I get unlimited amusement from the fact that my baby calls magnets, "magots."

"Mommy!"

He is reaching as high up the refrigerator as his chubby little arm will go.

"MAAAGOT!"

*chuckle*

The Doodimus and I like to hang out in front of the toaster in the morning, waiting for his waffle to cook.  We usually make some sort of big deal when if finally pops out and startles us.

Today we were standing there as usual and Doodimus said, "Mommy."

I looked at him expectantly.  He was looking back at me with a very somber expression.  "Ah

"PAAAAAH-CREEEETS!"

He pointed at his reflection and said, "Jesus."

The last time I had one of my children turn 16 months old, I was carrying around another one that was only two weeks old. 

This year, much like last year, we celebrated the New Year camping out in the middle of nowhere. Unlike last year, we had our own cozy RV and unlike last year, I wasn't nursing a baby every three hours this year. Oh, and we didn't have our Korean son in the cargo hold of the Jeep this year either ( Read more... )
