If Dogs Could Talk...

Zeus would say, please HELP ME!!

Long post

Toddlerism has really set in at the Bunte house. Lane started mid June really stepping it up a notch in the no no no , mamama, miiiiinnneee department. I've been reading and talked to alot of my mommy friends and they say right around this age they really get "stubborn". It made the move kinda stressful for me, but I'm glad to say that this past week went well and things have mellowed out a bit. I was kinda nervous since Jay was going back to work from his 42 day hiatus. I've been reading and rereading Toddlerwise and What to Expect the Toddler years. Both have been very helpful but Toddlerwise more so. It tries to help you understand more of how a toddler thinks and gives some great ideas and tips for activities, daily schedules, and discipline which I am getting better at. You kind of have to after your child refuses to listen to you over and over again (when they are doing something that could harm them).

Lane really is a smart cookie and knows EVERYTHING I say to him or ask him to do. I couldn't even tell you his vocabulary count but it's definitely over 100 words. That doesn't mean he's saying one hundred words but he knows sooo much. He talks to me all day, reads to himself out loud, talks to people while we are out and loves loves loves kiddos! Next week I am going to get him re registered with CYS on Fort Sill so he can go to childcare twice a week for a few hours. We did this back in Fort hood every Wed for 4 hours and I think it's good for Lane not to mention he likes interacting with others.

Wow, I'm rambling. We miss everyone and can't wait to see ya'll soon.

Lane loves to get in my make up with me

Daddy on his first day back. Kinda weird to see him in his ACU's again.

Lane has been itching to get Jay's boots on since he's had to start wearing them to work. He loved them and was even able to lift them off the floor a bit. Trust me these are HEAVY.




I just can't ever get enough of my little sweetie every day.

Lane at Sam's

Quick little video from our Sam's club trip. We went down an aisle with fans, and of course Lane was mesmerized. He is too cute.

Finally an update

Sorry for the long delay in updating. It's been a long couple of weeks packing up our house in Killeen and moving to Oklahoma. We are finally here and settled in. So far, this place makes us miss Killeen (never thought I would say that) but we are finding more and more things to do everyday.

Jay starts class on Monday and officially goes back to work after taking off 41 days. Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.

That bird is staring Elle down.

Yes, it's a '98 Ford Ranger. Yes, people mistake me for the cable guy when I pull up to their house

Lane loves his new tunnel toy. Not pictured is Jay trying to show off and getting stuck inside it

Ok, loooong overdue for an update. I have a few pics and videos so I will do one a day.
