Photo Project: Day 4

It has happened. The independent streak is starting to show and he is oh so proud of himself, especially when the food actually stays on the spoon and makes it to his mouth.

Photo Project: Day 3

We made my favorite cookies today. Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies.

December Photo Project. Day 2

Hey wait a minute what about Day 1? I am going to start this a day late and a dollar short. Better late than never though. I found this project through my friend Kandid Kiwi and thought I would join in on the fun this year. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with it and it seems like a fun challenge during such a busy month. I only wish I had mad photography skills, and a good camera to learn on.

Here it is:

Day 2 of the December Photo Project (DPP)

I took this this morning when we were in transition from PJ's to play clothes. We took a minute to enjoy the lights on the Christmas tree.

Little did I know

Little did I know, we have been doing our own rendition of Goodnight Moon for the past several months and didn't even know it.

Dane points and the monster stuffed animal on his shelf

Me: Goodnight monster

Dane points and the little bear on a different shelf

Me: goodnight little bear

Dane: vroom vroom and points at his big semi truck

Me: good night truck

Dane: boo ah, boo ah and points at the bookshelves

Me: goodnight books

Dane: Daa Dee

Me: goodnight daddy

Me: goodnight Dane.

Sometimes I add an extra goodnight _______ in there to get a little giggle.

Dane just got the book yesterday as a late birthday gift. We have enjoyed reading it and it has seemed perfect at helping him unwind before bed. I am probably the last person in the mom world to have read this book. I had heard of it before just never read it. I think it's sweet.

Little did I know that old cell phones that haven't been used in ages with no SIM card can still call 911. Yeah that's right I was walking through JCPenny's right after Danes pictures, he was sitting in his stroller playing with an old cell phone we decided he could use as a toy. I brought his 'hi,yah' to keep him entertained, since talking on the phone is his latest obsession, while I picked out the prints I wanted. So I start to walk through the store and I hear something talking. I almost ignored it and then the thought occurred to me to check the 'toy' cell phone just in case. I had noticed earlier he had turned the power on. Sure enough there was a voice on the other end. "911 emergency is everything ok?" She had probably been listening to baby jabber for who knows how long? I kept apologizing saying I am sorry for wasting her time. She says "so there is no emergency?" I said no and explained to her what had happened. I feel bad hopefully no real emergencies had to wait on us.

Little did I know if I sent a early 1st birthday package in a cute purple polk-a-dot mailing envelope to my niece, who is currently living on Ft Jackson Army base, that my brother-in-law would have to do 100 push ups to get it. Ooops. The thought crossed my mind for a second as I was filling out the address, but I dismissed it thinking it wouldn't be an issue. Hope he isn't too sore!

And a funny picture because all posts need pictures.

Dinglehopper

At this point in his life Dane has never seen a comb or a hairbrush in action. I usually get ready for the day when he is napping in order to keep him out of the toilet and as you can see he has no use for a brush or even a comb. I had set out a baby comb on the counter because I was going to try and make his little fuzz stand up (it didn't work by the way). Poor little guy not knowing any difference picked up the comb and attempted to brush his teeth with it. I had the privilege of introducing him to a comb and showing him the correct usage. It didn't take him long and he realized the difference. He is a smart one. At least now he won't get caught "using a dinglehopper" so to speak on his hair--I mean teeth.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful we can freely worship Christ.

This thanksgiving I am extra thankful for all the little things we have seen God do in our lives in the past few months.

Magic Baby

It seems every time we get in the car or go in a store this song is playing. It always leaves us giggling and wondering what exactly is "a little magic baby"? Could it be like whoops and now as a result we have made a little magic baby (I wish it was that easy-though not everyone does). I am usually picturing a little baby with a magic wand preforming tricks. You know 'a little magic baby' pulling rabbits out of hats.

Or could it be 'a little Magic baby' that is really good at basketball? All you have to do is buy this outfit and you can make your very own ' little Magic baby'.

I will save you the trouble of listening to the whole song, start listening at minute 2:40 to hear Keith Urban sing about 'a little magic baby'. And just ponder what exactly is 'a little magic baby'?
