Sully and Malley's finger painting extravaganza!

Hey everyone! We have been enjoying the cooler temps down here and the chance to be back outside! With the weather so hot in August, we weren't able to play outside much, so it is nice to be back outside at the park and playing in the yard! Sully and Malley took advantage of a beautiful afternoon last week with some finger paints! It was so fun and they painted both on the paper and on each other---they had a blast! Enjoy the pictures!

They were both SO proud of their masterpiece! Sully painting Malley...

Sully as a work of art! :)

Say "Cheese!"

Sully loves to play with Malley's pretend snake. Funny thing about it--he was terrified of it for the longest time and would actually shiver when you would get it close to him. Malley used to chase him with it to try and scare him--guess he has decided that it isn't so scary anymore! I just hope he doesn't ever pick up a real snake and chase me with it one day! haha :)

Sully is doing so well! He is talking so much and learning new words all the time. He is starting to count to ten and has pretty much mastered his basic colors. We work on them all the time! He absolutely loves school and knows where he is going when we turn down the street of his school. He is always happy to go and always so happy to see me when I pick him up, so it is such a great thing! They do a lot of storytime, crafts, painting, and music. His teacher said that he is a very sweet boy and is always happy doing whatever it is they are doing, so she says he is a very well adjusted kid. Yeah for that! Lately, we have been busy going to the park, the library for storytime, and, of course playing outside with his toys and the dogs--Sully loves to play outside. Tomorrow we are going to Zoo Atlanta with his buddies, so I am sure we will have more fun pictures to share!

Have a great week!

Sully Update!

Hello from Hot Lanta! We have been pretty busy lately and Sully has been on many fun adventures over the past month. Sorry for the long break between blog entries. Sully is very proud to be a 2 year old--he loves to tell everyone that he is 2! He is talking a lot more now and learning new words everyday--he knows what he wants and does not hold back telling us what that is! hahaha! He started a little preschool class two mornings a week--Sully LOVES it and his teacher says that he is a very good boy! I have taken a few pictures of Sully over the past month--enjoy!

Sully at Fernbank Museum in Atlanta...

I took Sully downtown to see a snakes and lizards exhibit at the museum--he saw a ton of snakes and lizards, but the highlight was when Sully touched a red milk snake--Sully talked about that for days--he LOVED it, even though he shivered for a second after he touched the snake! So funny!

Big Lizard! When you walk in the museum, there is a huge life-sized T-Rex in the lobby--Sully didn't even really know what he was looking at because it was SO big!

For playgroup one day we all went back to the Children's Museum downtown--it is funny how Sully changes each time we go--we have been three times now--he was interested in totally different things this time and was able to do a lot more and interact a lot more with some of the activities--but his favorite was still the painting station--check out his masterpiece! :)

Sully's finished masterpiece!

Spaghetti Night!

It was straight to the tub!

Sully loves riding his tricycle! Grancie and Gramps bought him a helmet and pad set to go with his new bike they bought him for his birthday--he insists on wearing all the gear--it is hilarious! He loves the gear because it has all the Sesame Street characters!

Beep, Beep! Here comes Sully!

Sully loves to visit the firestation! He has gone a few times now and he just thinks the firetrucks are the coolest things! On this day, he was able to see a fireman all dressed up in his gear--a lot of other kids were scared of him, but Sully thought it was cool and went right up the fireman and said, "Hi!"

Future Firefighter?

Last Wednesday was Sully's first day of school! Sully was so excited and had a great first week. He goes to school Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:30-1:00! I have to pack him a lunch and Sully proudly walks into school holding his lunchbox! So cute! His school prefers tote bags instead of backpacks, so he still struggles keeping his bag on his shoulder with all of his things inside! He will surely grow into the bag by the end of the year!

Ready to go!

This past weekend, Brett and I took a little getaway to NYC to see a few days of the US Open tennis tournament and to visit with Kelli and Doug! Sully had a great time with Grancie and Gramps, and Brett and I enjoyed 4 days Sully-free catching up with friends and enjoying some great tennis! One night we got a great view of the city from the Open--enjoy the picture!

What a perfect sunset!

BABY P Update!

For those of you who haven't already heard, Sully is going to have a little sister to romp around with in January! We went for our ultrasound a few weeks ago and decided at the last minute to find out the sex of the baby--Baby P is a girl! What a great, little family we will have! January 5th is still the due date, so we are getting more and more excited as the weeks pass! Only a few more months left to go!

Hope you enjoyed all the pictures--we will try to update more often! Have a great week!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Sully!

Hey, everyone! Well, Sullivan is now an official 2 year old! His birthday was on Saturday and it was a very fun day for a little Sully! We started out the morning with his present from Mommy and Daddy--a new train set! Sully came downstairs that morning to find a new train set all set up and ready to play with. He LOVES it, and has been playing with it all day, everyday! Then, Saturday afternoon, Sully had a birthday party down at our pool with all of his friends, Grancie, Gramps, and Lindsay--even Auntie Sara and Stephen came in town for the big event! It was so fun! Sully's buddy, Jack, turned 2 the day before Sully, so we had a joint party since Sully and Jack have all the same friends. It was double the fun! The theme of the party was Elmo, so there was Elmo everywhere! Sully was in heaven! He LOVES Elmo! It was quite hot, but the kids didn't care with the pool to splash around in--I even brought down Sully's blow-up pool from the house for extra fun and Lindsay gave Sully a bubble machine that we took down for the kids to enjoy! The party was a big success and Sully and Jack had a great day!

We took some great pictures throughout the day to share--enjoy!!!

Choo! Choo! So happy!

Party Time!

We had a nice little area down at the pool with tons of food and lots of balloon--even Elmo balloons!!!

Cake Time!

Sullivan loved it when everyone sang "Happy Birthday!"

Sully knew just what to do with that cake--eat it!!

Yummy!
Sully and all of his buddies ate some cake together--it was so quiet--they were busy eating!

Sully and Malley!

Sully's biggest fans!

After the party, we went back to the house to open presents with Grancie, Gramps, Lindsay, Sara and Stephen. Sully got so many fun toys to play with and was so wound up and excited with all of his new things! We ended the festivities outside with one more surprise--a new tricycle from Grancie and Gramps! Needless to say, Sully LOVED it and has been asking to ride it constantly! The tricycle even came with an Elmo doll--perfect ending to Sully's day--he takes Elmo everywhere with him!

Beep, Beep! Sully loves to ring the bell!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! We all had a great day--especially Sully!

Sully's visit to the Train Museum!

Last week when we returned from the beach, I took Sully to the train museum with Malley and Catey! Sully thought it was super fun seeing all the trains and even getting to go inside many of the trains! Sully is really into trains right now, so he had a great morning! Maybe Mommy and Daddy will get him a train set for his birthday next week! :) Sully sure does hope so!

Here are the pictures from our visit. Sully was having so much fun, it was really hard to get him to stop and pose for a picture!

Sully and Malley were so excited about the trains!

Choo, Choo!

This was Sully's favorite train!

Silly Sully!

Sully thought it was pretty fun one day to put on some sunglasses---he looks very cool! He also LOVES talking on the phone. He is always asking me to call people so he can chat away. Some days, he gets talking like crazy --it is so funny to hear him! His favorite is when Grancie and Gramps talk like they are the Sesame Street characters--I sometimes think he really believes he is talking to all his favorite characters! So funny!

Hey guys! Look at me!

Hello!

Enjoy the pictures! Have a great weekend! Next weekend is Sully's big 2 year old birthday party! It is going to be a fun-filled weekend---we will probably have lots of fun pictures to share!
