Monkey boy loves February

This week started in an...um...interesting way. On Sunday we noticed about 20 bees outside of our balcony window. Brian tried to get rid of them by spraying from downstairs, up to the balcony area, but they didn't go anywhere. On Monday there were still a BUNCH of them, although slightly fewer. On Monday night Thor came into the house with his muzzle completely swollen. You could hear when he tried to breath and his eyes were almost swollen shut. My mommy instincts said that something was very wrong. We called an animal hospital, who suggested that we give him Benadryl. Brian went to the store at 9:30 at night to get it and I emailed our vet. Luckily, our vet is amazing and said that we needed to come into the office and he would meet us in the parking lot at 10 pm. He saw Thor and gave him a bunch of shots; if you need a vet in the South Bay we HIGHLY recommend him. In the morning Brian and I looked outside the patio door and saw a TON of dead bees. I thought that there were 16, but Brian says that there were lots more. The pest control came Tuesday morning and rid us of our bee problem. I'm not sure if you can really tell in this picture, but there are LOTS of bees outside.
On Tuesday we went to the Grove to meet Gramma. Gramma took us for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and got Hunter some nice new Spring clothes.


On Wednesday at Mommy N Me, Keagan tried one of Hunter's vegetable puffs. I don't think he's sure if he likes it or not. Regardless, it's a pretty cute expression on his face.

On Thursday Bridget and I were going to go to the park to take the babies on the swings. We were rained out, so we went to the mall instead. I found this wonderful product fo rbaby hair - it's gel. I have decided that Hunter needs a new hairstyle, so he has the "Hunterhawk". How cute is his little mohawk?

Thor is in his usual spot, at the top of the stairs, while Hunter and I play in his room.

The litle man is really into standing these days, and can even stand for a minute without any support. He's cruising all around furniture too.

Thor giving Hunter some love (yuck!)

There was a standoff for the toy. I'd like to think that Hunter would get it if he really wanted it and the dogs would let it be. For the record, it's a dog toy, not a baby toy. But how can we REALLY draw a line?

To say that Hunter wants to "follow in Daddy's footsteps" would be an understatement.

So, now we're in trouble. There is no way to babyproof this dog door. He's only figured out how to get through the first flap (there are 2). Let's hope it stays this way....at least for a little while longer.

On Sunday morning it stopped raining for long enough to go on a walk. It was pretty cold outside, but we had a lot of fun enjoying the short-lived sunshine.

Is there anything cuter than pictures of a baby in the tub?

The Hunterhawk was back in action. He looks pretty happy about it. I also think he looks like a badass. Can babies look like badasses? I think so.

He and the dogs are coming to a mutual understanding: he can pet them and they can lick him (until mommy shoes them away). Thor is being a good sport about Hunter pulling on his ears.

On Sunday night Gramma and Grandpa came over for dinner. We ate outside with the heaters on and it was a perfectly pleasant night.

Doesn't he look like he's laughing at a conversation?

He really loves this car that Gramma and Grandpa got him for Christmas this year. He frequently crawls over to it, stands up and tries to get in it - but he hasn't figured out that element yet.

Daddy and the Pumpkin - it's always shocking to see how big he looks! He'll always be my little 6 lb baby!

It was a quick week - lots to do and lots got done. This week is Valentine's Day - so Happy Valentine's Day to you all! We wish you lots of love, whether it's friend, family, or romantic love - have a beautiful week.

Oh - and here is a super cute video of him laughing in the bathtub: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOsrAD3V0FA
