baby you can drive my car

Pretending to drive the car is Winston's new favorite activity. It has replaced pulling all the books off the shelves and running down the street screaming so mommy will chase after you. 

He could spend hours in the front seat playing with all the buttons and nosing around. 

Winston has also figured out how to plug my blackberry into the charger. I think we have a little engineer on our hands. 

Every time we get into the car and he realizes he's going to his car seat and not the driver's seat and terrible tantrum ensues. 

Beep beep and beep beep yaaa!

The little skeleton

Winston's halloween costume did not agree with him. Our attempts to dress up Humpty Dumpty turned out to be an all out nuclear meltdown complete with flailing of limbs and rolling on the floor. 

SO we tried something different. Cowboy. Hysterical crying and leg kicking as he tried to pry the cowboy boots from his little feet. 

So we tried something different. More crying and collapsing on the floor. 

We finally settled on his skeleton jammies which suited him just right. 

Although he's not too keen on costumes, he is a big fan on candy. This meant our little sweet tooth fit right in. Chocolate seems to be the favorite. 

So with the help of reese's the day turned out just fine. 

Hope all of you had a happy halloween. 

Halloween Fun

We've been having lots of fun lately. Walks in the leaves, trips to the pumpkin patch, the petting zoo, the children's museum. We're always trying to keep up with this kid. 

Winston thinks the word for food is "cheese". You will hear him throughout the day, "cheese, cheese, cheese". He even wakes up in the morning saying "cheese". It just so happens cheese is his FAVORITE food. We buy two bricks every time we go to costco.
He is still happy and silly, and adventurous. A couple of weeks ago he decided he was big enough to go down the slide at the park all by himself. Our crazy boy is not afraid of anything. 

Winston especially loves animals. Dogs and horses seem to be the favorites but he loves anything with 4 legs.  We had a fun date at the petting zoo with daddy. Winston thought the sheep were fascinating. 

I love this little shadow.

fun at the cabin

We spent the weekend in early October up at the cabin, just as the leaving were working their magic. Winston was in heaven exploring and throwing rocks in the river. It was so much fun to spend some time with just the three of us!

More pictures coming soon. 

These are few of our playgroup pals and the reason we love Monday mornings!

Newport

We spent a long weekend at the beach with Grandma and Grandpa Creer. It was heavenly. 

One of our friends was getting married in Newport Beach so we thought its was the perfect excuse for a little trip. Winston LOVED the sand and was such a good sport. 

behind schedule

You'll probably find it really lame that I am posting pictures from Winston's birthday party in July in the middle of September, but I'm trying to catch up and I've got to start somewhere.

Little Mr. took the city by storm. 

More pictures to follow of our wonderful trip, but for now here's a snippet of Winston taking in the views via Jill. 

Happy Birthday Winston

Today is my darling boy's first birthday. He woke this morning all smiles. He's been running around, dancing, laughing, opening and closing doors, and exploring. We love his silly personality and his babbling. I think he must know today is a special day.

All this makes me wonder, where did the last year go? When did my little bundle become a little boy? 

Happy Birthday dear Winston, don't let this next year go quite so fast!

Proud to present

You may have noticed there hasn't been much posting here lately. That is because I've been posting here. That's right folks, some of you know that I started my own interior design firm a couple of months ago and I've been so busy working on projects since I haven't been ready to share this until now. 

I am specializing in budget interior design so don't think I'm out of reach. If you need help on a project or want more information about my services, email me at caitlincreer {at} hotmail.com

And for now, check out my ideas and inspiration on my interiors blog, CC Interiors

We went to the laundromat a couple of weeks ago with Molly and Ruby. There was no clothes washing involved, just laughing, pushing carts, taking pictures,  and making people stare.
