Monkey Boy

Well, I guess I should say monkey boyS. We have moved to our new house - and are LOVING it - and Justin has started the lessons on how to climb a tree. Not that Braden really needed the added encouragement, but there it is nonetheless.
This is what we did for FHE the other night - climb trees together! It was great fun. Braden has fallen in love with Curious George - both books and movie - and talks about him all the time. Braden was already destined to be a little monkey, being so much like his daddy, who was a constant little monkey (and still is at heart) his whole life. Justin, by the way, also loved Curious George growing up.
Creative, mischievous, cute, and climbs on everything.
That sounds like my boys.


This is our new house. We got an amazing deal and we are in a very quiet, safe neighborhood. We have so much more room, too. And there is a little tiny park just a block away that we can always go play at.
We love these Crepe Myrtle trees that line our yard. They are my favorite tree out here (hmm...maybe tied with the Southern Magnolia, it's hard to say) and they are perfect climbing trees for Braden. They were starting to lose their flowers when I took this, but they keep blooming from July until September. And it is all we see when we are sitting at our kitchen table and looking up outside the window. We love it.
This is what I found earlier today. I was in the kitchen doing dishes and I heard Brado laughing and say "high, high, high". I figured he had climbed to the top of the couch or something. I came out and found him on top of the TV!
I just started laughing and grabbed the camera to take a picture. He can find his way to the most precarious spots! A little while ago I came into the living room to find him sitting on the table that is between our couches. It is round, very unsteady, and a foot or two away from either couch. I have no idea how he got up there without tipping it over and falling. I have since found him on there twice, but the camera was dead both times so I couldn't snap a pic. :(

I Love the trees? How lucky are you? So does he also climb out of his crib then, or is he already out of the crib? kylee just started rasching her leg over the top of the crib when she is mad, but I think she is WAY too much of a scaredy cat to go any further than that. We'll see though! It was good to talk to you tonight for a minute. And thanks for drawing names! Can't wait to see you guys!

Wait, did you buy a house or are you renting? So, it never would even occur to Mason that that is an option. I can't believe he climbed up there. That's crazy. You have got your hands full. He is getting so dang big and is so dang cute.
