The awesomeness of being close to cousins for day trips to the zoo! Not sure who was more wild- the animals or our children!

Dinner & Dancing
Here’s a glimpse into our evenings. We sing, we dance, we use kitchen utensils as props and we boss around Alexa. Just your average night in the Phillips household.
We Will Rock You, YMCA, Bob the Builder Theme Song and Baby Shark are fan faves in this house!

Mr. Independent
Andrew’s riding a bike and Teddy’s driving the Jeep. So much independence!
Yes, you heard correctly. Andrew is signing ‘Frosty the Snowman.’ Too soon for winter!

Toe-ma-toes
While we’re EXCELLENT at growing weeds, but apparently we’re not so bad at growing tomatoes either. And even a few peppers too!
So happy to see these guys picking vegetables in the garden…. now if they’d only eat the damn things!

Bye bye baby
Someone is tiring of his high chair….the beginning of the end of baby for Teddy!
Very mixed emotions. And no, weren’t not having a 3rd!

Captain Mike and Skipper Drew!
Long-time friends invited us on their boat last Saturday for a cruise around the bay during our weekend visit to LBI. Andrew was very excited to talk about the boat, ride in the boat, ask questions about the boat and even drive Captain Mike’s Boat! He even used his favorite boating phrase ‘aye aye Captain!,’ when addressing Mr. Mike.
Teddy was another story. I mostly think he hated the life vest but it was hard to tell…
Papa and the boys also gave a try at fishing. All they caught was seaweed and sass from Teddy!
Thanks for a fun morning Miss Pam and Captain Mike!

Ridin’ Solo!
Andrew took some big strides this weekend!
Everyone is clearly VERY PROUD of his accomplishment!

Only Child-ish
Andrew spent the weekend with CoCo and Papa leaving Teddy all alone with his tired (more on that later!) parents for the weekend. My observations:
(1) He’s clearly the 2nd child who is used to the built-in entertainment of an older brother. The cardboard boxes were a poor consultation prize…
(2) He’s smart! Teddy seized the opportunity to play with Andrew’s favorite Buzz Lightyear, sit in his chair, drive the jeep, watch his trains and even snuggle with Mommy all by himself. Shh! Don’t tell Andrew!
(3) Andy and I are way more relaxed with #2 than #1. On a few occasions we found him upstairs playing with his toys. I want to say that we knew where he was the whole time but that would be a lie….
Big brother returns tonight and I’m sure the decibels will crank up when they’re reunited!
