Guess My Weight

We've been wondering how much the little man weighs (and people keep asking because it feels like a ton). Yesterday Doug decided to put him on the scale. He actually did so using the method of holding Mac and then subtracting his own weight, but of course Mac then wanted to get on the scale himself. Then he wanted to bring the scale to the kitchen where I was cleaning up. He loves to pick up things especially if they are heavy and Doug really enjoys encouraging him. Doug's favorite new trick is to say "take it to Momma" or "go show Momma."
Anyway, Mac now weighs around 27 to 28 pounds. Yes my arms are tired.

Where's my blankee?

So he doesn't have a name for it or anything like that, but Mac has become attached to his blanket. During the last few weeks he has started going and getting it out of his bed especially when he is tired. Now he wants to get it and drag it all around the house behind him. It needed washing yesterday so I put it in the dirty laundry basket in his closet. When we got home from church the first thing he did was go dig it out. (Dumping clothes everywhere in the process) Last night he slept fine without it, I don't think he even noticed. However this morning he saw it in the basket of clean laundry and pulled it out. (Dumping clothes everywhere again). He really did not want to leave it when he went to school. There was a major meltdown, I'm pretty sure he has never cried that much at being separated from me.
After I dropped him off I hid the blankets in the guest room closet so hopefully out-of-site, out-of-mind will be enough to break him. I at least want to get him hooked on a smaller blanket because this one is too big for him to really carry around and you know I don't want him dragging anything because it will get completely dirty.
If anyone has any great suggestions for how to handle this please let me know.

More swimming

 

So the swimmies look a little ridiculous, but he actually seemed to like them. He enjoyed being able to put his face in the water. He probably drank a ton of pool water, but hey he had fun right?

Happy 4th of July!
