Daddy--really?! really?!





Daddy came down this morning dressed like this... cute huh?
With his beard like this...wait, look again..yep...with his beard like that!
Mommy threw a fit and almost didn't let him leave the house. Daddy left anyway.
Mommy was still mad when he got home...but daddy loved all the positive (yes positive) comments from people at work.
Mommy says Daddy WILL be shaving tomorrow!

This week











I had a great week! I played outside, played with my kitchen (making "hot tea pot"), played with Grandma, played at the Strong Museum...whew! What a week!

Vacuuming with Mommy


Look mommy, I can do it too!

Hugging




I am a hugger. I often am seen hugging (or maybe attacking?!) my friends. Mommy often finds their heads covered in my slobber (oh yes...I like to kiss too!). I hugged my friend Henry in these pictures for almost 2 minutes until I toppled him over. I'm a lot bigger, so poor henry!

Look at Mommy

color Book


Benji has been working on pages in a color book. We've been meeting every week with other moms to accomplish them. Here are the red pages we created last week.

More Christmas with the Piersons/Logans/Karlguts/Bobek




Photos!

I know we owe photos (I just posted some on my other blog). I have to download them, but our computer us full. So--I have to burn the pictures off and then hopefully I'll have some posted tomorrow. Plus, I'll try to catch benji doing animal sounds...we know more now! He's also progressed to signing thank you and please. He says clearly hat and hot now too. It's amazing to see his language taking off. I can say, go get the yellow bowl from the living room and I'll give you more popcorn and he does it! How cool. He smiles and laughs all the time. Just yesterday he was helping me clean up. So I gave him a bag of craisins and told him to help me put them into the pantry. He takes the bag looks at me and runs to the kitchen door...turns around to make sure I'm watching, laughs, and runs away! The stinker! He is climbing much futher than just the couch now...kitchen table, counter tops, stools, and now he's even pushing the stool over to things---I think we are in trouble now!
