Tiger Slippers, a Pee Session & Makin Waves

Little dude provides entertainment most would pay big money for....well, Mile High Dad and I would pay big money for. We understand the concept of thinking your kid is hilarious and so funny and smart when the rest of the world doesn't really see what all the hype is about, but since you all love us and the dude (the dude more than us we've learned), we share these videos with you.

After little dude's afternoon nap we played in his shoe drawer and found these stellar tiger slippers, given to us by the foster-care parents. Clothes only detracted from the cuteness of the slips, so we chose to let him romp around in a diaper and slippers. Fun times! If you look REALLY closely you might find half an ounce of fat on his left thigh. Unlike his buddy Valaciraptor and his cousin Dylan, who are up in the 90th%, dude is in the 10th % for weight. We're not starving him! He eats like a hippo.
Next you will see dude getting ready to get in the tub and choosing an opportune time to relieve himself. Mom's pants are typically the target for these occassions. Finally, Mile High Dad and the Little Dude had a blast playing the "makin' waves" game. Hes getting better and better at it! Soon we'll have to wear ponchos while bathing the lad.

It was a great weekend here! 50's, sun and lots of fresh air. And 3 games of Settlers of Catan, which I swept 2 of the 3. But who's counting. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to Vail to see Dad, Di, Steph and Brendan. While it might be beautiful down here, the mountains got nailed by foot after foot after foot of snow, so traveling wasn't so appealing. Skiing is pretty sweet right now for all you outdoor enthusiasts! GiGi, I'm talking to you! Better hit the slopes before that knee surgery is upon you! I'll be waiting at the bottom of the mountain, video camera in hand!

Have a great Valentines week! All you men, Hallmark IS open on the actual day, but selection gets real iffy. Mile High Dad can attest to that one...two years ago I got a lovely Mahogany card, which is wonderful if you're African American. Kinda wierd if you're not. I recommend writing a love letter. It lasts a lot longer and your odds of getting lucky go way up.

I've received a Mahogany card as well. The sentiment was right on, but I knew right away it wasn't exactly intended for me due to the silhouette of a woman with an afro on the front.
