Some of the funny stuff

Lately you say things that crack me up...

Just a few of them

" I got an idea"

" the bug bad wolf blow my house down"

"put a nonut in my hand!"

" I eat fish heads mommy"

" wait a minute, stop right there"

"no say no mama"
" me pick a moooszee mama"
You love your mr potato head toy and those molars are finally breaking through. All that drool has left you with a chapped face that I combat all day.

Bed is still good at night but naps are harder.

I think a trim might be in your future for 2011 because your hair is outta control.

Hideout!

Got a new chair and the box is way more fun!

First Night

Tonight was your first night in your bed.. you fell asleep without a problem. I am sure it helped that you were exhausted from 2 days without a nap. 

We watched a movie and I checked the monitor a few times to make sure you were okay. I wasn't getting the best view of you but I thought around 10:00 you were on the floor. Sure enough, you were. We went up and looked at you all snuggled on the rug. Not sure when you go there but I had to excuse myself because I was laughing so hard.  Daddy gracefully put you back in bed and covered you up.  Let's see how the rest of the night goes.

Switching rooms wasn't as bad as I thought. We had your new room all set up for you. You were excited to see all your toys there and wanted to play right away. I am sure it helped that we talked this room up for about 3 weeks. Tonight after bath I told you go to your room so we can put on PJs. You walked into your NEW room right away. I hope you settle into your routine there quickly as I know it is comforting to you.

The nursery looks so empty. I am slowly pulling out your old baby stuff to fill the bookcase and closet. It is hard to imagine you not going to bed every night in that crib anymore. 

Your new room is more than 2x the size of your old one. More room to play and dump the toys.   Will get some photos of the room in the daylight. We also took a video of you seeing your room for the first time, which I am sure we will never post.

Big boy

Just put you down for your first sleep. You cried for a bit. I had to go put you back into your room once because you just wanted to play with your toys. Finally sleeping sideways on the bed. Wonder what tonight brings. Love you Woogs

Brownies

Miles loves to be in the kitchen. Always has. He lately loves mixing. He has developed a love for my KitchenAid. Today he pushed his little step stool up to it and said "I gotta mix" so what is a pregnant girl to do but bust out the brownie mix. We were both happy within minutes.

Snow Day

On Monday we went to Kidspace with some good friends. It was a snow day there so you got your winter fix of the cold white stuff while we were there. You ran around and I could barely keep up with the crowd. You were excited to see a "snowman" and saved a chair during snack for Gracie to sit by you. You enjoyed "Party Time" and were so cute as you danced to the music.

Waiting for Santa

Random Bits

1. Yesterday you told me you were frustrated. So cute and appropriate given the fact you were trying to fit together a puzzle.

2. This morning you ran down into the garage and grabbed your little broom. You then took it upstairs and used the end of it to try to get a toy that you just lost under the couch. I am still in shock that you figured this out on your own but impressed with your skill in figuring it out.

3. On a drive to get lunch yesterday Daddy and I were talking in the front seat. We weren't paying attention to you so instead of chanting "Daddy" over and over you threw in "Evan.... Daddy... Evan" I died!

Birthday Video

okay so i never posted birthday photos or videos... go figure.

A great friend took this video of miles singing at the party. He still sings "Happy Birthday" when you ask him to "sing you a song" So stinking cute!  Now he sings "happy birthday mommydaddy" as if we are one person.  I love it.

Another Day

Today was another day. We ran some errands and after nap you had a great surprise! Daddy was home! You ran downstairs to see him and found the tools out in the garage. You joined in the fun. Nothing like a bit of dirt and grease.

First Trip to Disneyland

Last week Daddy took a day off of work and we went to Disneyland for the first time. I wanted to show you the Christmas decorations and thought you were ready for the excitement that it brings.

Lately you have been watching some Mickey Mouse Christmas specials so when I told you we were going to Mickey Mouse's house you were so excited. So excited in fact, you woke me up at 5 am ready to go. Learned my lesson and needless to say, I am NOT telling you the night before Christmas that Santa is coming. I want some SLEEP kid!

You handled Disneyland like a champ. No nap but it didn't phase you. We got 2 photo ops with Mickey and you absolutely loved meeting "Plunto" and talked about giving him a high-five for a few days. You also ran around Mickey's house so excited! You took it all in and made it new for me. We stopped for lunch and relaxed for a bit. After that you were ready to go on a few more rides. We hit up a lot of them, but not all. Buzz Lightyear ride was one of your favorites. You liked pirates until we hit the dips. Took a minute to get over it but when you did, you enjoyed the rest of the ride.

I used lightroom to export these puppies to Flickr and didn't realize I had my watermark turned on, I was too lazy to fix it.

Used it!

Got this from grandma before you were born and busted it out today!!!!

Dinner

Out to dinner with mama after school. You ate Luke a champ and we relaxed. It was super quiet at the new souplantion.
