Ben's Party

we went to Ben's birthday party today and had a great time. I am trying out ways to post pictures and words to the blog at the same time from my phone, so bear with us as we experiment.

Socks

Today Mac decided to pick out his own socks. He was on the changing table and reached down and opened his sock drawer. So now he is laying on his belly hanging over the side and riffling through the drawer. I told him he could pick out what socks to wear, but he was having too much fun just digging around and occassionally picking one up to show me and saying sock. I thought maybe he was indicating an interest in wearing what he was holding up but no. Finally I gave up and said okay these are the ones. He did not like my choice and commenced kicking and screaming "no socks." Then I got smart. I offered him two pair to choose from. He picked one fairly quickly and happily put them on. (well I put them on him, but with no screaming and even some assistance). So he may be wearing argyle socks with a firetruck shirt but at least he's happy.

Don't tell Mommy

Mac having fun with his slide. He was cautious about going down head first, but liked it a lot!

Better late than never

So I know its been a long time since we have posted. On the plus side though, we have actually visited alot of people in person so that should count for something right?
I figure at this point there is no time for looking back though, only moving forward. Christmas and New Years were good, but there is always something new going on.

This picture was taken tonight in the bathtub. He is saying Ho, Ho, Ho. You know because of the beard and all. Doug also told him Jesus had a beard, but Jesus is a little harder to quote. Especially when you don't have many words in your repertoire. On his own he still doesn't say too many words, but he's gotten to the point of repeating most things (or trying to.)
He mostly shows off his considerable intelligence by getting into things. However, when properly channeled he can be pretty helpful. Today he helped me unload the dishwasher. I have to move fast because he pays no attention to whether or not things are breakable and he is really quick to pull things out. When we spilled some water on the floor he got a paper towel and cleaned it up. Not perfectly of course, but he puts alot of effort into it.
We will try to post a little more frequently now that life is getting a little more on track.
