Dining Companions

Moose and Baa are soooo hilarious!
What, didn't you get the joke? What's not to love about: 
"Knock Knock" 
"Who is there?
"PEEKABOO"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Super Bowl

This picture makes me smile. Yes, he's eating nachos and drinking hot chocolate. While watching football. I'm not that into football, I admit, but I do love snacking while watching with a crowd, something my parents taught me to enjoy. I was glad to pass the tradition to my date on for the Super Bowl.

Friday Cute AND Pretty



Have a good weekend.

No looking back

This little boy, the same one who won't go onto a full playground by himself, has no fear sometimes. He'll run off at restaurants (or the library!) without the least glance back. He's off and flirting with someone before you know it.
Good thing we're always close by, whether he knows it or not. But it's funny to watch (okay, except for the library thing).

The Most Interesting Toddler

I don't always drink milk, but when I do, I drink it with my robot henchman, Servo.

Thaw

Last weekend brought Chinook winds and a thaw from two weeks of near-zero temperatures, snow, and ice. I know, all of you got it, wherever you were. It has been a hard winter. Thus, we had to take advantage. Ray and E redecorated the garage (Ray cleaned, E added some chalk drawings), shoveled, and made snowmen, and the next day E and I checked out the state of our street.


E discovered puddle jumping (and I discovered that those boots are not really waterproof). Good timing- by the end of the day our end of the street was almost dry. We also managed to harass the geese at the lake and check out the Erie park, which is pretty fun. A good weekend all around.

I hope you all are getting some much-deserved warm weather, and that you get to enjoy it!

p.s.- in case you didn't notice, this is also a metaphorical thaw. I found a little time to download my pics and whatnot, and there will actually be regular posts again!

2 years in the chair

Ray was kind enough to get some chair shots of E on his second birthday.


For comparison: see the previous chair sessions.
You've come a long way, my baby.

2 years

My little man turns two today. Not hard to believe: in some ways he has been two for months. Sometimes he has (or develops) a firm view of how the world should be, and help you if you can't fulfill that ideal.

Most of the time, however, he's a whirlwind of ball throwing, drop kicking, drumming, car pushing, steamrollering fun. He has just recently embraced verbs and now he goes in circles around the first floor (this floor plan is built for E): "I kick, I kick, I kick" or "running running running". It's as though the constant narration in his head just found its way out. Out of nowhere, in a public place, he'll want "steamroller" (a rolling about the floor game he and Ray invented). Now, the block cart is a form of transport ("scooter!"),  and "Tower" is a sign he wants you to build so he can destroy (and help build, a little). He loves all the animals he can see from our house - knows the dogs by name and flaps ecstatically for the geese.

If you can keep up, the show is pretty amusing.

At the same time, there's the quiet boy, the one who will pile you with books and then crawl up on your lap, who will ask for books by a main character or a feature, and who will recite them with me when there are no books around (we do a pretty mean "Moo Baa Lalala"). He's starting to sing, too, although his version of the ABC's makes for a much simpler alphabet. Happy Birthday is pretty cute, too.

He still eats well (despite the fact that random strangers assume otherwise) - edamame, peas, corn, pancakes, mac'n'cheese, string cheese, breads and bananas probably top the list, but he'll at least try everything (except spinach, oh well).

Above all, he loves. He demands hugs and usually gives them when requested. The hardest thing in his world right now is the fact that Donut isn't that interested in being hugged (or, from Do's viewpoint, smothered). He'll hug books, animals, and even a random inanimate object, particularly if it makes him happy ("I lie-ke it! I lie-ke it Alot")

This blog has been filled with E's cute moment, his foibles and his cuteness. It has been a pretty awesome two years, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

Love you, little man. Happy Birthday!
