10 Months, Inspector Enzo

February 16th was the day that marked Enzo being 10 months old. He is such a silly little boy with a fun loving spirit. He just loves to play & find new things to inspect around the house. This day it was the ladder that needed to be okayed by Inspector Enzo. 

Shelli Moves, Stephen Visits

Shelli decided that she needed to move back to California. We were super sad to see her leave, but we know and understand that she had to do what was best for her. She has lived with us for the past 17 months & it has been great. She was such a great help with everything, especially Enzo. He loves his Aunt Shelli & they have a very unique bond. She could get him to giggle & laugh anytime. The minute he saw her come in from school or work at night or downstairs in the morning he would get the biggest smile & have to say hello to her. I loved having a sister live with me again, it gets lonely being the only sibling that lives away from home , so when she started discussing plans for hair school in Utah, I was thrilled that she would be living with us. We had a lot of fun running errands, shopping, baking & cooking. She was my second set of hands & I am so grateful for all that she did for me & my family while she was here. She is a wonderful friend & my favorite younger sister. ( I could say little, but I am much shorter than her) One day she will be a great wife, a loving mother & the best hair stylist in the state of California!!!

I miss her so much already & its only been a week & a half. 

There was one happy thing that came from Shelli moving & that was that our brother, Stephen, flew in to help her pack & drive home. It was great to see him & to spend a few days catching up with what was going on in his life. He is such a quick witted & funny guy, you really never stop laughing when you are around him. Enzo just loved him & thought he was a pretty neat Uncle. 

Trash Kid

I took the kitchen trash out to our outside garbage bin & as I came back inside, I found Enzo in our trash cans hiding place. Silly boy!

Front Porch Photo Shoot

I took Enzo outside to try to get a few porch photos. He was so excited to be outside it was hard for him to concentrate on Mom & the camera, so this is what we got. I love them because it shows his fun personality that we love so much. 

Active Little Guy

Enzo loves to go in our Kitchen Pantry & play with anything that he can get his hands on. He found this soda pop bottles that I had in there for a baby shower & just loved playing with them. 

Later that day he decided to crawl away after a bum change. He did n't want his pants on his legs so I put them on his head. He thought is was pretty styling!

Loves & Hates

Enzo LOVES stairs. If he could climb up & down them all day, I think he would. Since he doesn't understand how to climb down the stairs we have had to put up baby gates to keep Enzo off the stairs unless Dad or Mom is right there with him. Enzo HATES baby gates. He has tried to climb over, under & through both of them to get to his beloved stairs. 

Racing Cars

Enzo & I enjoyed a fun day filled with racing some of his favorite cars. For Christmas my sister Lindsey & her family got Enzo some very cool pull back cars from the movie CARS 2. I set up some orange cones to show where the finish line was  & Enzo began zooming the cars through it (okay maybe with a little help from me.) We had a great time playing & teaching Enzo how to really use his cars instead of just chase them down.
