Peanuts!

The restaurant where we ate tonight had little buckets of peanuts on every table. It turns out that the little booger is a huge fan of peanuts-- just like me! He even figured out how to get the shells off all by himself.

Next time we go down south, I'm going to have to get the kid some boiled peanuts. Then he'll really know how to live.

Football and Dance?

The little booger continues to love watching football. He sat down on the couch this evening, turned on the TV, and asked me to find some football. Luckily it's bowl season. We're going to have to record a game to have through the off-season.

In unrelated goings-on, the little stinker has been attending Kindermusic classes at daycare for a while now. We get a copy of their cd every month so that we can listen to the music at home (and he can keep learning or whatever). Anyway, he busted out these moves last night. I laughed so hard I cried.

It's too bad he's a little camera-shy.

Back to Work

We had a great (but short) Christmas break and were back at work today. Look at these two goofballs-- they were getting ready to put some new hooks up in the bathroom.

I'll post some holiday photos in the next few days. Can you believe it's almost 2012?

Merry Christmas!

The little dude was entranced by a light snowfall the other weekend...

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Television!

One of my friends gave us a ton of DVDs for kids-- mainly with illustrated stories. She thought the little dude might enjoy "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" because it's set to a reggae-style beat. Here's a picture of the little stinker watching the video:

She was right-- he loved it!

Win Some...

... lose some. We went to a holiday lights display a while ago that was, um, disappointing. Here are a couple pictures of the little guy from it.

He had a blast looking at the spotlight and the luminaries, but all the pictures look like we were in some godforsaken black hole (with a train).

Hopefully we'll do something more photogenic next year.

My Top Chef

Sorry for the cheese-ball title. Anyhoo, the little booger helped me make dinner rolls tonight in preparation for some holiday festivities. Kneading dough is one of my favorite baking tasks... it was even more fun with the little booger helping me.
