We like to sit around

OH YEAH

HAPPY 11 MONTHS, only one more to go until he is one year old.
wow how time flies

little rock and the upside down world

This past weekend we went to visit my best friend who has been living in Alaska for the last three (maybe four) years. In July, she rejoined the contiguous United States and again became reachable by car. So 9 hours later we were in little rock. we went to the erospace education center, where X declaired we wanted to fly a plane



We also were so big at the zoo

and brought luck to the youth of the world with the rubbing a the razerbacks nose.


We also got a nice pic with the Blanchet family



Most recently we discovered that the world may look better upside down


or at least a little off center

few more pics

We like to sit in the middle of our toy basket while we read


and I love to read with my best friend

two big weekends.

Last weekend we went to louisville to celebrate a milestone birthday for aunt terry, and this weekend we are going to little rock to see the blond from Alaska.

here are some pics from last weekend, I would have pics from this weekend, but my camera does not see the future.

do I know you??

Why, yes you do

sumersults and smiles

Karen has a dream that our child will be an Olympic gymnast so in order to get this 16 year plan in the works we have started practicing our summersults. Mid crawl, we will pause then put our head on the ground and make straight legs. Ocasionally it is on the hard wood floor and ocasionally it is much harder then we intend, resulting in a scream, but no cuncusion yet.



and yes, being that he is a child of the 21st century, none of this can be done without a cell phone on our ear.

now for the smiles.

firsts you dont like

X has his first cold. I mean full blown cold. He has been sniffly in the past, or a little sneeze here or there, but today we have full on sneezes, some coughing, a really runny nose, and a kind of loungy funk, that exudes... do you really want me to get up and move around.
that is until he remebers that if he puts his head on the ground we do a summersault.
or that if he trows that ball, Arthur may bring it back to him.

its all begining to fall apart

So yesterday I turned on the news (like i always do) and the firsst thing I heard was "it's offical, its all begining to fall apart out there." Now, out of context, like I heard it and you just hear it, your guteral respoince should be... wow that's grim, can they say that?, that is something I never watned to hear! untill you realize they are talking about the state of a huricane that has made land fall and is breaking up becouse the lack of "power" derived from warm water. so i guess in that case it is a good thing that things are falling apart.

couple more videos

here are some more videos of the boy demonstrating his two new tricks, playing catch (sort off) and playing with his lips.
