Growing!

We have taken the little dude's picture with a stuffed football a few times (with varying success) to help show how much he's grown. These are from our latest series of attempts.

It's hard to get him to sit next to the football now that he's big enough to run around and throw it.

He has grown into a little boy!

Still Learning...

The little booger might be getting better at a ton of things, but he still can't use a straw.

He was so serious about trying to drink through it, too.

Here's a video of the ridiculousness. He was a sticky mess.

Our Little Gollum?

He doesn't have the Ring, but he does have two sippy cups.

 He didn't even let go to drink tonight. How precious?

He already follows the hobbit mealtimes... is this a bad sign for things to come? Or am I a complete nerd? (Or both?)

Sunday School!

The little booger got to go to the two-year-old Sunday School class today since there were so few babies in the nursery. He did very well, except for when he flipped over backwards off the picnic table. (Minor detail.) As a bonus, I got to take home a picture he colored:

Here's an unrelated picture of me and the stinker goofing around before bath time. I think he's trying to eat my face.

Three's a Crowd!

More than one is a crowd in the bathroom.

The best part of this whole thing was Sadie's disgust. You can almost read her mind: Leave me out of this tomfoolery.

Brilliant!

I don't know why we ever buy toys. All the little stinker needs is household appliances. It started with the washing machine, moved to the dishwasher, and now it's the microwave oven.

Too bad he's still a little young to put in charge of cooking dinner.



I think we are both happy for him to play with the microwave, though, because his other new hobby is flushing the toilet. 

Daddy's boy

Tonight the little dude had fun roughhousing with his daddy.

He also shook his maracas (and chewed on them). 

He was dancing and wiggling with his maracas along with Toddler Tunes (radio via cable), but then he turned on the ball-popper and both his music-box books. It was so chaotic and overwhelming to have four different songs playing at the same time in the same room. He loved it, but it made me feel a little unhinged.
