Animated Chatty Baby

Posted on by

Lukas is very talkative. He’s also constantly moving. Even while I was pregnant, the boy wasn’t lulled by movement as I’ve heard is the case for most babies. He moved during the day, at night, it didn’t matter if I was walking, trying to sleep, or just sitting. That boy was moving.

Last month (5/23/11) after giving him a bath, he was really chatting up a storm. I believe he received Kurt’s lecturing gene. I pulled out the camera and snapped two pictures back-to-back, as quick as my camera would shoot.

Box of Tips

“Ah momma, ah get in da box?”
“You want to get in the box?”
“Yes! Yes, yes. Sophias get in green box.”
I ponder it for a moment, “Ok, but let me get my camera first.” They used to call these Kodak moments. Now that it’s all digital I don’t know what to call them.

It’s Not Zestfully Clean Unless it’s Crayola Clean

Posted on by

I was on a hunt for a suitable dress for Sophia’s upcoming birthday pictures when I passed by the bath time isle. The only toys I’ve ever given her for bath time were some foam letters and stacking cups which all fit neatly in a mesh bag that drains nicely and prevents mold. I never bought more than that because I didn’t want a bathroom bursting with bath crap and the majority of Sophia’s bathing is done in the showers at the swimming pool. For some odd reason I thought it was time to add a little more to the bath toy collection so I bought a Crayola set that includes paint, markers, and washable crayons with a case that looks like a crab.

On Sunday, she used them for the first time. I presented them to her and said that they were special crayons she could use on the wall. “On the wall?” she repeated with doubt. Ha! That’s my girl. “Yes, but only in the bathtub.” I told her. I used one of the paints to show her how they worked and then she went to town. Paint all over the shower walls and tub. After a while, she asked me for soap. I figured it was time for a picture after seeing the walls, but when I came back with the camera, I was too late. Sophia had soaped up her washcloth and was now wiping the walls clean. It’s disturbing how much she’s like me.

Jump to bed

Posted on by

This morning after feeding Sophia her now four teaspoons of rice cereal mixed with two ounces of pumped milk plus a little more milk to wash it down with (she’s a little piggy), I put her to play in her not-a-walker while I put some things away from our trip to Alaska.  She played nice for a short while but then became fussy.  I didn’t want her to sleep yet because it hadn’t even been two hours since she woke up, so I put her in her johnny jump up (that’s not the brand) in the doorway of the master bathroom and let her go to town.  If it were possible, she really would jump to town.  At the end of my shower I realized that I wasn’t hearing her jump any more so I quietly peeked around the shower curtain to see her quietly sitting in her jumper with her arms on the tray and her head resting on her arms.  It was unbelievably cute.  I sat there for a second trying to figure out how to get past her without waking her so I could get the camera.  Unfortunately, the lack of shower sounds woke her up.  She smiled at me and started bouncing again.  I don’t think she even knew she had been asleep.  I got dressed, picked her up and put her to bed.  I really need a camera in every room at all times!

Glassblowing Morning News

Posted on by

glass blowing ovenThis morning the toga-wearing Tim Robinson (minus the toga) was in Bothell at a glassblowing studio that offers visitors the opportunity to blow glass with local glassblowers and an observation deck for viewing daily glassblowing. They showed a person putting a brick of glass into an oven via a hole and Timmy asks, “So what was that you called it?” The guy grins and says, “a glory hole”. Tim, without flinching turns to the camera and repeats, “a glory hole”. I don’t think he knows what that means. Either the King 5 morning news team is testing the profanity limits or the whole editing crew dropped the ball.

I’m not saying I think it should have been cut. I’m all about free speech, which is why I have a link to the ACLU on my side bar. I just can’t believe it was on the morning news considering 99.9 KISW had to take down some billboards that read, “Harder, Faster, Louder” and 100.7 KQBZ The Buzz had to bleep the word “bum“. I really don’t understand how and where the obscenity lines are drawn. Of the three I would think that “glory hole” would be axed out before the other two.
