Why?
Okay I really have to wonder what my hubby is thinking sometimes. Why on earth would you let a preschooler (Mr O) color with a permanent Sharpie marker when there are washable markers an arms reach away? And then why would you let him LEAVE THE TABLE WITH IT? I mean honestly - this just cannot end well. We have blue windows, a blue windowsill and a blue Baby K. Mr O also thought that his brother and himself should have matching blue belly buttons. The only thing I could think of when I found him (with a guilty face and a Sharpie hiding behind his back) was at least he didn't draw all over Baby K's face.
Any tips on making PERMANENT markers to be less permanent?

A Real Sweet Guy
Mr O is definitely one of the cutest, sweetest kids around. Yesterday as we were driving home I slowed down to drive past some kids sledding in the ditch near our house. I waved at the boys and they waved back. Mr O saw them waving and in a really excited voice said, "Mom, Mom the kids waved at me, Stop mom stop I have to go talk to them!"
How freaking cute is that?!
How freaking cute is that?!
Baby K's Talking
Baby K is starting to talk! He says "Mama", "num num", "whats that?" and "uh, oh". He's just started and he already says 4 things! Give him another week or two and he'll be speaking in full sentences. lol!

Talented Baby K
With his first birthday drawing near I find myself reflecting on the past year with him. We were so blessed to have such a sweet boy. Its funny because Mr O was a great baby and everyone told us - don't have another one because there is no way you'll get 2 babies like that. We must have been really good or something because Baby K was so easy going, a good sleeper, never colicky, basically just a joy to be around! The "perfect" babyNow he is a toddler. He is walking and has been for about 2 months. He likes to put things in the garbage - things that don't belong in the garbage. Things like our canned goods from the cupboards. He loves loves loves Mr O and for the most part they play really well together. Baby K makes kissy noises now, he gives mooches, waves bye bye, says "Mama". He's trying to figure out how to open the baby gate.
As he gets older his strong will is showing. He is putting up a fight when Mr O tries to take things now. Just this morning they were having a tug of war over a toy. He has temper tantrums - real ones; lying down kicking and screaming. We're working on that though.
He has the saddest little face when his feelings get hurt. He's a sensitive loving boy. I'm looking forward to what his next year has in store for us.Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Oops!
Mr O is in big trouble. On Saturday while over at his grandparents house in an unsupervised moment (and I mean moment!) he turned off their deep freeze. It was discovered today so I'm sure you can imagine the result. BTW he's not really in trouble ;)

Playing with the Manual Setting
I got a Nikon D60 for Mother's Day last year and it is my first SLR. It has been a slow learning process but I think that I am starting to grasp at least some aspects of this camera. Here are some pictures I took today.
I know this picture is a little out of focus but it was just way to cute not to share. 
I know my opinion is totally biased but look at those eyes. Gorgeous!
I snuck outside so I could get a quick shot of Baby K watching Mr O & Daddy playing in the snow.

Enjoying the Warm Weather
It has been unseasonably warm around these parts lately and we have been loving it.
Mr O after a discussion with Mama about how he is not allowed to throw massive chunks of snow at Baby K.

New Tooth and a Birthday Present!
Baby K has had another tooth break through. He now has 3 teeth on top (almost 4) and 2 on the bottom. He hasn't even been fussy with it which is nice. He is such a great baby. I love him! His birthday is coming soon. I'm still deciding exactly what to do for his party but I have ordered his birthday present! He is getting a Discovery Rig by Sprig. It says its for 3+ but Baby K always wants to play with Mr O's toys anyways. All the 1 yr-ish toys are way too babyish for him. He wouldn't even touch them I think.
Anyways here is a picture and a description. They are on sale now for 20% off at Chapters.
Harness your child’s energy! Eco-friendly, battery-free, kid-powered construction! As your child rolls the Rig it triggers a generator that fuels the lights and sounds. The Adventure Guide in the Rig leads them on an audio adventure! Includes Adventure Guide “Cap Faraday” to take you on a Secret Safari through the African Serengeti. There’s a silly animal around every bend, and you’re always in for a wild ride! Includes a removable "push-pole". A truly unique toy that will captivate your child's imagination!
Sounds pretty cool hey? I can't wait till it gets here so I can check it out. Then I can't wait till Baby K's birthday so he can get it.
