Since this is my 3rd attempt at a post, I give up on a creative blog title

She's not exactly looking at the camera, but this is a good picture to show off her eye color. Gus had green eyes when he was Cleo's age, so my guess is she will have blue. We will see.

Cleo doing what she loves...hanging in the Exersaucer outside by the wind chimes. She loves the wind chimes.

Grrrrr...I'm super annoyed with this blog. It will not let me upload a video. I've literally tried 3 or 4x now and I give up. It was a super cute video of Cleo scooting across the floor. Oh, well. Maybe it was too large of a clip. It's still annoying that I spent all that time waiting for it to upload only to have it freeze. Ok, I'm over it now. Thanks for listening.

The weekend was great. I went to Wichita to visit Kelly and had a great time catching up. We had a beer at Kirby's. I had never been and I really enjoyed it. It had the same cozy feel of the Replay or the Beachwood (Chicago bar). We watched the tournament which was so fun to watch with Kelly, and we got to eat out (without the kids...gasp!), so that was a treat, seriously. I also got my Solomon fix. I saw him for a bit before he went to Kelly's Mom's house. He's so freakin' cute. I could have played with him all day. And then KU won on Sunday, which of course made the wknd so sweet! Positive vibes for a win over MSU Friday night...

The weather here has been so lovely, but I'm afraid it's going to be chilly this week and weekend (in the 40's...yuk). I wish it would just stay in the 70's. We had an amazing thunderstorm last night, too, and the winds were insane! It was so fun to listen to. I really love spring thunderstorms. I don't so much love the tornado warnings that sometimes come with them, but that's to be expected in Kansas. I'm sure we will get a bunch of warnings once Andy goes out of town. He travels a lot coming up, and we always joke that when he's out of town someone either gets sick or there's a tornado or bad storm. It's true.

St. Patty's Day

I always look a bit tired in photos...b/c I am!

Molly has a grip on her cousin.

Rory and Cleo. We took Cleo's pants off b/c it was so hot. I wish I could get away with that when I overheat.

This is the second time I've posted this. The first time my laptop decided to freeze up and ignore my commands, so I had to restart the computer. Fun times. I'm surprised I have the patience to do this again. Here goes!

So today is St. Patrick's Day and we went to the parade downtown on Mass Street. We met my Mom and my niece and nephews, as well as Hannah, Ash and Eloise, Hannah's parents and Mo and Zeke. It was fun and the parade was very Lawrence (quite a variety of crazy and fun floats!) We then went out for lunch w/ my Mom and the kids. Gus and Cleo were so sacked by the time we got home that they were both in bed before 7pm tonight. They are sunkissed, too. It was 80 degrees! Rock on.

Little tidbits

A few random things about the kiddos that I'd like to capture:

• As I was rocking Cleo to sleep the other night, Gus came into her room and said the following: "Penis? Where are you penis? Mom, where's my penis?" It was, needless to say, amazing.
• Cleo is sitting up all by herself now, which is fun. She isn't crawling yet, but she rolls all over the place and is kinda scooting on her stomach (backwards).
  
• We've started giving Cleo and Gus baths together. At first Gus didn't really like it--he wanted the bath all to himself. Now he requests that they take a bath together. We put Cleo in her infant bathtub, sitting up, and Gus sits in the regular bathtub. It works well, and they both love it. Gus will give her toys to play with, and she splashes all over the place, which cracks Gus up. She LOVES the bath so much. It is so fun. I should take photos. They will both kill us someday for the photos, I'm sure! :)
• Tonight at dinner Andy told Gus he was going to get a timeout b/c he wouldn't eat any of his dinner, and he was throwing his food around the table. Gus then said, "I want a timeout, Dad. Can I have timeout now?" Yeah...
