Tibetian Rock Band

Grandma Ruth gave these instruments to Adrian before he was born. It was recently I felt little man would appreciate these. In matter of fact, Adrian loves the instruments so much the handle of the maracas had fallen off and it's no where to be found. We tried to teach him how to work the twist drum but little man decided wrist action is not needed to work the drum if he just twist his whole upper body. What a silly little man!

Wheels Are Turning!

Here is little man with his new toy. It's fun watching him learn to stack the shapes. He hasn't figured out how to sort the shapes but he's a pro at stacking. I find it amazing that he knows to flip the octagonal piece so the hole fits onto the rod. I'm such a proud mama right now!

Crafting For Little Man's 1st Birthday Party

I've been finding time after A. goes to bed to create decorations for his birthday party. Many people ask me how I find time to do all this and still be able to raise a child and keep a full time job. I say there is always time for passion.

Mwah

Sorry there isn't a picture to go with this post. I can't seem to find my camera this weekend. Perhaps little man hide it because mommy is just too camera happy and he's sick of it.

This weekend A. learned to kiss except he doesn't pucker up. He opens his mouth and slobbers all over his victim. He'll lunge towards you and plant a big wet one right on your lips-Attack of the baby A.

Happy Valentine's Day

Swingers

Little man and his friend Ethan went to the park this past weekend when we had a glimpse of Spring. This is the first time A. has been on a swing and he seemed very confused. I thought he would enjoy the motion because this would remind him of daddy pushing him on his Thomas the train. Of course little man didn't make that sort of connection.

Signing "More"

Up until now Adrian will sign "More" but not knowing the usage. Today he actually signed "more" for me to give him more bagel. The sign for "More" is using hands in a semi flatted "O" and bringing both "flattened-O" hands inward touching each other. Adrian's one hand is in the flatttened-O position and the other not. I equate this baby sign to baby talk. Whatever works for him! he gets his message across.

Heritage Farm Museum

Adrian says it's like comparing apples to oranges.

Little man joined Lisa, Luke, baby Selina, and Naomi at the Heritage Farm Museum in Claude Moore Park. It was a child friendly agriculture museum with lots of hands on exhibits.

Super Bowl XLIII

Adrian's first Super Bowl-Arizona Cardinals Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers won. As always you were very busy going nowhere. Mommy's busy little bee.

Oh! we no longer have pride in the neatness of our home. This is what our home is like these days...messy but fun!
