Bye Bye Poo-Poo

Another embarrassing photo taken by Mom.

It was a successful potty trip, but really only the first. We're not pressing it, but he has his own potty in the bathroom and likes to try when we are in there using the facilities.

Black Patent Leather Peep Toe Heels

By far my favorite pair of shoes in the spring, C agrees!

Chores

C has taken an active interest in making sure Gunner gets fed everynight. He even makes sure that Gunner gets a treat. He's very good at carrying the food dish and hardly spills it.

Valentine's Day 2009

Our tradition is lobster cooked at home, so I went and got two lobster, I'm guessing in a few years we'll need three! C had a good time exploring them and even picked them up, braver than I am.

90 Day Hiatus

Sorry we were gone for so long. List of things that happened while we were gone:

• Thanksgiving, complete with Great Grandma VB
• Paris, just a trip for Mom and Dad, and we enjoyed ourselves very much!
• Mexico a whole famliy trip including the rest of the 'H' clan from Colorado. We all enjoyed the food, sun, pool and beach.
• Christmas, back in the States with Yia Yia and Pop Pop. C got burried in wrapping paper and got a really cool workbench that he loves, as well as a wonderful art table.
• Mom (I) started a new 90-day detail at work, which is proving to be challening and fun all at the same time.
  

So with that I'll move on to what you really want to see, pictures of C.
Love to you all!

The things you'll do for your kids....

Tonight, C was "stirring" some yummy something up for us, but then the colander turned into a hat. It's amazing what silliness parents will do for their children. (Earlier today I was balancing a small truck on my head to make him laugh in the doctor's office).

Look at me, I'm too sexy for my hat, too sexy for my hat...

(ok you get it)

Junior Photographer

After watching me take pictures of him, I guess he decided it was his turn. I'm not certain how he got his hands on my old camera, which is not toddler proof! Funny thing, he actually took a good picture of Gunner. You can guess what Santa will be bringing him!

First Fort

School Parade

C got to "march" in the school parade for "literacy day" which is the PC term for Halloween.
Good thing he was in his costume (Flounder from the Little Mermaid) at school because he didn't get to go trick-or-treating when we got home. He didn't nap and was a little monster without his costume, so we handed out candy instead.

Pumpkin Carving

In full Halloween fashion Eric carved two pumpkins with C. It's hard to tell if C thought it was a "cool" experience. I'm positive he did NOT like the seeds and gooey stringy parts, but once it was lit I think he may have changed his mind. I'm certian it will get to be more fun as he gets older.

Words

C said the sweetest words last night. Never mind the fact that we bribed him with candy and now I think he thinks, Obama means candy. OOPS!

Giraffe!

For months he would scream if I put the towel on his head, but now that he knows it turns him into a wild animal he's thrilled. He runs around the house in it and loves to check himself out in the mirror. We have two towels one giraffe and one fish. I'm guessing I should be looking for more "fun towels".

Broncos!

Direct Tv called and offered a deal that I couldn't turn down. For $40 we got the NFL package for the rest of the season. Which of course means Eric and C (mostly Eric) can watch the Denver Broncos! While watching the game (which they lost, boo) we had a little picnic of yummy football food. C still amazes me with what he will eat, this time he loved Buffalo Hot wings.

Kinderfarm

The second weekend the cousins were here, they came up to our house and we headed to the fall festival at Kinderfarm. We set out to see farm animal and see some tractors. C really enjoyed the tractors and even liked the hay a little bit. We spent a lot of time petting the "Cream Horse" they were very friendly.

Mom, leave me alone, I'm just reading.
