Trip is definitely my climber. He attained the new nickname of Spiderman at a recent birthday party when he figured out how to climb all through the bounce castle they had. If you've never been inside one of these things, it's not really easy for even an adult to climb up the "ladder" inside. If this hadn't been enough, he then proceeded to climb back up the slippery slide!

The jump castle was very similar to this one

The other night Trip climbed up a large stuffed giraffe in his room and into his brother's crib. He happily sat there reading Jack's favorite book. We got him out and let the boys play for a few minutes then told them it was time for bed. Trip immediately ran over and climbed back into Jack's crib. (Luckily he still hasn't climbed out of his new crib...even though I'm sure he could if he wasn't afraid of the fall to the ground.)

Well, this morning he proved I know nothing about baby-proofing a living room. I stepped out of the room to begin lunch prep and was summoned back by Jack to this scene:

What's wrong with this picture?

In case you didn't figure it out, that's the fireplace hearth he's standing on. Which is inside a gate. Which he managed to crawl over. 3 more times. *sigh*

  I just found this song through my sister and had to share! It's such an uplifting song and I think it's going to be my mantra, now.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to show and tell about this week, but this morning Trip gave me some inspiration. This child LOVES hats and shoes and accessories!

He's hiding!

Can you tell what he's wearing as a "hat" today?

And what about that "backpack" he has on?

And now he's done with it all and it's back to basic pajamas.

In case you couldn't' quite figure it out, he had a clean diaper on his head and a baby carrier on his back.  This morning he pulled a bunch of stuff out of the bassinet I still have in their room and found this baby carrier we used once. He came down the stairs with it around his neck...he was so proud he'd managed to get it on! The diaper is actually something he put on his head yesterday that I pulled back out to finish his costume. He walked around for a good 5 minutes tickled pink with his outfit grinning at the camera and saying, "cseeeeeesssseee" (there is no "ch" sound in cheese, just a "cs" sound).

I'm still trying to get a picture of him with his bucket hat and his Daddy's boots on. That seems to be his favorite outfit!

Now head on over to Suzy's and see who else is playing along!

Showin' and Tellin'

It's time to step in front of the class for Show and Tell.  What are you sharing today?

I finally did it.  I got my tattoo for my lost babies.  I thought of it right after my most recent miscarriage and finally settled on the design and artist.  And here it is.  Right now the tattoo is still sore (just had it done two days ago) and the physical pain is bringing up some emotional pain, but I'm OK with that.  I love having a physical reminder of the little lives that were with me for such a short time.

In case you can't tell, I got it on my foot.  I kept having people tell me how much it would hurt to have a tattoo done there, but I feel it's significant.  It was a painful road (is/was) that brought me this far.

Here's the inspiration for that tattoo (if you click on the pic it takes you to the photographer's blog):
