Foto Friday

Typically, in the grand world of the Internet, you're supposed to post your old pictures on Thursday. They call it "Throwback Thursday". They're so clever because those two words begin with the same 2 letters.  So today is [throwback] Foto Friday. See? I can be clever, too! 

Squishy face!

 Here is one of my very favorite pictures. This was taken a year ago, give or take a few days. When I'd help him make this face it had us all giggling. And nearly a year later, squishing his little face like this still sends both he and I into a ball of laughs. Life is too short to go a day without laughter.

Anne Wheaton was right...

Yes. Wil Wheaton's wife was totally right. Cleaning out the silverware drawer by taking everything out and washing it is for suckers. Just use the hose attachment on your vacuum. It will change your life.

This message brought to you by a sudden urge to clean ALL THE THINGS.

Photo Friday

I'm cutting it a little close, but the little guy has been recovering from a mysterious 24 hour bug-type thing today.

This was the first time I've been able to put Calvin's plate on his tray and him not immediately turn it over. He thinks that this whole feeding himself thing is pretty awesome. And utensils? Those are grand fun. It's bittersweet, honestly. I'm glad he's learning an becoming more independent. At the same time, it's all happening so fast.

You never truly understand "they grow up so fast" until you have a kid of your own.
