Real Men Eat Oranges

Rind and All.

Arrrrrrrr.

Good Morning, Starshine

Most mornings you are awake by 6: 30 am, and off we go into mummy's study and start our day

Waking up with the morning weather forecast




Let's read some books and pretend to be Linus




Now let's mash some of these here buttons and see what happens....




repeat cycle with minor changes/extras throughout the day

Der Yoga Meister

You seem amused that you can get into a tripod position and keep your balance with your head, AND grab things that are behind you, all. at. the. same. time.

Problem Solving

So you found a way to watch your shows even though the couch blocks your view from floor level.

See you in 5 weeks, Cindy!

Cindy is just about the only person other than mummy or daddy that you will let hold you for any significant amount of time. You love her, truly, and get a smile on your face when you spy her or her picture, and immediately say "Shing Chee".

Cindy's off to Africa for the next 5 weeks with the Medical Mission, doing good works in Zambia, and we'll miss her badly!

The last couple of weeks before she left, we went for coffee at Starbucks after lunch and arranged the chairs in one of the corners, to "corral" you in.

Of course, you are always on the lookout for an escape route :)

Goldfish = Kiddie Crack

We get the BABY goldfish crackers, and they are by far your favorite snacks. I try not to give you too many at a time, but when you spy them, you will say "phshh shh shh", i.e. your way of saying "fish". Which ain't half bad pronunciation for a beginner speaker of ANY language. But I digress from the goldfish.

We get the baby kind, which is smaller in size and less sodiumized . Each serving is 89 pieces, but you usually have about 10 - 15 at a go.

Handiwork

I thought that I would how you would handle crayons/pens.

You liked it, and would beam at me everytime you saw scribbles appear as if by magic, yet somehow controlled by YOU.

This is why

You are the apple of your daddy's eye

We were waiting at the automotive at Walmart, and they have a big picture window type thing, looking out into the parking lot. And when you spied daddy coming out of the truck to come get us, you went beserko.

I spy with my little eye





DADDY!!!!!!!!!!





Ooooo He's coming in the door!!!!!!

Backwards

Your spottiness is all but gone, with some faint dots on your torso. Yay!

You are walking much much better these days. It won't be long before you're just running running. Something that you ARE experimenting with, with your newfound mobility, is moving BACKWARDS. :)
