Impromptu Walker

Zachary pulled himself up onto his rocking chair, I think he was trying to get up into it. He ended up pushing it against the wall, which is where this video starts. (The radio was turned up loud enough that I could hear the talk show clearly, so you may want to turn down the volume on these videos.)




After he realized he couldn't get in it, he decided it was time to get down:

Aspiring Brass Player

What do you think? Looks like he's got some musical inclinations.

Phone theme

Curtis let me install my phone software on the laptop (it won't install on the desktop), so I was able to get my photos off the phone and update my theme.

This is the new one I created:

Ticklish Feet

Zachary and I were sitting on the floor after his nap. I tickled his foot to make him giggle, and then he leaned over and tried to tickle my foot! Too cute.

Potential Energy

Have you ever gotten excited about the work you could be doing? I'm just sitting here, sipping tea (with sugar, of course), but I'm almost giddy about all the things I could get done today (baby laundry, preparing the new diapers that just arrived, making the kitchen sparkling, filing all the papers that've been sitting around for weeks, refilling the cat food container, changing the cat box, continue putting transactions in Quicken, checking backorder status on our games, adding more products to the ebay store, continue working on crochet dinosaur, start working on diaper cover patterns and instructions for medium size....). So many things I could accomplish!! I'm all excited! But, I'm still just sitting here, staring at the computer...

There, I think I've cured myself. Listing it all out seems to have done the trick. I can go back to mindless websurfing now. (j/k ;) )

Cats vs. Baby Gate

We got a baby gate over the weekend. When we're downstairs I set it up to block off the entry way. It's a taller gate (I can't get over it), and it had the cats stumped at first. The first time Beau decided he needed to get over it he started by leaping off the couch to get a running start. By Sunday, Riselle was able to leap over it (without touching it) from a standstill. I don't know how he did it exactly, but this morning Beau knocked it over (it's pressure-mounted). We knew they'd get used to it, but we didn't think they'd start trying to destroy the thing so quickly!
