the homemade biter biscuit mama made. (She didn't like the first batch and she doesn't like this one either.) Since June has never had a cupcake before, she didn't know how great it is. I knew it- so I tucked it in as fast as I could.

...but once she got a taste, there was no going back.

Finally, she got into the cake. And I got back to being a pistol and mama got back to telling me not to.

After the cake, June was too messy to keep those messy clothes on, so papa took the opportunity to take in some sweet Juner belly.

June's first 1st birthday party.

Nama and PawPaw showed up at our house last night. Today we went to the Science Museum and then decided to celebrate June's first birthday (a week early).

Juner got her first piece of cake. She was very leery of it.

She spent about 5 minutes regarding the frosting with disgust.

"I'm supposed to eat this thing?"

Once mama made her put her finger in her mouth, she decided it wasn't so bad.

Then the heavy eating began.

And the shoveling began.

Pretty pretty princess.

Good to the last crumb.

That's enough food coloring to last a lifetime.

After she cleaned up, Henry helped June open up some presents.

She got a book just like Sadie's that we've been wanting for a long time.

And a new sailor dress! Seriously, this is the most adorable thing we've ever seen.

And finally a doll house. Henry's first reaction? "Where are the cars? I'll go get some to park in it." June was very content to stuff her little people through the windows over and over.

Henry was wound up from his dessert. (When I asked him if he wanted two little cupcakes or one big cupcake, his obvious answer was "I want two little cupcakes AND one big cupcake. That's three cupcakes!" He had to settle for two little cupcakes and two little scoops of ice cream- which he ate whole.)

And to end the night, Henry got to have a movie night and watched "Great Mouse Detectives" with everyone.
