It's been an ordinary week here, which is just how we like it. We did the usual errands-Target, library, bank; Had a couple of play dates; but mostly just laid around the house. Bridget has a new movie obsession, Snow White, which we've watched at least once a day since last weekend. She thinks Snow White is beautiful, gets shy when the Prince comes around, her favorite dwarf is Dopey, and when the Wicked Queen tries to kill Snow White, she laughs. I hadn't seen Snow White in forever and I didn't realize how scary and dark it was. At the library, we checked out Cinderella and the Little Mermaid, hoping that those were a little more cheerful and happy. We'll never know though because she won't let me put those in the DVD player. It's Snow White and Snow White only! All of this Snow White business had me thinking that it would be SO CUTE for them to dress up for Halloween as Snow White and a dwarf! Bridget could easily pull off Snow White with her short dark hair and fair skin. I found some amazing costumes online, but they are a bit pricey. Sure wish I could sew! Bridget says she wants to be a butterfly and I actually bought a costume for Ross last year when I was pregnant. So, buying new costumes seems a bit wasteful, but I don't know...we'll see!
Being a good helper and setting the table with napkins before a cinnamon roll breakfast!
This is what you get when you tell a 2 year old to go and pick some shoes out of her closet. She obviously chose the red, shiny ones that are a size too small!
Have I mentioned before how happy Ross is? Seriously, his cheeks must be sore from all the smiling! His smiles and laughs are so contagious and he is so ticklish. We barely have to nuzzle his neck with our nose and he goes into a fit of giggles! By this age (well, actually long before this age) Bridget wouldn't let ANYONE hold her except Todd and I and maybe her two grandmas. Ross is happy to go to anyone and isn't shy about smiling and laughing with them.
Happy Guy!
Now, he still loves to be held. I mean loves it. He's doesn't play very well on his own like I remember Bridget doing. If I put him on the floor surrounded by toys, I better plan on laying right there with him and being in his face the whole time. He's going to be my child that needs to be entertained all the time, while Bridget will be the independent one who can amuse herself by turning a light switch on and off 100 times. (Yes, this is what she did this morning!) All of the holding Ross and carrying him around can definitely be exhausting, but I know that he'll be walking and running around way too soon and then I'll wish he would let me hold him for just a minute or two.
A quick nap in the Baby Bjorn while down at my parents
Trying out the new sippy cup. I don't think he actually drank anything from it, but he had fun playing with it!
We will be stuck inside most of the weekend thanks to a tropical storm brewing out there. I predict we'll be watching a lot more Snow White!

You know my vote for the Halloween costumes. Bridget would be the PERFECT snow white. While Ross would be perfect with a beard and floppy hat. I'm laughing thinking about it!
Hey, LOVE your new couch. I think we have the same couch only different color. You did not update your blog when you chose your couch just that you were shopping...shame on you! LOL I don't think there is a happier baby...Ross is the cutest, happiest baby I've seen in a long time. Bridget needs to come over to my house and teach Devin how to set a table. What a good, big sister she is setting good examples.
Snow White wouldn't be bad, let her be cute while you still have a say in what she is. As for all of Ross's smiles you can't help but smile back.
