my days with bug

Bug and I like to play. We have had two glorious days together- yesterday included three naps

:-) He is doing better scooting backward but mainly just likes to sit, play and smile.
It was chilly in the house with no fire yesterday so he got to wear his syracuse sweatshirt from the NYS Fair for the first time... thanks Grandma. An elusive shot of his only two teeth that we call his toofers

"Hey did you just take a picture of my two toofers?"

And the money shot from today.

"I am so big"

Dylan's dad died

My favorite 90210 episode was on last night... dylan's dad is dead. I had to take some shots. Just to catch you up. Here is what is happening here.

D: brenda you know if this hadn't happened i wouldn't be welcome here because you are still so pissed that i chose kelly over you after you two girls made me make a decision. it isn't my fault your dad wouldn't let you come to the party to welcome my convict dad home so when only kelly showed up we went swimming and made out.

B: you and kelly hurt me really bad but it is nothing compared to what you are going through. well actually it may be worse but for right now we'll let your grief be the center to attention and really in the years to come, i'll just be some girl you knew in high school and you'll go on to marry the daughter of the guy who off'd your dad and then she gets killed by her dad's own hitman and it turns out your dad isn't really dead and has been living in witness protection and you'll see him on the news one night randomly getting off a plane and find out all your years of grief, misery and alcoholism are for nothing so yeah maybe my grief is worse because it will turn out to actually be real

after 'the image of me that no one else can see or hear' turns into dylan as a young boy, the sweet refrain of 'can't cry hard enough' comes on and young dylan, the dylan inside the real dylan starts to cry

then real dylan turns his attention from the urn holding his car bomb exploded dad who really isn't dead to the dylan inside of himself crying

then they hug
"it's going to be ok, we're going to be ok" real life dylan whispers to the young dylan inside of himself

seriously best episode ever.

Finally caught on tape

This is Lucas' new trick... finally caught on tape. A few weekends ago the BG boys were over for a play date--- really Ali and I were desperate for conversations--- anyway being older and smarter than Lucas, they were using all his toys actually the right way and were putting anything that rolls down Lucas' plastic tree slide thing. Lucas had never really caught on to putting stuff at the top of the slide. Well all it took was some bigger and cooler boys to show him how and he got the hang of it. I have been trying to capture it on film but he never seems to perform for the camera... i'm working on that :-) disclaimer- watch in on mute, i sound like an idiot!

Tater tot feeds himself

Lucas finally got the hang of it. First self fed puff Friday 3/5 at Auntie Kim's house and by Saturday he was eating like an old pro. Way to go, Bug.

Laughing with Daddy

Don't go Daddy, tickle me some more.

Gosh I got a funny happy life!

Darth Baby

This is the best onesie ever. I am glad I captured these pictures because a. i think it is too small and b. right after the last picture was snapped, he puked on himself.
Wow Mommy is right. My belly is chubby. I am shaped like a tater tot.

We made it (I hope)!

Well we may have made it through winter. Bug and I have been desperate for a walk. Today it was about 40 degrees and sunny so we went for it. During nap time I unlocked, uncovered and resupplied the stroller. Once Bug woke up, we got all bundled and off we went. The fresh air, the bright sun, a trip to the library.... ahhhh it was delightful. Winter, you may have depressed us but you didn't defeat us.

He's on the move

Lucas has gotten quite good at pushing himself backwards. I know my life will forever be altered when he actually starts to move with purpose but I can't help myself, I can't wait!
